Chapter 771 Too Deep In
Sharon looked at his face and asked with trepidation. “W- What booster shot?”
Adrien snickered at her. “You don’t need to know. Just wait for it.”
Sharon was about to ask something more when she saw a fleeting resentment on Adrien’s face. The next second, Adrien requested his men to send her away. He sneered with a disdainful look on his face as Sharon left.
Peter felt puzzled and came up to Adrien. “Uncle Adrien, why are you helping her if you hate her?”
“You think I’m helping her?” Adrien smoked a cigarette and chuckled.
“Haven’t you been helping her get out of trouble? Isn’t this helping her?” Peter shrugged amusedly.
He looked down and smoothened the creases of his pant legs. “No. What I want is death for everyone in the Case family.” Adrien said in an emotionless yet sinister voice.
It startled Peter, who now found his uncle more and more strange.
Realizing that he had frightened Peter, Adrien quickly looked up at him without the earlier sinister look but a touch of avuncularity on his face. “By the way, didn’t you have something to see me? What is it?”
Embarrassed, Peter stared at Adrien and said, “M–My bracelet….”
Adrien chuckled. “It seems you care quite a bit about what your mother left you.”
Peter’s face changed at the mention of this. “Not that I care about what she left me; I’m just afraid I’m slowly forgetting my hatred for her.”
