"Hmm," Avery said and looked at Elliot, "You should be quite busy with your company too, right? You can now use the computer, but you have to manage your time properly. You have to rest once you feel dizzy."Receiving Avery's permission, Elliot nodded in relief.After breakfast, Elliot headed to the study room.Lilith pulled Avery to the living room to look at wedding gowns, makeup, and shoes.Avery looked at them seriously. She was more serious about inspecting the items before her than she had been looking at her own wedding items. "Lilith, I think this white dress looks nice. You can wear it to greet the guests. I think the longer version of this dress is nicer. You're tall. You'll look angelic wearing a long gown! A person of ordinary height like me has to get a custom-made gown if I want it long." Avery looked at the two sets of gowns in the picture and chose the long gown without hesitation.Lilith did not dare to tell her the truth that the dress and accessories she had c
Lilith felt relieved after hearing what Avery had to say. "Avery, you and Elliot complement each other. Elliot looks like a hard-to-deal-with person, yet you are nice and accommodating," Lilith said, fawningly."That's because you don't understand him. Take his servants for example. They have worked there for many years…""That doesn't necessarily mean that Elliot is nice to be with! This only proves that he treats everyone well and that is why they put up with him." Lilith had her own opinions about him. "I'm just praising you, and if I were a man, I would like a woman like you. You are able to care for your family and your career at the same time.""Lilith, you're being a sweet talker. Are you trying to ask me for a favor?" Avery blushed from the praises. "We're not outsiders. You don't have to flatter me.""Now, even if I have any troubles, Ben can help me solve them. I'm about to marry him. Of course, if there are any problems, I'll turn to him," Lilith said cheekily. "And I
"Avery, what is it?" Lilith noticed that Avery looked disturbed, and she immediately said, "If something is going on, I won't disturb you. I came here today because I had nothing to do."Avery got up from the sofa. "Did you drive here?""Yes! I came by myself." Lilith immediately stood up from the sofa. "I'll see myself out. You don't have to send me off.""I'll see you out." Avery placed her phone down and walked Lilith to the door. "Come with Tammy the next time.""Okay, we'll let you know before we come over." "Hmm."After sending Lilith off, Avery quickly returned to the living room. She picked up her phone and dialed Sebastian.He soon picked up."Avery, my Dad is dead.""I saw the message. How did he die? Where is Natalie? Have you managed to contact her? Does this thing have anything to do with Holly or not?" asked Avery. "I don't know. I only know that he is dead. Someone had sent me a photo of him, and they had put a bullet through him." Sebastian was feeling cold
"Do you think that Natalie will fight me for the family fortune?" Sebastian asked.For a few moments, Avery thought about what he said in silence before saying, "From what I know about Natalie, I think that she will try to find ways to gain control of Dean's fortune. She could have been the one who killed Dean, and this means that she has tactics that are greater than anything you could have ever imagined." Sebastian was already nervous and panicky. After hearing what Avery said, his heart beat even faster."Sebastian, are you worried that you are no match for Natalie?" Avery asked. "Don't be afraid. If you are sure that your father is dead, go and quickly contact your father's lawyer. At the same time, increase your security.""Hmm. How is your husband?" asked Sebastian as he suppressed his worries. "He is recovering quite well. He could start working from home.""It looks like Angela's resurrection treatment is really a scam," Sebastian sneered."If it had truly existed then
Sebastian soon found the contact of his father's lawyer. He called him.The lawyer soon answered the call.After Sebastian explained the situation, the lawyer said, "I also haven't been able to contact your father for the past two days. Usually, we contact each other every day." "He has been murdered, but I don't know where his body is. I have already reported it to the police yesterday. They are searching for him, but I don't know if they can find his body," said Sebastian. "If I still can't find him today, I'm going to increase the number of people searching for him." "Sebastian, you have my condolences. Your father died so suddenly, but… forgive me for speaking out of line. Don't be too sad, your time has come." The lawyer's hints were very obvious. "When are you free? Let's have tea!""Okay." Sebastian understood what the lawyer meant. "I'm free right now. I'll meet up with you, and we can have some tea. My treat." "Okay, I'll wait for you."…Natalie was in one of the h
Natalie's eyes sparkled a little. She said, "No. She's very suspicious. She doesn't trust me much."Before executing her plan to murder Dean, Natalie had called Holly many times and had sent her countless text messages. She had even wired a huge sum of money to Holly's bank account. Holly had given Natalie the number of that bank account before she had cut contact with her. Maybe it was the money that had finally moved Holly, as Holly contacted her a few days after the money had been wired into the account. Holly had told Natalie to come up with a way to kill Dean. The Holly's number on the phone Sebastian had found was a decoy. No one had known what Holly's true number was, and that was why Dean had no way of verifying whether the number was truly Holly's. It was because of this that the plan had worked flawlessly.Dean had still lost in the end despite all the constant scheming.This gave Natalie a large boost of confidence."She said that if I could get part of the Jenning
After the lawyer sat down, he smiled at Sebastian, "I guess I should call you President in the future."The lawyer usually addressed Sebastian by name or Mr. Jennings like the other people.Sebastian did not expect the lawyer to be so direct."Mr. Lycett, did my father really leave me an inheritance?" Sebastian found had found it hard to believe that his father would leave him anything, so he said, "My father has always said I was incapable, and he would rather donate his fortune instead of leaving it for his children…""Haha! He only said that when he was angry. If he had not said that, you would not be motivated to do a good job." Mr. Lycett did not immediately tell Sebastian the contents of the will. "Your father has a strange temper. I'm sure you agree with me deeply on this, right?""Hmm. My father has never once praised me, but my elder sister had said that he had showered me with praise," Sebastian said helplessly while brewing his tea. "To be honest, I don't think I'm that
"You can't think that way. After all, you all are not your father's subordinates. You are his children. As long as your other siblings had not made any major mistakes, he would not leave them with nothing. If your elder brother and sister truly did work for the Jennings family, then perhaps, they too might be able to get something!" Mr. Lycett said.Sebastian found it ironic.His father's whole life seemed like a farce."Sebastian, you're lucky." Mr. Lycett changed the subject. His eyes looked old and wise. "Your father has left almost all of the family fortune to you. I said you were lucky because you returned home and gave him Natalie's phone at the right time. You had contacted Holly and that made him very happy. So the last time he edited his will, he left almost everything for you. Initially, he had not planned to leave you much."Sebastian was speechless.Hearing the revelations, Sebastian felt as though he was on a rollercoaster. It was exciting. If what Mr. Lycett said was
