Chapter 2144
In the Bridgedale branch of Tate Industries, the president's secretary notified all management level employees to gather in the meeting room as soon as the office opened.Most of the employees in the branch were hired by Natalie, and she was the most powerful figure they had ever been in contact with, which was why everyone was shocked when Chad informed them that Natalie had resigned."Why would Ms. Jennings resign?""She was just fine two days ago. We even discussed the sales in the fourth quarter... This is so out of the blue."...Chad listened to everyone quietly, before proceeding to explain, "Due to personal reasons, Natalie Jennings has left Tate Industries. As for her future plans, you are welcome to ask her about it in private. From now on, she has nothing to do with Tate Industries.""Chad, that's not the real reason, right? You don't need to make excuses. If you won't tell us why she really left, she definitely won't dare to tell us anything.""You fired Natalie, did

This meant that this so-called relative was not someone they knew.Shortly after, Chad strode back in and informed Elliot, "Mr. Foster, this woman claims to be Peter White's wife. Do you remember Peter? He's your half-brother."Elliot's expression instantly darkened at the mention of that name.He knew that Peter had been in Bridgedale the entire time. Peter was hardly a capable man, yet he was more ambitious than anyone he knew."Why would his wife come looking for me?" Elliot didn't want to meet with the woman."To ask for money," Chad said. "She said that Peter had tried running a business and failed, and he is now in enormous debt. He is missing and the loan shark has come for her. She can't pay the debt, so she has come to ask you for help.""How much does she want?" Elliot stood up."I didn't ask. Should I go and ask her?""Bring her here. I'll ask her myself.""Okay." Chad left the meeting room and brought Peter's wife back, before leaving the room immediately after.P

"What are you talking about? What daughter?" Since the old man had an accent, the receptionist was even more impatient.At that moment, a guard walked over to check on the situation."I think he is most likely here to ask for blackmail money! He said that his daughter got him to come and look for Mr. Foster. How could our boss know such a person like him? He doesn't even know how to lie properly. I'm guessing he wants to kiss up to our boss!" The receptionist was in a bad mood. "This morning, there was also another lady that claims to be Mr. Foster's relative, so I already informed them about her. Turns out, that lady wanted to ask Mr. Foster for money!"The receptionist said with a sigh, "My manager privately gave me an earful! He said to not simply report anything in the future. If someone were to be truly Mr. Foster's relative, how could they not have his phone number?"The guard thought that what she said made sense. It was better to not create trouble. They were ordinary peopl

"Okay." The receptionist did not expect Chad to be so meticulous.Chad went to the surveillance room to check on the footage. He took a photo with his phone and sent it to Elliot.The old man looked extremely foreign to Chad. They most probably had not met each other before.Elliot received Chad's photo. After looking at it for a while. He replied with a question mark.Chad: [Mr. Foster, do you know this man? He came looking for you at the office just now.]Elliot tapped into the photo and zoomed in once more. Seeing the man's face, he replied, [I don't know him. Why is he looking for me?]Chad: [The receptionist said that he has a strong accent. He should be a foreigner. He said that his daughter has something to say to you.]Elliot: [I don't know him. I don't know his daughter either. I have no female friends in Bridgedale.]Chad: [Alright. I'll just ignore him.]At the hospital, Dean felt more alive after the drip. He got out of bed and paced around for a little while.Per
Chapter 2148
Dean's face darkened sinisterly! "Mary, previously, a shocking scandal about my family was released. You must have heard of it, right?" Dean intimidated her. "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"Mary had just finished university. She had not witnessed the dangerous part of society before. How could she bear Dean's cruel tactics?It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.However, she was not afraid of what Dean would do to her. She was afraid of death. She was, after all, different from Angela.Angela had lived for a long time. She had seen everything she had wanted to see. However, Mary's life was just beginning, yet it had to end already."Uncle Dean, before my mom died, she talked to me for a while." Mary was silent for a while before saying, "She said she had already achieved what she wanted to achieve. She had no regrets in this life. The importance of life is not in its length, but in how well you live it. She felt that if she were to continue living

Dean looked at his phone and saw that it was a call from his lawyer. He glared at Mary, who was still sitting in the chair. Mary's eyes were already closed. He did not know if she had died yet or not. However, she was already dead to him."Take her away! How unlucky!" Dean said through gritted teeth to his assistant."Okay! I'll get people to take her away!" The assistant left the ward and called two bodyguards over to take Mary out.Dean sat on the bed and answered the call. "Has Natalie gotten the contract?""Mr. Jennings, I can't contact Natalie," the lawyer said. "She had told me this morning that once we send the money over, she will be able to get the transfer agreement for Tate Industries by this afternoon, but after we gave her the money, she began to ignore us."This was a blow to Dean. He became dizzy and fell onto the bed."W-Where is she?" Dean clutched his forehead while panting."She said that she went to Tate Industries to deal with something. I just got off the

Avery said, "There is no such force. If there is any force, it will be from ourselves." She paused for a while before saying, "Mary Hills is dead?""Yes, she poisoned herself," Sebastian replied. "She consumed the same poison as Angela. Mother and daughter have long expected this outcome, so they prepared beforehand."Avery's heart constricted a little. Why did things turn out this way? Dean only wanted Angela's resurrection treatment. If he got what he wanted, logically speaking, he would not have killed Mary. Why did Mary kill herself too?"Sebastian, before Mary killed herself, did she give your father Angela's things?" Avery asked."I don't think so. I was not there. When I arrived, Mary was already dead." Sebastian stood outside the ward. His expressions were serious. "I don't think my father has two-point-one billion dollars with him. He must have surely borrowed money. If he can't get this money back, I think his blood pressure won't ever come down.""Are you worried th

"Now we no longer need to deal with Natalie. Dean hates Natalie a lot right now. As long as Dean found Natalie, she would surely be tortured," Elliot analyzed the situation for Avery."Elliot, why didn't you tell me this earlier?""Because I'm not sure if Natalie would take the bait or not," Elliot explained. "She only transferred the money to me this morning. I planned to tell you when we met at night.""Hmm. How did you get her to take the bait?""When you told me that she was the one behind the incident in Ylore, I got someone to look for her parents. Even if Angela did not die, I would still seek revenge on Natalie," Elliot said slowly. "But she did not take the bait not completely because of her parents in Aryadelle. From the moment she failed to get rid of us, she had nowhere to run anymore.""Where are you right now?" Avery listened to Elliot's methodical tone, and she felt as if Elliot from the past had returned. The familiar sense of security made her let out a sigh of re
