She had suspected Angela because they had been talking about her, but if it was not Angela, the only person that was left was Dean Jennings.
Chills ran down Avery's spine at the thought, but she felt that she was closer to the truth the more she thought about the possibility.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNormal parents would never despise their children after they had been severely injured to the point that they refused to see their children. If that were true, it means that Dean did not have any love for his supposedly favorite son.
Sebastian mentioned that Avery would not be able to cure Bobby not because he doubted her ability, but because... someone would make sure that she failed.
Feeling like she was being strangled, Avery panted heavily.
Why would Dean work to disable his eldest son? If he had despised his son from the very beginning, why did he allow Bobby to manage his assets to begin with? Sebastian was too secretive for Avery to learn what had happened from him.
The next morning, Avery arrived at Dean's house with her bodyguard.
Dean lived in an area famously known as the 'rich people area' in Bridgedale, and Avery managed to gain access into the area, arriving at Dean's house with ease, which confused the butler.

In truth, she had asked for Sebastian's help to get in. She stayed up all night thinking had yet to meet with An thatso she cto pay her a visit. S "Doctor Tate, my master usually wakes up after ten, so you are here too early," the butler said.
"I met with your master yesterday. I am here for Ms. Hills," she said, before stepping into the living room and taking a seat on the couch.
The butler had never seen someone so shameless. "Ms. Hills usually comes down with the master." "I'll wait, then. I have time," she said when she spotted a womanly figure by the stairs.
Angela was walking down the stairs in her silk lingerie.
"I was wondering who was causing all this noise! So it's James' favorite pet." Angela strolled toward Avery >a' "Hello, Ms. Hills. I thought you didn't rememberand cto visit..." "Haha. I don't remember you. Dean toldthat he had hired you to treat Bobby, so I looked you up.
That's when I remembered you"et Angela scanned Avery up and down, before taking her seat on the couch lazily." You said you are here to see me. Why?" "There's something I can't seem to figure out," Avery said in confusion. "Professor Hough had mentioned multiple times how talented you are in surgery and medicine. Mr. Jennings said that you are busy with the wedding and do not both tto treat Bobby, but his condition isn't exactly an emergency. You can treat him after the wedding... so why did Mr. Jennings hire me?"
