Avery did not respond.

After a moment of silence, Avery explained, "Your brother didn't say that you are behind it, but he mentioned that someone planned the "accident" to get him killed. I don't know anyone else other than you in the Jennings family." "What do you mean, you don't know anyone else?" Sebastian did not accept the explanation. "You should know Angela, right? I still remember how shocked you were when I mentioned her name. If you didn't know her, you would have asked who she was and why she was with my father... but you didn't ask a thing." "I am confused, too. Angela went to our school to look for Professor Hough before, yet your dad says that he met Angela the first tat a party the Jennings family held. Have you really not seen her before at school?" Avery asked.
"Avery, that's not important-" "I feel like nothing any of you said is true," she said. "Are you all wary ofbecause you don't wantto find Elliot?" "I don't know what my father and brother think. We might be a family, but we are not as united as you think we are. I was only introduced to the family after reaching adulthood... So trust me, what I tell you has a higher chance of being true compared to what my father is telling you." "So were you behind the car accident your brother was in, then?" "No," he answered without hesitation. "If it was me, my father wouldn't hand my brother's assets over to me. I would have been dead by now if I was behind it...
Probably severely maimed, if not dead." Avery kept quiet when she heard this.
Sebastian's words had shaken her view on the entire situation.
My brother told him that someone s after him. Haha! Why would he ell you that? Avery Tate, what kind .n of sorcery are you working to convince even someone as timid as ny brother to confess to you?" he sked in confusion. Content belongs englishShe remained stunned. "You said that what your brother said was true :g&=TIV> that you are not behind it, so who was it?" "Answer my question first, before I answer yours," he insisted, seemingly certain that Avery would answer his question in order to get answers to hers.

"But he didn't takeup on my offer." "Haha! You are hilarious, Avery! Did my brother laugh when you say that?" Sebastian's sarcastic laugh pierced through her ears and she tightened her grip on the phone. "No. Not only did he not laugh, but he was also livid." "Oh... Livid, huh? Of course, he was livid, because you... can't cure him," he said and started laughing again Once he was done, he asked, "After all that I've said, you still haven't figured out who got him into this state?" "Angela?" Avery guessed.
"... I thought you were smart! I'm surprised that you are such a moron," he said, before hanging up.
Avery stared at her phone in stunned silence.
Avery was rather tired before the call, but now, not only was she no longer sleepy, her heart was filled with anger for being called a 'moron' by a coxcomb like Sebastian.
