Chapter 218

In the end, Brylee was persuaded and reluctantly accompanied Jaxen to the Adlers’ estate.

The Adler property was massive–anyone even vaguely familiar with the elite social circle could tell you where it was. But when they arrived, they couldn’t even get past the alley leading in.

A barricade had been set up outside, with a wooden sign beside it that read: Private Residence. Do Not Approach,

Since the car couldn’t go further, Jaxen stepped out, bringing along a silent Brylee, and approached the lone guard standing nearby.

Just one guard? That threw him off. For a family like the Adlers, he expected layers of security. Hell, even his place had two or three guys posted at the gate.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. He plastered on a smile and offered the guard a cigarette.

“I’m the CEO of Grizzlyworld Corp,” he said smoothly. “There’s been a bit of a misunderstanding between our company and Miss Adler–and your boss. I’ve come to apologize in person.”

The guard gave the cigarette a cold glance, then pushed it back at him without hesitation.

“Speak to Mr. Adler,” he said flatly. “Without his permission, no one goes in.”

Jaxen’s smile froze on his face. He awkwardly looked past the guard, trying to peer into the alley just in time to catch a black car pulling out.

He waved enthusiastically, his face lighting up with a hopeful grin as the car rolled to a stop beside them.

The window came down. It was Widi.

There were originally two girls in the Adler family: Laura and Widi.

After Widi’s father ran his mouth at a Holmes family gathering a month ago, Richard had banished him to Blorence City. Her mother followed soon after, leaving Widi and her brothers behind in Strate City to study.
