Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 254

Isabel immediately grabbed Julian's arm and walked away.

Adrian tried to follow, but Mrs. Blackwell blocked his path.

Selena, meanwhile, fought desperately to break free from Adrian’s grip and chase after Isabel.

“Isabel!”

“Isabel, don’t go! Save me!”

There was no response.

Adrian held her tight, his gaze dark and deep as he watched Isabel’s retreating figure.

The wedding was a fiasco.

But the guests, knowing Adrian was not someone to be trifled with, didn't dare ask questions. When the food was served, they simply ate.

Adrian led Selena out of the hotel, first instructing Henry to escort Mrs. Blackwell and Oliver back to Westbridge.

Selena struggled the entire way.

Her wrists were rubbed raw.

She frantically sought any chance to cause a scene, even kicking a door on their way out of the hotel.

If Adrian was so concerned about her remaining unharmed, she would do everything in her power to defy him.

“Did you know, Adrian? When I was abroad, I slept with many men. I might even have AIDS. You want to use my life to save someone else? Dream on.”

Adrian had been monitoring Selena for years, spending most of his time abroad with her. He knew the state of her health better than anyone.

Ignoring her taunts, he brought her back to the Grey Zone, where he immediately had her wounds treated and ordered a full-body examination.

Isabel and Julian were already on their way to the airport, eager to leave the place behind.

If she’d had a choice, she never would have made the trip.

But she couldn’t understand why Selena had begged her for help.

Their history was not one that fostered mutual rescue.

“The line between genius and madness is a fine one.”

Isabel had never truly known Adrian.

She had only known his preferences, waiting eagerly for him to come home each day.

His accomplishments, his brilliant mind—that was what she had first admired and fallen for.

She never imagined that behind the halo of genius was a complete and utter lunatic.

But even so, she had no intention of saving Selena.

There was just one troublesome issue.

“Do you know when Selena is supposed to die?”

Julian said, “I don’t know the exact time.”

As they drove to the airport, a golden spire came into view. “That tower was built specifically for this purpose. It seems to involve some kind of dark arts or metaphysics. He’s probably waiting for an auspicious time.”

“If Selena dies, and I develop my new drug, how can I expose everything that happened back then?”
