Chapter 2120
Hayden could feel that Elliot's gaze was bold and direct. It made him feel uneasy. His gaze was usually much more reserved,"My mom will not agree to you going out for a social function." Hayden looked at him directly, trying to stop him from going out.If his mother woke up and saw that Elliot was not home, she would surely worry."Your mother supports my work." Elliot had not expected him to say anything. He was rather surprised, but he was not going to change his mind. "Hayden, your mother has rarely called Robert and Layla, so you have to call them often.""Elliot, what are you doing? Why are you asking Hayden to do it? Can't you do it? Don't you have a phone now?" Mike found his words strange. "Did you fight with Avery? If not, why is Avery drunk? She doesn't like to drink.""Mike, go with her to the wedding tomorrow!" Elliot looked at Mike and said, "It would be safer with another person there with her."Mike was speechless."I have already eaten, you two should go and eat

Elliot ordered two bottles of red wine. He and Chad each took a bottle.From what Chad knew about Elliot, he would surely be unable to finish an entire bottle of red wine.If he downed the entire bottle, he would surely pass out cold like Avery.Chad drank a glass of wine down. With the help of alcohol, he was emboldened."Mr. Foster, when you came out of Avery's house tonight, you looked at Hayden for quite a bit. Your gaze was especially direct," Chad said what was on his mind. "It was as if you wanted to eat him whole. No wonder Hayden said something to you.""I would never dare to look at his face this way usually. I have never seen his face so clearly and in such detail before." Elliot lowered his gaze, looking at the red liquid in his glass. "But I saw it clearly today. He is starting to look a lot like me.""Yes! Hayden is just like a clone of you. Not only does he look like you, but his temper is also quite like yours. Don't think that he looks icy. He has a burning fire
Chapter 2122
At the banquet hall, Angela and Dean raised their glasses to the guests. Dean was extremely happy and in good spirits that day. However, even if he was in good spirits, after a few rounds of alcohol, his body could not take it in the end.Angela helped him to the side and looked at the time."Dean, it's almost eleven at night. Get the bodyguard to send you back to rest. We have our wedding tomorrow. You have to conserve your energy," Angela gently advised. "I'll be here with the guests a little bit longer. I'll be back latest by midnight."Dean thought of the wedding the next day. How he wished to be younger, then he would be able to stay up all night drinking, but like everyone else, he too succumbed to age. "Okay! Thank you. It's already so late yet you still have to stay here to host guests…""Dean, I'm very happy today. Much happier than you can imagine." Angela's gaze was spirited. "I promise it won't affect the wedding tomorrow."Dean saw her insistence and could only le

"Mainly because Chad is with him, so I didn't worry that much," Mike added."A social function?" Avery muttered. She was still worried, so she asked, "What social function? Where is it?""I don't know. I wanted to ask, too, but Chad won't tell me. After all, this is their work. How could they tell me." Mike shrugged. "Why don't you call Elliot and ask him?"Mike reminded her. She immediately headed back to her room."Avery, are you sober? Does your head hurt? Do you want to drink something? The nanny has made a sobering drink for you. It's in the thermos. I'll go get it for you!" Mike chased after her and said this before heading to the kitchen to get it for her.Avery quickly returned to her room and picked up her phone. She found Elliot's contact and called him.At the presidential suite of the hotel, Chad was in the living room when he heard Elliot's phone ring. He immediately went to the bedroom and picked Elliot's phone up.When he saw that it was a call from Avery, he answ

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

Dean hung up. With the help of the servants, he washed up."Sir, Ma'am might not be up yet," the servant consoled Dean."I guess so too. She usually sleeps quite a lot." Dean felt much better thinking that.After washing up, the servants sent breakfast to Dean's room.Dean was having breakfast while accepting phone calls from his friends wishing him well.After breakfast, the bodyguard called him."Mr. Jennings, I'm outside Angela's house now. I pressed the doorbell a few times, but no one opened the door. I can't get through her phone, too. What should I do now?" The bodyguard was a little worried."No one opened the door?" Dean gasped and said without thinking, "Kick the door down! It's her wedding day! She might have overslept!"Dean did not allow anything to go wrong on the wedding that day, not even being late! Dean did not hang up, so he heard the bodyguard fire his gun. After the door had been kicked down, the bodyguard quickly entered."Ma'am!" the bodyguard yelled.

"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

Angela was beaming at her at the time. Avery had thought that Angela was mocking her, but based on what had happened, she realized that that might not be the case."Avery, why aren't you saying anything?" Sebastian asked. "This is probably a good thing, right? With her gone, she won't be marrying my dad and so my dad's plan has gone down the gutter."Avery hummed in response. "It's good news, but where is she? Where do you think she is? Has she been living with your dad all these years?""Yeah, it's been quite long. She moved in at first to take care of my dad, and then the two said they were getting married. She isn't in that blue building she owns as well. My dad has sent out all his men to look for her, but no one knows where she is.""Why would she just disappear? If she really doesn't want to marry your dad, she could have refused him. Why would she agree to marry him, only to run from the wedding? It's like it's all just a game for her," Avery said dazedly."She's kind of cr
