Avery said, "There is no such force. If there is any force, it will be from ourselves."
She paused for a while before saying," Mary Hills is dead?"
"Yes, she poisoned herself," Sebastian replied. "She consumed the same poison as Angela. Mother and daughter have long expected this outcome, so they prepared beforehand."
Avery's heart constricted a little.
Why did things turn out this way? Dean only wanted Angela's resurrection treatment. If he got what he wanted, logically speaking, he would not have killed Mary. Why did Mary kill herself too?
"Sebastian, before Mary killed herself, did she give your father Angela's things?" Avery asked.
"I don't think so. I was not there. When I arrived, Mary was already dead." Sebastian stood outside the ward. His expressions were serious. "I don't think my father has two-point-one billion dollars with him. He must have surely borrowed money. If he can't get this money back, I think his blood pressure won't ever come down."
"Are you worried that if your father dies, his debt will become your debt?" Avery was in a bad mood, but she felt that Sebastian's mood was nowhere better than hers. "As long as you don't inherit your father's estate, you won't need to repay his debt for him."
"I'm not thinking that far," Sebastian replied. "You know about my relationship with my father. He has no feelings for me and vice versa. I am only interested in the status and wealth that the Jennings family gave me. I like to be the heir. I also like to hear other people fawning at me. Do you think I’m a hypocrite?"
"I understand your feelings, but Sebastian, it’s better to rely on yourself. It would be much better relying on yourself rather than relying on your parents or loved ones," Avery seemed to be advising him, but she was actually advising herself.
Mary was already dead. She could no longer rely on Angela's research.
That way, she could only rely on herself and her team. The progress would be much slower, but there was also an advantage. That was, she no longer needed to worry about being threatened by others.
"Thank you for comforting me," Sebastian felt much better. "I never thought that Natalie would be so bold. This woman would always surprise me. I'm her halfsibling, but I don't have the drive that she has."
"Sebastian told me. He also told me that Mary is dead. What a pity. That girl looks young," Avery said pitifully. "Did Angela really not leave anything behind? Perhaps, Angela and Dean did not have a good relationship. She would rather give it to other people than Dean?"
Elliot said, "Natalie has gone to Aryadelle."
Avery was stunned at his firm tone. "Elliot, how do you know about this? Didn't she cheat Dean of his money and escape?"
"No. The money Natalie cheated from Dean, she has given it to me," Elliot said calmly." How could I let go of people who hurt us?"
Avery suddenly came to a realization. This was Elliot's setup!
For the past few days, Elliot had been going to the office daily, not to work, but to design how to get revenge on Natalie.
