Chapter 110 My Strap Won't Untie
The Powell family bought a mountain without blinking their eyes, built their villa, and arranged for security.
When the car reached the foot of the mountain, the guard recognized Curtis and immediately let them through.
The car slowly drove along the minor road in the villa area.
Adeline looked around in astonishment at the armed bodyguards stationed on both sides. "Isn't this a private villa area? Why are there so many security guards?"
There was a "security guard" and undercover guards almost every five meters!
"These are not security guards. They're the Powell family's henchmen," Curtis said with a faint smile. "That guy has too many enemies, so he needs to be on guard."
Adeline was shocked and didn't know how to respond.
Olivia, on the other hand, became even more excited. "How cool is that? If I become his wife, these people must call me Mrs. Powell daily... Hahaha, I'll be blissfully happy."
Adeline was speechless.
Olivia seemed to be overactive.
How could she fall in love with someone with such a terrifying background?
Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of a vintage-style villa.
As they got out of the car, Adeline anxiously hid behind Curtis, pushing the wheelchair carefully to avoid any mishaps that might result in her head being detached.
With their menacing appearance, the Powell family did not seem like friendly individuals.
The three of them entered the living room, where Adeline spotted a man sitting on a sofa chair dressed in a black shirt and trousers. He was meticulously wiping an antique knife.
The blade shimmered brightly but was not as chilling as the man's gaze.
"Max!" Olivia exclaimed excitedly, ready to rush towards him.
However, Max raised his knife, blocking Olivia's path.
Adeline's heart nearly stopped from fear.
She glanced at the man standing before her, realizing he was quite different from what the rumors depicted.
He had dark skin and handsome features and didn't appear terrifying enough to be the cause of children's nightmares, as the rumors suggested.
She seemed accustomed to Max's indifferent attitude and continued babbling about various topics. Growing annoyed, Max said frankly, "Olivia, it's never going to happen between us."
"Why?" Olivia inquired.
"I will never refer to Curtis as 'Uncle' in my lifetime!" Max asserted firmly.
Olivia pondered for a moment. "Then should I sever ties with Uncle Curtis?"
Max was left speechless.
Determined to keep the conversation going, Olivia blabbered about her experiences abroad and the attention she received from foreign boys.
On the other hand, Curtis guided Adeline to the hot spring room. "Max reserved this room exclusively for me; no one else has used it. So, it's impeccably clean. The hot spring pool is supplied with fresh water from the mountaintop, making it incredibly soothing to soak in and providing beautifying effects."
Intrigued by the mention of the "beautifying" effects, Adeline became curious. She changed into her swimsuit for the hot springs.
Just as she finished changing, she heard Curtis calling out to her.
"Adeline, can you help me? I can't undo the strap on my clothes."
