Chapter 1988


    "Your Ms. Kennedy is not missing her mother, she is missing her family''s money, " George said to


    La.


    Leah looked up and red at him before hurrying out of the school gates.


    "Uncle George, you’ve crossed a line," La said and followed Leah. "Let’s send Ms.

    Kennedy home!"


    "La, let''s not interfere. If we follow her, we might affect her ability to reconcile with her mother."


    George was angry at Mrs. Kennedy for what she had said about him a moment ago. "Her mother


    twists facts and has a dirty mouth. I''m afraid if I see her again, I will attack her."


    La replied, "Okay, then! I only feel bad for her. She looked so sad with how she was crying. If I


    was beaten by my mother-" "How could your mother possibly beat you? Don’tpare your mother


    to her mother. They are different." George brought La out of school and sent her to the car.


    "Uncle George, after you send me home, go see Ms. Kennedy! If you don’t want to go, why don''t


    you call her and ask her if she is alright?"


    George did not want to do that, so he said directly, "I would rather just ask you instead. You are her


    student. I''m not close to her."


    "But Ms. Kennedy likes you!"


    George blushed. "La, do you know what ispatibility? If what she told me about her six-figure


    monthly allowance is true, then we are definitely notpatible. Her mother called me a dog and


    told me that I was pursuing someone who is way out of my league..."


    "Uncle George, don''t mind what that old witch says," La boosted George''s confidence. "You''re


    handsome, you have a high sry, and you''re strong. If I was Ms. Kennedy, perhaps I could have


    liked you too."


    George was speechless. La''s praise flew him to cloud nine.


    "I''m only afraid that Ms. Kennedy would be taken away by her mother. If that''s the case, then we''ll


    no longer be able to see her anymore," La told him about her worries. "So,ter, go check up on


    her on my behalf."


    George could not oppose La. "Okay, then!


    In Bridgedale, after Sebastian told Avery about his father''s new girlfriend, they started eating.


    Although she did not gain much from the meeting, it went much smoother than she imagined.


    Sebastian seemed to be not as slick. After dinner, Avery decided to find out some information about


    him.


    "Are you working in your family’spany right now?”


    "Yes. Initially, I didn''t want to take over the family''s business. Who would’ve thought that my brother


    would have had an ident half a year ago? He was only discharged not long ago. Although he


    was discharged, his brain was affected.”


    Avery never thought that such a dramatic incident would happen.


    Dean Jennings'' remaining heir was


    Sebastian.


    What did that mean for Sebastian? A sure victory? If nothing happened to him.


    Coming out of the restaurant, Avery saw arge number of bodyguards nking Sebastian.


    Avery said, "You have to pay attention to your safety. If something were to happen to you too, your


    father would no longer have an heir."


    "Don’t jinx it! I''m afraid that something might happen to me, too! Do you know how much I’m risking


    coming out to meet you? If I had to put it harshly, I might even say that I think my family has been


    cursed,” Sebastian said in a low voice.


    "Aren’t you jinxing it even more yourself? If what I said just now was cursing you, you have just


    directly cursed your entire family. " Avery looked at her bodyguard nearby before saying to


    Sebastian, "Let’s call it a day today. If I have anything else in the future, I''ll contact you by phone."


    "Avery, I have something I forgot to say just now." Sebastian looked at her face =d#;WLQ < called


    out after her. "After not seeing you for so long, you''re still as young, beautiful, and energetic as


    before."


    Avery had chills. "I initially thought that you were somewhat different from the past. It looks like I


    was wrong."


    "I''m praising you. How could you say that about me?" Sebastian did not know what was wrong with


    what he said.


    "If others praise me, I would be happy; but if you praise me, it would only make me feel


    ufortable." It was her body''s instinctive reaction. She was helpless about it too. "If there is


    nothing else in the future, let’s not meet."


    Avery got in the car and the bodyguard quickly drove off.


    Sebastian furrowed his brows, looking at her car vanishing from sight.


    "Mr. Jennings, this woman is too unappreciative! Since when have you ever had to deal with such a


    temper like hers? In the future, if you see her, don''t care about her anymore." Sebastian''s assistant


    was upset on Sebastian''s behalf.
