Chapter 2006


    Sebastian gasped. "My brother said that to you?!" "No."


    "If that''s not the case, why do you think that I''m the one behind all this? Simply because with him


    gone, I will be the next in line to inherit my father''s wealth?" he asked.


    Avery did not respond.


    "Naha! Well, you won''t be the first to think that. I don''t care if the others think so because their


    narrow minds do not affect me, but I''m a bit hurt that you would say such a thing," heined


    sadly.


    After a moment of silence, Avery exined, "Your brother didn’t say that you are behind it, but he


    mentioned that someone nned the "ident" to get him killed. I don''t know anyone else other


    than you in the Jennings family."


    "What do you mean, you don''t know anyone else?" Sebastian did not ept the exnation. "You


    should know Ang, right? I still remember how shocked you were when I mentioned her name. If


    you didn''t know her, you would have asked who she was and why she was with my father... but you


    didn''t ask a thing.”


    "I am confused, too. Ang went to our school to look for Professor Hough before, yet your dad


    says that he met Ang the first time at a party the Jennings family held. Have you really not seen


    her before at school?" Avery asked.


    "Avery, that''s not important—" "I feel like nothing any of you said is true," she said. "Are you all wary


    of me because you don''t want me to find Elliot?" "I don''t know what my father and brother think. We


    might be a family, but we are not as united as you think we are. I was only introduced to the family


    after reaching adulthood... So trust me, what I tell you has a higher chance of being truepared


    to what my father is telling you."


    "So were you behind the car ident your brother was in, then?"


    "No," he answered without hesitation. "If it was me, my father wouldn''t hand my brother''s assets


    over to me. I would have been dead by now if I was behind it...


    Probably severely maimed, if not dead."


    Avery kept quiet when she heard this.


    Sebastian''s words had shaken her view on the entire situation.


    "My brother told him that someone is after him... Haha! Why would he tell you that? Avery Tate,


    what kind of sorcery are you working to convince even someone as timid as my brother to confess


    to you?" he asked in confusion.


    She remained stunned. "You said that what your brother said was true :g&=TIV> that you are not


    behind it, so who was it?"


    "Answer my question first, before I answer yours," he insisted, seemingly certain that Avery would


    answer his question in order to get answers to hers.


    "I told your brother that I can cure him, but he needs to find out where Elliot is," she said after


    remaining thoughtful for a few moments. "But he didn’t take me up on my offer." "Haha! You are


    hrious, Avery! Did my brotherugh when you say that?"

    Sebastian''s sarcasticugh pierced through her ears and she tightened her grip on the phone. "No.


    Not only did he notugh, but he was also livid."


    "Oh... Livid, huh? Of course, he was livid, because you... can’t cure him," he said and started


    laughing again. Once he was done, he asked, "After all that I''ve said, you still haven''t figured out


    who got him into this state?"


    "Ang?" Avery guessed.


    "... I thought you were smart! I''m surprised that you are such a moron," he said, before hanging up.


    Avery stared at her phone in stunned silence.


    Avery was rather tired before the call, but now, not only was she no longer sleepy, her heart was


    filled with anger for being called a ''moron'' by a cob like Sebastian.
