Mike walked out and ran into Hayden. The two headed to the dining room without a word.
"Your mom said she's fine, but her face is as pale as a ghost, so she must have lost quite a lot of blood," Mike whispered.
"lI won't let that old twat live!" said Hayden through gritted teeth as his expression grew dark.
"We will need to plan it out carefully because he still has your father. We are in a passive position at the moment," Mike said. "Your
dad is your mom's main concern right now. We will need to find out where Elliot is and find a way to get him out. Once he is out, we
are free to do whatever we want with Dean Jennings."
In the bedroom, Avery wiped herself dry and changed into a set of loose pajamas, before stepping out of the bathroom.
Her phone started ringing, so she went to the nightstand to pick up her phone, only to realize that Dean was calling.
She took a deep breath and answered.
"Miss Tate, are you okay? | heard that Bobby went mad and stabbed you. That beast! He's gone mad!" Dean cursed while
apologizing to her. "I'm so sorry, Miss Tate. Are you alright? Where are you now? Can | csee you?"
"I'm fine, Mr. Jennings. It's late, so just stay hand rest!" Avery sat down by the bed calmly.
"I will pay you a visit tomorrow. Where do you stay? Will it be okay for you to share the address with me? | do feel awful about this.
Sebastian is extremely upset about it, too. He wanted to call you, but | figured that | should be the one to call to extend my
apology to you," he said earnestly.
Avery hung up after giving her address to Dean.
She realized that Dean's shamelessness might have been an important component of his success.
