His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2260

Chapter 2260

Holly burst out laughing as though she had heard the funniest thing. "Hahaha! Mr. Jennings, everyone here in Bridgedale knows how fulfilling your love life is! My guess is that maybe one of your ex-girlfriends or ex-wives looks like me."

"Yeah! That's what I mean to say." Dean started chuckling as well. "Why did you come to Bridgedale, Holly? Do you know someone here?"

"I don't know anyone here." She set her cup down and continued coldly, "Don't try to look into my background, Dean. I'm not interested in you."

Dean kept silent. Though the woman before him was by no means ugly, she was not his type either. He preferred younger women, and it was obvious that Holly wasn't young anymore. "I just admire you for your ability and am confused about your actions." He glanced at her casually. "You said that you have Ivy, so why not just hand her over to Elliot? If you return Ivy to him, not only will he not retaliate, he will pay you handsomely."

"Mr. Jennings, are you Elliot Foster? How can you be so sure he would do that? Besides, I only found Ivy recently," she said impatiently, unlocking her phone to check if she had received the payment.

"How did you find Ivy with such ease, when Elliot and Avery have failed to do so despite how hard they've tried?" he asked.

Anyone would be suspicious about how Holly managed to accomplish such a thing and wonder if she was merely a pawn of someone more powerful.

"Do you want to know?" she teased. "I can tell you but not for free."

Dean waited for her to continue.

"Pay me another three million, and I can tell you exactly how I tracked her down. How's that?" she asked sarcastically. "I've heard about how generous you are, and, so far, you've exceeded all expectations."

"Forget it! I'm just asking. If you don't want to say it, I don't really care! Just hand Ivy over to me."

"I will, once I get the money."

"I can only give you 1.5 million, for now, Holly. I will have to verify her identity before I can pay you the rest," he said. "I am definitely not going to waste my money on a fake. Should she be an imposter, I will take back everything I have paid you as well."

Ivy raised an eyebrow. "And how will you verify her identity? How will you even get close to Avery and Elliot?"

"I will find a way. It's not your place to worry about that! Besides, their daughter must at least look somewhat like them, right?"

"Of course. She looks like Avery. Didn't I just show you the photo?"

"Can you show it to me again? I didn't get a close enough look."

Holly leaned back against the couch and unlocked her phone as she contemplated whether she wanted to show the photo to Dean again.

Just then, she received a message from the bank, notifying her that the transaction was successful.

"Mr. Jennings, what's the point of staring at a photo when you can see her in person?" Overjoyed at receiving the payment, Holly stood up from the couch.

Dean sneered. "So you got the money, right? I always keep my word, so don't you dare try to trick me. Bridgedale is my territory, and you can't win against me."

Holly walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his. "What are you talking about, Mr. Jennings? I would never dare to make such a deal with you if I didn't have her. 1.5 million isn't a small amount, and I don't have the courage to scam so much out of you!"

"Where is Ivy? Is she here?"

"You must be joking! Of course, she isn't here. This is a nightclub. It would be inappropriate for me to keep a toddler here."

"Where, then?" Dean followed Holly out through another exit.

"You will know once you are there. It's a remote area, so you probably haven't heard of it. Besides, you have your bodyguards, and a woman like me surely can't beat them. You couldn't possibly be concerned that I am trying to harm you, could you?" Holly led Dean out the back door, where Hayden's men spotted them from afar.
