"Are you tellingwhat to do?" Dean sneered.
"Dad, I'm just worried that this will affect our family. Avery said on the phone that she won't let Angela live, and she has all the
power Elliot had at her expense. Are you really going to go against them?" Sebastian said. "We won't stand a chance. If we already
know that we are going to lose, why are we still doing this?"
"You've overestimated yourself, Sebastian. Your brother is better than you because he believed in me, but of course, that makes
him more foolish than you are." Dean commented on his sons with contempt. "If what you foresee is the sthing as | expect, do
you really think | would go up against them? I'm seventy-three this year, boy. I've been through more than you can imagine. Are
you saying all this because you think I've lost my mind from old age?!"

"That's not it, Dad... I'm not doubting you. I'm just worried that our family would get dragged into unnecessary conflict," Sebastian
said while trying to figure out what his father meant. "Dad, if you or Aunt Angela refuse to reply to Avery's message, she is going to
storm up to our gates."
"I will reply later. I'm a bit occupied now so | don't have tfor her."
Dean seemed to be in a good mood, but Sebastian could not figure out what leverage his father held, or more precisely, what
leverage Angela had. If Angela had only kidnapped Elliot, they should not be this confident. 1
"Sebastian, you don't have to worry about this anymore. I'm giving you a new mission," Dean said after a few thoughtful moments.
"I've promised Natalie that | will help her complete the target Elliot set for her. Once she gets her hands on the shares for Tate
Industries, she will transfer them to me."
"Oh. If you two already have a deal, what do you wantto do?" Sebastian was slightly confused.
"Keep an eye on her. She's just likewhen | was younger: proud, sensitive and reckless. She is way more talented than you and
your brother. It's a shthat she's a woman. If she was a man, you ?f)>RIY> your brother would have no place in this family!"
Dean said with contempt.
Sebastian knew that this was a trick that Dean used to keep his children from getting too close to one another. He did not wish for
his children to get along, fearing that they would work together to challenge his authority in the household. Hence, he made it a
habit to say things that were meant to turn his children against one another.
Dean's method was effective and the children who grew up in the Jennings family were practically strangers.

After the call with his father, Sebastian called Avery right away. "My dad says he will call you back later, but I'm not sure when." He
paused and looked around, before lowering his voice. "He's in the office now. If you don't want to wait, you can go confront him at
the office. As for Angela, | don't know where she is."
"Thank you," Avery said, before hanging up. She turned to look at Mike and said, "We are going to MediLove Pharmaceutical."
"Are you sure?" Mike was slightly hesitant. "We can't just storm in there. That's Dean Jennings’ territory... Letjust gather some
forces."
"Sure." Avery was excited, but composed at the stime. She knew that it had all cdown to this moment to determine if
they could rescue Elliot.
