Avery was in a daze, and her chest tightened. "What way?" "Guess it yourself." Sebastian kept her guessing. "Avery, I won't tell you everything about the Jennings family anymore. You should understand that my fate is inextricably linked with my family's.
"Hmm. You're the second son of the Jennings family, after all. I understand that you're on your father's side." "I feel like you're mocking me." "Sebastian, don't overthink this. I'm not thinking that. Even if you say that you're indifferent toward your father, blood is thicker than water, after all. You're also your family's only heir. Most people would make the sdecision you are," said Avery very calmly, while secretly thinking about what bargaining chip Dean had obtained now.

"Hmm... Sebastian, you're not the sas your father. If you're the person to take over the Jennings family in the future, I believe you won't be like your father..." "My father is not going to die just yet." Sebastian understood what she was implying.
She was hoping that the bargaining chip possessed by the Jennings family was one that would not harm her or Elliot.
If Sebastian was the one in control of the Jennings family, he would naturally not hurt them. However, at the moment, Dean was the head of the house.
"How did he find Angela's research findings? Since Angela doesn't love him, she probably wouldn't have left her things behind for him." Avery told him what she had guessed.
"It wasn't left behind by Angela. Aren't you overlooking one issue? That technology was not developed by Angela alone. She had a team back then. Now, my father has found the members of that team." Initially, Sebastian was not planning on making this clear to her. However, as he spoke with her, he subconsciously opened himself up to her.
"I see." Avery had indeed overlooked that issue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had forgotten that the people on the team had more or less known about this technology.
Angela's laboratory had been funded by Dean back then, so, of course, it was easy for him to find the other members of the team.
"Avery, I can't help you this time." Sebastian noticed that she did not hang up the phone nor did she say anything, so he knew that she must have been feeling down. "You've taken 2.1 billion away from ust family. If my father hadn't thought of this method, our family would most probably be bankrupt. Even if my father has done sshameful things, whatever you guys did was nothing to be proud of either." "Sebastian, the grudge between your family and us did not start when we cheated your father out of his money. It started when your father wanted to take away Tate Industries and Dream Maker. It's not an exaggeration to say that your father might have even wanted to take away Sterling Group. I believe you know about your father's wild ambitions. If your father was not such a bully, why would we seek revenge on him?" "I know... I know that it's my father who first provoked you. However, I still can't watch the Jennings family go bankrupt. I won't be sad if my father dies, but I can't accept it if the Jennings family goes bankrupt." "Sebastian, I didn't ask you to do anything for me. I'm already very thankful that you toldabout his information in advance," said Avery, and then another call cin.
She looked at her phone and saw a familiar name.
It was Eric who was calling.
Eric has gotten increasingly popular in the past couple of years, so his schedule was getting more and more packed. He would look for her occasionally, but it would just be for a quick meet-up or lunch before he left. He had made a comeback after he had had his surgery a few years ago. The work that he had accepted after making his comeback had been more relaxed and easy than before, out of consideration for his health. Later, when his health was somewhat better, the intensity of his work increased as well.
She had chatted with him once, and he had said that his body had already recovered to a normal state, so he did not want to give up what he loved so deeply while he still had the passion for it.
