"This brings us back to the question we discuss on the very first day: whether reviving the dead is really possible." Peter was extremely excited when he talked about this. "Angela might have won the Marshall's Award and she seemed to have had it all, but there was only one successful case for her research and that is Elliot."Avery already knew what he was about to say."Avery, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? All the past winners of Marshall's Award had countless successful cases for the medicine or medical methods they had invented. The high success rate is precisely what proved that they made great contributions to society, hence leading them to the Marshall's Award. Don't you think it's odd that Angela won the award when her experiment had only ever succeeded once?"Avery did not respond.She was rendered speechless, but at the same time, she had already learned that Angela won the award through unofficial means through Professor Greens."Marshall’s Award is th
[Oh? He was in the office today?] Avery typed.[Yeah! *Smiling*] The manager responded.Avery stared at the smiling emoji after every message the manager had sent and felt slightly embarrassed.[Okay. *Smiling*][I won't keep you from resting, then. *Smiling*][Sure. *Smiling*]After talking to the manager, a few others came and sent her messages. She took a deep breath and tapped on his contact. [You just can't wait to start working, huh? *Smiling*]Elliot looked at the emoji at the end of her message and felt chills down his spine.[I just went back to take a look.] He immediately replied.[Oh. I'm asking that you stop working. Just be careful not to exhaust yourself. Have you bought the ticket back to Bridgedale?][Not yet. I want to stay with the kids for a few more days. I will go back after this weekend.][Sure.][Why aren't you asleep? It's not bad for you to stay up this late every night.][I'm about to go to sleep. By the way, Eric is here in Bridgedale. He is on
The next morning, in the Raven family's apartment, Nadia looked at the feast on the table suspiciously and asked in confusion, "Mom, is today a special occasion? Our breakfast has never been this hearty even during the new year!"Mrs. Raven chuckled. "Your dad has agreed to work for Dean. They already signed the contract today, and he paid your dad this morning."Nadia gaped at her father, surprised that her parents hadn't mentioned anything to her."Nadia, do you know how much Dean paid your dad? It's beyond your imagination. It's ten times more than what he got from Angela!" Mrs. Raven said joyously. "I made an appointment with a real estate agent to go house hunting later. We are going to move to a bigger house!""Dad, why would you work for Dean? Dean is a sick man. Didn't you say so yourself the last time his scandals came out? Have you forgotten about it?" Nadia was concerned that her father might have gotten himself involved with the wrong person, so she did not want him to
"Relax, dad! I'll be careful," Nadia said, before leaving.Mrs. Raven stared at the closed door and mumbled, "Just look at her. The boy is just a vlogger and she is an excellent student in medical school, how could she act so desperate? Oliver, aren't you ashamed?""My dear, vlogger is a rather common profession these days. Do you really think it's that easy to become one? You are wrong. They have to be good-looking and charismatic—""Alright, alright. Stop nagging. I am still not supporting it.""It's fine if you don't support it, just don't be against it. At least not now. What happens if she gets more motivated to see this boy simply because you tell her not to do it?"Mrs. Raven scowled. "That's quite possible. I will keep my opinion to myself for the time being, then!"...This was the day when Eric and Nadia had promised to meet with one another.Eric asked his assistant Fred to go in his place to see whether 'Big N' was a man or a woman. On the other hand, Nadia told her
Three hours later, Fred returned to see Eric."It's a shame that he's really a guy! No kidding. You can't fake that Adam's Apple," Fred said regretfully."Why did you spend so much time with him when you already know that he is a guy?" Eric glanced at the time. "Did you two really go for a spa treatment after grabbing food?"Fred shook his head. "No. I did get to see his muscles, though. He got hot while we were eating and he took off his jacket, so I saw everything...""And? What did you two do?" Eric asked in confusion.Meanwhile, Nico showed his sister the screen of his phone."He was playing games with me and helped me get past the difficult levels! He isn't all that good-looking and is a bit chubby, but he is kind of nice. He didn't even swear when our teammates screwed up. I can tell that he is a decent guy," Nico said.Nadia shoved his hand aside. "So? Did you two plan your next gaming session before saying goodbye?""Yeah! I asked him to help me out!" Nico hit his siste
"Hahaha! He is a nice kid with big, puppy eyes. He kept calling me Big Brother and it felt good. I have a younger brother who is nothing like him," Fred explained awkwardly. "Mr. Santos, you won't feel that appalled as long as you stop considering him as someone they tried to set you up with.""I'm not disgusted by him, but by the person who introduced him to me." Eric picked up his glass to pour himself some cold water. "My parents definitely told her about my sexual orientation and she still introduced me to a man. The worst thing is that she even tried to fool me with a woman's photo." Eric paused for a moment and turned to look at Fred. "You said he looked exactly like the girl in the photo?""Not exactly the same, since he is still a guy, but they have really similar features!" Fred said in excitement. "He compared me to your photo when he first saw me and was literally screaming. Hahaha!"Eric had completely lost his interest in this person now that he knew it was a man."Mr.
"Elliot is in Aryadelle right now. We won't know even if it actually works," Sebastian said despite remaining silent the entire time."Haha. If it works, Elliot would be in horrible pain. Don't you think Elliot's men would inform Avery? Once Avery finds out that something is wrong with Elliot, she will naturally try to figure something out. Hahaha!" Dean was overjoyed at the idea.Stanley was shocked. "Dean, we should just focus on earning money. There's no need for us to make Elliot Foster our enemy, right?"Stanley did not know about the fact that Elliot had scammed 2.1 billion out of Dean, and Dean wasn't going to admit to being fooled, so he could only make up an excuse."Elliot and I have a past. Avery and Elliot were the ones who released that scandal about me," Dean said with a dark look. "Stanley, you can't be that timid, can you? If we can control Elliot, both Elliot and Avery are at our command. Their money and connection are all ours to do as we please. When we are riche
He clenched his jaw to keep himself from screaming in pain.The children were already asleep and the mansion was surrounded by silence.There was no point in seeking the help of a medical professional in his condition, so he could only wait for the pain to pass.Elliot had thought that it would eventually fade with time... but half an hour later, it was still as excruciating.He fell to his knees and leaned against the wall. His mind began to stray and his body shivered like a leaf, yet still, he gritted his teeth and managed to not make a sound.He didn't care if he died; at least Avery would be free, then."Mr. Jennings, if we keep stimulating his brain, his life might be threatened if this goes on too long." Liam had been keeping an eye on the time and reminded Dean once it had been half an hour.Dean glanced at his phone. He had yet to receive any call from Avery."Dad, why don't I call Avery and ask her about this?" Concerned that they might accidentally kill Elliot, Sebas
