NovelOnlineShe could not help but think of Sebastian.
If Dean had obtained information on Ivy's whereabouts, Sebastian would know as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe remembered how she had refused Sebastian's invitation for a meal, and how upset he had been. Avery knew that he was upset, but she did not bother to explain herself.
She wanted to contact Sebastian because she was desperate to know more about Ivy, but she was not sure if Sebastian would talk to her.
Dean would never provide her with any information, so she had to try her luck with Sebastian. So, she sent him a message. [I will buy you dinner the next tyou cto Aryadelle.] It was daytin Bridgedale, and Sebastian sent her a reply shortly after receiving her message. [I was right beside my dad when you called him.] No explanations were needed to understand the contempt he felt for her. He understood why she had contacted him.
As she had anticipated, another message from Sebastian followed. [You are so calculative, Avery. You are only willing to talk towhen you can use me, and when I am no longer of value to you, you ignoreand treatas you would a stranger. Your hypocrisy is disgusting.] Avery's cheeks flared as she read his message, and she did not know if Sebastian was right, but she did know that that was how things must have looked from his perspective.
After a few thoughtful moments, she replied. [I am thankful for your help, and I am willing to help you when you are in trouble. Your father is the reason I do not want to get too close to you. You know exactly why I'm keeping my distance, so why pretend like you are unaware of it? Your father is about to scam people out of their money by using a technology that doesn't even exist. Not only are you not stopping him, but you are sitting around waiting to benefit from it as well. I don't approve of such behavior.] [If you don't approve of my behavior, why bother messaging me?] [Your dad said he knows where Ivy is. Is that true? I feel like he might be lying to me.] [If you textedto only find out if what he said was the truth, then letassure you that it is. There's no pointin him lying to you about something this important.] S Avery took a deep breath and replied. [How did you find her? Is she in Bridgedale?] [I'm afraid waiting can't tell you. I am my dad to succeed sovet for can benefit from it'. I might ruin his Plan if I tell you this.] S [I'm sorry, Sebastian. I didn't intend to mock you.] [Why bother apologizing? I am exactly who you think I am. I wouldn't be tolerating Dean's daily lectures if I was not after his money.] Avery stared at his message and was not sure how to reply.
Sebastian had made himself clear: he was waiting for his turn to inherit the Jennings family's wealth and the more Dean earned, the more he would gain, so Sebastian was not about to tell her anything about Ivy. She set her phone down next to her pillow and decided to go back to sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTwo minutes after she closed her eyes, the screen on her phone lit up, and she immediately unlocked her phone.
It was a message from Sebastian.
[We found Holly Blanche. You remember her, right? She was the one who sent you and Elliot down that basement in Ylore.] Avery's fingers tightened around the phone.
Another message cin.
[Holly knows where Ivy is. I guess it's okay to tell you this much. After all, my dad is meeting her tomorrow.]
