Chapter 2012


    "Avery, do you know why I asked you to buy me lunch at the canteen?" Sebastian asked.

    "Why?"


    "Because I knew you would ask sensitive questions like that." He studied her like he had already


    seen right through her. "My father''s spies are hidden amongst the bodyguards that are supposed to


    protect me."


    Avery fell silent, not knowing what to say.


    Avery had not thought that would be possible.


    "My father made an excuse of wanting me protected and sent his men to watch me. Do you still


    think that it''s strange for him to do something to my brother?" Sebastian lowered his voice as his


    lips curled into a smile like he did not have a care in the world for how abnormal his rtionship with


    his father was.


    "There has to be a reason that he''s doing this, right? I haven''t spoken to your father much, but he''s


    just a guy-"


    "If you stop considering him as just a guy'', then all the things that happened in the Jennings family


    will start to make sense to you," he said as he ced scoops of food onto his te.


    Avery moved her gaze away from his face and turned to look at the trays of food before her. Once


    they were done, the two went to sit down by the corner at the table that was mostly full, so that


    Sebastian''s bodyguards were left with no options but to sit somewhere else.


    "You said that your father is sick in the head, but how so? Like, is he mentally ill or something?


    Does Ang know?" Avery felt like a gossiping wench. She had started looking into the Jennings to


    find Elliot, but she had realized that the drama surrounding this family had surpassed her


    imagination. If Dean was not an ordinary man, then it only meant that Elliot was in a far more


    dangerous situation than she had originally thought.


    "It''s not that bad. I don''t think he''s mentally ill; he just became extremely self-absorbed after getting


    rich... thinking that he is invincible... Everyone around him fawns over him, too, so he just gets


    weirder and weirder."


    "If he''s not mentally ill, why would he hurt your brother? There has to be a reason for it, right?"


    Avery sighed a breath of relief, if Dean was not a psychopath, then Elliot might still be alive.


    "My brother fell in love with the wrong person..."


    "A woman?" Avery scowled.


    "Yeah. That woman dated my father in secret before :h%:YKT? my brother started seeing her half a


    year ago... My brother knew that Father would be furious once he finds out, so they had been


    sneaking around, but eventually, my father did find out."


    Avery was in awe of how strange the situation was. "A woman dated your father in secret, they


    broke up, and she started dating your brother instead... It''s a bit bizarre to me, but so long as they


    are okay with it...your father didn''t have to..."


    "Once he found out about this, he ordered his bodyguards to beat my brother up. I was there."


    Sebastian smiled bitterly." What do I have to do with all this? He had a point to call me over so that I


    could watch him beat my brother up... and that wasn''t enough for him. When the driver sent my


    brother to the hospital, Father sent his bodyguards to crash into my brother''s car."


    Chills ran down her spine and she began to sweat fearfully. "Your father is sick... He is a sick man! I


    used to think that Elliot is the devil himself, but he is not nearly half as ruthless as your father!"


    "Well, he let my brother live, so I guess he still cares for him, otherwise Bobby would have died!"


    Sebastian kept munching away, not at all disgusted by what had happened.


    Avery, on the other hand, hadpletely lost her appetite, so she opened a bottle of


    water and took a sip instead.
