In Bridgedale, Sebastian told his father what Avery told him.
He did not like his father, and just like Natalie, he was also desperately hoping for the day his father would die.
All things aside, he was in the sboat as his father and he could not stand idly by or let anything happen to the Jennings family.
Dean's expression darkened when he heard what Sebastian had to say. He did not care if Elliot survived, but he cared about his project running
smoothly. If Avery was determined to stop him, there was nothing he could do.
Though Avery had not won the Marshall's Award in the past, she still had a lot of influence in the medical field.
"Let's stop, Dad!" Sebastian studied the ferocious look on his father's face and said, "Even if we give up on this new project, we can still earn money

"Sebastian, what exactly is your relationship with Avery? Why does she tell you everything?" Dean lit up a cigarette and inhaled deeply as he shot a
sidelong glance at his son. "Didn't you say you two are strangers? If that's the case, why would she tell you all that? She could have waited until I've
put all my money into the project, before hittinghard so that | can't recover.”
Sebastian flushed as he knew that he could not let his father know that he had given tips to Avery in the past. "She ctoasking for my help to
bring you down, but | refused,” he said calmly. "Dad, | never mentioned this to you because | know that it's my responsibility to stand by my family.
Now that she and Elliot are completely out of your control, she can't help but gloat."
"Is that right?" Dean observed Sebastian in an attempt to determine if he was telling the truth.
"Yes, Dad. If | sold you out, Avery wouldn't be under your control,” Sebastian explained. "I heard that Elliot went back to Aryadelle and did the surgery
without Avery knowing. Before she found out about it, she was still trying to figure out the mechanism of the device in his brain. Elliot is a force to
reckon with. If he doesn’t even fear death, it makes sense that he's that successful.”
"That's enough! Stop!" Dean did not want to hear about what a great man Elliot was.
However, Elliot had indeed made a gamble and won. If he was trying to survive because of the device in his head, he would have been dead by now.
To Dean, only fools would throw away their lives.
There were endless possibilities when one was alive and when they were dead, they would lose everything.
"Dad, let's just return Uncle Stanley's money to him before it's too late," Sebastian continued. "I know that you don't want to, and neither do I, but we
might as well stop it before it costs us more money."

"Sebastian, do you know how hard Stanley would be laughing at us if we do this?" With a quiver in his voice, Dean's expression darkened. "I can't
afford to be humiliated like that..."
"Letdo it, then, Dad. You can stay hand rest or go outside for a vacation. If we insist on going through with this, we are going to lose far more
when Avery inevitably comes out and proves us wrong. By then, we will be the laughing of Bridgedale.”
"Avery Tate... Oh, how | wish | could kill her!" Dean gritted his teeth. "Sebastian, do you know how to kill her? If you can kill her right now, | will state in
my will that you will inherit all that | own when | die!"
Sebastian's palms started sweating. "Dad, Avery is in Aryadelle right now and that's Elliot's territory. Even though he is still in the hospital, his
influence remains. We won't stand a chance," Sebastian said, hoping that his father would give up.
"You useless scum! You get cold feet if | send you to kill Avery, and what about Natalie? How is it that you haven't found her after all this time? Is she
a threat to you, too?!" Dean vented all his anger on his son.
