"I never thought that she was living under our very noses, but if she does not know anything about Ivy and her whereabouts, she is no use to us either." Sebastian thought back to how Avery viewed him, and he grew upset. "Who would have thought that Holly Blanche knew everything.""This person is no ordinary person. She even survived Elliot and Avery without giving in to their demands…" Dean looked at Natalie's phone and narrowed his sly eyes. "Natalie could easily get her over to her side. Should I say that Natalie has some good tricks up her sleeves or that Holly has no vision? If I were her, I would surely pick Elliot.""Dad, maybe Holly feels Natalie to be more trustworthy," Sebastian said. "Right now, the most important thing is to contact Holly.""Sebastian, handle this. Take Natalie's phone and meet up with Holly. Whatever Natalie is paying her, we can double it. We have to get her on our side." Dean was excited when he said that. "If we can locate Ivy and get to her before E

Hayden was a little baffled about having to keep the marriage certificates.Other children handed things to their parents for safekeeping; why was it the other way around in his family?Hayden was a minimalist. He carried all his important belongings with him in his bag.His bag only had his laptop and mouse. If his parents gave him their marriage certificates for safekeeping, he had no choice but to place them in his bag.He would have to deal with the emotions that would stem from taking their marriage certificates to school, daily. "Hayden, have you bought your tickets?" Elliot was in a good mood, so he mustered up the courage to chat with his son."I bought a ticket for tonight." Hayden placed their marriage certificates into his bag before passing the camera to his mother. "The photos I took might not be good."Avery accepted the camera and casually browsed through a few photos. She praised him and said, "As long as you took it, it will look great.""No matter who takes

After Avery selected the tea, she turned to Elliot, "Elliot, do you know what language this is? It seems like it's in Italian.""You're right. It is Italian."Avery heard the certainty behind his answer and said, "You understand Italian?""I've learned a little in the past, but I haven't used it for many years. I have forgotten most of it already." Elliot placed the menu in front of Hayden so that he might choose what he wanted. "Why did you learn Italian? I thought you majored in architecture?" Avery was shocked to find out that he knew Italian. She had seen his bookshelf, and there were many foreign books in their original languages, but she had thought that he had bought those books just to complete his collection and for superficial reasons. She did not think he understood what they meant. "Back then, it was because I liked an Italian architect, so I bought her book. Since I didn't want to read a translated version of the book, I had to learn Italian," Elliot said.Hayden

Elliot had thought that Avery insisted that he profess his love to her in Italian because she understood the language."What's the point if you don't understand what I said?" he said sheepishly."Of course, there's a point. I can tell how sincere you are from your tone and your eyes. Besides, Italian sounds elegant. It sounds even better when you say it. It's pleasant to hear even if I don't understand what you are saying."Avery had given him her full attention, and his embarrassment dissolved when he realized that."Mom, do you want to know what he said?" Hayden asked.She was stunned for a moment, before asking in surprise. "Do you know what he said? I thought you said you don't understand Italian?""I don't, but my phone has a translation function and I recorded him as he spoke." Hayden clicked on the application and instantly translated what Elliot said into their language."Avery, I'm glad that I met you. I look forward to every day that I get to spend with you. I love you

"Hayden, I have to admit that you are better than me." Using milk as a replacement for wine, Elliot clinked his glass against Hayden’s.Avery knew that Hayden was weak to compliments. If Elliot were to act submissive and shower Hayden with compliments, Hayden would not be able to react defensively. "You are you, and I am me. We don't have to compete with one another." Hayden used to be fixated on who was the better out of the two of them, but now that he had his own dreams and goals, he no longer cared."You are right, Hayden. It doesn't matter who is better. I'm proud of the two of you," Avery said and reached for her glass of milk when her phone started to ring.It was a call from Mike, and she could already guess what he wanted to say.Being bullied by Chad and Ben on social media, he was definitely calling Avery to have her side with him.Avery took a sip of milk and answered the call."Avery, did Hayden and Elliot make peace?" Mike asked in disbelief."Yeah. Do you want t

The woman in black stared at him with contempt. "I feel like you are here to scam me.""Ms. Blanche, why don't we sit down and talk? It's so cold out here." Sebastian was shivering."I'm not cold. If you want to talk, we will talk here." The woman in black could tell that he was freezing, but she did not care."Fine!" Sebastian turned around to face his bodyguard and shouted, "Go buy me a down jacket right now!"The bodyguard immediately ran off."What's going on with Natalie? If she isn't feeling well, why would she ask to meet with me?" grumbled the woman in black."Ms. Blanche, I'm not trying to fool you. Something has happened to my sister. We are searching for her, but we haven't found her yet. All we found was her phone," Sebastian said. "My sister might be gone, but, all the same, we want to work with you.""Work with me? Do you even know the nature of the deal that your sister and I have?""We don't, but you can tell me. Whatever my sister offered you, we can offer you

Sebastian shook his head without hesitation."Is my cigarette too cheap for the likes of you?" The woman pulled out a cigarette and reached into her pocket, searching for her lighter.Once she found it, Sebastian leaned in with his own cigarette, and the woman lit it for him right away."I told you we are meeting at a park and you showed up wearing a trench coat. You had it coming." The woman felt no sympathy for him, and lit her own cigarette, before pulling her mask and scarf down to smoke.That was when Sebastian finally had a clear look at her face.He had studied Holly's photo before coming. His father had found a photo of Holly. It had been taken when she had been serving her sentence in Ylore Prison. It had been a clear photo, and Sebastian was certain that the woman before him did not look anything like the woman in the photo. "Are you really Holly Blanche?" he asked in shock as he took out his phone to find the photo of Holly. Once he found it, he stared at the photo an

The woman pulled her mask and scarf up, before turning to leave.Sebastian clenched his fists as he watched her leave. If even a fugitive had such a low opinion of him, he could only imagine what others thought of him.He sat on the bench in the park alone, smoking.After a while, the bodyguard brought him a down jacket and said, "Sir, where's Holly Blanche?""She left. She said she didn't want to talk to me. She wants to talk to my dad." Sebastian was burning with rage, and he no longer felt the cold. The bodyguard sat down next to Sebastian and consoled him. "Don't get angry, Mr. Jennings. If she's not afraid of Elliot and Avery, it's normal that she isn't afraid of you. There's no need to take her seriously.""If Elliot were to find himself in my position, he would have found a way to deal with her, unlike me. All I can do is run back to my dad.""If Elliot is that great, Angela wouldn't have been able to toy with him as she had. I think you are overestimating him," the body
