Both of them knew that there was close to no hope.
They had three children, and all of their children looked somewhat like them, so Ivy could not possibly look anything like them. Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Sebastian had progressed his plans.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Dean's funeral was over, Sebastian had officially taken over MediLove Pharmaceutical.
The first problem he now had to tackle was the new project his father had worked on alongside Stanley.
On the day of the funeral, Stanley had tried talking to Sebastian about the project, but Sebastian had been too busy during the day, so they had arranged a meeting at night.
Sebastian had made a reservation in the hotel and invited Stanley there for dinner, sending everyone inside the room away upon Stanley's arrival.
"Sebastian, let's cut to the chase. You know about the collaboration between your father and me. If this project works, it is going to generate endless wealth for the both of us," Stanley said. "Do you know why I want to work with you guys? Everyone knows about your father and Angela and that he was the one who invested in Angela's laboratory. Working with you guys makes this sound even more believable. Every successful enterprise nowadays is merely selling a story! The stranger the better! The world has never been short of brainless riches. I've made arrangements, and I assure you that it will be smooth sailing in marketing and sales once the product is launched." Stanley's words were naturally alluring, as Sebastian wanted to make a profit on his own as well prove himself capable.
"Mr. Palmer, if I continue to work with you, Avery Tate is going to expose us," Sebastian said.

Sebastian could not help but chuckle. "Do you think she needs that money?" "Who wouldn't want more? As long as we give her a good deal, she will be convinced." Concerned that Sebastian couldn't convince Avery, he said, "Why don't you just giveher number? I will talk to her" Desperate to watch the unfold, Sebastian gave him Avery's number.
With Avery's number in hand, Stanley said smugly, "I will handle Avery. We can give her the majority portion. She is a known professional in the medical field, after all, and we won't have to worry about making a profit with her on our side. Even if she refuses to join us, all she needs to do is to step down." Sebastian sighed. "Sure. Let's see if you can handle her. If you manage that, I will work with you. If you can't, there's no point for us to proceed as no one would be interested in throwing money into a sinking ship." "Are you really not able to convince her?" "Mr. Palmer, Like her, and she doesn't like me; not the other way around. I would have been able to convince her if she's my admirer or something, but that's not the case." Sebastian confessed, not concerned about embarrassing himself.
"Hahaha! You have good taste! It's no wonder that you are still single. So you like women like Avery Tate." Stanley burst into laughter. "She's with Elliot Foster, so she can't possibly be interested in you. You should just give up." "I'm just telling you this, Mr. Palmer. I et wouldn't dare to mention this to anyone else. You wanted to know why I can't convince her, right? Judging from her personality, she could literally fight Elliot Foster, too, if he refuses to listen to her. If you manage to convince her, forget this deal that we have. I can work with you on any other project you have in the future," Sebastian said, confident that Stanley would not be able to handle Avery. Stanley took out a cigarette from a box.
