Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 247

Suddenly, Henry didn't want to know what Adrian was doing anymore.

But his feet kept moving, following him further inside.

There was another door. After it was unlocked, the space beyond looked like a laboratory.

In the center was something that resembled a cryogenic pod.

One glance was all it took. Henry felt a wave of nausea and squatted down, his face pale.

Adrian's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "This is why I've been good to Selena. When the time comes and I've finished what I need to do, I will naturally go and explain everything to Isabel."

It took Henry a long moment to compose himself enough to speak. "Adrian, what you're doing is illegal."

Only then did it dawn on him why Adrian had chosen the Grey Zone. Here, no one could interfere.

He pressed his lips together, at a loss for words.

Adrian didn't say anything more. He reached down, pulled Henry to his feet, and led him out.

At the entrance, they ran into Alen.

Alen looked at Henry. "I hear you're Adrian's friend, which makes you my friend. We should have a good drink tonight."

His accent was thick, but Henry could understand him.

He just didn't want to stay here a second longer.

"Adrian, besides attending your wedding, I have some personal business here..."

Adrian didn't press him to stay, simply arranging for someone to escort him out.

Alen asked, "Is this friend of yours reliable?"

Adrian replied, "I still need herbs from his family's collection."

That meant they were all in the same boat now.

Henry returned to his hotel room.

He was still shaken.

To be honest, he had always admired Adrian.

And maintaining a good relationship with the Blackwell family had its benefits.

His own family hoped he would remain good friends with Adrian.

Isabel couldn't help but smile wryly. "Julian, you can just be direct with me in the future. You don't have to beat around the bush. Whether we're husband and wife or cousins, since I've received your help, I will naturally cooperate with you."

Julian snapped his fingers. "Alright, next time I'll be direct."

Evelyn and Amanda wanted to join the fun, but they didn't have invitations.

And both of their husbands had feuds with Adrian, so there was no way they would be invited.

They were firmly on Isabel's side, which made them enemies of Adrian, so an invitation was out of the question.

"Mr. Reed," Evelyn said with a grin, "can I buy a spot to attend the wedding with you?"

"Of course," Julian replied. "Why turn down money?"

He held up five fingers. "I'm sure Mrs. Richard can afford this much."

Evelyn could afford it, as long as he wasn't asking for five gold mines.

Amanda wasn't as wealthy as Evelyn. She looked toward Isabel.

Isabel rubbed her face, exasperated. "Honestly, it's best not to go to the Grey Zone area. If something happens, it would be difficult for us to protect you."

From the start, she had no intention of letting them go, including Edmund.
