"I am in awe every time we talk about this." He set his phone down and looked at her. "Did you request for Billy to look the way it does?"Avery shook her head. "No. Hayden preferred to keep a low profile, so he created the robot, Billy. More precisely, Billy was created by Hayden's teacher, and he probably designed the robot to look like my father."Elliot felt a lump form in his throat.Hayden had never met Jack, but he had fulfilled his grandfather's dying wish regardless. Hayden was definitely a kind-hearted person to have done something like that, and Elliot believed that Jack would be pleased with what Hayden had done for him. "What are you thinking about, Elliot?" Seeing how silent he was, Avery leaned toward him and looked at him. Her gaze was gentle. "Are you jealous? He has only seen his grandfather in pictures, so I think Hayden did what he did simply because he was interested in the technology himself, not because he wanted to fulfill my father's dying wish.""I'm not

[...][I feel like I can just retire now.][How is your son this talented, for crying out loud! My son is almost ten now and all he does is chase after little girls.][Congratulations, then. You might get a grandchild in another ten years' time.][Is there enough time for me to have a daughter so that she can get married to your son?][Of course. My youngest son just turned four this year.][But I want your eldest to be my son-in-law! I truly admire him!][And how do you know that my youngest wouldn't be more successful?]Elliot's friend widened his eyes in excitement and typed, [I am going to get me a daughter right away!][Good luck.][If I were you, I would just retire, Elliot. Your son is so capable that you can simply hand over your company to him.][He doesn't want it.][So you are passing it down to your daughter and your youngest son?][My daughter probably doesn't want it either. She wants to be a star.][Oh! That leaves you with your youngest son, then.][He i

"Isn't that a good thing? You can rest for a while.""Stop messing around! I'm still young! My mom would be worried sick if I didn't have a job," Chad said without hesitation. "And I would be bored as well.""I'm just kidding! I know you can't stand not having a job, just like your boss. If Avery wasn't home to keep an eye on Elliot, he would probably be working right now," Mike teased."Yeah. Avery needs some rest as well, so you should go back to Bridgedale. You can bring Hayden over for their wedding. Don't tell Hayden about this just yet. It's a surprise and we will wait till Christmas eve.""Alright, I get it. I'll leave tomorrow."...Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Dean had agreed to meet with Holly that morning. Excited, he woke up at five and headed out at six.The sky was still dark, and the headlights of his car split the darkness in half.The people who had been waiting near Dean's house spotted his car and immediately took out their walkie-talkies. They sent their collea
Chapter 2258
Dean met Holly inside the club.As he studied the woman's face, he realized that she did not look anything like what he had imagined.Dean had dated countless women in his life, and he prided himself on his expertise in women, so he was not a stranger to plastic surgery. There were even times when he would accompany the women he dated to their appointments for plastic surgery.A person's natural face determined the limits of plastic surgery. No matter how far they took it, the procedure was only meant to make modifications to the foundation of one's face.Dean knew what Holly had looked like before. He had found her photos from the time Natalie had paid her to trap Elliot and Avery.Last night, he had spent a decent amount of time staring at Holly's photo.Sebastian had informed him that Holly had undergone plastic surgery, so he was not wholly unprepared, but Holly's new face was beyond anything he could have conceived. He stared at the woman before him and could not reconcile

"Holly, I have never been a stingy man. Help me find Ivy, and I can pay you ten or even a hundred times more. Once I have Ivy in my grasp, I can proceed with my new project. Do you know anything about my latest project? Once it succeeds, I will be richer than Elliot and Avery combined!""Good! I love working with straightforward people like you! Your daughter Natalie was the same.""Don't bring her up! She's a traitor!""Okay, I won't. So long as you pay me, I guarantee you will find Ivy," Holly said before unlocking her phone album to show him a photo of a little girl. "Look. This is Ivy."Dean adjusted his glasses to better focus on the screen.The girl in the photo was beautiful in a way that would win the hearts of many at first sight. He tried to take a closer look to see if the girl looked more like Elliot or Avery, but Holly drew her phone back toward her."This is Elliot and Avery's daughter, Ivy. She was sold off to a wealthy family which had had three sons and was despe

Holly burst out laughing as though she had heard the funniest thing. "Hahaha! Mr. Jennings, everyone here in Bridgedale knows how fulfilling your love life is! My guess is that maybe one of your ex-girlfriends or ex-wives looks like me.""Yeah! That's what I mean to say." Dean started chuckling as well. "Why did you come to Bridgedale, Holly? Do you know someone here?""I don't know anyone here." She set her cup down and continued coldly, "Don't try to look into my background, Dean. I'm not interested in you."Dean kept silent. Though the woman before him was by no means ugly, she was not his type either. He preferred younger women, and it was obvious that Holly wasn't young anymore. "I just admire you for your ability and am confused about your actions." He glanced at her casually. "You said that you have Ivy, so why not just hand her over to Elliot? If you return Ivy to him, not only will he not retaliate, he will pay you handsomely.""Mr. Jennings, are you Elliot Foster? How can
Chapter 2261
"Dean Jennings has shown up!" The man with the binoculars had a clear view of Dean's face."Is the person with him Holly Blanche?" the other man asked."I can't see... I don't think so! Look!" The first man handed the binoculars to his teammate. "That's odd. I thought Dean and Holly were supposed to come out together."His teammate took the binoculars and saw Dean getting into his car with a woman. He managed to catch sight of her face. "Huh? That's not Holly Blanche. Is she still inside the club?""Yeah, I didn't think so! They are driving off now. Should we follow them?""Aren't we looking for Holly Blanche? Let's go inside the club first! We can locate Dean Jennings easily.""Okay!"The two set the binoculars down and exited the car to head toward the club.The back door to the club was left open, so they entered through there.Half an hour later, they exited the club. One of them called their employer to report the situation."Sir, we didn't find Holly. We followed Dean
Chapter 2262
Dean's bodyguards glanced inside the house.It had a simplistic interior with just a few pieces of furniture which made the house appear extremely empty. Listening carefully, they heard the faint sounds of a little girl crying. "Is that Ivy crying?" Dean asked. "Why is she crying?""If I captured you and locked you inside a room, you would cry, too," Holly said calmly.Dean's expression darkened. "Why did you lock her up? Can't you just raise her like you would a normal child?""That's funny. When have you become so charitable, Mr. Jennings? Both Elliot and Avery have been searching for her, and this little girl... Well, she is not easy to manage, and she keeps trying to escape. She would have run off if I didn't lock her up."Dean fell silent when he heard Holly's explanation."You guys can go upstairs! She's in a room on the second floor," Holly said as she walked toward the kitchen. "I'm thirsty so I'm going to pour myself a glass of water! You guys want anything to drink?"
