"I was just telling Sebastian about this earlier! I thought you were planning to have fun on your own and not take me with you. It looks like my thinking was too narrow! I'll down three drinks later as my punishment!"…As Sebastian watched his father sit at a table harmoniously next to Stanley, he started thinking quickly.His father looked like he was really happy.What exactly had he gone to do just now?What had happened? Could it be that he had gotten another bargaining chip?Sebastian quickly walked over and sat down next to his father.Since there were too many people around them at the banquet, they did not talk shop.After the banquet ended, his father and Stanley went into a private room to have a chat. Sebastian could not follow them, so he had no choice but to look for his father's bodyguard to inquire about the situation."What did you do with my father just now? Did you guys meet someone?"If his father had not gone into a private room with Stanley, he would hav

Avery was in a daze, and her chest tightened. "What way?""Guess it yourself." Sebastian kept her guessing. "Avery, I won't tell you everything about the Jennings family anymore. You should understand that my fate is inextricably linked with my family's.""Hmm. You're the second son of the Jennings family, after all. I understand that you're on your father's side.""I feel like you're mocking me.""Sebastian, don't overthink this. I'm not thinking that. Even if you say that you're indifferent toward your father, blood is thicker than water, after all. You're also your family's only heir. Most people would make the same decision you are," said Avery very calmly, while secretly thinking about what bargaining chip Dean had obtained now."I also want to rely on myself to live just like you and Elliot, but reality is just too bleak. If I were to leave the Jennings family, I don't know how I would live.""Hmm… Sebastian, you're not the same as your father. If you're the person to take

Hanging up on Sebastian, Avery picked up Eric's call."Avery, you're in Bridgedale now, right? Have you eaten? I'll buy you a meal." Eric was currently standing barefoot on a soft wool rug by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to her.He had reached Bridgedale a short while ago. The moment he had free time, he thought of asking her out."I've already eaten. Are you here for work or on a holiday?" Avery asked."Holiday. I could use up to two years' worth of holidays. I could have at least two months off." Eric chuckled happily. "I initially did not want to come over, but, since you're here, I did.""But I'm busy," Avery said truthfully. "I'm sure you've heard about Elliot's incident?""Hmm… I've heard about it. I even asked doctors that I'm close to about it. They told me that Elliot's incident is absurd. It's so absurd, they could hire playwrights to write it into a film."Avery could not help but smile. "It is indeed quite absurd, but that special device is indeed in Elliot's

"But I have a strong feeling that he is a man." Eric told Avery his feelings. He did not have any close friends he could talk to, so he had been keeping his worries bottled up this whole time."Why?" Avery felt that his parents would not have lied to him."I've gotten that impression from chatting with him.""If you two are chatting, then just ask her directly the next time. It's such an important issue, you should get to the bottom of it," Avery suggested. Then, she asked, "Does she know your identity?"Eric hesitated for a while before replying, "I don't think so. My parents introduced me as a rather unknown broadcaster.""Your parents sure are cautious!" Avery chuckled and said, "They only have you as a son. I'm sure they wouldn't introduce a man to you.""My parents can be sensible at times, but sometimes also illogical. Do you know how they introduced this girl to me?" Eric turned to the small bar by his side and picked up a glass of water. He drank some water. "They felt th

The girl stood in the sunlight, wearing a bright smile. She had glasses on, but her features were pleasant to look at. Her smile was extremely friendly. She gave off a very docile feeling.Avery looked at the photo and liked her a lot, too.Then, Eric sent her the profile picture from the girl's social media. The girl's profile picture was a photo of a buff man taken at a gym. Side by side, the two photos strongly juxtaposed each other. Avery could not help but smile. No wonder Eric was starting to doubt everything in life. If she were him, she would have doubted her life too.…At three in the afternoon, Dean finished his chat with Stanley and came out of the room.Sebastian immediately went forward and held onto his father's arm."Sebastian, don't take the things I told you just now to heart. I was just worried that you did not care about anything and would not help your father." Stanley looked like he was in a good mood, so his attitude toward Sebastian was extremely warm an

"Sebastian, sometimes the mere concept of something is enough to earn you a fortune. I don't actually need them to replicate Angela's reach completely. As long as they manage to recreate a close-enough shell of what it actually is, we can sell it." Dean smiled triumphantly."So how did the meeting go with Angela's team, then? What did they say?" Sebastian's heart sank. If the team had comprehended Angela's research fully, Dean would have the power to blackmail Avery and Elliot; but if they weren't fully familiarized with how the device worked, Dean would not be able to control the two."Only one of them came today and I just had a brief talk with him." Dean leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. "He said that Angela had only exposed each of them to different parts of the whole research so we won't succeed unless we get everyone in that team on board.""I knew Angela would not let anyone near the core information of her research." Sebastian quietly sighed a breath of relief, k

If he was Natalie, he would be so devastated that he would wish to disappear from the world."I don't care if she is having a hard time. I am bringing her back here!" Dean narrowed his eyes dangerously. "If there's something I hate most in my life, it is to be duped! Natalie is afraid of Elliot, so she helped him trick me. She probably thinks that I won't kill her because I'm her father! Haha!"Based on what Dean had said, Sebastian already knew that once Natalie was caught, she would not live.In the evening, Oliver Raven was on the phone in the living room of his apartment.Oliver Raven was one of the members of Angela's research team. When the research was concluded, Angela paid each of the members a handsome amount of money before dismissing the team. Every member had signed a contract prior to entering the research, which stated that they were not to work in the same field within three years after the project had ended.One of the members, Liam West had attended Angela's fune

A message notification popped up on Eric's phone.[A message received from 'Big N'.]Eric came out of the shower and heard the notification while he was drying his hair. He reached out for his phone and his lips twitched when he saw the word 'Big N'.What kind of person would name themselves 'Big N' when they were being set up by relatives?His fingers glided on the screen of his phone and typed. [No.][No, what? You are not in Bridgedale?] She replied.[I'm in Bridgedale, but not for you.][Oh, why then? Work? Travel? What do you usually film on your vlog? What's your account name? I want to check it out. *Drooling*]When Eric saw the drooling emoji in the message, he immediately imagined a greasy old man before him. He took a deep breath and turned to pour himself a glass of water to calm down.He thought back to what Avery had said to him earlier that day and summoned up the courage to reply. [Are you a man or a woman? My parents said you are a girl, but I don't really feel
