Perhaps it was because she had exerted too much strength at the airport a moment ago. Right now, she felt exhausted and dizzy.
She wanted to quickly rescue Elliot, even if it meant sacrificing her life. However, without any proof, she did not know where Elliot was being hidden. It was difficult to make the next step.
A long time later, her phone suddenly rang, pulling her back to reality. She stiffly took her phone and picked up the call. 1
"Avery, I heard that you were stabbed by my brother. Are you alright? My dad called me to his place this evening. I have just reached home." Sebastian had wanted to call her sooner, but it was inconvenient to do so while was at his father's place.
"Rather than say that it was your brother who stabbed me, you should say that your dad wants me dead," Avery's tone was cold.
"I know. Angela was chatting with me tonight. She teased me and told me to pay more attention to Natalie. She said that my dad likes her a lot. He praised her for being smart and capable. I don't know how Natalie has managed to get into my Dad's good books. You should know her better, right?" Sebastian asked.
Avery was a little agitated. Her finger accidentally pressed the mute button. 4 "I do indeed know her better! She's ambitious, sinister, and evil! Elliot had rejected her advances, and so she committed her murder. She even wants me dead, so that she can take Tate Industries for herself. Elliot and I almost died in Ylore because of her!"
At that, the pain came from her injuries once more. She used too much force in talking, accidentally pulling on her injuries. She gasped in pain.
"Avery... why are you not talking? Am I interrupting your rest? It is quite late now. Why don't I talk to you in person tomorrow?" Avery froze when he hears what he said. It was as if someone had cast a spell on her. She was quickly thinking things through.
What a familiar scenario! She was talking to Sebastian loudly, yet he did not hear her! She immediately looked at her phone to see the call. She noticed that the mute button was on. She had accidentally pressed the mute button.
She gasped =g'
