Chapter 601
Nadine turned around and saw eight youngsters—both men and women—walking into the courtyard one after another.One of the young men’s names was Louis Gardner, her cousin. In fact, most of these youngsters were Nadine’s cousins from the Gardner family.“What are you all doing here?” Nadine asked curiously as she watched Louis and the others walk in.Louis smirked when he heard this. The group stood before Nadine as he said, “I heard from Aunt Carlene that you brought your boyfriend today. This is him, right?“Felix was furious when he heard about it. After all, you clearly know he’s been trying to pursue you, right?”As Louis spoke, the others next to him were carefully scanning Adrian from top to bottom. Nadine frowned and turned toward a young man next to Louis. The man was Felix, hailing from the Yale family—one of the ten most vital families in Southrive.Felix had always been among Nadine’s list of romantic suitors, even spending ridiculous amounts of effort in doing so.

Adrian’s words struck Felix’s heart like a ferocious and relentless blade.The Gardners were all in shock, and Nadine’s face turned bright red as she pinched Adrian’s waist.The Gardners began to hurl their comments.“I never knew you were such a sl*t, Naddy.”“How great could this man possibly be for you to give yourself to him?”“You were Southrive’s goddess!”The Gardners all looked at Nadine as if she was a cheap woman, while Felix’s expression was absolutely hideous. He had dreamt of sleeping with her, but that was now going to remain a dream forever. On top of that, no sane person could withstand the thought of the one they love sleeping with another.Louis spat on the floor and said, “I’m appalled, Naddy. I wasn’t expecting such behavior from you. You’d seem so cool and distant most of the time, yet you’ve actually given yourself to a man like him?”Nadine was thoroughly enraged by Louis’ remark. She extricated herself from Adrian’s arms and said, “Shut up! All of you! M

The people around Adrian were stunned.‘What just happened?’Louis looked up with a face filled with confusion. He then turned toward Felix and the others, still unable to identify who it was that had slapped him.“Who hit me?” Louis asked as he covered his face.“Pfft…” Nadine stifled her laugh, while Louis shot a sinister glare at Adrian. However, it was at that moment Adrian sent another slap his way.Smack!This slap was much harder than the last, causing Louis to not only roll across the ground, but his face became swollen as well.Finally, Louis and the others were able to discern who it was that landed that slap.‘It’s him!’Panicking, Louis got up and looked at Adrian in a daze. He had not expected Adrian to retaliate and even became frightened for a brief moment.Meanwhile, Adrian said, “Are you done? If you are, it’s my turn now.”“What?!” Louis felt fear crawl up his spine.But before he was able to react to the situation, a silhouette charged at him and grabbed

After kicking up all that fuss, Louis and Felix had nothing to show for it.Originally, Adrian planned to stay in the old man’s courtyard for a while longer, but that plan was ruined. He had no choice but to leave with Nadine for the time being. He let go of Nadine’s waist once they were out of the rear courtyard. She grew displeased the moment he retracted his arm.“Why are you letting go?”Adrian looked down, shot her a glare, and pushed her away. After that, he walked off into the distance. Nadine stamped her foot angrily and gritted her teeth as she stared at him. With a cold snort, she said, “Fine! I will make you mine one of these days. Just wait and see.“Hmph!” She then caught up with Adrian and they strolled around the rest of the estate until the sky turned dark.Adrian paid Nadine zero attention. He focused solely on coming up with a plan to enter the old man’s residence and have a look around.The sky had turned completely dark by the time Adrian and Nadine arri

‘War Legate Achelous?’ Nadine was completely stunned. She never dreamt about the possibility that her father, who was dead, might have been a legate of Wyvern Peak.In fact, it felt surreal to her.Nadine took a deep breath and pulled Adrian to her bedside. “Sit, Adrian. Is it true my dad was a legate? He can’t possibly be War Legate Achelous, can he?“Up until I met you, I’ve been supporting Uncle Chase the whole time.”Adrian looked at Nadine’s anxious expression and put his hands in the air. All he had was speculation, but that might sometimes end up being true.Realizing that Nadine was on the verge of tears, he said, “Calm down. Let me investigate before we jump to conclusions.”Nadine nodded her head profusely. “Thank you, Big Brother. Please make some calls as soon as you can.”Nadine was so anxious that she even called Adrian “Big Brother.”He shot her a glare and said, “Don’t call me that. I’m four years younger than you.”“You’re still a big brother in my eyes. All m

