The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 483

"Well, about that…"

Adie's eyes darted around as he contemplated the question. He figured that he could not possibly let this man know that he was the villain Stefan Hunt's own son himself, since that would lessen the chances that he would want to be his mother's helper.

With that in mind, he told the man in a serious tone, "My daddy is Liam Osborne. You do know him, don't you? Mommy told me that he's not too shabby himself. He's the future heir to the Osborne family, which is one of the eight great families of Beach City. Mommy also said that with the combined strengths of the Osborne family and the Everheart family, defeating the Hunt family is only a matter of time!"

"Is that so? Hmph, your mommy is pretty ambitious, isn't she?"

Mr. Q's words sounded especially curt and surly, as if he was upset about something.

'Briar Desrosiers, you sly woman! How dare you lie to me?!'

'But it's fine,' he thought. 'It doesn't matter whether this kid has the blood of the Hunt family or not. As long as he's Renee Everheart's son, then this deal is definitely worth it!'

Without any emotion on his face, he opened the car door and stepped out, striding into the pawnshop with his long legs.

Adie, utterly unafraid, followed him in bouncing little steps, as if it was just another normal day of going back home for him. He was truly a free spirit.

An attractive young man in a long white coat warmly greeted the man as soon as he got inside.

"You're back, Mr. Q! So… this is the priceless treasure you were talking about?"

The young man was called Chase Cheever. He was the person in charge of the Carmine Pawnshop. Although he was still young, he was gifted with a pair of shrewd piercing eyes that made him the leading figure in the item appraisal circle. Everything in the pawnshop had to go through his appraisal before they were accepted here.

As Chase noticed Adie, he looked the boy up and down, scrutinizing him, before displaying a confused expression.

He assumed that the brat's antics would lead Mr. Q to erupt in rage. After all, rumors had it that he despised being physically close to anyone. Surprisingly, not only did he not lose his temper, he even gently caressed the boy's head and gently reminded him, "Don't get cheeky."

Could… Could it be that this little brat was actually Mr. Q's illegitimate son?!

…

The next day, Leia gingerly unlocked the door to Renee's bedroom and cautiously leaned half of her body into the room, and looked around.

All she saw was everything in the room in impeccable order just as it had always been. There was not a trace in there to suggest that anything "passionate" had happened last night as she expected.

Her best friend Renee was lying on the bed with her back turned towards the door. She was sleeping very soundly, wrapped up in a thick beige blanket.
