CHAPTER 673
Chapter 673 Old Acquaintances
“Mr. Tanner, please, you have got to save me!”
Adrien leaned against the back of the chair. His long slender legs were crossed and folded together.
Even when he was already in his fifties, the man still exuded a charm across his entire body.
Amidst his mature charm was a streak of stern majesty. He looked down at the prostrating woman on the ground and, through her, seemingly saw her greedy mother and
her despicable father once again.
A look of deep disgust flashed across his eyes.
He took a puff and looked at Anthony beside him.
Anthony held his arm as he said with an impassive face, ”
This woman is afraid that Gilbert will find out the truth of
the fire and take revenge against her. So she’s begging you to help her.”
“Mr. Tanner, I only just found out that you bear a grudge against Gilbert and Kisa,” Sharon crawled before him and said anxiously, “I beg you, help me. Do not let Gilbert find out the truth of the matter. If you help me, I’ll do
anything for you.”
Anthony sneered as he then burst into a laughing fit on the side. A tinge of disdain laced his laughter.
The disgust in Adrien’s eyes had disappeared as he helped Sharon up with a kind look.
“Speaking of which, I’m an old acquaintance of your
parents. You don’t have to be so reserved with me. Just call me Adrien.”
When Sharon heard that, she said, “Really? You know my parents?”
“Yes.” Adrien let out a mysterious smile. “However, I’m afraid they do not remember me anymore.”
“They won’t, they won’t,” Sharon immediately shook her head. “Adrien, you are so accomplished and
extraordinary. I’m sure no one who had met you would forget about you.”
Adrien took a puff and smiled as he said, “I know what
happened in that prison fire, including how the two
children in Kisa’s womb were taken out. I know all of it.”
Sharon’s expression changed, “How… how did you learn
about it?”
“Ah, the chief warden told me.”
Adrien spoke faintly, but Sharon’s expression was already
as pale as a ghost.
“The…the warden? He…he’s still alive?”
“I don’t know whether he’s still alive, but he told me about this a few years ago.”
Sharon took a couple of unsteady steps back as she looked at Adrien in fear.
Adrien smiled kindly at her, “Don’t you worry. I will not allow Gilbert to find out the truth of that fire.” This is property © of .
“But… Gilbert is already bringing Kisa to look for the jailers involved in this.”
“So what then?”
“I… I’m scared…”
Adrien smiled and said, “Just relax and go back. There’s something nice coming up soon. I assure you, the result will satisfy you.”
Sharon was still worried, “We really don’t have to do anything?”
“Heh. Did Anthony not tell you the extent of my powers?”
Anthony had naturally told her about this man’s ability. Otherwise, she would not prostrate herself to beg for his aid.
The man’s confident look somewhat reassured Sharon, yet she still had some concerns, “Mr. Tanner, why… why are you willing to help me?”
She was still afraid that the man would not help her when she came here.
After all, this man did not have a good impression of her.
Adrien looked at her disgusting face and smiled deeply, “I told you just now both your parents and I are old acquaintances.”
He made particular emphasis on the word ‘old
acquaintances‘.
Yet, Sharon did not manage to glean anything from that.
When she got out of Adrien’s place, Sharon still dared not
relax.
After all, Adrien had decided not to take any concrete actions. What if he was just fooling her?
It seemed like Sharon could not entirely rely on this
Adrien Tanner. She had to do something herself.
As she thought of this, her eyes narrowed, seething with
malice.
Before dark, a car drove into a small town next to Calthon.
