Chapter 6
That day, Declan invited me to a private club to introduce me to his friends.
The club was invitation-only, accessible only to VIPs.
In the past life, he also invited Adeline and me, greatly satisfying her vanity.
But I refused to let Adeline go, no matter what.
Because I overheard Declan planning to entertain his troublesome friends.
He was ready to use her as entertainment.
On the phone, Declan’s tone was dismissive:
“Someone like Adeline, you guys can do as you please with her.”
I told her Declan was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
But Adeline didn’t believe me.
Seeing us argue fiercely, Declan played the good guy instead:
“Asher is just worried about you. Since he disagrees, Adeline, you better not go.”
Adeline then completely broke with me:
“Asher, who are you to control me? I only received a little care from your family, it’s not like I was sold to you as a child bride! I warn you, my business with Declan is none of your concern, so stop meddling!”
So this time when Declan mentioned taking Adeline along, I wasn’t surprised and didn’t stop him.
Adeline was taken aback for a moment, then a smug look quickly crossed her face as she anticipated a show.
She remembered Declan intended to set a trap for me.
But she didn’t know, Declan’s trap was not just for me.
At this moment, Officer Sawyer secretly contacted me.
