Angela was beaming at her at the time. Avery had thought that Angela was mocking her, but based on what had happened, she realized that that might not be the case.
"Avery, why aren't you saying anything?" Sebastian asked. "This is probably a good thing, right? With her gone, she won't be marrying my dad and so my dad’s plan has gone down the gutter."
Avery hummed in response. "It's good news, but where is she? Where do you think she is? Has she been living with your dad all these years?"
"Yeah, it's been quite long. She moved in at first to take care of my dad, and then the two said they were getting married. She isn't in that blue building she owns as well. My dad has sent out all his men to look for her, but no one knows where she is."
"Why would she just disappear? If she really doesn't want to marry your dad, she could have refused him. Why would she agree to marry him, only to run from the wedding? It’s like it’s all just a game for her, " Avery said dazedly.
"She's kind of creepy. Take her wedding dress as an example; she ordered a red dress at the beginning and suddenly changed her mind a few days ago, saying that she doesn't like red and wants a black dress instead. My dad hates the color black the most, but he still went with it and told the designer to remake the dress," Sebastian said. "Is there really anyone out there who likes a black wedding dress?
That’s the color of bad luck."
Avery had a bad feeling about the situation after hearing what Sebastian said.
"Could she..."
"Could she, what?" Judging from Avery's tone before she paused, Sebastian exclaimed, "You can't possibly think that she has killed herself, can you?"
Avery pursed her lips in silence.
"She has just won the Marshall's award. A bright future awaits her, so why would she abandon a perfectly nice life and kill herself?" Sebastian had not considered this possibility.
"Sebastian, don’t try to apply ordinary standards to Angela Hills." Avery still suspected that Angela had committed suicide. "She had told many people that it was her lifelong dream to win the
Marshall's Award, and now, that she has, she had no regrets." "So she killed herself because she has no regrets? What kind of logic is that?"
"She has not married or given birth her entire life. That's something ordinary people won’t be able to understand as well. Not everyone goes by the same standards and paths in life," Avery said while standing up. "Sebastian, let me know if you get any updates on Angela."
Avery could not stand staying at home and wanted to go out to search for Angela. She had no clue where to start but remaining home simply felt suffocating.
