Nadine lay on the sofa, her face sinking further into the cushions.

She showed no unwillingness. Instead, her eyes were filled with fury. She said, “Unless you kill me, I won’t provide you with any of Fowler House’s sales information.”

A woman had challenged Adrian’s authority for the first time. He would have killed her without the slightest hesitation if she were any other criminal, but he currently could not find the slightest blemish on her other than her being Chase’s niece. Thus, he could not kill her.

However, it was rather difficult to handle a feisty woman with a temperament such as Nadine’s.

“Are you sure you won’t tell me?” Adrian did not remove his leg from Nadine’s face as he looked at the woman laying underneath his foot arrogantly from above.

Nadine was rendered incapable of doing anything. Her face was scrunched up as she answered, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell you anything and Wyvern Peak will never rise again. Even if you kill me, you won’t get any information.”

Nadine’s determination posed a problem for Adrian. However, he was the legate and would never allow himself to be daunted by a woman.

Adrian removed his foot upon hearing Nadine’s remark. She felt slightly more at ease but she did not have the courage to budge. She remained lying on the sola

Adrian said back down and said nonchalantly, “Mya, send someone to find Fowler House’s sales record from ten years ago. Do it even if we have to dig underground. Hand it to me once it’s found.”

“Yes, sir.” Mya accepted the task and quickly left with her subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Nadine jumped up and shouted, “You’re not allowed to do that! That is Fowler House’s privacy! What the heck do you want, Legate?!”

Adrian poured himself a glass of water and blew on the tepid water. He looked up at Nadine and said, “If I find out that you’ve been deliberately concealing this matter, you will die once my investigation is complete.”

Nadine said, “Every item sold by Fowler House was done above board. You don’t have the right to intervene with our sales.”

Adrian said, “I only want to acquire the information related to the book from ten years ago. However, my patience with you

run out. I’ve encountered plenty of ungrateful people in my life.”

Nadine was stunned for a moment. Her current personality was no longer the same as when Adrian first arrived after discovering that the legate was completely different from what she imagined him to be.

She knew much about the legate. In fact, she had even fantasized about him, but he was completely different from her fantasies. She never expected the legate to be so rough and have zero compassion for women.

“Can you tell me what’s your purpose in looking for this book? What are you investigating? If you’re trying to investigate Fowler House, you won’t find any skeletons in the closet.”

“So are you willing to talk to me now?” Adrian took a sip of water.

Nadine sat upright on the sofa. She knew now that Adrian would stop at nothing and she could not help but feel scared.

She answered, “You’ll have to tell me what you’re up to first.”

Adrian chuckled. “You’ve already lost the chance to ask me questions. You’ll be the one answering my questions now.

“Who provided Heroes of Wyvern Peak to the auction? Who did you action it off to? How much was it sold for?”

“I need to know all this.”

Nadine pondered for a moment and said, “I was still in university ten years ago and wasn’t managing Fowler House yet. I have a recollection of this matter you speak of, but I can’t remember it well now. Give me some time to recall ”
