"Not long after you went to Lone Oak Place." Maxwell chuckled. "At that time, he said that he wanted to enter Bai Company. You had lived in Bai Family for so long before, so you should know my style of doing things. When he said that, I didn't think that he wanted to help me, and I knew that he had another purpose."
"Although I didn't find anything else, I learnt that you were alive. But..." He looked at Arvis again, "You're quite good at hiding. If I didn't see you today, I wouldn't know that you've given birth to his child."
Although Adele was afraid, she knew that Arvis would be safe if Isaac knew this matter. She didn't care whether she would suffer or not. However, Maxwell said so... She didn't know what would happen to her, nor did she know how Maxwell would treat Arvis.
"Three years have passed. I thought he had forgotten you. If it weren't for you, maybe he would be discussing his marriage with Chloe at this time, or perhaps they would have got married." As he said this, a hint of malice flashed through his eyes and his face darkened, "Everything becomes like this because of you."
"Old Master Bai, I... have been to Lone Oak Place indeed, but Issac doesn't know that I'm Adele. You can rest assured."
Maxwell laughed mockingly, "Is that so?"
"Otherwise, do you think he would let me go?"
Maxwell did not say whether he believed her or not. He gave her an example, "Even I knew that it was you when I saw your photo, let alone Issac who has lived with you for a period of time."
Adele suddenly couldn't say a word.
She wanted to emphasize it again. However, just as she was about to speak, she thought of how abnormal Issac was before she left Lone Oak Place.
Could it be that... Isaac had known the fact that she was not Alaina? But he didn't say anything, did he? He even took her to the place where she jumped into the river and said that he kept her by his side because of her appearance...
She was more and more confused, "Old Master Bai, I'm telling the truth. Since you said that you had known my existence long ago, why didn't you look for me at that time? I had left this city today. You know that I was going to leave. I don't want to get involved in your disputes. Please let me go. Don't worry. I won't say anything that I shouldn't say. Adele, who knows everything, has died three years ago."
"You can rest assured." Maxwell was not moved and still looked tepid. "The reason why I brought you here is that I want you to stay here for a while. As long as you can cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you won't be hurt and this child will be safe and sound. If I get the result I want, I promise you that I will let you go."
Adele naturally did not believe that Maxwell would be so kind. She stared at him for a long while and then asked, "Why did you take me here?" After that, she shook her head gently, "What you said just now means that... you want to use me to threaten Isaac, right?"
She had been in the Bai family for so many years, and her mother no longer worked in the Bai family. Among the people in the Bai family, only Issac had something to do with her. So, did Maxwell want to use her and Arvis to threaten Isaac?
What on earth... had Issac done to annoy Maxwell?
Although she was worried, she didn't feel terrible, so the worry in her heart disappeared very soon.
It seemed that she was really not fated with Issac. She was hurt because of him three years ago, and at this time, she was caught again because of him.
"You'd better not ask something that you shouldn't know. Even if you ask it, I won't give you an answer and it will be a waste of your energy. From now on, you'd better pray that I will get the result I want. Otherwise..."
