Chapter 2162


    Avery was in a daze, and her chest tightened. "What way?"


    "Guess it yourself." Sebastian kept her guessing. "Avery, I won''t tell you everything about the


    Jennings family anymore. You should understand that my fate is inextricably linked with my family''s.


    "Hmm. You''re the second son of the Jennings family, after all. I understand that you''re on your


    father’s side."


    "I feel like you''re mocking me."


    "Sebastian, don''t overthink this. I''m not thinking that. Even if you say that you''re indifferent toward


    your father, blood is thicker than water, after all. You’re also your family’s only heir. Most people


    would make the same decision you are," said Avery very calmly, while secretly thinking about what


    bargaining chip Dean had obtained now.


    "I also want to rely on myself to live just like you and Elliot, but reality is just too bleak. If I were to


    leave the Jennings family, I don''t know how I would live."


    "Hmm... Sebastian, you''re not the same as your father. If you''re the person to take over the


    Jennings family in the future, I believe you won’t be like your father..."


    "My father is not going to die just yet." Sebastian understood what she was implying.


    She was hoping that the bargaining chip possessed by the Jennings family was one that would not


    harm her or Elliot.


    If Sebastian was the one in control of the Jennings family, he would naturally not hurt them.


    However, at the moment, Dean was the head of the house.


    "How did he find Ang''s research findings? Since Ang doesn’t love him, she probably wouldn''t


    have left her things behind for him." Avery told him what she had guessed.

    "It wasn''t left behind by Ang. Aren''t you overlooking one issue? That technology was not


    developed by Ang alone. She had a team back then. Now, my father has found the members of


    that team." Initially, Sebastian was not nning on making this clear to her. However, as he spoke


    with her, he subconsciously opened himself up to her.


    "I see." Avery had indeed overlooked that issue.


    She had forgotten that the people on the team had more or less known about this technology.


    Ang''sboratory had been funded by Dean back then, so, of course, it was easy for him to find


    the other members of the team.


    "Avery, I can''t help you this time." Sebastian noticed that she did not hang up the phone nor did she


    say anything, so he knew that she must have been feeling down. "You''ve taken 2.1 billion away


    from my family. If my father hadn''t thought of this method, our family would most probably be


    bankrupt. Even if my father has done some shameful things, whatever you guys did was nothing to


    be proud of either."


    "Sebastian, the grudge between your family and us did not start when we cheated your father out of


    his money. It started when your father wanted to take away Tate Industries and Dream Maker. It''s


    not an exaggeration to say that your father might have even wanted to take away Sterling Group. I


    believe you know about your father''s wild ambitions. If your father was not such a bully, why would


    we seek revenge on him?"


    "I know... I know that it''s my father who first provoked you. However, I still can’t watch the Jennings


    family go bankrupt. I won''t be sad if my father dies, but I can''t ept it if the Jennings family goes


    bankrupt."


    "Sebastian, I didn’t ask you to do anything for me. I''m already very thankful that you told me about


    his information in advance," said Avery, and then another call came in.


    She looked at her phone and saw a familiar name.


    It was Eric who was calling.


    Eric has gotten increasingly popr in the past couple of years, so his schedule was getting more


    and more packed. He would look for her asionally, but it would just be for a quick meet-up or


    lunch before he left. He had made aeback after he had had his surgery a few years ago. The


    work that he had epted after making hiseback had been more rxed and easy than


    before, out of consideration for his health.


    Later, when his health was somewhat better, the intensity of his work increased as well.


    She had chatted with him once, and he had said that his body had already recovered to a normal


    state, so he did not want to give up what he loved so deeply while he still had the passion for it.
