"Besides, my dad will be looking for Mary as well. He won't stop," Sebastian said." Come to think of it, Angela had it all planned out right from the beginning! She has been weaving this gigantic web this whole time! She had known my dad for years, and still, she had never allowed us to meet Mary."
Avery listened to him seriously while trying to figure out a way to find Mary.
"None of us know what she looks like, so it's difficult to find her. My dad has never paid much attention to Mary because she was adopted. Judging from the current situation, I think Angela had handed everything she had over to Mary." Sebastian came to a sudden realization." My dad thought he outsmarted everyone, but he had lost to Angela right from the start." "Sebastian, let me know right away if your dad finds Mary." Avery paused for a moment, before continuing, "I didn't expect Angela to end her life like that. She didn't give anyone a chance to react."
"You are panicking, aren’t you? Now that Angela is dead, Elliot is screwed."
"I will figure something out."
"Good luck."
The car stopped before the hotel and Avery hung up after glancing outside the window.
By the time Avery rang the doorbell of Elliot's suite, he was having his breakfast.
He did not have much of an appetite, and his head felt as though it was splitting in half from the hangover.
When Chad heard the doorbell, he went to open the door without hesitation, and Avery strode in.
"Chad, leave us."
"Okay..." Chad cast Elliot a nervous look, before stepping out of the room.
Avery was overwhelmed with sorrow in his words.
"Chad said you drank a whole bottle of wine last night. I guess you really do have a death wish." She could smell the scent of alcohol on him, but it might very well be coming off her own body as well. "I was drinking last night so that I can summon the courage to tell you about Sebastian."
"Forget it." Elliot did not want to know anything about Sebastian.
"Okay. Are you done with breakfast? Let's go home!"
"Avery, I don't want to keep living like a puppet. I will do whatever I want to do, so you should just leave me alone." Elliot stared darkly at her, his tone distant. "I thought you were busy? You should go back to what you have been doing."
"What are you trying to say?" Avery felt like he was trying to end their relationship.
