Chapter 2148
Dean's face darkened sinisterly! "Mary, previously, a shocking scandal about my family was released. You must have heard of it, right?" Dean intimidated her. "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"Mary had just finished university. She had not witnessed the dangerous part of society before. How could she bear Dean's cruel tactics?It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.However, she was not afraid of what Dean would do to her. She was afraid of death. She was, after all, different from Angela.Angela had lived for a long time. She had seen everything she had wanted to see. However, Mary's life was just beginning, yet it had to end already."Uncle Dean, before my mom died, she talked to me for a while." Mary was silent for a while before saying, "She said she had already achieved what she wanted to achieve. She had no regrets in this life. The importance of life is not in its length, but in how well you live it. She felt that if she were to continue living

Dean looked at his phone and saw that it was a call from his lawyer. He glared at Mary, who was still sitting in the chair. Mary's eyes were already closed. He did not know if she had died yet or not. However, she was already dead to him."Take her away! How unlucky!" Dean said through gritted teeth to his assistant."Okay! I'll get people to take her away!" The assistant left the ward and called two bodyguards over to take Mary out.Dean sat on the bed and answered the call. "Has Natalie gotten the contract?""Mr. Jennings, I can't contact Natalie," the lawyer said. "She had told me this morning that once we send the money over, she will be able to get the transfer agreement for Tate Industries by this afternoon, but after we gave her the money, she began to ignore us."This was a blow to Dean. He became dizzy and fell onto the bed."W-Where is she?" Dean clutched his forehead while panting."She said that she went to Tate Industries to deal with something. I just got off the

Avery said, "There is no such force. If there is any force, it will be from ourselves." She paused for a while before saying, "Mary Hills is dead?""Yes, she poisoned herself," Sebastian replied. "She consumed the same poison as Angela. Mother and daughter have long expected this outcome, so they prepared beforehand."Avery's heart constricted a little. Why did things turn out this way? Dean only wanted Angela's resurrection treatment. If he got what he wanted, logically speaking, he would not have killed Mary. Why did Mary kill herself too?"Sebastian, before Mary killed herself, did she give your father Angela's things?" Avery asked."I don't think so. I was not there. When I arrived, Mary was already dead." Sebastian stood outside the ward. His expressions were serious. "I don't think my father has two-point-one billion dollars with him. He must have surely borrowed money. If he can't get this money back, I think his blood pressure won't ever come down.""Are you worried th

"Now we no longer need to deal with Natalie. Dean hates Natalie a lot right now. As long as Dean found Natalie, she would surely be tortured," Elliot analyzed the situation for Avery."Elliot, why didn't you tell me this earlier?""Because I'm not sure if Natalie would take the bait or not," Elliot explained. "She only transferred the money to me this morning. I planned to tell you when we met at night.""Hmm. How did you get her to take the bait?""When you told me that she was the one behind the incident in Ylore, I got someone to look for her parents. Even if Angela did not die, I would still seek revenge on Natalie," Elliot said slowly. "But she did not take the bait not completely because of her parents in Aryadelle. From the moment she failed to get rid of us, she had nowhere to run anymore.""Where are you right now?" Avery listened to Elliot's methodical tone, and she felt as if Elliot from the past had returned. The familiar sense of security made her let out a sigh of re

Perhaps it was because he had received plenty of bad news that day, but Dean's ability to bear the news had increased.When he heard what Sebastian said, he did not get angry which would worsen his condition.He looked straight ahead at the white wall in front of him. He froze. It was as if someone had cast a spell over him. Sebastian looked at his father in a daze, as if he saw his father suddenly aging ten years in front of him.Dean had never looked this depressed. "Dad, I don't think we can get this money back. You should just accept it!" Sebastian said once more, consoling his father, "How much did you borrow? We'll slowly pay it back."Dean snickered condescendingly, "Sebastian, I'm not dead yet! Even if Angela and Mary have died, it can't change the fact that Elliot is a dead man walking! I have never been afraid of anyone in my entire life! So, what if he is richer than me? I'll just fight with him!""Dad, you should recuperate. Your health is more important," Sebastia

"Bring it back to the children, say it was from you." Avery was thoughtful. She explained, "You have been missing for so long. The two children have been equally worried and sad, so you bringing them gifts will make them happy."Elliot had a look at the gifts that she bought. Avery bought Layla a pretty hair clip."Layla's liking hasn't changed in so many years." Elliot gently chuckled."She likes to be pretty. She likes jewelry. She is still young. Things like necklaces and bracelets are not suitable for her, so a hairclip is better.""Hmm." He placed the hair clip down and picked up the toy plane she bought for Robert. "There are a lot of these types of toys back in Aryadelle. I can buy it for him when I get back.""It doesn't take up space. Place it into your luggage," Avery said and headed to the master bedroom. "Have you booked your flight tickets?""Yes. The flight is tomorrow at eleven in the morning.""Okay. Once you're back home. If you don't feel comfortable, you hav

"Avery, three days later, we will be holding a funeral for Angela and Mary. Will you be attending?" Sebastian asked. "It's fine if you don't have the time.""Your father is holding a funeral for them?" Avery asked. "He should be loathing Angela to death. Why is he helping her with a funeral?""I don't know." Sebastian indeed did not know the reason. Besides, he no longer wanted to reveal Dean's plans to Avery. At that moment, the Jennings were more than one billion dollars in debt. He did not dare to imagine this number."He could not just go up against his father and help Avery and Elliot."Oh… we'll see about it three days later!" Avery thought for a while. "Is your father still alright?""Not great. He borrowed more than one billion from the bank.""Sebastian, look on the bright side. That is his debt. That isn't your debt. You don't have to help him pay it back." Other than comforting him, Avery did not know what else to say, because she would not possibly return the money to

Previously, Lilith had never called out to Elliot this affectionately.Back then, she had always felt that Elliot was invincible. After this incident, she realized that he was just a normal person of flesh and blood.Elliot never thought that she would call out to him this affectionately. He was not used to it.Elliot walked over to them. Before he could say anything, Ben called him in the same affectionate manner.Elliot was speechless."He is my brother! Not yours!" Lilith glared at Ben. "I haven't married you yet!""Lilith, you have already agreed to my marriage proposal, you will marry me sooner or later." Ben was a little reluctant. "You said that after you found Elliot, you will marry me. Now that he is back. When are we going to have the wedding?"Elliot asked, "Are the preparations in order?""Yes! My parents organized it," Ben explained. "I should be the one preparing the wedding, but after your incident, I really didn't have the mood to do it.""Since it's already pr
