"I never thought that she was living under our very noses, but if she does not know anything about Ivy and her whereabouts, she is no use to us either." Sebastian thought back to how Avery viewed him, and he grew upset. "Who would have thought that Holly Blanche knew everything.""This person is no ordinary person. She even survived Elliot and Avery without giving in to their demands…" Dean looked at Natalie's phone and narrowed his sly eyes. "Natalie could easily get her over to her side. Should I say that Natalie has some good tricks up her sleeves or that Holly has no vision? If I were her, I would surely pick Elliot.""Dad, maybe Holly feels Natalie to be more trustworthy," Sebastian said. "Right now, the most important thing is to contact Holly.""Sebastian, handle this. Take Natalie's phone and meet up with Holly. Whatever Natalie is paying her, we can double it. We have to get her on our side." Dean was excited when he said that. "If we can locate Ivy and get to her before E

After Avery selected the tea, she turned to Elliot, "Elliot, do you know what language this is? It seems like it's in Italian.""You're right. It is Italian."Avery heard the certainty behind his answer and said, "You understand Italian?""I've learned a little in the past, but I haven't used it for many years. I have forgotten most of it already." Elliot placed the menu in front of Hayden so that he might choose what he wanted. "Why did you learn Italian? I thought you majored in architecture?" Avery was shocked to find out that he knew Italian. She had seen his bookshelf, and there were many foreign books in their original languages, but she had thought that he had bought those books just to complete his collection and for superficial reasons. She did not think he understood what they meant. "Back then, it was because I liked an Italian architect, so I bought her book. Since I didn't want to read a translated version of the book, I had to learn Italian," Elliot said.Hayden

"Hayden, I have to admit that you are better than me." Using milk as a replacement for wine, Elliot clinked his glass against Hayden’s.Avery knew that Hayden was weak to compliments. If Elliot were to act submissive and shower Hayden with compliments, Hayden would not be able to react defensively. "You are you, and I am me. We don't have to compete with one another." Hayden used to be fixated on who was the better out of the two of them, but now that he had his own dreams and goals, he no longer cared."You are right, Hayden. It doesn't matter who is better. I'm proud of the two of you," Avery said and reached for her glass of milk when her phone started to ring.It was a call from Mike, and she could already guess what he wanted to say.Being bullied by Chad and Ben on social media, he was definitely calling Avery to have her side with him.Avery took a sip of milk and answered the call."Avery, did Hayden and Elliot make peace?" Mike asked in disbelief."Yeah. Do you want t

Sebastian shook his head without hesitation."Is my cigarette too cheap for the likes of you?" The woman pulled out a cigarette and reached into her pocket, searching for her lighter.Once she found it, Sebastian leaned in with his own cigarette, and the woman lit it for him right away."I told you we are meeting at a park and you showed up wearing a trench coat. You had it coming." The woman felt no sympathy for him, and lit her own cigarette, before pulling her mask and scarf down to smoke.That was when Sebastian finally had a clear look at her face.He had studied Holly's photo before coming. His father had found a photo of Holly. It had been taken when she had been serving her sentence in Ylore Prison. It had been a clear photo, and Sebastian was certain that the woman before him did not look anything like the woman in the photo. "Are you really Holly Blanche?" he asked in shock as he took out his phone to find the photo of Holly. Once he found it, he stared at the photo an

"Dad, I will go arrange that meeting with Holly right away." Sebastian took out his phone to call Holly.It was past midnight in Aryadelle, and the friends who had come to visit Elliot had stayed until nine, so Avery was exhausted.After a shower, she unlocked her phone and saw a message from the leader of the Marshall's Award committee.The leader had informed her that after a few days of consideration and discussion, they had decided that they would withdraw Angela's name, but they could not tell the public that Angela had faked the technology. Most people would think that Angela had done something wrong for the committee to announce that she was no longer the winner, and so long as the public did not question the credibility of the Marshall's Award, everything would be fine, and they could just have Angela take the blame. Avery gasped at the message in shock. To make sure that she had read it correctly, she went back into the bathroom to wash her face, and when she realized she
