"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

"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

Sebastian politely said, "Hey sis, I haven't received any concrete news of Dad's death yet. When or if I receive any news, I'll surely let everyone in the family group know"Sebastian's sister said, "That's great. We're all sad about Dad's demise.""Who told you that something has happened to Dad?" Sebastian asked."The old mansion told us that Dad could not be contacted. Sebastian, I was waiting for you to contact all of us, but you did not—""I'm not trying to hide it, but we haven't been able to contact Dad for only a day. I'm not sure what has happened to him. How could I just simply say that something has happened to him? What if he returns?" Sebastian said. "If he returns and sees us thinking he was dead, he would only be furious.""Okay, then. I thought you would have some concrete news!""I don't.""Alright. Sebastian, I'm just prying now. Do you know the contents of Dad's will?" His sisters knew that Sebastian was Dean's heir, and they envied him for it. They also knew

Elliot walked over to Avery. He noticed the dressing gown on the sofa and immediately picked it up to have a look.He slid his arms through the sleeves, trying it out for size."It looks good on you." Avery straightened the dressing gown and tied the belt around his waist.Lilith secretly sighed. There was nothing she could do about them."Just wear it! Anyway, even if you start wearing it now, it'll still be fine come Christmas," Lilith said with a smile."Lilith, you overestimate your brother. He has never worn out his clothes." Avery did not catch Lilith's Christmas comment. After all, clothes were meant to be worn."I know Elliot has a lot of clothes," Lilith said. "Ben has a lot of clothes too. I asked him why does he have this many clothes, and he told me that the amount of clothes he has is nothing when compared to the amount of clothes Elliot has.""Hmm, Elliot likes to dress up more," Avery teased before asking, "Lilith, you came over so early. You surely haven't had

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