Adrian hung up the phone and looked at Nadine, who was squatting in front of him.She was biting her lip, seeming both anxious and impatient.“Did you find anything?” Nadine asked.This was important to her because she wanted to know what kind of man her father had been. She might even turn out to be the daughter of a Wyvern Peak legate. If this proved true, her whole identity would change.Adrian patted her shoulder and said, “I’ve asked someone to look into it, but I’m afraid it’ll take some time.”Nadine fell silent and sat with her lips pursed. After a while, she said to Adrian, “What do you think I should do if my father really is War Legate Achelous?”Adrian thought this was laughable and said, “What can you do? Just let it slide. However, if he really is the legate, your identity will be completely different from what it is now. You will go from being an ordinary girl to a goddess.”“Please, I’ve always been a goddess. I may be a bit up there in age, but my looks and phys

Nadine was instantly stunned and stood rooted to the spot.‘Drugged?’Her mouth hung open as she stared at the bowl of soup. After a while, she picked it up and stirred it with a spoon before turning around to say, “Adrian, you’re not pulling my leg, are you? Why would Mother want to drug you?“Are you only saying this because you don’t want to drink it?“Fine! I’ll drink it if you don’t want to!”After saying this, Nadine opened her mouth and put in a piece of chicken when Adrian said, “I hope you don’t regret that.”Nadine was once again stunned speechless and her face stiffened, the piece of chicken still in her mouth. She could not find the courage to swallow it.She asked, “How can you be so sure? Mother wouldn’t harm me. That’s impossible.”“Logically, you’d be right, but maybe she’s doing this for someone else’s benefit.”“What do you mean?”Nadine stared at Adrian and continued, “How can you tell it’s been drugged? I refuse to believe you managed to discern that with

Adrian continued, “When I saw your father’s photo and compared it against War Legate Achelous’ statue, I thought they looked similar. With everything said, I suddenly feel that behind your mother’s mask lies a temperament befitting a legate’s wife, plus this veteran I’m talking about has been by her side this whole time. Only this time, she was the one who called him over.”“What’s Mother planning to do?” Nadine asked.“It’s simple, really. If I’m correct, your mother already knows who I am but is putting on an act.”“What?” Nadine was so shocked her legs gave way. “Are you saying that she knows you’re War Legate Draco? Why would she play along with our act then?”Adrian smiled, “There’s only one answer, and that is because your father was War Legate Achelous and she’s his wife. On top of that, she knows why we’re here and is keeping a close eye on us.”“No, no… No… You can’t be right.” Nadine waved her hands desperately. “What’s the big idea with this drugged chicken soup then?”

At twelve midnight, Nadine, who was deep inside her Dreamland while in her own room and on her own bed, was lying half on top of Adrian.Suddenly, a melodious ringtone came from her bedside. Adrian was woken by the ringtone and reached out to grab his cell phone.Nadine rubbed her eyes and moaned, “Shut up…”She then grabbed Adrian’s phone and tried hurling it toward the floor, but Adrian managed to quickly grab it.He then pushed Nadine off of him and said, “Get off of me. Why are you on top of me? Are you trying to smother me to death?”Nadine opened her eyes while Adrian turned on the bedroom lights. Blinded by the glaring lights, she shut her eyes and sat up straight. It took her a while before her eyes were able to adjust.“What are you doing?” she asked, still sounding half asleep.Adrian ignored her and answered his phone call.From the other end of the line, Daniel said, “Sir, Mya and I are ready and waiting for you to give us the green light.”Adrian glanced at the di

The main control room of the Gardner residence was in chaos as everyone on duty scrambled to shut down the virus. This was not something that could be resolved within minutes.Meanwhile, the lights in the courtyard dimmed, leaving behind only lights powered by solar panels. As Adrian and Nadine headed for the rear court, Daniel’s voice came from Adrian’s communicator.“Sir, their surveillance systems are down. But we can’t keep this up for too long, or Internal Affairs might catch on to us. You have half an hour before we have to make a full retreat and erase all our traces.”“Got it.”Adrian took off his communicator and turned toward Nadine. She shot him a glare and said, “Well done, *sshole. You managed to plant a virus in my home all the way from Azure Creek. Wyvern Peak will be held fully responsible if you’re caught.”“You talk too much,” Adrian said, causing Nadine to grunt at him.“There will be guards at the rear court, so how are you planning on getting in?”“I’ll bust
