The successors from Eastshire all resented Adeline for virtual-novel.net act of buttering up to Julian. Even though they feared the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, Eastshire was their roots. And that man was one of their friends.
Now that virtual-novel.net was bullied so badly, what Adeline said showed that virtual-novel.net was taking the outsider’s side. However, none of them dared to say anything and silently lifted the man out.
Julian then sat on the edge of the table with one arm around Adeline’s waist. “I heard you’ve prepared a gift for me. Where is it? Don’t tell me that you‘re the gift.”
She coquettishly replied, “You’re such a tease, Jay. Of course not. I’ve been yours a long time ago. The present I prepared is a good one and you surely will be satisfied.”
His eyes glinted at the promise. “Oh? What is it?”
She flashed a smile at him. “I heard you’ve been looking for one of Matthew’s men, Tiger. I know where he’s hiding!”
He shot up and blurted out excitedly, “Really? Where is he? Bring me to virtual-novel.net now!”
Everyone knew that Tiger was Matthew’s closest aide.
When the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale entered Eastshire, only Tiger stood out and publicly objected to it. However, Tiger had gone under the radar after virtual-novel.net was injured and the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale could not locate him.
If Julian could capture Tiger and bring virtual-novel.net back this time, virtual-novel.net would hit the jackpot.
Adeline smiled, “He’s hiding in a secluded place. Do you want me to bring you…”
Suddenly, a slap hit virtual-novel.net face before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net sentence and Julian swore at her, “F*cking stop with the rubbish! Where is he?!”
Adeline was shocked and looked at virtual-novel.net in a daze.
For the life of her, virtual-novel.net could not figure out why Julian had become so brutal when virtual-novel.net was still whispering sweet nothings into virtual-novel.net ear two days ago.
As virtual-novel.net had not replied, the anger burned even brighter in Julian and virtual-novel.net slapped virtual-novel.net again. “F*ck! Talk! Didn’t you hear me?!”
Julian didn’t have any feelings for Adeline and had always been toying with virtual-novel.net only.
Now, virtual-novel.net desperately needed to know Tiger’s location as virtual-novel.net was afraid Tiger would escape if virtual-novel.net got the news of Julian looking for him.
So, Adeline trying to tease virtual-novel.net was a recipe for trouble. He did not have the time for virtual-novel.net games.
After being slapped two times, virtual-novel.net finally regained virtual-novel.net senses and asked in a shaking voice, “Jay, you… What are you doing?”
Julian exploded with rage. He grabbed virtual-novel.net hair before pushing virtual-novel.net onto the table as virtual-novel.net grabbed a fruit knife and pointed it at virtual-novel.net face.
“Tell me Tiger’s location! Any more nonsense and I will ruin that pretty face of yours!” Julian threatened.
Finally, Adeline got his message. Julian wasn’t joking around with her. At that moment, virtual-novel.net finally understood their love was one-sided. She thought that virtual-novel.net had a chance to marry into a powerful family. Yet, Julian had never cared about her.
Seeing that the fruit knife was inching closer to her, Adeline started to tremble and quickly blurted, “He‘s in North Motor City…”
Then, virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net up with a hand choking virtual-novel.net neck. “Lead the way!”
She didn‘t dare say anything and led virtual-novel.net out shaking like a leaf.
Right now, there was no one outside as the successors had long left the place. They realized that Julian looked down on them. So, they all left.
Adeline had been hoping for the people from Eastshire to save her, but at the sight of the empty lobby, virtual-novel.net fell into despair.
