Chapter 613
A dense musty and humid smell came out from within.
The secret room was not big, to begin with. In fact, it could not even fit a single person inside. However, there was a rectangular little table with a book sitting on it, covered by a piece of tarpaulin.
Adrian took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the book, while Nadine seemed filled with shock and anxiously wanted to open it up
After flipping through a couple of pages, Adrian said, “This is a copy written in pen by your grandfather. I believe it’s Heroes of Wyvern Peak that was auctioned off at Fowler House.”
Nadine became even more eager when she heard this “Hurry up and take a look at what’s inside.”
Adrian nodded and was just about to take a better look at its contents when he suddenly heard a voice say, “What’s going on here?! What the f*ck are you guys doing on the floor?! Are you all dozing off?!
“Get up! Get up right now!”
Adrian immediately turned his flashlight off when he heard the voice. The next shift of guards must have found the unconscious ones in the courtyard.
Nadine then said, “They’ve found them! They’re going to tell them we’re in here!”
Adrian pulled her hand. “Relax. They won’t remember anything when they wake up. I was rather rough on them earlier so they should be suffering from temporary concussions.
“Come on, let’s go!”
Adrian stowed away the book and placed the pen on the bookshelf back where it belonged. The trapdoor closed up once again. After that, he grabbed Nadine and exited the study.
At that moment, Daniel’s voice could be heard from the communicator. “Sir their systems are back online. You two need to get out of there immediately. You’ve got three minutes at most before their surveillance systems are operational again.”
“Okay, we’re leaving!”
After that, Adrian grabbed Nadine’s hand and said, “Come on!”
Nadine hurried down the stairs with Adrian and fell silent for a moment when she saw the coffin downstairs. She then looked at Adrian and asked, “Do you think that’s really my father?”
“You’ll find out someday, but for now, we have to go!”
Without saying anything more, the pair dashed out of the villa and disappeared from the rear courtyard.
The Gardner family’s Internet kicked back into gear shortly after they left and the surveillance cameras were back online.
Adrian and Nadine arrived at the latter’s house a few minutes later.
He was not planning on entering her house anymore, so he said, “I have to go now, Nadine.”
Nadine pursed her lips, clearly a little reluctant to see him leave. She grabbed his hand and seemed aggrieved as she said, “Dut
I don’t want you to go… I want you to stay here with me. I like being with you. I liled it when you stepped on me
“Will we see each other again?”
She knew Adrian did not belong with her, but still asked anyway. After all, he was the man she thought was most unique among all others
However, Late was not on their side.
Adrian reached out to stroke her hair and smiled as he said, “Let’s not get all sappy now. I believe w

each other again. Very soon, in fact.”
Nadine took out her phone and said, “Could you leave me your number? I don’t want you to forget to tell me what the contents of the book are.”
Sure enough, Adrian gave her his phone number.
“Live your life well and true, okay? You and your mother should leave the family if you have a chance. I’ll call you if something happens.” Adrian made a gesture as he spoke and was just about to leave, but Nadine grabbed his hand once more.
“Wait.”
“What’s the matter?”
“C–Could you kiss me please?”
“No.”
