บท 126: Under the Guise of Protection (2)

It had been two weeks. Two fucking weeks since her last visit to Jinxiu Garden and Lennox's words continued to play in her mind even through the late nights. It was whispering to her, taunting her, reminding her of her weaknesses and vulnerability. But what was worse was his suggestion to put a person on her side to keep an eye on her under the guise of protection.

Adrienne knew Lennox was nothing like Alistair and it wasn't his fault she was reacting like this. The memories of her previous life continued to haunt her, giving her nightmares as if trying to remind her not to forget the cost of her foolishness. However, in the end, Adrienne begrudgingly agreed and accepted Lennox's trusted aid to be on her side.

Adrienne was at home when Irina arrived at the Jiang estate. She was reading another book about finance when Mother Wang came to her to announce the other woman's arrival.
