Chapter 286 Fabricated
Natalie shut her eyes tight. Adrian helped her into the car. Noticing her messy clothes, he frowned, his eyes darkening. With a stern face, he got out and walked toward the unconscious middle-aged man on the ground.
Five seconds later, the man screamed in agony.
Midnight, Bayview Villa.
Colby walked out of the bedroom, looked at Adrian, and nodded. "She's fine. She inhaled too much ether and passed out. She'll be okay after some sleep."
In the study, Adrian sat on the sofa, finally looking less tense.
Colby walked over. "You're worried about her, aren't you? Don't you trust my medical skills?"
Adrian's voice was cold. He looked at Colby, seeing the teasing in his eyes. "I'm not worried about her."
"Then why did you have me rush over in the middle of the night?" Colby knew Adrian too well.
Natalie always brought out different emotions in Adrian.
Adrian scowled, annoyed. "Get lost."
"Seriously? That's harsh." Colby sat on the sofa, crossing his legs. He grabbed a pillow, placed it behind his head, and leaned back. "I'm not leaving. I'm sleeping here tonight."
Adrian smirked and took out his phone. "Hello, I'm the owner of Building A. Could you send security over? There's someone in my house..."
Colby quickly got up. "Alright, alright, I'll leave. No need to call security. You win." He laughed. "I won't interrupt your alone time with Ms. Teeger!"
As Colby walked to the door, Adrian called out, "Colby, is there a way to determine the DNA of a fetus while the woman is still pregnant?"
Colby turned around, rubbing his chin. "It's possible, but not accurate. It's better to wait until the baby is born for a precise test." He looked at Adrian's expression and frowned. "Adrian, are you doubting the baby Alice is carrying?"
Adrian nodded.
Colby said, "Be cautious, but Alice is your savior. She doesn't seem like the type to cheat on you."
Adrian knew Alice had saved him, and he had promised to marry her. "But that doesn't mean she wouldn't do something wrong just to marry me!"
Colby calculated the time. "In four months, you'll know if the baby is yours. But don't you find Alice a bit strange?"
Adrian lit a cigarette and raised an eyebrow. "What do you find strange about her?"
Colby hadn't spent much time with Alice, but he didn't like her. Alice seemed pure and kind, but he had once seen her slap Natalie. That vicious side didn't match the gentle persona she showed around Adrian.
"Don't you think she's a bit two-faced? She's gentle in front of you, but not so much in private," Colby said slowly, "But maybe she just wants to show her best side to you, which is normal."
She was just too hypocritical.
As Adrian's good friend, Colby couldn't stand Alice. He was shocked when he found out Adrian was going to marry her.
Adrian sat on the brown leather sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. "I need you to look into someone for me."
Colby asked, "Who?"
Adrian said, "A man named Frank Harris. See who he's been in contact with and if his account has received any large sums of money."
Adrian squinted his eyes. After calming down and thinking it over, he realized there might have been a problem somewhere.
Frank Harris had inexplicably appeared in the photos of the documents. Adrian had found Frank and naturally obtained the information. But the information could be fabricated, and people could be bought.
