Chapter 110 My Strap Won''t Untie


    Chapter 110 My Strap Won''t Untie


    The Powell family bought a mountain without blinking their eyes, built their vi, 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 vi area.


    Adeline looked around in astonishment at the armed bodyguards stationed on both sides. "Isn''t this


    a private vi 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 be 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 vi.


    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 ck shirt and trousers. He was meticulously wiping an antique knife.


    The de shimmered brightly but was not as chilling as the man''s gaze.


    "Max!" Olivia eximed excitedly, ready to rush towards him.


    However, Max raised his knife, blocking Olivia''s path.


    Adeline''s heart nearly stopped from fear.


    She nced 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.


    However, there was a fierce gleam in his eyes, especially apanied by a scar on his right


    eyebrow, as if a vengeful sword strike had left it.


    Max coldly nced at Curtis and inquired, "Why are you here?"


    "We came to enjoy the hot springs," Curtis replied.


    Max was displeased, furrowing his brow. "Do you think my ce is a hot spring resort?"


    Curtis remained silent and turned to Olivia. "It''s been a while since youst spoke to Max. Catch up


    with him. I''m getting older, so let Adeline push me to the hot springs first."


    Max''s face darkenedpletely as his words fell, intensifying his fierce appearance.


    So, it turned out that Curtis and his wife had thought of this house as a hot spring resort, and in his


    eyes, Max was obligated to help him get rid of Olivia.


    Olivia believed that Curtis was giving her and Max some private time and enthusiastically gestured


    for Curtis to proceed. "Go on, hurry up!"

    She had forgotten how she had reminded Curtis to keep his distance from Adeline.


    As soon as Curtis left, Olivia fearlessly approached Max, standing just centimeters away from the


    knife. "Max, it''s been so long. Do you miss me?"


    "No," Max replied curtly, continuing to clean his dagger. He found her incessant chatter highly


    irritating.


    However, Olivia was Curtis''s niece, so he couldn''t do anything about it.


    She seemed ustomed 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 bbered 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 impably 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."
