Chapter 1950


    "It''s because I haven''t seen you and Adrienne for a long time. I wanted toe home earlier to see


    you two, that''s why I rushed back."


    Eudora argued with an aggrieved tone.


    "But does that give you a reason to ignore your own safety?" Although he was worried, Sheridan


    still pretended to be fierce. "If you didn''t make it back today, what would Adrienne and I do?"


    Eudora knew that Sheridan was enraged because he was worried about her safety, but all that


    shouting made her feel wronged. She pouted and apologized pitifully, "I''m sorry! I''ll be extra careful


    in the future."


    Looking at Eudora, Sheridan''s anger slowly subsided. He held her in his arms and softened his


    voice, "You really scared me today. I don''t even dare to imagine what Adrienne and I would have to


    do if something did happen to you. Our family has the rest of our lives to see each other, and we


    don''t need to rush to spend time together. Please always remember that safetyes first, okay?"


    Whenever Eudora was away for work, Sheridan would remind her that her safety was the utmost


    priority. He would tell her not to rush back if she finished workte. Inparison, Sheridan would


    always try toe home earlier when he was away for business. His reason was that his two


    beloved women were at home, and they needed to be taken care of.


    Their family lived such a beautiful life in the past that everyone who knew them admired them.


    Adrienne always thought that such happiness wouldst forever, but she had never expected


    Sheridan to be the culprit behind Eudora''s death.


    "Mom..." Adrienne raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Let''s forget about the painful past and


    those who have hurt you... If there really is such a thing as reincarnation, make sure you think twice


    before you trust anyone in your next life. Don''t fall for a wolf in sheep''s clothing again."


    "A wolf in sheep''s clothing? He protected you so well, and he wouldn''t let anyoney a hand on you,


    and yet that''s all he is to you?" A sultry female voice came from behind all of a sudden. Adrienne


    looked back and saw a woman in a red dress standing a few steps away from her.


    If it were anyone else, that person would have probably fainted from fear at the sight of a woman in


    red at a cemetery. However, Adrienne was still rtively calm. She racked through her mind, trying


    to recall anything about this strange woman. Soon, her mind clicked.


    She recalled that Jefferson had mentioned a woman who liked to dress in red when she was


    kidnapped a few months ago. She learned from their conversation that the woman was known as


    Miss Nina.


    At that time, the murderer and kidnapper were both captured, but not Miss Nina. Adrienne did


    not receive any news of her arrestter on either, so she was pretty sure that the woman in front of


    her was Nina. "You must be Miss Nina."


    "Very well, you managed to guess who I am on our first meeting. It seems that you are not as stupid


    as I thought. You still have some of Stephen''s characteristics in you after all." Nina stood a few


    steps away from Adrienne with a smile on her face as her long hair and dress fluttered in the


    breeze. However, since they were at a cemetery, the entire scene did not look beautiful but rather a


    little creepy.


    "Do you know Sheridan?" Adrienne did not know why Nina was here, but she knew that this


    woman was not someone easy to deal with. Nina hade prepared, but Adrienne had nothing


    to defend herself with. She was even blocking her only way to escape.


    "He is the man I love! I love him more than I love myself." Nina had never concealed her love for


    Sheridan. She loved him when he was just an ordinary man, and she still loved him deeply and


    stayed by his side when he became a viin.


    "You love him?" Adrienne couldn''t help but want tough. She chuckled and asked, "But does he


    love you, though?"


    "He loves my body." Nina knew what role she yed in Sheridan''s heart. She was well aware


    that Sheridan did not have any sincere feelings toward her. He only wanted to use her for her body


    and her capabilities but it did not matter to her.


    As long as he needed her, no matter what it was for, she would be contented as long as she could


    prove herself useful to him.


    Adrienne mocked in a cold voice, "So are you here at my mother''s grave today just to say that?


    Well, let me tell you. There''s no need for that. I do not wish to associate myself with any of you


    anymore."


    "I know you don''t want to see me, but trust me, I wasn''t looking forward to seeing you either,"


    Nina retorted.


    "Why are you still here then?" Adrienne questioned.


    "Because I want to tell you that if it weren''t for you, Jefferson would never have found our hideout,


    and Stephen wouldn''t have been arrested." Nina was smiling as she spoke, but her eyes were


    filled with apparent hatred for Adrienne.


    Adrienne added, "Breaking thewes with its consequences. No one can be excluded."


    "Don''t talk about your high and mighty morals with me. I''m not interested." Miss Nina shook the


    white envelope in her hand and uttered, "If Stephen hadn''t asked me to give you this letter


    personally, I wouldn''t have bothered to talk to you." "He asked you to hand me a letter?" Knowing


    that it was from Sheridan, Adrienne refused to ept it. However, she was curious as to what the


    contents might be. As she was about to touch the envelope, Nina suddenly yanked it away, not


    letting her touch it.


    She sneered. "Huh, he still thinks about you even though he''s being locked up now."


    Adrienne sensed that something was off and wanted to step back. However, her body went weak


    and her mind was going nk slowly. The next second, she hadpletely lost her consciousness


    as her body slid slowly along the tombstone and onto the ground.


    "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time, youngdy." Miss Nina red at Adrienne, who had


    fallen at her feet, and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness. "Stephen could never bear toy his


    hands on you but look at how you treated him. You don''t deserve to be his daughter at all. I will kill


    you, his unfilial daughter, for him today."


    She took out a dagger and bent over. "Also, Jefferson is being too cocky, isn''t he? How could he let


    youe here alone at such a crucial time? Isn''t he afraid that something might happen to you?"


    "If I didn''t let you think that she was up here alone, how would I have managed to catch you so


    easily?" Jefferson''s voice came out of nowhere, and there was a gun pointed at the back of


    Nina''s head.


    Nina raised her head and found that Jefferson was standing on her left. It was someone else


    who was holding a gun against her, while the rest of the people surrounded them. There were so


    many people present but she did not manage to notice their presence at all. It seemed like they had


    alreadyid an ambush and were waiting for her to fall into the trap.


    She stood up slowly and mocked, "Jefferson, I thought you loved this woman. I didn''t expect you to


    use her as bait."

    A bait!


    That word made Jefferson extremely displeased.


    He had never thought about using Adrienne as bait, but this time...


    Ninaughed hysterically and cunningly. She continued, "Well, take a guess, Jefferson. Do you


    think that the drug will only knock your precious girl out, or will it kill her instead?"
