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

When Eric saw the words 'big muscles', it became increasingly difficult to view the person he was talking to as a woman. He captured the screen of their conversation and sent it to Avery, so that she could get a feeling of what their interaction was like.Avery finally understood Eric's confusion after seeing the screenshot and sent him a message. [Maybe she is a girl, but subconsciously feels like she's a boy.][Do women have 'big muscles'?] Eric replied.[They do! Go search online. People who go to the gym often have them.][Alright! She is asking me out. Should I meet with her?][Depends on you. But it's probably going to be quite difficult to explain it to your parents if you refuse to meet her, right?]Eric fell into silence thoughtfully and realized that he had to meet with this woman, or his life could never be normal again, so he immediately sent Nadia a message.[When are you free?]Nadia went through her schedule and replied after a while. [Afternoon. The day after to

Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, Elliot had rested for the whole night and sent both Robert and Layla off to school the next morning.When he arrived at Layla's school, he ran into Leah, who gasped when she saw him.Leah knew that Elliot was back but had thought that he was too weak to go outside, which was why she was surprised to see him out and about like a normal person."Mr. Foster, how are you doing? You look great," Leah said."Yeah. I feel alright so far," Elliot said, before changing the subject. "I heard that you were the one who told George that your cousin was behind what happened in Ylore. I haven't had the chance to thank you.""You are too kind, Mr. Foster. Even if it wasn't you but someone else who had fallen victim to such a trap, I would have told the truth as well. I didn't do it so you will thank me. I only did it because my conscience told me to, so you and Miss. Tate should really stop thanking me. She's already thanked me on messages multiple times," Leah said sheep
