Chapter 592


    Nadine went one whole circle until she arrived back at this topic.


    Carlene nced at Nadine a few times before asking, “What prompted you to ask this?”


    Nadine made up an excuse. “Something happened at Fowler House today and I failed to handle the


    situation well. Grandfather used to be the one who handled this situation in the past. So it got me


    thinking about what Grandfather would have done if he


    was there.”


    Carlene pondered for a moment. She did not think too long before she said to Nadine, “Do your best in


    handling the matter since you’re already on it. You shouldn’t be looking for a way to quick sess and


    instant benefits.”


    “Yes, I know. Tell me about Grandfather, quick” Nadine urged.


    “He did leave behind quite a number of things before he passed away and they’re all stored in his


    residence. However, your Uncle Chase has already locked up his residence and no one is allowed to


    enter.


    “The cleaning staff are allowed to enter the house daily for cleaning works but Chase set the rule that


    no one is allowed to touch anything. Moreover, the ce is under full surveince with not a single


    blindspot to be found,” Carlene said.


    Nadine was astonished ‘So, Uncle Chase cares about Grandfather’s house that much, huh?”

    She then asked, “Mother, not even you or the other uncles can enter?


    Carlene nodded. “Yes. No one is allowed to enter if it’s not an official matter, including your uncles and


    aunts. You know that Chase is the head of the family. Anyone who wishes to enter needs to apply with


    him. If someone enters without permission and breaks the family rule, the person will be punished


    ordingly.”


    “What did Grandfather keep in his residence? Does Uncle Chase have to go as far as to guard the


    house this tightly?”


    “Your grandfather loved collecting antiques, paintings, and old books when be was alive. I believe


    Chase wishes to preserve them. Hence, your grandfather’s residence looks exactly the same as when


    he was alive,” Carlene exined.


    ‘But I feel that there’s something fishy about this,” Nadine said, “If he’s only doing this to protect


    Grandfather’s collection, all of it is unnecessary. Is it because there’s something important in


    Grandfather’s house that Uncle Chase hasn’t managed to find, so he locked up the ce to search for


    it slowly?”


    Carlene shook her head. “I’m not too sure about that. All in all, that’s all that I know. Also, don’t ever go


    there. Otherwise, what’s going to happen if you were to get in trouble?


    “Your father is gone and we live in the family home with only each other to depend on. Everything will


    be fine as long as we fulfill our duties and keep our heads down. If we do something that we shouldn’t


    do, Chase will punish us.”


    Nadine nodded. “I understand.”


    Carlene said, “All right, it’s gettingte. You should go to bed early. Also, don’t forget what you


    promised me. Bring your boyfriend home to meet me tomorrow. I will be calling your first uncle now so


    you can just bring him in right away when he’s


    here.”


    “I promise,” Nadine said.


    The mother and daughter stopped talking, and Nadine headed upstairs.


    Nadine had trouble sleeping the whole night. She tossed and turned on the bed but she could not fall


    asleep


    Her mind was filled with thoughts about Adrian. She had no idea why but she felt as if she had been


    conquered by the ma, especially when she was crushed under his foot. She found the man majestic for


    no apparent reason.


    Nadine loathed other men’s eagerness. Yet, she found herself conquered by a powerful man like


    Adrian, so much so that he was in her dreams when she finally fell asleep


    The next day, Nadine left the family home when she woke up and drove to Fowler House. She called


    Adrian on her way there.
