Chapter 1259 Detoxification [2]
For Adriana, he would really give up anything.
Looking at Raylan’s hurriedly departing back, Sandra clutched her chopsticks harder and harder until her bones were white and her hand trembled from overexertion before she snapped out of her drowning anger and jealousy.
Raylan, who had walked away, naturally could not see the slightly grim expression on Sandra’s face, but asked Peter worriedly, “What’s wrong?”
“Chaya is going to cure my compulsion this morning, but needs Adriana’s help. I always feel that Chaya and Jonathan are not to be underestimated and need to be careful.”
Peter was very defensive of the two.
“That four-eyes is no good either.”
Raylan couldn’t help but spit out a comment.
“Four eyes? Did you say Bethany?”
Peter thought carefully, after entering Obren wearing glasses seems to be the only person Bethany.
It can’t be anyone else but him, said the man.
“His father and son have a great relationship with Chaya, and I’m only afraid that they are hiding a lot of secrets.” Peter analyzed with the feeling he had when he first met with the three of them.
“Yes, indeed.”
Raylan nodded rather approvingly.
One hour later.
Adriana, Peter, Raylan and Jackson, four people gathered in the living room of Topiary Mansion.
The living room of Topiary Mansion is also home to Jonathan and his son, Chaya and Archie.
But today, Chaya and Jonathan father and son appeared in front of several people in Obren’s clan clothes, dressed up, and seemed to pay extra attention to the ritual of detoxifying Peter today.
Chaya’s shrewd eyes looked Raylan up and down and her cane tapped heavily on the floor, “Nonsense, how can he be involved in such an important occasion today, an outsider?”
Quite repulsive to Raylan.
“He’s my brother!”
Chaya’s words fell, Adriana cold eyes raised, throwing the ground.
He is her … brother?
A word to the four seats.
Even though everyone in the room knew about the relationship between Raylan and Adriana, she stunned everyone when she said herself that Raylan was her brother.
Peter looked at the woman beside him, and did not compete for jealousy, the eyes are full of relief and the woman’s bearing is very appreciated.
On the contrary, the defended Raylan’s cold and meaningful gaze fell on Adriana, and the hand hanging at his side tightened.
She said he was her brother.
For a moment, Raylan cried with mixed feelings in his heart, his heart clenched tightly, only to feel the deepest vague pain.
Although it was defending him, it also divided the relationship between him and her.
It also means that from today onwards, he is just her brother, caring close enough to be like family, but not beyond the line of defense of family.
“You’re from the Schroeder family!”
Chaya gave a soft rebuke.
Adriana’s watery autumn water cut pupils emerged with a few moments of contempt and mockery, “I, surnamed Hale!”
Three words that perfectly gagged her.
“That won’t work either, he Raylan is a foreigner and must not be involved in this process of solving the compulsion poison.”
Jonathan, who was standing with one hand behind his back, stroked his white beard with one hand and looked serious, he was not angry.
Adding to the already dark complexion, it looks more gloomy on that face.
Suddenly standing up to stop Raylan is more intimidating in turn.
It’s a pity that he underestimated Adriana’s guts.
Not only did she fail to reject Adriana, but it spurred her on and strengthened her position. “I’m in, he’s in. If you don’t say yes, this is the end of the day.”
In front of them, there is absolutely no way to show weakness.
This is not simply defending Raylan, but building an image in front of them, creating an attitude that she will do what she says, letting them know that she is not a soft touch either.
“You …”
“All right, one more won’t hurt.”
Chaya also tried to reprimand Adriana, but was stopped by Ruth.
Today’s events are crucial, and one more Raylan won’t change anything, and it doesn’t matter if he’s missing.
In that case, why be calculating.
“This is Obren, the patriarch has the final word!”
Ruth had thought she had a place in Obren, and although many people didn’t know she existed, Jonathan and Bethany knew exactly who she was.
Neither of the two of them should be flaunting their authority over her, and at the moment Jonathan is not happy about it.
Ruth’s eyes narrowed slightly and her shadowy gaze shot straight at Jonathan, wordlessly conveying the aura of smoke and war.
“Although you are the daughter of the patriarch, but for many years has not been involved in the Obren’s big and small matters. What’s more, there are no rules, and the exception to let you participate in the detoxification process is simply because you are Chaya’s daughter.
Facing Ruth, who is many years older than him, Bethany is not shy at all.
Both sides argued, the atmosphere was tense, and no one refused to hold back.
“I …”
Only yesterday theylearned Bethany’s true identity, and today the two of them are taking a nonchalant stance toward her, which really angers Ruth.
She stepped forward and opened her mouth to retort, but before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled behind by Archie.
The man stood in front of her and said calmly, “Obren, there is Chaya one day, what Ruth said must count. Besides, you Bethany is just a district right elder, speak so arrogant and domineering, do not know also think is is Obren future heir.”
The love of Archie’s life is Ruth, has never changed.
But now the woman he likes is bullied in front of him, his heart nestled in the fire, naturally will not turn a blind eye.
So, I took the opportunity to deliberately undermine him.
After the words, only to see Chaya scared face, side glance to Jonathan and Bethany, towards the two men indicated a look, let them two do not act rashly, careful to expose their identity.
“It’s just that, what’s all the noise early in the morning, hurry up and leave, late will delay the auspicious time.”
The people of Obren retain the most primitive racial beliefs and even some superstitions.
Chaya waved her hand, “Hurry up and get out, you still have a long walk to the secret room.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She turned around, walked through the back room of the living room, and walked out.
The crowd looked at me, I looked at you, but all did not say anything, but together followed Chaya from the back.
Cross the courtyard, enter the inner room, and walk into the living room in the backyard.
In the crowd full of expectations, Chaya walked to the offering table, reached out and twisted the red candle candlestick on the table, the right hand did not know where to press, and saw a bookshelf on the right side moved parallel to one side, revealing a small door.
“Come on in.”
Chaya waved at a few people and catapulted herself into the room.
Adriana inclined her head to look at Peter and subconsciously held his hand, as if trying to find some security.
