His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2260

Holly burst out laughing as though she had heard the funniest thing. "Hahaha! Mr. Jennings, everyone here in Bridgedale knows how fulfilling your love life is! My guess is that maybe one of your ex-girlfriends or ex-wives looks like me."

"Yeah! That's what I mean to say." Dean started chuckling as well. "Why did you come to Bridgedale, Holly? Do you know someone here?"

"I don't know anyone here." She set her cup down and continued coldly, "Don't try to look into my background, Dean. I'm not interested in you."

Dean kept silent. Though the woman before him was by no means ugly, she was not his type either. He preferred younger women, and it was obvious that Holly wasn't young anymore. "I just admire you for your ability and am confused about your actions." He glanced at her casually. "You said that you have Ivy, so why not just hand her over to Elliot? If you return Ivy to him, not only will he not retaliate, he will pay you handsomely."

"Mr. Jennings, are you Elliot Foster? How can you be so sure he would do that? Besides, I only found Ivy recently," she said impatiently, unlocking her phone to check if she had received the payment.

"How did you find Ivy with such ease, when Elliot and Avery have failed to do so despite how hard they've tried?" he asked.

Anyone would be suspicious about how Holly managed to accomplish such a thing and wonder if she was merely a pawn of someone more powerful.

"Do you want to know?" she teased. "I can tell you but not for free."

Dean waited for her to continue.

"Pay me another three million, and I can tell you exactly how I tracked her down. How's that?" she asked sarcastically. "I've heard about how generous you are, and, so far, you've exceeded all expectations."

"Forget it! I'm just asking. If you don't want to say it, I don't really care! Just hand Ivy over to me."

"I will, once I get the money."

"I can only give you 1.5 million, for now, Holly. I will have to verify her identity before I can pay you the rest," he said. "I am definitely not going to waste my money on a fake. Should she be an imposter, I will take back everything I have paid you as well."
