Chapter 2257


    "Isn''t that a good thing? You can rest for a while."


    "Stop messing around! I''m still young! My mom would be worried sick if I didn''t have a job," Chad


    said without hesitation. "And I would be bored as well."


    "I''m just kidding! I know you can''t stand not having a job, just like your boss. If Avery wasn''t home to


    keep an eye on Elliot, he would probably be working right now," Mike teased.


    "Yeah. Avery needs some rest as well, so you should go back to Bridgedale. You can bring Hayden


    over for their wedding. Don''t tell Hayden about this just yet. It''s a surprise and we will wait till


    Christmas eve."


    "Alright, I get it. I''ll leave tomorrow."

    Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Dean had agreed to meet with Holly that morning. Excited, he woke up at


    five and headed out at six.


    The sky was still dark, and the headlights of his car split the darkness in half.


    The people who had been waiting near Dean''s house spotted his car and immediately took out their


    walkie-talkies. They sent their colleagues, who were on the highway, a message about his


    departure.


    Dean''s car moved past the high-end residential area and drove toward the highway.


    The car that was stationed by the highway waited until Dean''s car had driven a little farther before it


    began following him from a distance. There weren''t many cars on the road at this time, and if their


    car was too close to Dean''s, it would raise suspicion.


    Dean had his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, he opened his eyes.


    Panic filled him, and he regretted how he had told Avery that he was close to finding Ivy. He knew


    that she would definitely act on the information he had given her.


    He nced at the rear-viewing mirror, and, as he had expected, he saw a ck car following them.


    "Drive slower," Dean said to the driver.


    The driver immediately slowed down the car, and the ck car behind them overtook them shortly


    after.


    Feeling relieved, Dean said, "Keep going."


    Several more cars appeared ahead of them as the driver continued driving. About halfway through,


    a taxi began following them. The driver had wanted to tell Dean about it, but when he nced at the


    rearview mirror, he saw that Dean had once again closed his eyes. The driver decided not to disturb


    him.


    At eight in the morning, Dean arrived at the club where he was supposed to meet Holly.


    The club usually opened at night and closed during the day.


    Dean called Holly after getting out of the car, and, shortly after, the club doors were thrown open


    and Dean and his bodyguards entered the club.


    The entire street was filled with clubs targeted at people with lower ies, which meant that it


    catered to a mixed crowd. People with a higher status would visit this area, thus making it the


    perfect hideout for criminals.


    When Holly had asked to meet with Dean here, he had agreed without hesitation.


    "Dean is inside. What do we do next?" The person that was sent to follow Dean called his superior


    to get further instructions.


    "There''s no hurry. Go inside after Deanes out. Remember, if you spot Holly, capture her alive."
