Chapter 592
Nadine went one whole circle until she arrived back at this topic.
Carlene glanced at Nadine a few times before asking, “What prompted you to ask this?”
Nadine made up an excuse. “Something happened at Fowler House today and I failed to handle the situation well. Grandfather used to be the one who handled this situation in the past. So it got me thinking about what Grandfather would have done if he
was there.”
Carlene pondered for a moment. She did not think too long before she said to Nadine, “Do your best in handling the matter since you’re already on it. You shouldn’t be looking for a way to quick success and instant benefits.”
“Yes, I know. Tell me about Grandfather, quick” Nadine urged.
“He did leave behind quite a number of things before he passed away and they’re all stored in his residence. However, your Uncle Chase has already locked up his residence and no one is allowed to enter.
“The cleaning staff are allowed to enter the house daily for cleaning works but Chase set the rule that no one is allowed to touch anything. Moreover, the place is under full surveillance with not a single blindspot to be found,” Carlene said.
Nadine was astonished ‘So, Uncle Chase cares about Grandfather’s house that much, huh?”
She then asked, “Mother, not even you or the other uncles can enter?
Carlene nodded. “Yes. No one is allowed to enter if it’s not an official matter, including your uncles and aunts. You know that Chase is the head of the family. Anyone who wishes to enter needs to apply with him. If someone enters without permission and breaks the family rule, the person will be punished accordingly.”
“What did Grandfather keep in his residence? Does Uncle Chase have to go as far as to guard the house this tightly?”
“Your grandfather loved collecting antiques, paintings, and old books when be was alive. I believe Chase wishes to preserve them. Hence, your grandfather’s residence looks exactly the same as when he was alive,” Carlene explained.
‘But I feel that there’s something fishy about this,” Nadine said, “If he’s only doing this to protect Grandfather’s collection, all of it is unnecessary. Is it because there’s something important in Grandfather’s house that Uncle Chase hasn’t managed to find, so he locked up the place to search for it slowly?”
Carlene shook her head. “I’m not too sure about that. All in all, that’s all that I know. Also, don’t ever go there. Otherwise, what’s going to happen if you were to get in trouble?
“Your father is gone and we live in the family home with only each other to depend on. Everything will be fine as long as we fulfill our duties and keep our heads down. If we do something that we shouldn’t do, Chase will punish us.”
Nadine nodded. “I understand.”
Carlene said, “All right, it’s getting late. You should go to bed early. Also, don’t forget what you promised me. Bring your boyfriend home to meet me tomorrow. I will be calling your first uncle now so you can just bring him in right away when he’s
here.”
“I promise,” Nadine said.
The mother and daughter stopped talking, and Nadine headed upstairs.
Nadine had trouble sleeping the whole night. She tossed and turned on the bed but she could not fall asleep
Her mind was filled with thoughts about Adrian. She had no idea why but she felt as if she had been conquered by the ma, especially when she was crushed under his foot. She found the man majestic for no apparent reason.
Nadine loathed other men’s eagerness. Yet, she found herself conquered by a powerful man like Adrian, so much so that he was in her dreams when she finally fell asleep
The next day, Nadine left the family home when she woke up and drove to Fowler House. She called Adrian on her way there.
