Chapter 166
Brad had been waiting from 1:30 pm until now. Although he looked calm, he was raging inside. He
struggled to find an outlet for his growing frustration.
Despite waiting and waiting, there was no sign of Nadine. He had opened the drawer to look at the million- dollar jewelry set countless times, but its intended recipient was nowhere to be seen.
As the clock showed 3:00 pm, he realized he was running out of time to pick Sean up. It was only then that he realized something was wrong. It dawned on him that Nadine had only asked his assistant about his schedule and never explicitly said she was coming to Hamilton Group.
He wondered if Nadine simply wanted to know his whereabouts to avoid him.
As this unsettling thought took root, Brad began to panic. If Nadine wasn’t coming, why should he keep waiting?
Just then, his phone rang. It was the butler. It was only then that he found out Nadine had taken Sean to visit his grandfather at the hospital.
She had no intention of coming to see him at Hamilton Group and had asked about his schedule specifically to avoid him.
“Nadine!” He slammed his fist on the desk and gritted his teeth. He wanted to chew her up and spit her
out.
Yet, she wasn’t there for him to vent his anger on.
After hanging up, he tossed his phone aside and sprang from his chair. With his hands on his waist, he paced to the window and glared down at the bustling street below. He was irritated beyond measure. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
He couldn’t even light a cigarette properly. After taking his first puff, he found some semblance of calm. So, Nadine was avoiding him? Fine. He’d show her that he wasn’t someone she could just sidestep. If she thought she could escape him, she was sorely mistaken.
With that resolve, he stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers without a flinch. He then grabbed his coat and headed straight for the hospital. As he left, he summoned Cameron to accompany him.
Sitting in the car with the somber Brad, Cameron couldn’t help but feel bewildered. He wondered why Brad looked even angrier than before.
Who provoked him again?
Seeing Brad’s grim expression, Cameron dared not even breathe audibly. He shrank into the corner, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the hospital that Cameron understood why Brad looked even more furious- he saw Nadine and Sean in the hospital courtyard!
Both he and Brad had assumed that Nadine would come to the company, but Nadine didn’t plan to go to the company at all.
Instead, she came to the hospital to visit Adam. Now, it seemed that Nadine had sent him the message to confirm whether Brad would come to the hospital.
In an instant, his gaze changed as he looked at Brad. Afraid of being implicated if things went south, Cameron quickly distanced himself.
“Mrs. Hamilton, you’re on your own now!” he thought to himself.
