Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 172

Some people...

They just have to fall on their own to learn.

...

After Old Mrs. Blackwell left, Alexander Blackwell and Catherine Blackwell exchanged a look.

They had no issue with their mother doting on Adrian.

Being twelve years his senior, they doted on him as well.

But Adrian could not get too involved with the people from the Gray Zone.

As his older siblings, their professional instincts screamed that this was not a good thing.

“Brother, find a way to contact him. Talk to him about this, and convey my position as well. It’s not personal against Selena, but I’m in a difficult spot here.”

Alexander agreed.

After some effort, he finally managed to reach Adrian.

“What’s the situation with you and the Gray Zone?”

Adrian hadn’t expected this question.

He didn’t need to ask how they knew; Daniel must have gone to the family out of desperation.

“It won’t drag you down.”

Alexander relayed Catherine’s words.

Adrian’s voice was cold and emotionless. “Tell her to use Isabel to close her case.”

Alexander didn’t have many memories of Isabel; he rarely returned to the family estate.

But he believed in respecting the dead.

Even if one didn’t believe in the supernatural, framing Isabel when she had done nothing wrong felt deeply unsettling.

“Adrian, I’m not trying to meddle in your affairs, but if Selena is truly that ruthless, I don’t think she’s right for you. Don’t compound one mistake with another.”

Adrian replied, “I know what I’m doing, Alexander.”

There was nothing more Alexander could say. No one in the Blackwell family could control this younger brother.

He couldn’t continue working with Adrian, but he couldn’t afford to burn the bridge completely either.

That would just create an opening for someone else to swoop in.

“There’s no question about your capabilities, Mr. Blackwell. But as an outsider, allow me to offer a piece of advice: happy wife, happy life. Mr. Blackwell, if you don’t treat the woman you married well, I’m afraid you’re heading for a great fall.”

Adrian was unconcerned. “You worry too much, Mr. Richard.”

There was nothing more to say. Richard ended the call.

Evelyn asked, “What did he say?”

Richard relayed Adrian’s words.

Evelyn let out a series of cold, angry laughs. “Well, isn’t that just perfect.”

“He’s getting off easy!”

“If I ever get the chance, I swear I’ll make him pay!”

Richard wrapped his arms around Evelyn, soothing her. “My guess is, Adrian will use Isabel’s supposed death to clear Selena’s name.”
