Chapter 593

Meanwhile, Adrian had just left the Dean family home when he received Nadine’s call.

He said, “How’s everything, Ms. Nadine?”

Perhaps it was due to the dream she had last night, Nadine’s face blushed ever so slightly when she heard Adrian’s voice. She answered, “It’s done. Where are you now? I’ll pick you up and we can go over together.”

“Let’s meet at Southrive Avenue,” Adrian suggested.

“Okay.”

Ten minutes later, Adrian arrived at Southrive Avenue. Nadine was already waiting by the roadside. He got out of his car, walked to Nadine’s, and got in

Nadine’s feminine scent permeated the car. Adrian noticed that she was all dressed up, wearing a red bodycon dress that accentuated her figure. However, he merely took a glance before shifting his gaze to the scenery outside.

Noticing the situation, Nadine furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. “Hey, are you that disgusted by the sight of me? Will it kill you to take one more glance at me? I put on my nicest outfit today to meet you, you know. I highly doubt you’re even Interested in women now.

Adrian tilted his head and looked at Nadine. “I’ve been around.”

Nadine was stunned and had no idea what Adrian meant by his remark. She decided not to inquire further, instead saying, “I sought my mother’s help but you’re going to have to pretend to be my boyfriend after this. Otherwise, you won’t be able to enter the family home.

“Also, does Uncle Chase lanow what you look like?”

Adrian shook his head. “I’ve never appeared to anyone from Internal Affairs with my real appearance unless that person is about to die soon, so don’t worry. Your uncle has only seen me in my battle suit with my face concealed and has never seen what I look like.”

Nadine was relieved. “Great. You have to follow all my instructions from now on. Go get some gifts later and enter the family home with me as my boyfriend. Also, you may not necessarily be able to find what you’re looking for even if you’re there.”

“Why?” asked Adrian.

“Uncle Chase locked up my grandfather’s residence and no one can enter the place. It’s heavily guarded and even cleaning staff have to register upon entering. Moreover, the place is monitored by surveillance cameras. You’ll be noticed if you try to enter.”

“Why would your uncle do such a thing?”

Nadine thought about it and said, “I thought about it last night but I can’t figure it out either.

Adrian said, “In truth, the reason is simple. He’s looking for something in your grandfather’s residence but has yet to find it and is afraid that someone else will acquire this item. Hence, he locked up the residence so that he could slowly look for it.”

“I thought so too but it’s not true. My grandfather’s residence isn’t huge and ray uncle would’ve already combed through every comer of the place over the years. Even if the item were a needle, he would

have found it by now.”

“That may not necessarily be the case,” said Adrian.

“Why?” Nadine asked.

“If your grandfather didn’t want someone to find this item yet didn’t want to destroy it, then his only choice would be to hide it in a spot that no one would stumble across lait yet would find it if they were holding.”

“Aren’t you contradicting yourself there? The house is only that big. Where else would he hide something?“”

Adrian said, “Just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Contradiction is the one trait that all humans share at times.”
