Chapter 2260
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

"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

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?"

Before Dean could respond, the little girl said again, "Grandpa, look at them..."She pointed at Dean's bodyguard and said, "They look like puppets!"Dean turned around to find his bodyguard being held at gunpoint, and another gun was pointed directly at him. Terrified, Dean instinctively raised his arms. "What... What are you doing... I paid... I paid Holly Blanche 1.5 million... Is that not enough? How much do you want? Just... name your price... I will pay you right away!" he stuttered.He did not want to die. He was going to make a lot more money and become the richest man in the world. He would surpass Avery, Elliot, and all of his friends.Everyone who spoke his name would refer to him as a legend."Dean Jennings, did you ever stop and think that I'm not after money?" said a woman who was standing at the door. 'Holly' stood outside the door wearing a cold smile.Dean sobered at the sight of her face.It was no wonder she looked familiar, he had seen that face before an

"You didn't know? Dean Jennings, that's karma for you! Hahaha!" The woman burst into laughter. "It's so unfair that you get to live this long!""So it's Natalie... It's her..." he hissed. A bitter smile split his face. He would not be in such misery if he had died at the hands of anyone else."That traitor!" he thought. He had yet to find her and kill her, and in the end, he ended up in her trap....At nine in the morning, Sebastian arrived at the Jennings' mansion.Sebastian had told his father the night before that he had wanted to accompany him when he went to meet Holly, but Dean had rejected his son's suggestion, as he thought that Sebastian would only get in his way.Sebastian had no choice but to give up.Wanting to know how the negotiations went, he waited for his father to return. Though he knew that Dean would not bring Ivy to his own mansion once he found her, seeing a photo of Ivy would be good enough. Sebastian did not know if Ivy looked more like Elliot or Avery
Chapter 2265
It was snowing that day and the temperature had dropped.Sebastian stood on the porch, put on his jacket, and stepped out onto the snow. "Mr. Jennings, where are you going?""I'm going outside to have a look around. I'll be back soon," Sebastian said as he walked out.His bodyguard followed him closely. "Mr. Jennings, wouldn't it be easier for you to just call your father? What's the point of waiting here?" he asked in confusion while standing in the raging wind."I tried. He didn't pick up." Sebastian had tried calling his father right before he headed out, and though the call itself went through, Dean did not answer.According to what the servant said, his father headed out early so he must have already met with Holly."I'm worried that something might have happened to him," Sebastian said."He must have his bodyguards with him..." the bodyguard said. "Should I call my brother and ask?"The bodyguard's brother worked as Dean's bodyguard."Go on!" Sebastian remained standin

"Mom, once I find Dean Jennings, I'll call you. It's late. I won't call you tonight," Hayden said. "Sleep early. Don't stay up for someone like him. Even if he is dead, he deserved it.""Hmm. I'm not worried about him. His son just told me that he couldn't find him. I thought there might be some progress on the case." Avery only wanted to know if there was any news about Ivy. She was slightly more nervous because of Ivy."If there is any news about Ivy, I will immediately tell you," Hayden said."Okay."After hanging up, Avery looked at Elliot. "Dean had arranged to meet with Holly today, but he left the premise with another woman. I find this all too strange."Elliot found it strange too. "Could the woman be someone Holly sent?""Now that you mentioned it, it might be, but even if Dean is meeting with Holly, he should still be able to answer his phone, right?" Avery asked another question, "No matter how you see it, Dean should hold all the power. Holly is just a fugitive from Y
Chapter 2267
This place contained everything that Dean held precious. It would not be a bad thing if Dean was dead. If he could successfully inherit Dean's fortune, he would do it, and he would not have to put in any work in order to inherit it either. However, Sebastian did not believe that he would be that lucky. Perhaps, Natalie would fight him for the inheritance!If his guess was right, then Natalie would contact him. "Sir, should we look for Old Mr. Jennings?" The bodyguard was a little worried.Sebastian said, "Where are we going to start our search? Bridgedale is huge. He left at six in the morning; who knows where he will be right now? I just called Avery. She said that Dad wasn't taken by her people.""Then, why can't we contact him?""Avery said that he left with a woman," Sebastian said calmly. "Let's wait here! If we can't contact him after 24 hours, we will make a police report and leave it to the police."The bodyguard lowered his head. He did not dare disagree.If they co
