It was unexpected that Dean was discharged from the hospital so soon after Dean was cheated out of 2.1 billion.Logically speaking, he should have been so pissed that he became dizzy and his blood pressure skyrocketed.Avery felt that the development of this matter was not quite rightAfter she glanced at the news, she opened the messaging app and saw that Elliot had sent a few photos to her.There were photos that Elliot had taken together with their two children.Their smiles were radiant and wonderful. The corner of Avery's lips subconsciously turned into a smile when she looked at the photos.How she wished to return to their side immediately and spend her life together with them."Mom, what are you looking at?" Hayden walked over to have breakfast and saw that his mother was smiling, so he just asked in passing. Avery immediately showed Hayden the photos on her phone. "Your father has arrived home. These are the photos that he had sent over."Hayden glanced at the photos

Dean used Angela's funeral to send invitations to the people in her team through the media in hopes that they would come and bid a final farewell to Angela.Actually, he was emotionally blackmailing them.However, it was fine by him as long as his final objective was achieved."Mr. Jennings, I'm sorry for being late," said the man in the car."Liam, right? The funeral is going to end soon. You're here, which shows your sincerity, and that's enough. Let's just have a chat in private!" Dean said to Liam happily."Mr. Jennings, I'm not here on my own." Liam took out a big flower basket from the side. "This is the flower basket that all the other members of our research team had asked me to buy.""Good, good, good! I'll ask my bodyguard to bring it in," said Dean. He accepted the flower basket from Liam and handed it to his bodyguard. "Liam, let's find a quiet place to talk!"Liam gave it a thought and then he got out of the car.After the memorial service, Angela and Mary's remain

"I was just telling Sebastian about this earlier! I thought you were planning to have fun on your own and not take me with you. It looks like my thinking was too narrow! I'll down three drinks later as my punishment!"…As Sebastian watched his father sit at a table harmoniously next to Stanley, he started thinking quickly.His father looked like he was really happy.What exactly had he gone to do just now?What had happened? Could it be that he had gotten another bargaining chip?Sebastian quickly walked over and sat down next to his father.Since there were too many people around them at the banquet, they did not talk shop.After the banquet ended, his father and Stanley went into a private room to have a chat. Sebastian could not follow them, so he had no choice but to look for his father's bodyguard to inquire about the situation."What did you do with my father just now? Did you guys meet someone?"If his father had not gone into a private room with Stanley, he would hav

Avery was in a daze, and her chest tightened. "What way?""Guess it yourself." Sebastian kept her guessing. "Avery, I won't tell you everything about the Jennings family anymore. You should understand that my fate is inextricably linked with my family's.""Hmm. You're the second son of the Jennings family, after all. I understand that you're on your father's side.""I feel like you're mocking me.""Sebastian, don't overthink this. I'm not thinking that. Even if you say that you're indifferent toward your father, blood is thicker than water, after all. You're also your family's only heir. Most people would make the same decision you are," said Avery very calmly, while secretly thinking about what bargaining chip Dean had obtained now."I also want to rely on myself to live just like you and Elliot, but reality is just too bleak. If I were to leave the Jennings family, I don't know how I would live.""Hmm… Sebastian, you're not the same as your father. If you're the person to take

Hanging up on Sebastian, Avery picked up Eric's call."Avery, you're in Bridgedale now, right? Have you eaten? I'll buy you a meal." Eric was currently standing barefoot on a soft wool rug by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to her.He had reached Bridgedale a short while ago. The moment he had free time, he thought of asking her out."I've already eaten. Are you here for work or on a holiday?" Avery asked."Holiday. I could use up to two years' worth of holidays. I could have at least two months off." Eric chuckled happily. "I initially did not want to come over, but, since you're here, I did.""But I'm busy," Avery said truthfully. "I'm sure you've heard about Elliot's incident?""Hmm… I've heard about it. I even asked doctors that I'm close to about it. They told me that Elliot's incident is absurd. It's so absurd, they could hire playwrights to write it into a film."Avery could not help but smile. "It is indeed quite absurd, but that special device is indeed in Elliot's

"But I have a strong feeling that he is a man." Eric told Avery his feelings. He did not have any close friends he could talk to, so he had been keeping his worries bottled up this whole time."Why?" Avery felt that his parents would not have lied to him."I've gotten that impression from chatting with him.""If you two are chatting, then just ask her directly the next time. It's such an important issue, you should get to the bottom of it," Avery suggested. Then, she asked, "Does she know your identity?"Eric hesitated for a while before replying, "I don't think so. My parents introduced me as a rather unknown broadcaster.""Your parents sure are cautious!" Avery chuckled and said, "They only have you as a son. I'm sure they wouldn't introduce a man to you.""My parents can be sensible at times, but sometimes also illogical. Do you know how they introduced this girl to me?" Eric turned to the small bar by his side and picked up a glass of water. He drank some water. "They felt th

The girl stood in the sunlight, wearing a bright smile. She had glasses on, but her features were pleasant to look at. Her smile was extremely friendly. She gave off a very docile feeling.Avery looked at the photo and liked her a lot, too.Then, Eric sent her the profile picture from the girl's social media. The girl's profile picture was a photo of a buff man taken at a gym. Side by side, the two photos strongly juxtaposed each other. Avery could not help but smile. No wonder Eric was starting to doubt everything in life. If she were him, she would have doubted her life too.…At three in the afternoon, Dean finished his chat with Stanley and came out of the room.Sebastian immediately went forward and held onto his father's arm."Sebastian, don't take the things I told you just now to heart. I was just worried that you did not care about anything and would not help your father." Stanley looked like he was in a good mood, so his attitude toward Sebastian was extremely warm an

"Sebastian, sometimes the mere concept of something is enough to earn you a fortune. I don't actually need them to replicate Angela's reach completely. As long as they manage to recreate a close-enough shell of what it actually is, we can sell it." Dean smiled triumphantly."So how did the meeting go with Angela's team, then? What did they say?" Sebastian's heart sank. If the team had comprehended Angela's research fully, Dean would have the power to blackmail Avery and Elliot; but if they weren't fully familiarized with how the device worked, Dean would not be able to control the two."Only one of them came today and I just had a brief talk with him." Dean leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. "He said that Angela had only exposed each of them to different parts of the whole research so we won't succeed unless we get everyone in that team on board.""I knew Angela would not let anyone near the core information of her research." Sebastian quietly sighed a breath of relief, k
