Half an hour later, Mike had gathered a group of people and was getting ready to head to MediLove Pharmaceutical with Avery. Just
then, Avery received a call from Dean.
Avery answered the call right away.
"Avery, | heard that you found evidence that proves we have Elliot Foster. Let's hear it, then?"
Dean's casual tone provoked Avery and she immediately said, "You took Elliot from Ylore and brought him here to Bridgedale and
kept him in Angela's office. | found the foldable bed Elliot used in Angela's office. Dean Jennings, what do you have to say for
yourself?"

"Oh... And how would you know that the bed belonged to Elliot?" Dean was not sure how they got exposed.
"The search dogs sniffed out Elliot's scent from the bed. Angela isn't answering her phone. Does she intend on having you handle
everything?" Avery asked. "You have one day. If you don't return Elliot tobefore dark, | will kill you and Angela. I'll do whatever
it takes! You can tryif you aren't afraid of dying!"
Naturally, Dean feared death and he could sense the malicious rage in Avery's tone. His voice softened as he said, "Letjust tell
you the truth, Avery. | can't reach Angela as well. The wedding dress just cin and she was supposed to ctry it on, but she
won't answer her phone."
"What are you saying?!"
"I'm saying that she's missing. She did kidnap Elliot Foster, but | have nothing to do with it." Dean immediately placed the blame
on Angela. "Back in Ylore, Angela was the one who snuck Elliot onto my private jet. | didn't find out about it until we landed in
Bridgedale. She toldto stay out of it, or she would stop supplyingwith my medication." 3
Avery was slightly taken by surprise and scowled.
"You probably already know that I've invested in Angela's company. | invested in it in exchange for her cooperation. She creates
medication that slows my aging." Dean played the victim and completely excused his participation in the kidnapping. "Why would |
kidnap Elliot? | don't like men
"Where is she?!" Avery's head throbbed with pain. She had thought that she found the lead and would soon be able to rescue Elliot.
She had not expected Angela to go missing, and without Angela, she had no hope in finding Elliot.

"I told you already. | can't reach her. We are about to get married and I'm panicking, too!" Dean blurted out.' Go find Angela, Avery!
If you manage to find her, letknow right away." "Dean Jennings! You old twat!" Avery cursed. "Tell me, how was Elliot when you
last saw him?! Is he alive? What does Angela want with him? Has she hurt him? Is he doing okay?!"
Avery desperately wanted to know the answers to these questions. Even if she could not see Elliot, she wanted to hear that he was
alive at the very least.
"You've met Angela in person, Avery. Do you really think that she's the kind of person who would hurt him? | thought you said your
professor complimented her before. Do you not believe what your professor said?" Dean asked sharply and sighed. "I have nothing
else to say because | don't really know what's going on. All | can tell you is that once you find Angela, you might not resent her so
much."
