Chapter 2048


    What Dean said revealed no information.


    "Is he saying that Ang wouldn''t hurt Elliot?" Avery thought to herself. "If that’s the case, why


    would she kidnap him in the first ce?"


    "She took Elliot away against his will. No matter what motivated her to do so, I will never forgive her!


    Dean Jennings, you can try and talk your way out of this, but you better not let me find any evidence


    that points to your involvement! Otherwise, I swear I will make you pay!"


    "Avery, if I am telling you that I have nothing to do with this, I am not worried that you would look into


    it! Why would I want Elliot? Even you can''t exin it, can you? I''ve never questioned what Ang


    does in herb. She won''t tell me anything even if I were to ask her. You''ve overestimated my


    influence on her. She knows that I rely heavily on her, and she never has to worry about bills when


    shees asking for money. Of course, it''s not like she has my full, undivided support, and that''s


    why she has agreed to marry me," Dean confessed. "Do you still think I''m involved in this?


    Hahaha!"


    "You might not be involved, but you definitely know where Ang is!" Avery only wanted to find


    Ang and force her into releasing Elliot.


    "Stop pushing, Avery! I told you to go look for her yourself! Stop asking me about it! I have nothing


    more to say!" Dean said, before hanging up.


    The car stopped on the side of the road.


    "Avery, do you know about the Marshall''s Award?" Mike asked. "The winner will be announced in a


    month''s time. I heard that it has always been Ang''s dream to win it."


    "You think she might be participating in the contest?" Avery guessed. 1RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    "Yeah. Let''s head back. I will do some research to find out if she''s nominated. If she''s indeed listed,


    it won''t be hard to track her down."


    Avery nodded.


    After the call with Avery, Dean''s assistant left the room and Dean used his own phone to call


    Ang.


    "Ang, Avery brought search dogs to your office and caught Elliot''s scent there," Dean said. "I


    didn''t see that oneing."


    "What else did she say?" Ang asked calmly.


    "Mostly death threats! She says if we refuse to h:f&; XMY= Elliot over, she will kill us." Dean wanted


    to smirk, but his lips were too tense to move. He had never underestimated Avery''s power. After all,


    not only did she have Dream Maker, but she also held all the power Elliot once wielded. If this had


    happened in Aryadelle, Dean would have been dealt with long ago.


    "Haha! Ignore her. Keep her on her toes. What she''s going through right now can hardlypare to


    all my suffering in the past years," Ang drawled. "Dean, don''t be afraid. She talks a big game, but


    she won''t do anything to you. If she''s really as powerful as she ims to be, she would have acted


    long ago. It''s not like she''s only started having doubts about us recently. II


    "Ang, how are you so calm?" Dean was clueless about what Ang was researching, and what


    she was thinking.


    "I have Elliot as a hostage, why should I be afraid?" Ang drawled. "Do you trust me, or do you


    trust her?" "You, of course."


    "It''s settled, then. I want some time alone."


    "Alright, I''ll leave you be.


    "Yeah."
