Chapter 2181


    After sending his father home, Sebastian went to see Avery.


    Avery had already received a call from Wesley, where he informed her that Elliot had regained


    consciousness.


    She did not wish for the same thing to happen again, which was why she presented a card to


    Sebastian as soon as she saw him.


    "There are 2.1 billion in there. You can go to the bank to check," she said with a dark expression.


    He epted the card with pursed lips and felt like he was at a crossroads.


    "What''s wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong, Sebastian asked, "Did your dad ask for


    something else?"


    Avery knew that Dean would not give up so easily. "Does he want ourpanies or..."


    "He wanted money." Sebastian gazed up and met her eyes. "He wants 3 billion."


    She gasped and paled in an instant. "Where am I going to get that much money? Did he really think


    that Elliot would agree to such nonsense?! He must be daydreaming or something!"


    "I know Elliot wouldn''t, but I can''t talk my dad out of this either. If I ask him to lower the price, he


    would think that I''m siding with you..."


    "I can''t pull that much money out of thin air, Sebastian. Take this money back to your dad for now


    and tell him to leave


    Elliot alone for the time being. I will figure something out about the extra he asked for.


    That was the only option Avery was left with.


    "Alright," he said, before asking curiously," How''s your team research going?"


    "It''s going nowhere." She frowned. "They weren''t a part of the research before after all."


    "Hm... Hey, buy me a cup of coffee!" he blurted out.


    She stared at him in confusion. "Do you really think I''m in the mood for coffee?"


    "Maybe I can slip you a little hint," he offered generously. "I don''t really want to see you go to war


    with my dad."


    "Alright. My treat, then."

    The two sat down at a cafe nearby.


    Sebastian ordered a cup of coffee and sipped leisurely, while Avery nced at him with her phone


    in hand.


    "Is Elliot going to be alright?"


    "He’s not in any critical danger at the moment." Avery set her phone down and whispered, "I thought


    you were going to give me a hint. What is it?"


    "Can''t you at least wait until I finish my coffee? If I tell you now, you are definitely going to turn heels


    and leave," he said bitterly. "I feel used."


    "ying the victim card, are we?" she mocked. "If it wasn''t for your dad, our lives wouldn''t be in


    such a mess."


    "It''s entirely my dad''s fault. Ang was the one who picked Elliot." "Your dad knew about it the


    entire time.


    They were partners in crime!"


    "Sigh. That’s true."


    "So? What''s the hint? Sebastian, you know that I’m in a hurry. I can buy you coffee after everything


    settles down." Worried about Elliot, Avery struggled to remain calm.


    "There’s this guy, Oliver Raven, in the team. He didn’t really want to join, but my dad’s offer was too


    tempting. Look for him when you have the time and see if you can find an angle through him!"


    Avery memorized the name and started asking her friends about Oliver as soon as she exited the


    cafe.
