The Return of the War Legate Chapter 581
Before Fraser could speak any further, the sound of footsteps came from downstairs.Soon after, Adrian and the others arrived in the living room of Nadine’s private residence.Fraser’s expression froze. “Miss, they’re here...”Nadine looked unbothered as Adrian took a seat in the living room and casually rifled through the magazine on the coffee table.Donald said, “Ms. Nadine, Wyvern Peak’s specially-assigned personnel is here to see you. Please come out to meet them.”Fraser walked out first. He observed Adrian seated on the sofa with a tense expression. He said, “Sir, please wait a moment. Ms. Nadine is getting changed inside and will be here shortly.”Adrian waited. In less than ten minutes, Nadine walked out of her boudoir in a bright red gown and red strappy heels.She was astonished ever so slightly by the sight of Adrian.“You’re a handsome one,” she commented.Adrian glanced at Nadine. She looked amused.Taking a seat across from Adrian, she asked, “What’s going on w
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 582
The heiress of the Gardner family had unique foresight and a keen eye, able to easily discern those who are of capable means.But judging by her attitude, she appeared to not be taking the matter seriously.Mya was furious. In view of her temper, she would most certainly give Nadine a few slaps if Adrian was not around.However, it was apparent that Adrian planned to ignore Nadine’s remark. “I don’t wish to repeat myself. I’d like to look into Fowler House’s sales record from about ten years ago.”“Could you be a little gentler with your words?” Nadine assumed a coy mannerism.Adrian said, “I said it before. Don’t make me repeat myself.”Nadine was no fool either. She did not have the courage to misbehave anymore upon sensing Adrian’s determination. She flipped her hair and sat back down.“You may look at Fowler House’s sales records but according to the rules, you’ll have to show evidence of Internal Affairs’ permission. Even though you’re War Legate Draco, you still need to fo

Adrian would not have dissolved Wyvern Peak if he could not stand losing.He would not have dismissed his own people if he had not considered that the country would be in chaos because of them. It was just that his actions were regarded as losing to Chase in the eyes of outsiders.Mya wanted to say something but Adrian stopped her.He looked at Nadine and said, “Ms. Nadine, you may think that you’re right about everything but I’d like to remind you that there is also more than one side to a story. You’re in charge of Fowler, so I believe that you have better foresight than others.“I don’t wish to discuss anything else with you today. I just want to find out who purchased the book Fowler House auctioned off in the past and what were the contents of that book.”Nadine shook her head. She exhaled a deep breath and sneered at Adrian. “Dream on, Legate. I won’t tell you that. You won’t be getting any answers out of me.”In truth, Nadine was very curious about Adrian's purpose in inve

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.”Na

“You may think about it and tell me when you’re done thinking.”“You will have to leave so that I can calm my head and think about it properly,” Nadine said.“Didn’t you suggest having a chat in your room earlier? Now that there are only both of us here, we may have that chat.”Upon hearing this, Nadine sneered., “If you want to take me, you have my consent. But if you just want to fool around with me, I have my dignity.”“Let’s just stick to business,” Adrian said.“I have no idea really.” Nadine put on a weak facade and said in a pleading tone, “I’m begging you, sir. I really have no clue about this matter. You can either leave or you can sleep with me and consider that as my compensation to you.“Will you just please stop asking me about this already?”Adrian did not respond. However, she could tell from his expression that he had no intention of leaving.Noticing his unyielding attitude, Nadine inhaled a deep breath and said, “Fine. The person who provided the book is named
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 586
Even though Nadine was a Gardner, she was on the lowest branch of the family tree.Chase was the one in full control and had the highest authority over the Gardners. His words carried all the weight in the family and he had no regard for people’s lives, only caring about profits.The reason why Nadine was reluctant to tell Adrian before was that she was afraid Chase would find out she had revealed the truth to Adrian. If Chase found out about this, he would surely beat her within an inch of her life even if he spared her.“Sir, please, I’m begging you to let me off the hook. This is all that I can tell you. If I were to continue, Uncle Chase would surely kill me. I’m still young and have yet to enjoy the pleasures of being with a man. I don’t want to die yet.”Nadine turned to pleading. After interacting with Adrian, she discovered that the man was a total blockhead who was completely immune to beautiful women. All he cared about was his Wyvern Peak.She even began to wonder how A

The journey took five hours and a few hundred kilometers.Nadine had no idea where Adrian was taking her. She tried to ask, but he gave no reply.After driving into the mountain forest, Nadine could not hold back anymore. She said to Adrian with a frown, “Stop the car. I’m about to wet myself.”Adrian instantly stopped the car. Nadine turned her head and looked at the surroundings. “Not a single toilet is to be found in this desolated mountain. Where am I supposed to do my business?”“There’s no one in the forest so no one will see you if you go in the bush,” Adrian said.“Are you even human?” Nadine asked.“You may consider me as not human. Go, but keep an eye out. There are poisonous snakes here.”“Where the heck are we?”“Mount Syrax.”“Why did you take me here?”“Are you going or not? We’re leaving if you’re not.”Nadine swiftly dove behind a bush and her eyes darted about out of fear of finding animals or insects underneath her. She freaked out for nothing.She returne
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 588
In the next moment, Nadine shifted her astounded gaze to Adrian.War Legate Draco’s real name was Adrian Xander, and many of the people buried in this cemetery had the name ‘Adrian Xander’ as well.It was as if there was some sort of pattern—a huge scheme hidden within.Nadine was in complete shock at this very moment. She suddenly found that everything was not as simple as she had imagined them to be. She said in a daze, “Your name is Adrian Xander? What’s up with all this then? Why do so many of the deceased here share the same first and last names as you?”This was no coincidence.Adrian smiled and took a seat on the ground outside the cemetery. Nadine stood by his side and lowered her head to look at him.He said, “All the Adrians here were not killed on the same day or even the same year. After roughly over twenty years, so many people who shared the same name as me are now dead.”“Why is that?” asked Nadine in confusion.Adrian raised his head and looked at her. “Do you s
