Chapter 771 Too Deep In

Sharon looked at his face and asked with trepidation. “W- What booster shot?”

Adrien snickered at her. “You don’t need to know. Just wait for it.”

Sharon was about to ask something more when she saw a fleeting resentment on Adrien’s face. The next second, Adrien requested his men to send her away. He sneered with a disdainful look on his face as Sharon left.

Peter felt puzzled and came up to Adrien. “Uncle Adrien, why are you helping her if you hate her?”

“You think I’m helping her?” Adrien smoked a cigarette and chuckled.

“Haven’t you been helping her get out of trouble? Isn’t this helping her?” Peter shrugged amusedly.

He looked down and smoothened the creases of his pant legs. “No. What I want is death for everyone in the Case family.” Adrien said in an emotionless yet sinister voice.

It startled Peter, who now found his uncle more and more strange.

Realizing that he had frightened Peter, Adrien quickly looked up at him without the earlier sinister look but a touch of avuncularity on his face. “By the way, didn’t you

have something to see me? What is it?”

Embarrassed, Peter stared at Adrien and said, “M–My bracelet….”

Adrien chuckled. “It seems you care quite a bit about what your mother left you.”

Peter’s face changed at the mention of this. “Not that I care about what she left me; I’m just afraid I’m slowly forgetting my hatred for her.”

Adrien looked at the resentment in his eyes for a long while, then handed out the bracelet. “Keep it well.” His fingers were unconsciously rubbing the curvature of the inside of the bracelet, feeling the familiar and long-lost sensation of roundness he longed for.

Peter overlooked Adrien’s lapse of mind as he took the bracelet.

Adrien smiled sadly as the bracelet left his hand. Just then, he glimpsed the scratch marks on Peter’s neck. He sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and said to Peter with a serious face. “You are still young, Peter. Women are not the entirety of your life. Don’t ruin your career for a woman.”

Peter was looking at the bracelet to see if it was damaged when he heard this. He frowned, feeling not too happy. Uncle Adrien, aren’t you the one who said we should fight for whatever we want? Even if a woman’s heart is not with us, we must own the woman?”

“I

“That is true, but only if you don’t get caught up in it yourself.” Adrien looked at him with concern.

But Peter was in a depressed mood. “I’m not caught up in it. When I tire of her, I will pull out.”

“Okay, just remember that. Don’t try to win her over if a woman’s heart is not with you. If you get too deep in, you will only hurt yourself.”

“I got it.” Peter did not want to hear these words. He turned around and left. As he put the bracelet on his wrist, he suddenly remembered Kisa’s strange behavior toward him the other day. He frowned and looked back at Adrien. “By the way, Kisa asked me about the bracelet the other day. Do you know what it was about?”

“Oh…” Adrien smiled faintly at him. “I have asked; she said she mistook it as something she was looking for.”

“What is she looking for?”

Adrien shrugged with a faint smile. “Who knows? Probably something like a bracelet, too.”

Peter asked no more questions. As soon as Peter left, Jensen came out of the pantry and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a sneer. “I wonder if he will understand your good intentions.” Adrien looked at him, his face turning frosty. Jensen snickered and continued. “Don’t look at me like that. Don’t worry. I won’t say a word that I shouldn’t.”

This afternoon, Kisa had just finished shooting a scene and was taking a break in the chair when Lea suddenly

ran over.
