NovelMegaChapter 1743
The successors from Eastshire all resented Adeline for her 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 he was bullied so badly, what Adeline said showed that she 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 tellthat you're the gift."
She coquettishly replied, "You're such a tease, Jay. Of course not. I've been yours a long tago. The present |
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. | know where he's
hiding!"
He shot up and blurted out excitedly, "Really? Where is he? Bringto him 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 he was injured and the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale could
not locate him.
If Julian could capture Tiger and bring him back this time, he would hit the jackpot.
Adeline smiled. "He's hiding in a secluded place. Do you wantto bring you—"
Suddenly, a slap hit her face before she could finish her sentence and Julian swore at her, "F*cking stop with the
rubbish. Where is he?"
Adeline was shocked and looked at him in a daze. For the life of her, she could not figure out why Julian had
becso brutal when he was still whispering sweet nothings into her ear two days ago.
As she had not replied, the anger burned even brighter in Julian and he slapped her again. "F*ck! Talk! Didn't you
hear me?"
Julian didn't have any feelings for Adeline and had always been toying with her only.
Now, he desperately needed to know Tiger's location as he was afraid Tiger would escape if he got the news of
Julian looking for him.
So, Adeline trying to tease him was a recipe for trouble. He did not have the tfor her games.
After being slapped two times, she finally regained her senses and asked in a shaking voice, "Jay, you... What are
you doing?"
Julian exploded with rage. He grabbed her hair before pushing her onto the table as he grabbed a fruit knife and

Julian threatened.
Finally, Adeline got his message. Julian wasn't joking around with her.
At that moment, she finally understood their love was one-sided. She thought that she 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, he pulled her up with a hand choking her neck. "Lead the way!"
She didn't dare say anything and led him 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, she fell
into despair.
