Chapter 1004: 1004. I remember who this man is now

She had a pair of beautiful eyebrows, which suddenly twisted into a frown, "Brocade Cloud Hotel?"

"Yes, when I entered the Brocade Cloud Hotel, that man was arguing with a woman at the door. They were arguing fiercely."

"That woman accused him of sneaking off to some third-rate hotel to fool around with women, and she slapped him. When I arrived, I happened to witness that scene."

"At the time, I was focused on going upstairs to find you and didn’t pay much attention to him, but after thinking back to what happened nine years ago, he suddenly came to mind."

Adam’s brows furrowed even more upon hearing this.

"It can’t be just a coincidence that he was there; it must be related to that incident of mine."

Adam’s voice lowered a few notches as he continued,

"Now that he’s appeared around Aunt Lily, what else could that imply?"

Adam let out a cold laugh, and his eyes grew even deeper.

Elly’s face also darkened as she spoke in a low voice,

"It suggests that what happened nine years ago also involves Lily Bankston."

Nine years ago, she was someone Adam respected and trusted unconditionally. It would have been all too easy for her to scheme against Adam.

"At the banquet at the President’s mansion nine years ago, perhaps Aunt Lily was there too."

Adam had already learned some details about the incident from Robert Green nine years ago.

And he knew that it was there, at the President’s mansion, that he was drugged and secretly taken away.

The security at the President’s mansion was strict; outsiders couldn’t possibly get in.

Therefore, the person capable of drugging him and taking him away could very likely be someone from the party.

Since Lily’s people were at the Brocade Cloud Hotel nine years ago, then it’s very likely that she was at that evening party as well.

"Although you can’t remember what happened back then, the banquets at the President’s mansion are no secret. If you ask your grandmother, you can confirm whether Lily attended that particular evening."

Even if someone managed to sneak a drug into the President’s mansion, there was no guarantee that Adam would drink it.

Nor was it assured that after being affected, he wouldn’t become suspicious.

The only person who could manage that was Lily.

Adam’s face was stern as he nodded in agreement.

Seeing his spirit dampen, Elly spoke softly to comfort him,

"Don’t worry, the mastermind behind the scenes has been hiding for more than twenty years. The fact that we’ve only just noticed them shows how skilled and cautious they are in concealing themselves. Besides, I suspect that Aunt Lily isn’t the true mastermind."

Speaking of Lily, Elly still found her to be a contradiction.

It was impossible for someone who had earned her family head’s trust like that to always be harboring schemes against him.

But all the evidence pointed to Lily having issues.

What was her motive, after all?

Elly couldn’t figure it out unless Lily herself answered what she was after. Otherwise, it just didn’t make sense.

"Hmm, we’ll take it slow."

Adam naturally took his wife’s words to heart. Not wanting to show any unpleasant emotions that might worry her, he hid all the dark moods from his face.

"Adam."

After a long silence, Elly softly called out to Adam again.

"Hmm?"

"Our son... he asked about you today."

When talking about William, a faint sense of self-reproach flashed through Elly’s eyes.

At the same moment, Adam’s body stiffened as well.

Ever since he realized that he had a strong urge to choke the child he had with Elly, he had dared not mention the child at all.

Not just the one in his wife’s womb but also their first child, little William.

Since coming back, he hadn’t dared to see that child, afraid that he might do something in a moment of impulsiveness that he would regret for the rest of his life.
