Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 260

It had been seven or eight days. What could have prompted him to suddenly snatch Isabel?

They had all been staying at the villa, not causing any trouble.

Richard reassured her and then made some inquiries.

Penetrating the Grey Zone was no easy feat.

He wasn’t able to gather much intelligence.

“All I heard is that they’ve sent a lot of people out. The Grey Zone is in chaos. It seems they’ve lost something and are looking for it.”

Evelyn immediately thought of Selena. Right now, the only thing that could matter this much to Adrian was Selena.

And only Selena’s disappearance would warrant such a massive response.

“Mrs. Richard,” the family doctor said after his examination, “the young master has no serious injuries. He has a bruise on his back from the impact. I’ve prescribed an ointment. Apply it twice a day, and it should heal on its own.”

Evelyn saw the doctor out, then hugged Edmund tightly. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay with you.”

Martha was on vacation and hadn’t been around for the past few days.

Fortunately, Evelyn knew how to cook a few simple meals.

But Edmund spent most of his time in the lab, working on something mysterious.

Until one day, he asked her, “Auntie, can you find a way to get me to the Grey Zone?”

Isabel was taken to the Grey Zone.

She didn’t struggle, allowing Adrian to lead her into a bedroom decorated in dark shades of black and gray.

Even in broad daylight, the room felt chillingly cold.

He threw her onto the bed.

He was a genius; he wouldn’t be fooled by simple tricks.

But geniuses have a major flaw.

They think they’re too smart to be deceived.

Ironically, that makes them easier to fool with the simplest of lies.

“You’re giving me too much credit. Why don’t you run a full physical on me, and another DNA comparison with Isabel? If the results show we’re not the same person, you have to let me go.”

“Hah. Do you take me for a three-year-old? I’m not falling for such a pathetic excuse.” Adrian’s hand began to tighten. “What I believe to be true, is true.”

Isabel quickly tried to press a pressure point on his wrist, but he caught her hand before she could.

The difference in strength between them was too great. She couldn't overpower him, so she had to use her wits.

“If you kill me, you’ll never find Selena.”
