Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Everyone unanimously decided to follow Colby's suggestion.

In just a short while, tasks were fully delegated.

The night was deep and silent.

Adler, driving with Jenna, sped towards the Tredgold family estate.

After parking, Jenna noticed Adler hesitated to leave the car.

"Don't worry, I'm right here beside you."

Jenna took Adler's hand.

She understood Adler's concern.

If it turned out Wesley was indeed the leader behind The Silent Shadows, it could very well spark a war.

By then, they would have to stand against Wesley.

No matter what, that was Adler's father.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Jenna, I never thought this day would come."

Sitting in the car, Adler showed a look of desolation he had never revealed before.

He had always known his father didn't love him, nor did he love Adler's mother; to Wesley, this family meant nothing.

He didn't even truly understand his father. If it weren't for Elodie's arrival at the Aldridge Estate today, revealing her suspicions, he wouldn't have thought his father could be involved with The Silent Shadows.

"I want to ask you, if... I mean, if your father is really involved with The Silent Shadows, what will you do?"

Jenna looked at Adler with concern.

Colby was her brother, but Wesley was also Adler's father.

Blood was blood.

"I... don't know."

Adler shook his head softly.

To him, being the young master of the Tredgold family didn't matter.

But the blood of the Tredgold family ran through his veins.

That would never change.

If it came to a point where he had to choose sides, he didn't know whether he should help Colby or remain a bystander.

Jenna could see the turmoil inside Adler and squeezed his hand tighter: "Stop worrying, maybe... we're wrong." Whether they were wrong or not, they would find out everything today just by entering the Tredgold family's doors. Adler clasped Jenna's hand in return, and together they walked into the Tredgold family estate.

The grand doors of the Tredgold family were open, lights on in the living room, but no one was to be seen.

Seeing Adler, the maid approached him with a joyful expression: "Young master what brings you back today? Are you here to see the lady? She just finished dinner; I'll go call her down for you." en

"No need."

Adler stopped the maid and asked, "Where's my dad?"

"The sir? He hasn't returned yet."

"Is he busy with work?"

"Most likely. But sir hasn't been home these past few days; he must be on a business trip." The maid looked puzzled: "Young master, why the sudden interest in the company's affairs?"

Adler had always shown the least interest in company matters, making this inquiry about his father and the company unprecedented.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to bring Jenna to meet him and discuss our engagement."

Adler made up an excuse on the spot.

Hearing this, the maid became even more delighted: "The young master getting engaged? The sir and lady would be thrilled!" Jenna, listening on the side, thought the maid's words were nonsense.

She didn't know whether Adler's

"Jenna and I will go up to see mom; you all can carry on."

Adler said casually, indeed not keen on having anyone disturb them on the second floor.
