His Eagle Eyes on Me

"No." Dean did not dare to lie. If he claimed to have found Ivy, he knew that Avery would rush over to Bridgedale and pound on his door till he handed Ivy over.

"But I have leads as to where she is," Dean said. "Avery, Angela is dead now, so why can't you just let them think that there is a piece of technology which can revive the dead? Do you really have to stop me from profiting from it? If someone finds your daughter and refuses to hand her back to you, how would you feel?"

"Dean Jennings, how can you even compare those two things?" she said sharply.

"How are these two matters that different? You must really care for your daughter, am I right? Money, to me, is worth more than the lives of my children!" Dean snarled. "Avery, I don't want to waste any more time on you or Elliot, so I won't do anything to your daughter so long as you stay out of my way!"

"Dean, have you, or have you not found my daughter?!" Avery could not tell whether Dean was lying to her or not.

"No, but I am close, so leave me alone!" Dean said impatiently. "When I find your daughter, I will take good care of her and return her to you once my business takes off!"

Avery did not respond right away, so he hung up, believing that Avery would prioritize Ivy's life.

"Dad, what did she say?" Sebastian asked.

"What else can she say? We will continue with our project! To be able to survive one crisis after another, I'm convinced that I've been blessed by the gods!" Dean said smugly. "The gods are on my side! I've never relied on anyone before, and Angela was merely my pawn! I will succeed with or without her!"

Sebastian saw the determination and ambition that was required for someone to succeed on his father's face. At the same time, he realized the biggest difference between him and his father was that he was not as desperate to succeed.

Avery stepped back into the master bedroom. She gripped her phone in shock. She sat down on the edge of the bed but could not bring herself to settle down, as her brain had gone into overdrive trying to think of ways to save her daughter.

She was the one who had told Elliot to leave finding Ivy to their men and that they should not go after Ivy themselves, even if they had any leads. Avery did not want to put themselves in danger to find Ivy and Elliot had agreed.

However, she had lost all control over herself as soon as she heard about Ivy.

Avery took a few deep breaths to adjust herself and regained her composure after a short while.

She lay down in bed.

Elliot could not travel far and had to stay home to rest; she had to remain home as well because he would definitely follow her if she tried to go to Bridgedale.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, Avery knew that she had to stay home with Elliot. As for Ivy, she would have to ask for someone else's help to monitor Dean. As soon as there was a sign of Ivy, they could figure out a way to rescue her. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Avery sent Hayden a message with a summary of what Dean had said and asked him to keep an eye on Dean.

Hayden replied right away with an 'Okay' sign.

Avery closed her eyes to sleep, but Dean's words echoed within her, and her anxiety grew like a weed, and it soon took control of her.
