His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2166

"Sebastian, sometimes the mere concept of something is enough to earn you a fortune. I don't actually need them to replicate Angela's reach completely. As long as they manage to recreate a close-enough shell of what it actually is, we can sell it." Dean smiled triumphantly.

"So how did the meeting go with Angela's team, then? What did they say?" Sebastian's heart sank. If the team had comprehended Angela's research fully, Dean would have the power to blackmail Avery and Elliot; but if they weren't fully familiarized with how the device worked, Dean would not be able to control the two.

"Only one of them came today and I just had a brief talk with him." Dean leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. "He said that Angela had only exposed each of them to different parts of the whole research so we won't succeed unless we get everyone in that team on board."

"I knew Angela would not let anyone near the core information of her research." Sebastian quietly sighed a breath of relief, knowing that for now, his father would not be able to do anything to Elliot and Avery.

No matter who would win in this tug of war, Sebastian would hate to see them going against one another.

"Sebastian, you won’t be telling Avery this, right?" Dean’s eyes snapped open as he stared at Sebastian hysterically. "If you dare to tell anyone what I said just now, don't doubt for a moment that I will kill you!

Terrified, Sebastian shook his head frantically. "Dad, I've cut all ties with Avery. Ever since they scammed our family of 2.1 billion, I came to realize that Avery and I are not on the same side."

"If you didn't realize that after what happened, you aren't worthy enough to be my heir!" Dean said sternly. "Sebastian, everything you have right now is yours because of me! I cast your brother aside, but don't overestimate how important you are to me because of that! If you dare to work against me, I would rather not have an heir! I've worked all my life to prove myself and I didn't accumulate my wealth to build a legacy or anything! Frankly, 1 don't care if you all live or die! I don't care about what happened to the Jennings family after my death. All I am going to do is to enjoy my life in the present!"

Dean had a different mindset compared to most parents. Sebastian had known from the very beginning that though he was the only heir in the Jennings family, the definition of an heir for him was different from others' thoughts because Dean didn't treat him any differently.

"Dad, I'm not that foolish," Sebastian responded in all seriousness. "I don’t want to go back to living in poverty anymore."

"As long as you know your place. Without me and the Jennings family, you are nothing!"

"Yes.”

"We are on the same boat here and you need to start learning how to make money from me." After being rushed to the hospital, Dean had a slight change of mind. Back when he had Angela by his side, she would feed him medicine that kept him energetic every single day, so he was absorbed in the illusion that he could live forever. Since the day Angela died, he could distinctly feel how his health had declined.

"Okay. I will work hard to not bring shame to your name," Sebastian said and was suddenly reminded of Natalie as he spoke." Did you send anyone to look for Natalie?"

"She ran back to Arydalle." Naturally, Dean did not intend to let Natalie live. No matter where she ran to, he vowed to bring her back and make her pay for scamming him.

"If she can't survive in Bridgedale, her situation won't be any better in Aryadelle." Sebastian couldn’t figure out what Natalie's next step would be.
