Chapter 2266


    "Mom, once I find Dean Jennings, I''ll call you. It''ste. I won''t call you tonight," Hayden said. "Sleep


    early. Don''t stay up for someone like him. Even if he is dead, he deserved it."


    "Hmm. I''m not worried about him. His son just told me that he couldn''t find him. I thought there


    might be some progress on the case." Avery only wanted to know if there was any news about Ivy.


    She was slightly more nervous because of Ivy.


    "If there is any news about Ivy, I will immediately tell you," Hayden said.


    "Okay."


    After hanging up, Avery looked at Elliot. "Dean had arranged to meet with Holly today, but he left the


    premise with another woman. I find this all too strange."


    Elliot found it strange too. "Could the woman be someone Holly sent?"


    "Now that you mentioned it, it might be, but even if Dean is meeting with Holly, he should still be


    able to answer his phone, right?" Avery asked another question, "No matter how you see it, Dean


    should hold all the power. Holly is just a fugitive from Ylore. How would she be capable of


    controlling Dean?"


    "Without knowing what happened, it is hard to make a guess," Elliot said.


    "Hmm. I''ll return Sebastian''s call." Avery called Sebastian.


    Sebastian had calmed down a little.


    "Sebastian, I''ve asked around, and we don''t know where your father is. At this point, we only know


    that your father has left with an unknown woman from a club." Avery said to him, "Didn''t he go and


    meet Holly? Why did he leave with another woman."


    "That person is Holly," Sebastian said. "Holly had stic surgery."


    Avery was confused.


    "I''ve seen her. She said she was Holly. She had stic surgery to evade you," Sebastian said.


    Avery found the entire situation unbelievable. "I know there are advanced stic surgery techniques


    that would allow you to change a person''s face, but Holly had just escaped from Ylore not too long


    ago! How could she have altered her face in such a short period of time?"


    Sebastian was stunned. "How long does it take to alter your face?"


    "I''m not exactly sure about how long it would take, but from what I know about Holly''s escape, it


    surely would take longer than that to change one''s face!" Avery remembered what Hayden had told


    her about Holly. "The person you met is not Holly. Holly has not had any stic surgery."


    Hayden''s men had found Holly based on a picture he had given them. Although Holly had managed


    to escape, she would not have been able to change her face in such a short period of time.


    Hearing what Avery said, Sebastian grew bewildered.


    "H-How do you know that she has not had stic surgery?" Sebastian had deliberately withheld


    information from Avery the night before, as he had suspected that she knew more than she was


    letting on.


    "Sebastian, they told me that she had not done any stic surgery, but it''s up to you to choose


    whether to believe me or to believe your senses. The woman imed to be Holly and to have


    undergone stic surgery, but did she have any proof?" Avery asked.


    Sebastian took a deep breath. He said disappointedly, "No. Could my father and I have been


    conned?"


    "How did you get in touch with the woman who ims to be Holly?" Avery asked, confused.


    "We found her through Natalie''s phone. She had left it behind in Aryadelle." When Sebastian


    mentioned Natalie''s name, he suddenly realized something. "Could this be a setup?!"

    "Go look for your father! If you really can''t find him, go find Natalie," said Avery.


    Sebastian hung up. He strode back indoors from the courtyard.


    He took Natalie''s phone out. He found Holly''s contact and called her.


    "I''m sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable. Please try againter."


    Staring at the luxurious living area in a daze, Sebastian sat on the sofa with a darkened expression.
