NovelApp"You didn't know? Dean Jennings, that's karma for you! Hahaha!" The woman burst into laughter. "It's so unfair that you get to live this long!" "So it's Natalie... It's her..." he hissed. A bitter smile split his face. He would not be in such misery if he had died at the hands of anyone else.
"That traitor!" he thought. He had yet to find her and kill her, and in the end, he ended up in her trap.
At nine in the morning, Sebastian arrived at the Jennings' mansion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian had told his father the night before that he had wanted to accompany him when he went to meet Holly, but Dean had rejected his son's suggestion, as he thought that Sebastian would only get in his way.
Sebastian had no choice but to give up.
Wanting to know how the negotiations went, he waited for his father to return. Though he knew that Dean would not bring Ivy to his own mansion once he found her, seeing a photo of Ivy would be good enough.
Sebastian did not know if Ivy looked more like Elliot or Avery, nor did he know where Dean would hide Ivy; he also did not know if his father would grow overconfident in his abilities and wind up committing even more heinous crimes.
Unable to sleep the night before, Sebastian was pessimistic about the outcof the meeting.
Even if Dean had managed to find Ivy, everything would end the way he expected.
Elliot and Avery were powerful and would not let the Jennings family live after they learned of what Dean had done.
Elliot was the type of man who would rather die than have his authority challenged in such a way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Your father woke up at five this morning." The servant who looked after Dean made Sebastian a cup of tea. "He would usually sleep until nine or ten! He seemed quite energetic this morning, though!" "What tdid he leave?" Sebastian asked.
"A little past six," the servant said. "The sky wasn't even bright yet, and we hadn't even cleared the snow out of the driveway! I don't know why he left that early. I don't think anyone would want to meet with him that early!" "He must have his own plans. Maybe the meeting spot is quite far away!" Sebastian sat down and sipped on his tea. "By the way, did you spot any suspicious vehicles or people around the property?" The servant shook his head. "It's so cold out there, so I didn't pay much attention to what's going on outside. The bodyguards stationed outside didn't say anything, so I suppose there was no one there? Why are you asking, Mr. Jennings?" "My dad went to look for Elliot and Avery's lost daughter, and they know about it, so they are definitely going to have someone keep an eye on us," he said, worry lacing his voice. "If there are people around, my dad should probably move." "Where to? Your father can't sit still and has to work every single day. The only way he can hide from Elliot is for him to stop working and stay away from everyone he knows. The servant sighed. "Sebastian, a man your father's age should have retired long ago, but he just insists on working." "It's my fault. If I had the ability to strengthen the family, he wouldn't have to exhaust himself like this," Sebastian said bitterly.
"Don't say that, Sebastian. You are capable. It's just... your father wants to do more than preserve the family legacy," said the servant. "He might not be kind to you, but don't take it personally. He is old now..." The servant did not finish his sentence, but what he meant was clear.
"Has my dad's condition worsened that much after Angela's death?" Sebastian asked.
The servant glanced around to make sure there was no one around before whispering, "Yes. All the medicine Angela left for your father is gone don't know what she had been feeding him, but ever since he stopped taking the medicine, he is not as energetic as before, and he can no longer sleep through the night." "He looks the sto me," Sebastian said.
"It's different. He is less short-tempered when Angela was around." "Yeah." He finished his tea and set the cup aside, before staring into the distance.
