“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 aslding 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 Walter Geil However, he’s already dead.”

Nadine relented at last.

“Walter Gell? Who’s that?”

“He was a farmer from Citromud Ville and the book was passed down in his family for generations. My grandfather

discovered the book when he was on an expedition in Cirromud Ville and bought the book off Walter for seven hundred and

five thousand dollars.”

“What happened afterward?” Adrian asked further.

“Afterward, my grandfather kept the book as part of his collection for a few years. He then put it up for auction at Fowler House. It was bought by a businessman from Murcia for thirty million dollars.”

“What is the name of this businessman from Muricia?

“Wyatt Raven”

“Wyatt Raven?”

Adrian fell silent for a moment upon hearing that name. He then raised his head and said, “Is he a member of the Raven family?”

The Raven family was a powerful family in Muricia, and he had experienced dealing with them in the past.

Nadine shook her head. “I’m not too sure about that. It is possible that he’s a part of the Raven family. This is all I know. What else do you want?”

Adrian asked, “Have you ever read the content’s book?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“You must be joking. I was only twenty years old a decade ago and was still in university. How could I possibly have read it? Also, Fowler House used to be managed by my grandfather. How would I know

its contents?”

“In other words, your grandfather has read the book,” Adrian stated.

“That is highly plausible but I regret to inform you that he passed away five years ago. Otherwise, Fowler House wouldn’t have been thrown to me. In truth, I’m just working for the fandly.

How important can

ter ho?” Nadine asked.

In her opinion, it was just a book. However, Adrian received a piece of information from Nadine’s story that infuriated him. He needed to verily this information further.

Adrian said, “If your grandfather had read the book, I believe that he would’ve left something behind. I need you to take me to

your family home to look for your grandfather’s belongings that he left behind or the books that he had read.”

“You must be joking.” Nadine stood up. “Don’t push it, sir. I’ve already told you what I should have, and you now insist on me taking you to my home? Don’t you know that you’re putting me in a tight spot?

“Also, both you and I will die if my uncle finds out about this. I’m taking a huge risk by telling you any of this. My uncle is going to kill me.”
