Sebastian was not familiar with Holly, but from their messages, he saw a name that made his eyes brighten— Ivy.
Ivy was Elliot's and Avery's long-lost daughter.
They had been in Ylore, looking for her, and that was how Natalie had set them up. They had almost died in the suburbs of a foreign country!
After going through Natalie and Holly's messages, Sebastian could roughly guess Holly's identity.
He was overjoyed. He felt as if he had just won a jackpot.
The first thing he thought of doing was calling his father and giving him the news. His father would surely be very happy.
After this thought appeared, he felt sad! He clearly hated his father and wanted to kill him. That way, no one could call him useless anymore. No one would use the Jennings family fortune to force him into obedience.
However, why did the first thought he have was one which involved pleasing his father? He had just gotten a very important lead.
He could have told Avery. If he wanted a reward, Avery would surely generously reward him.
"Sir, are there any important messages on the phone?" The bodyguard noticed his tense expression. "Do we go back immediately, or do we continue looking for Natalie?"
The other bodyguard said, "Sir, why don't we head back? We won't be able to do much here. You should hand over Natalie's phone to your father, and then it will be done, right?"
"Yes! You're the only heir. Even if he thought you didn't do well, he would surely not blame you. Why do you have to continue suffering outside?"
The bodyguard's comments helped Sebastian come to a decision. If he wanted to inherit Dean's fortune, he would have to be in the same boat as Dean. Even if he helped Avery, Avery would at most reward him. However, how could this reward compare to the Jennings' family fortune?
That was good too. It saved him and his father the trouble of killing her themselves.
After lying in bed, resting for a while, Sebastian picked his phone up, searched for Avery's contact, and called her.
He had to return to Bridgedale tomorrow. Before returning, he wanted to meet Avery.
The call connected, and it took Avery a few seconds to answer it.
"Sebastian, can I help you with anything?" Avery was washing Elliot's hair.
For the past week, not once had Elliot's head touched water. In fact, his head had never touched water since he got injured.
