Stanley's anger was instantly ignited."F*ck! She said scammers will get their whole family killed! She might as well curse me to death!"Sebastian could no longer hold his laughter in. "Calm down, Mr. Palmer. That's the way she is. She has no boundaries and could give you a heart attack with her words alone. I felt the same about the things she said to me before. Why exactly do you think I am letting go of such a profitable project? I don't dare to cross her. Let's just give up. I will pay you back however much you invested. I know that you have already invested quite an amount into the project. I will pay you back everything."Stanley felt much better but was still slightly frustrated. "That's a lot of money. I would have earned a small fortune had I kept it in the bank to collect interest...""I will pay you the interest as well, then. You have been friends with my dad for many years, and I can't watch you lose all that money," Sebastian said generously. "If there's any other su

"Elliot, what are you doing?"The two had just returned from the paternity test center. Avery had gone back to the bedroom to sleep but had struggled to do so. On the other hand, Elliot had not been tired, so he had not gone into the bedroom with her.She went downstairs to find Elliot preparing tools that looked to be fishing gear."Didn't you tell me to try fishing as a hobby? I decided to give it a try," Elliot said as he adjusted the gear.She looked at him curiously. "Where will you go fishing, Elliot? Maybe in our backyard by the artificial hill?"Elliot looked at her quizzically. There was indeed an artificial hill in his backyard with a pond that had plenty of fishes next to it. However, the idea of fishing there was simply ridiculous, as there was no meaning to fishing there.He did not even need the fishing pod and could simply grab a net, which would guarantee that he would get a lot of fish at once."Elliot, this fishing rod looks so cool!" Avery picked it up. "It'

"Elliot, how's this? Great atmosphere, right?" Avery went back to sit down next to Elliot and beamed at him."Sure. Looks great. It would be weird if I can't get any fish, though," Elliot said with a smile."Why wouldn't you? There are fishes everywhere! I can get down there myself and just grab blindly, and I will still end up with a few." Avery found it hard to believe that Elliot would fail despite having such wonderful gear. "Have you drawn them in? I watched videos of others fishing before. I think you need to draw them in first," she said, before grabbing a handful of bait and tossing them into the pond."All the fishes are gathered in this small pond. I don't really think we need to draw them in.""Oh, right. I think the video I saw was someone fishing in the wild.""Yeah. Avery, don't you want to stay inside the house? It's cold out here."Elliot wasn't actually worried that she would be cold, as Avery had plenty of layers on; he simply felt nervous having her next to him

"Good luck, Elliot! The next one is going to be a big one!""Yeah, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it now.""You are doing great, Elliot! Let's eat fish and chips tonight!" Avery giggled as she watched him throw the hook back into the water.Another half hour passed by swiftly.Mike tried to get Avery's attention from the chatroom. [Avery, how many fish did Elliot end up with? Send us a photo!]Tammy responded with an emoji of her rubbing her hands together excitedly.[Tammy, can you stop acting so obvious that you are waiting for drama?] Jun typed.Jun was worried that Elliot had not caught any fish, as Avery had not shown off after the first photo. If Elliot had caught a big fish, Avery would have definitely shown them a photo.[What makes you think I am waiting for drama? I am just excited! Avery, are you still fishing? If it's still going on, I will drive there now to watch! Can you let me have half the fish?] Tammy typed.Avery read through their messages and glanced

"You said you wanted to eat fish, didn't you? Just grab whatever you want," Avery said.Tammy pulled Avery to the side. "Did Elliot go into the pond to catch these? Or maybe your bodyguards did? Elliot definitely didn't catch these with his fishing rod."Avery sighed. "I caught these with a net. A few big ones came up as soon as I lowered the net.""Pffttt!""I didn't even step into the pond. I just stood by the edge.""Hahahaha!""Alright, Tammy. Stop laughing. I feel like he's probably never going to fish again. He keeps researching online to find out what's wrong after going back inside. I feel so sorry for him.""Is it that bad? He's not your son. Why are you tip-toeing around him? I would have laughed so hard if the same thing happened to Jun!"Avery was silent.Elliot heard people talking outside and came out. "You came here alone?""Yeah! I came to see how many fishes you caught," Tammy teased. "Why didn't you end up with at least a big one? You are horrible at this. W

Sebastian was still too young to require a personal doctor of his own. By the time he did need one, he certainly would not be using the same doctors who worked for Dean.Natalie posted her accomplishment to the group.Everyone except for Sebastian had been added to a chat group called 'Fight for Our Inheritance'.[I've obtained proof of Dean's mental illnesses. We have a high chance of winning with this.] Natalie typed.[You are good at this, Natalie. I didn't even think of that before.] Violet replied.[When will the lawsuit begin? I can't wait to take back my share from Sebastian!] Dean's second daughter, Christine, commented.[The lawyer's letter has been sent to Sebastian, and everything will follow the usual procedures. Make sure that you listen to me, and I guarantee that you will get more than you wished for.][I will.] Violet replied.[So will I.] Christine agreed.After the conversation in the group, Violet and the other Jennings siblings talked amongst themselves in

Though none of them felt deeply connected to their father, and they had all resented him for how cruel he was when he was alive, they started to remember the good things about him after his death. At the very least, Dean was kind and generous with them when they were younger."Sebastian, I heard that Dad had mental issues. I think that's the main reason why he didn't leave any of us anything. We only started working with Natalie because we had no other way. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't even call us out to talk," Violet said.Her intention was clear: she wanted to show Sebastian all the leverage they had so as to let him know that he would lose if he did not offer them a better deal."I don't know if Dad was mentally ill. He wouldn't have told me even if he was," Sebastian said calmly. "I brought the lawyers here today to run a logical analysis on how much you would get if you won. If you don't trust my lawyers, you can call the ones that you trust here right now."I've called

When the lawsuit officially began, Dean's children's words were the most important aspect of their case, and Natalie had to make sure that she discussed the details with the lawyer.After making her coffee, she went into the kitchen to make her breakfast.She had bought a loaf of bread the night before, so she only needed to fry an egg and some ham.She had moved back to her own apartment two days ago.Technically, she had officially moved back in the night before, as the apartment had stank of mold when she had returned on the first day, so she had had to hire cleaners to clean the place.Her life was slowly getting back on track. She would not be in any danger, so long as she stayed out of Elliot and Avery's way. Once they won the lawsuit, she would get her share and could do whatever she wanted.The thought that she could finally recover from her failure felt surreal.Her mother had been messaging her for the past few days, worried that Natalie would be in danger again.
