062 The Three Musketeers
Sebastian’s POV
Adrian smirks with a delighted tone at his phone.
Did I miss anything here? I would understand if Jeremy Rogers did things by the book if he didn’t agree to help Adrian so quickly without even hesitation.
It was a great chance for me to own him, and my help was worth something. It didn’t feel like he helped Adrian out of friendship, but that he chose to not help me out of some personal vendetta.
But I don’t even know him personally!

I’m pretty sure Adrian was going to hang up, but when he took a glance at me, sighs lightly and adds to his phone, “Ohh, it came to my attention that the other Fuller girl is not answering her phone, either. Not sure if it’s related to Scar’s missing in any way but, this piece of information might help. Your judgment.”
He ends the phone call, and I feel like I’m about to burst at humiliation and confused
anger.
“What?!” I snap at Adrian, can’t help my mean tone.
“Well,” Adrian shrugs with an annoying smirk, “You are welcome.”
I want to argue, but I don’t have a stand. I know Adrian sees the similarity between Ava and Scar’s case, and he mentioned that only to help Scar. But if this helps us find Ava, then I do owe him.
“Do I even know that guy? I don’t remember stepping on his foot…” I mutter, looking away. I know Adrian way back, and though we weren’t as close as we used to be, we know each other well, somehow. I do pay attention to his life, even after our fallout.
I’m sure he does the same.
Adrian glances at me tauntingly, teasing my curiosity: “Yeah, you do.”
“…” Like how, when, where, what, why?! How’s that a good answer to any question?!
“I only know of him at school,” I frown, trying to pull up memories from years ago, searching for him, “I don’t think I have spoken to him once-”
“Let me give you a hint: The Three Musketeers. Ring a bell?”

“Right there. That oblivion is exactly why,” Adrian snorts, shooting me a displeased glance, “Sebastian Knight, life is about choices of who and what to keep in it. That’s all that life is. Maybe you should start counting how much of your life you have given up for the Fuller pair.”
