"Mom, once I find Dean Jennings, I'll call you. It's late. I won't call you tonight," Hayden said. "Sleep early. Don't stay up for someone like him. Even if he is dead, he deserved it."
"Hmm. I'm not worried about him. His son just told me that he couldn't find him. I thought there might be some progress on the case." Avery only wanted to know if there was any news about Ivy. She was slightly more nervous because of Ivy.
"If there is any news about Ivy, I will immediately tell you," Hayden said.
"Okay."
After hanging up, Avery looked at Elliot. "Dean had arranged to meet with Holly today, but he left the premise with another woman. I find this all too strange."
Elliot found it strange too. "Could the woman be someone Holly sent?"
"Now that you mentioned it, it might be, but even if Dean is meeting with Holly, he should still be able to answer his phone, right?" Avery asked another question, "No matter how you see it, Dean should hold all the power. Holly is just a fugitive from Ylore. How would she be capable of controlling Dean?"
"Without knowing what happened, it is hard to make a guess," Elliot said.
"Hmm. I'll return Sebastian's call." Avery called Sebastian.
Sebastian had calmed down a little.
"Sebastian, I've asked around, and we don't know where your father is. At this point, we only know that your father has left with an unknown woman from a club." Avery said to him, "Didn't he go and meet Holly? Why did he leave with another woman."
"That person is Holly," Sebastian said. "Holly had plastic surgery."
Avery was confused.
"I've seen her. She said she was Holly. She had plastic surgery to evade you," Sebastian said.
