"Mom, once I find Dean Jennings, I'll call you. It's late. I won't call you tonight," Hayden said. "Sleep early. Don't stay up for someone like him. Even if he is dead, he deserved it.' "Hmm. I'm not worried about him. His son just toldthat he couldn't find him. I thought there might be sprogress on the case." Avery only wanted to know if there was any news about Ivy. She was slightly more nervous because of Ivy.
"If there is any news about Ivy, I will immediately tell you," Hayden said.

Elliot found it strange too. "Could the woman be someone Holly sent?" "Now that you mentioned it, it might be, but even if Dean is meeting with Holly, he should still be able to answer his phone, right?" Avery asked another question, "No matter how you see it, Dean should hold all the power. Holly is just a fugitive from Ylore. How would she be capable of controlling Dean?" "Without knowing what happened, it is hard to make a guess," Elliot said.
"Hmm. I'll return Sebastian's call." Avery called Sebastian.
Sebastian had calmed down a little.
"Sebastian, I've asked around, and we don't know where your father is. At this point, we only know that your father has left with an unknown woman from a club." Avery said to him, "Didn't he go and meet Holly? Why did he leave with another woman." "That person is Holly," Sebastian said. "Holly had plastic surgery." Avery was confused.
"I've seen her. She said she was Holly. She had plastic surgery to evade you," Sebastian said.
Avery found the entire situation inbelievable know there are dvanced plastic surgery techniques hat would allow you to change a >erson's face, but Holly had just scaped from Ylore not too long go How could she have altered hei ace in such a short period of time?" Sebastian was stunned. "How long does it take to alter your face?" "I'm not exactly sure about how long it would take but from what I know about Holly's escape, it surely would take longer than that to change e one's face!" Avery remembered what Hayden had told her about Holly. "The person you met is not Holly. Holly has not had any plastic surgery." Hayden's men had found Holly based on a picture he had given them. Although Holly had managed to escape, she would not have been able to change her face in such a short period of time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing what Avery said, Sebastian grew bewildered.
"H-How do you know that she has not had plastic surgery?" Sebastian had deliberately withheld information from Avery the night before, as he had suspected that she knew more than she was letting on.
"Sebastian, they toldthat she had not done any plastic surgery, but it's up to you to choose whether to believeor to believe your senses. The woman claimed to be Holly and to have undergone plastic surgery, but did she have any proof?" Avery asked. Sebastian took a deep breath. He said disappointedly, "No. Could my father and I have been conned?" "How did you get in touch with the woman who claims to be Holly?" Avery asked, confused.
"We found her through Natalie's phone. She had left it behind in Aryadelle." When Sebastian mentioned Natalie's name, he suddenly realized something. "Could this be a setup?!" "Go look for your father! If you really can't find him, go find Natalie," said Avery.
Sebastian hung up. He strode back indoors from the courtyard.
He took Natalie's phone out. He found Holly's contact and called her.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later." Staring at the luxurious living area in a daze, Sebastian sat on the sofa with a darkened expression.
