Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 279

Adrian couldn't find Julian and Isabel in Aurelia City.

He trashed the villa and the laboratory.

The incident drew a lot of attention, and the local police arrived on the scene, getting a headache the moment they saw Adrian.

"Sir, what is...?"

Adrian shot the police a cold look. "Call Julian."

The police contacted Julian. "Mr. Reed, there's been an incident at your residence."

Julian laughed nonchalantly. "Let me guess, was it trashed by a certain Mr. Blackwell?"

"..."

So they were just using the police as pawns in their game.

"You already knew?" What else could they say?

Julian chuckled again. "Perfect timing. I was planning to rebuild anyway. Thank Mr. Blackwell for taking care of the preliminary work for me."

Adrian snatched the phone from the officer. "Did you give Selena the poison?"

Julian hung up immediately. After having breakfast at the hotel with Edmund, he flew to the Ashford family's estate.

The moment he walked in, Evelyn stood up. "Mr. Reed, didn't you say you were renovating the villa? Why is it completely destroyed? Look, it's all over the news."

Julian glanced at the news, unconcerned. "That land is mine anyway. I can do whatever I want with it. The old villa and lab were too small. I'll build a new one. We have more people living there now, after all."

Adrian would never trend on the news.

But Isabel could guess. "When you brought Selena back, did something happen?"

"Amanda won't be dragged into this, will she?"

Julian said, "Don't worry. He won't be able to trace this back to Amanda. He'll be coming after me."

It clicked for Isabel. "You knew all along that Selena would die?"

Julian grinned. "You're so smart it's becoming a problem."

"Why?" Evelyn couldn't hold back anymore, munching on a large apple. "If she didn't want to live, why would she bother escaping? Wouldn't it have been easier to die sooner?"

Julian snapped his fingers. "Mrs. Richard has a point."

Evelyn: "..."

Isabel was in no mood for jokes. "What really happened?"

Julian became a bit more serious. "Of course Selena didn't want to die, that's why she tried to escape. But she knew that once she returned, she would realize her escape was also monitored by Adrian. Her only fate was to be a life-for-a-life experiment, so she would definitely try to 'die' one way or another."

"She was completely under Adrian's surveillance. How could she die?"

"She was a Ph.D. in pharmacology, wasn't she? Before Adrian controlled her, she was still doing research in a lab."
