[Ohhh! That's nice! I heard that she's an albino. When can I see her?] Ben said.
[If you want to see her, do so after learning the basics of her condition. She's not a pet. Don't take this lightly.]
[You are scaring me!]
[...]
[Why so serious? Are you in a bad mood? Should I take you out to have some fun?]
[Avery is asleep.]
[Okay! Got it! I will arrange something now! Wait there. I will message you when I arrive at your door.]
[I mean to say that because Avery is asleep, I'm going to sleep soon!]
[??? What time do you think it is?]
[She is exhausted from running around. Besides, I can't go out without her permission. Don't corrupt me.]
[Hmph! I wanted to gossip with you or something! I guess we can only do that on the phone, then.]
[What gossip?]
[Dean is dead, right. Natalie finally came out of hiding. Hahaha! I don't think she will ever go back to Aryadelle. She will do well in Bridgedale if she manages to get a share of Dean's money.]
[She is fighting for it?]
[She is Dean's daughter, after all. After Dean's will was read, all the Jennings siblings, apart from Sebastian, have banded together to try and nullify the will.]
[That's hilarious. The will is protected by law. They can't just nullify it because they want to.]
No one knew about the grudge between Natalie and Dean, and neither did they know that she was responsible for Dean's death, so none of them were surprised to see her at the funeral.
Natalie froze when she saw Mike, and Mike raised his glass at her.
"Was Mike Dad's friend?" said Natalie, turning to ask Sebastian.
"No. He is my friend. Why?" Sebastian asked.
The Jennings siblings seemed at peace on the surface, but they had all split into two factions as they prepared to fight over Dean's wealth.
"Haha. Mike is Avery's pawn, so she is probably the one who asked him here!" Natalie said in hopes of embaresing Sebastian.
"So what if that's the case? I am the leader of the Jennings family now. I get to decide who I invite," Sebastian said.
"Alright, alright. I know Avery is backing you," Natalie mocked. "It's a shame that you are still losing."
