Chapter 1983


    "Hello, Miss Tate," said thewyer, greeting Avery. "I''ve already met with Wanda Tate’swyer


    yesterday and was told that the evidence they hold is a recording of the phone conversation you


    had with Wanda before her death. They said that you admitted to wanting to kill her at the time."

    "How ridiculous. I know what I said. I did say that I was going to avenge my mother, but I did not say


    anything about revenge on Wanda unless she admitted to killing my mother!" She switched on her


    phone and said, "I recorded the conversation as well. You can listen to it."


    She found the recording and yed it.


    "What... What on earth are you talking about?! Your father is long gone! I watched them cremate


    him! You designed the robot to look exactly like your father. It was your father''s dying wish, and now


    alonges Dream Maker. That''s why you are using his face. This way he is fulfilling his dream!


    What a great daughter you are!”


    "Wanda, since you’ve already found out this much, I can only admit it. Not only am I a great


    daughter to my dad, but also am one to my mom. Now that my dad''s dream has been fulfilled, now


    it''s time to avenge my mom.”


    "Hahaha... So it was you! I didn''t know you had it in you! How are you going to avenge your mom?!


    By running me over with a car?


    "You can go ahead and guess.”


    At the end of the recording, thewyer chuckled and said, "Indeed, Miss Tate, you did not mention


    seeking revenge on Mrs. Tate or that you are going to run her over with a car. Besides, you have an


    alibi at the time of the incident so you won''t even have to show up to court for this case. I will take it


    from here."


    "Thank you." Avery, too, did not want to waste her time on this. "Wanda wants to drag me along on


    her way to hell. I can understand the sentiment, but I really have nothing to do with this."


    "The police have carried out an investigation, and so far, the results show that she had illegally


    parked the car on the side of the road... From the road surveince footage, they saw her


    answering a call =h-=RIR> she seemed shaken after that. She crashed into another car after that."


    "Have they found out who called her?"


    "No. Whoever it was, she had broken thew so she is in the wrong here."


    "Good.”


    After speaking to thewyer, Avery saw him off.


    "It''s alright, Miss Tate. I will keep you posted on any progress."


    After thewyer was gone, she returned to the house. The sun was high in the sky.


    "I told you on the phone that you didn''t have toe here for this," Mike said casually. "Do you not


    trust us?"


    "I didn''te here just for Wanda." She nced at the time. "Dean''s second son, Sebastian, used


    to be my ssmate, and he has been asking me to meet with him. I came here to meet him."


    "Why does he want to meet?" rmed, Mike asked, "Is he trying to pursue you or something?"


    "Even if that''s the case, I will have to meet him in person," Avery drawled. "The research you did


    indicated that Dean has thirty-one children and only nine of them survived. Dean''s been rich for a


    long time now. Don''t you think it''s odd that his children are dropping like flies?"


    "Of course, I think it''s odd, but this isn''t my family. As odd as it may seem, I am not wasting my


    precious time on it," he said carelessly. "Wealthy families often bear loads of secrets. The Jennings


    aren''t the only ones-"


    "I don’t want to poke my nose at others'' family drama either, but when Elliot and I were kidnapped,


    Dean''s private jet happened to be in Ylore, and it took off two days before I was found. We can’t find


    Elliot no matter how hard we search... so I have reasons to suspect that Dean might be the one who


    has taken Elliot away."


    Mike nodded. "We don''t have any other leads now so I guess we can look into the Jennings, but I''m


    coming with you when you meet Sebastian."


    "It’s fine. I will go with my bodyguard. You can go back to Aryadelle if you are free."


    "I am far from free! You might not believe this, but the orders we have received two years'' worth of


    orders... If we don''t expand the manufacturing line, we won’t be able to meet the market''s demand."


    His head began hurting at the thought of it." Whatever. I''ll go to the office then!"


    Once Mike left, Avery got ready to head out as she had arranged to meet with Sebastianter for


    lunch.
