Chapter 259 Will Have Nightmares
Hearing this, Adeline paused her hand that was playing with the amethyst pendant.
At the same time, Nathan also looked over at her, his mouth slightly open.
Adeline didn't need to guess what Nathan was thinking. She rarely furrowed her brows and said, "I was switched at birth, not kidnapped."
According to Jessica and Leroy, that was indeed the case.
But Jessica and Leroy's words were obviously not trustworthy.
Adeline didn't say this out loud.
She had no feelings for Holly, who was raised by the Vanderbilt Family.
Nathan said it was because Holly looked so much like Savannah when she was young that the Vanderbilt Family showered her with love.
To Adeline, this was no different from having a substitute.
Losing a child and not being able to find them was understandable, given that the internet wasn't developed back then, facial recognition and some DNA sampling weren't perfected, and household registration checks were lax, especially in remote areas.
Human traffickers often had more cunning minds than ordinary people.
Trying to get a child back was truly harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
But for a family like the Vanderbilt Family, who saw someone similar and just raised them, Adeline couldn't understand it for the time being.
If all parents in the world did this, letting a stranger replace their daughter, what would happen to the girls who were kidnapped and were desperately hoping someone would take them home?
For some reason, Lorenzo just sensed Adeline's resistance to the Vanderbilt Family, even though she still had a smile on her face and spoke lightly.
But his intuition told him that she didn't seem to like the Vanderbilt Family that much.
Thinking of this, Lorenzo inexplicably felt a sense of indescribable loss.
He was just too eager to find Savannah, so he ignored that strange feeling in his heart and looked at Charles.
It was obvious they knew each other, just not that well.
"Hand Salvador over to me, and I owe you one." Lorenzo's voice was urgent.
This made Adeline glance at him twice.
They were already close, and even though he was injured, he still didn't forget to shield her.
Although Adeline didn't understand the Vanderbilt Family's actions, she couldn't bring herself to dislike Lorenzo.
It was really strange. Given her vengeful nature, if his family looked down on her and disturbed her and her grandmother, she would definitely make them leave.
Could it be that adversity breeds friendship?
Adeline speculated, inevitably looking at Lorenzo a bit longer.
This made Charles unconsciously press his thin lips together, and his tone became much colder. "No need. I already promised Mr. Alexander Vanderbilt that I would help with this matter."
"He's yours." Charles extended his hand, a refined smile on his face. "Shouldn't my frightened girlfriend, who is right next to you, come over now?"
Adeline smiled and walked over.
Seeing that she wasn't hurt, Charles twisted put the bracelet on her wrist.
Adeline wanted to refuse. "I can't accept this."
They were so close that she seemed to be in his arms, her nose filled with his fresh and pleasant scent.
"To calm you down, just return it to me later." Charles's deep voice was pleasant to hear. "After today's events, you're likely to have nightmares."
Nightmares?
Adeline often gave others nightmares.
"Harvey is so ugly; you'll remember him vividly." Charles gave her a good reason.
Adeline thought so too; she still hadn't forgotten that face. And Sulfur Mountain Village.
"There are other girls in the village; I can't take them all out. Every household there has dogs. When you sneak in, check the grass houses and cellars in the yards. The van I was in is responsible for transportation; it's at the third house from the village entrance. Catch him first."
