"That's right," Claude chimed in, "I would never do something that wicked!”Juleen refused to believe them. "Hah! No one would ever admit their wrongdoings. You must have figured out that my family obtained an extraordinary herb, and that's why you resorted to such despicable means!”Adrian knew Claude very well. There was no way he would resort to killing to gain something. The Randell Manor massacre was definitely someone else’s handiwork. However, if this girl managed to escape unharmed, it meant that she knew a lot."Ms. Juleen, I can assure you that Claude has nothing to do with the massacre of your family," Adrian said. Claude was stunned. Adrian's sincere words instantly eliminated all the resentment and jealousy in his heart. He trusted Adrian, and he certainly could not miss out on such a straightforward friend."Thank you, Adrian,” Claude said.Juleen got up from the ground. She bit her lip and her eyes glistened with tears. "Then who's the murderer?""Get into the ca
Chapter 2056
At this moment, Claude understood one thing. The tragic extermination of the Randells must be closely related to the Greenhursts. "Damn it! What are the Greenhursts trying to do?" He extended his head out the carriage window and stared at Payton, who was just getting up from the ground.Adrian crossed his arms, paying no attention to the outside events. He knew Juleen would surely handle it. This girl was no fool and would interrogate Payton herself. Just as he expected, Juleen jumped down from the carriage and shouted, "Payton Cox, we grew up together, so be honest with me!""I didn't lie to you," Payton said, "You can't follow them. They’re a bunch of villains."Feeling disappointed, Juleen said in frustration, "I'm disappointed in you, Payton. You asked me to hand over the Green Plum Grass, but that’s my family's treasure. I'll never give it to anyone.”'Green Plum Grass?' Adrian's eyes went wide. That was exactly the thing he was looking for!"You have Green Plum Grass? Th

Adrian opened his eyes. He had just found the solution for Rozi's aging issue, and now it felt out of reach again.“Are you serious?” Adrian asked."Of course, I'm serious," Juleen said, "Why would I lie to you?"Claude sighed. The Green Plum Grass was hard to come by, and the Randells should have sought advice from him when they obtained such a treasure. "You've wasted a precious treasure,” he chided. "It's none of your business!" Juleen rolled her eyes at Claude.But the next second, she began weeping. It went without saying that she understood that the tragedy that happened to Randall Manor was likely due to the Green Plum Grass. Adrian collected himself. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch and such valuable things could not be easily obtained. "Who else knows that your family has the Green Plum Grass?" he questioned."No one knows." Juleen pouted. "I now believe that Claude isn't the murderer. He has no knowledge of this information." She glanced at Claude

Marissa sighed in relief. Adrian was a man of his word, and it was clear the lady was just talking nonsense."Anyway, something happened while you were away," Marissa said, "Mr. Lionel... He's in the garden right now.""What?” Claude was stunned. Lionel was his beacon of hope, and he did not want anything to happen to Lionel."What happened?" Claude asked."It's my fault," Marissa said, "When I saw Rozi's smooth skin as if she had become eighteen again, I approached Mr. Lionel and—"But before Marissa could finish speaking, Juleen stepped forward and said, "Hey! Keep your distance from Adrian. He's mine. I'm bad-tempered, and I might hit you!""Adrian and I are good friends," Marissa said as she held Adrian's arm. "Please stop with this delusion. Adrian will never fall for you.”Adrian nodded seriously. Meanwhile, he breathed a relieved sigh. It sounded like whatever happened to Lionel was not serious, however, he was still curious about what happened. "Let's go see Lionel.”

Adrian knew that Juleen had misunderstood him and gestured for her to sit down before continuing, "I want to know everything about Randell Manor, and I hope you will tell me the whole truth."Juleen sat back down, casting a wry glance at Marissa standing behind Adrian. She felt particularly displeased with this girl who stuck to Adrian like glue."I can talk, but..." Juleen paused and looked at Marissa.Adrian quickly grasped Juleen's meaning and patted Marissa, "Go outside and guard the door. Don't let anyone near the study. I need space to talk with Ms. Juleen.""She's trying to seduce you!" Marissa exclaimed, "I won’t be able to save you if you fall for her trap.""Don't worry," Adrian said calmly, "Even though Ms. Juleen is pretty, I'm married. I promise to never betray my wife."Marissa left happily.Juleen did not believe Adrian's words. She was determined to make him fall in love with her and to never leave her."All the Randells are members of the Greenhursts, and all o
Chapter 2060
Adrian held back the words he was about to say. He had figured out who the murderer was, and he had the evidence too. However, there was nothing Juleen could do even if he told her the truth.Juleen, as if she knew what was on his mind, asked, "Do you think I'm no match for the murderer?""Yes," Adrian said while nodding. "If I were you, I'd return to bury my kin and then live a peaceful life.""No!" Juleen jumped to her feet, her eyes filled with resentment. "I will never forgive that person. Tell me who did it.”Adrian pulled back his hand. Juleen was blinded by her hatred. He knew that in her current state, she would only be seeking her demise if she went down this path."You need to calm down, Ms. Juleen. How about resting at Medicis Manor for a few days first? You can assist Mr. Lionel in studying the soil too," Adrian suggested.Juleen got onto her knees and pleaded, "Adrian, I'll tell you everything. There are still a few surviving Randells, and I'm worried that there may

Adrian smashed through the window and kicked the tail of the incoming arrow, altering its trajectory. The arrow whizzed past Juleen's side and lodged into a nearby tree trunk. Juleen stood frozen in shock.Adrian quickly the shooter to be a man in gray, who coldly laughed and readied another shot. "Stop!" Adrian commanded.The man in gray ignored him, determined to eliminate Juleen. "Who are you to order me?" He sneered, firing two more arrows.With Adrian's timely intervention, Juleen was saved as they took cover behind a large tree. Juleen, now composed, confronted the man. "Why do you want to kill me, Darryl?""For betraying the faction," replied Darryl Thompson, clearly displeased.Adrian then realized another one of Greenhursts’ members was involved, making the Randell family massacre connection to the Greenhursts more apparent than ever.Juleen, confused, turned to Adrian and asked aloud, "I haven't betrayed the faction. I was just resting here for a while. Did the lead

Adrian turned to Juleen and said, "You're free to leave with him if you wish. I won't stop you.""No, Darryl, I have to stay here. You should return to the Greenhursts and never come back here,” Juleen said.Darryl left, disappointed and intimidated by Adrian's formidable presence, especially after the latter had shown up in front of him in an instant.Juleen asked, "Who was it that massacred my family then?"Adrian calmly replied, "It's most likely the doing of the Four Great Factions. There are more of them who wish you dead to avoid trouble."Juleen shuddered at the thought. Darryl and Payton were probably simply acting on orders. She then thought about how cruel Urias was. "So I'm left with no option but death?" she said in despair."Who said that?" Adrian chuckled. "There will always be someone willing to stand up in the face of injustice.""Will you help me?" Juleen asked tentatively, lacking the courage to look at Adrian.Rozi intervened, "Adrian, we're in danger ourselv
