Elliot's bodyguard waited until two in the morning, yet he still did not see Angela come out. He felt that something was strange.After all, Angela was about sixty-something years old. How could a person at that age stay up so late at night?Moreover, she had her wedding the next day. It was impossible for her to stay up late.Thus, Elliot's bodyguard went into the hotel to ask and see if Angela's celebration banquet had ended.The hotel staff told him that it had ended at midnight. It had been two hours since the banquet ended.Elliot's bodyguard did not know what went wrong. He was bewildered.Chad believed that the bodyguard did not fall asleep, but something must have gone wrong somewhere."She is either still in the hotel or she must have left from another exit," Chad calmly analyzed. "Her wedding is tomorrow. She must have returned to the Jennings.""Then I'll go there and keep an eye on her.""I'm afraid you don't have a good opportunity to kidnap her already," Chad was

"I don't think the wedding is happening anytime soon," the bodyguard mocked as he watched the entire Jennings family erupt into chaos. "I suppose there's no point for me to stay here any longer.""Don't be so sure yet," Chad immediately said. "Dean must have his men searching for Angela already. He is more powerful than us here in Bridgedale, so you should stay here and see if they find her in the end. It's still better than going to search for Angela on your own.""You have a point, Chad," the bodyguard said, before hanging up.Chad checked the time and noticed that it was only seven in the morning.Elliot was probably still asleep.He went toward the master bedroom and opened the door slightly to look inside; as expected, Elliot was still asleep.Elliot had drunk too much the night before and Chad did not think that he would be able to wake up until noon.Chad, too, had finished a whole bottle of red wine on his own, but he felt no other discomfort apart from the mild headache

Amelia quieted down."What aren't you two telling me?" Avery questioned. "Do you two know each other? How? Tell me!"Amelia was confused. "Didn't you say you are together? I thought you already knew.""We didn't break up, but he's not home right now. He went out last night and said he will be back in two days," Avery explained.Amelia was not anticipating this. Elliot would be furious if he found out that she had accidentally let their secret slip to Avery and would definitely not ask for her help with the surgery."Since there's no point hiding now, I will just tell you! He asked me to perform surgery on him today to take that device out of his brain," Amelia explained after readjusting herself. "Avery, I didn't contact him. He was the one who approached me.""Is he trying to die?""Of course, not! He just doesn't want to live under someone else's control any longer, nor does he want to watch while you suffer," she said. "Now that you know, you should go and talk to him!"Aver

"Besides, my dad will be looking for Mary as well. He won't stop," Sebastian said. "Come to think of it, Angela had it all planned out right from the beginning! She has been weaving this gigantic web this whole time! She had known my dad for years, and still, she had never allowed us to meet Mary."Avery listened to him seriously while trying to figure out a way to find Mary."None of us know what she looks like, so it's difficult to find her. My dad has never paid much attention to Mary because she was adopted. Judging from the current situation, I think Angela had handed everything she had over to Mary." Sebastian came to a sudden realization. "My dad thought he outsmarted everyone, but he had lost to Angela right from the start.""Sebastian, let me know right away if your dad finds Mary." Avery paused for a moment, before continuing, "I didn't expect Angela to end her life like that. She didn't give anyone a chance to react.""You are panicking, aren't you? Now that Angela is de

Sebastian stared at the trembling wrinkles on Dean's face and asked, "Dad, did Aunt Angela really not say anything to you before she died?""Nothing at all! Do you really think I would let the wedding go on if she had told me about this? I can't take the humiliation!" Dean's blood pressure was about to rise again."Don't get mad, Dad. Angela is already dead. You need to take care of yourself," Sebastian said. "Just stay in the hospital until you recover. I've sent someone over to the wedding venue to take care of things. We will just treat it as your birthday celebration for this year.""Sebastian, are you laughing at me?" Dean forcefully suppressed his anger. He had always been proud, and he knew just how discomfited he looked more than anyone. He did not want anyone to see him like this."Why would I laugh at you, Dad? I am a member of the Jennings family, and I wish for nothing more but for our family to grow more powerful, just like you.""Hahaha! Angela had a sweet tongue, to
