Chapter 266 Adam Spear

Did someone lock the door on purpose?

Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. She perceived something was going on.

She pursed her lips and quickly searched for her phone.

Her grandfather was about to appear. The reason why she agreed to participate in this

meeting today was that she could meet him… So, she must get to the scene as soon as

possible.

”

Natalie furrowed her brows and lowered her head to search for her phone.

She rummaged through the handbag and didn’t replace her phone……

Natalie felt frightened and anxious.

She accelerated her searching, rummaged through her handbag and even poured the

woollen blanket onto the table, but still didn’t replace any sign of her phone.

Where was her phone? Where did she put it?

Natalie was puzzled for a moment. She remembered she truly had put it in the bag.

Did someone take it?

Did someone both take her phone and lock the door of the changing room… to prevent

her from contacting people outside and keep her trapped there?

Natalie got irritated.

The person who could do this…… The first person that appeared in her mind was Niki.

Niki had been thinking day and night about how to kill her and get her down from the

position of CEO’s wife as soon as possible. It was highly likely that she did this.

But the idea only existed for a second. Natalie shook her head to drive it out.

Because someone else was more suspected this time.

That was Lara.

Lara took the initiative to bring Natalie into this dressing room and even volunteered to help her changeclothes……

Moreover, Lara appeared to be in a hurry to leave as if she had done something guilty.

There was a great possibility that it was all done by Lara.

But how did she get her phone lost? She remembered putting it next to her… Was it that Lara tookadvantage of the situation and took it away?

Natalie couldn’t help but touch her forehead, struggling to figure out what to do.

Natalie was not scared of what Lara meant to do to her.

But why did Lara choose to trouble her on such an occasion?!

She hadn’t seen her grandfather for three years… This time, she finally mustered the

courage to come and see him. However, it was going to be blocked by Lara.

Natalie felt as if there was a fire burning in her chest.

This young lady was good at seizing the chance.

Neither before the meeting nor after the meeting. It got Natalie’s nerves sharply.

Having sat there for two minutes, Natalie got more anxious. She stood up again and

walked to the front door of the dressing room.

She took a deep breath and decided to try again.

Her hands were on the marble door and hit it heavily with her hands, striving to make a

sound.

“Is there anyone? Can you hear me?”

“Is there anybody? I need help…” Natalie tried to make her voice louder.

The sound vibrated from far to near, even with some echoes……

No one answered.

In the pavilion by the water.

This was a lounge specially prepared by the organizer for the legendary expert doctor of the Spearsfamily.

Adam sat on a rocking chair woven with special vines, holding a fan in one hand and a teacup in theother.

His whole body swayed gently with the breeze, which was heavenly.

Beside him was the high-quality agarwood that had just been ignited, with a faint aroma

and a calming effect.

However, the old man seemed not very satisfied with the aroma. He raised his hand and

signalled the waiter beside him, “Come here.”

The waiter looked aside and seemed a bit unsure if the elderly person was calling him.

“What are you looking at? Here. Come here, lad…

The waiter hurried over.

Just now, his boss had ordered that he must take good care of this distinguished guest

and he must do whatever he could to satisfy the guest’s needs.

Whatever the guest might request, he must be provided with the best service.

“How may I help, sir?”

At a glance, Adam could tell that the young man in front of him was a bit nervous. His

hands were shaking behind him while he was speaking.

The old man touched his beard and smiled, “Don’t be nervous, son.”

“Ye…Yes, sir. I’m… not nervous.” The waiter touched his head to ease his emotions.

Although he said he wasn’t nervous, he was stuttering and couldn’t even speak

clearly……

“Good… Good. Stay calm.” Adam smiled, appearing very friendly and kind.

“Help me pick some blackened swallowwort by the stone,” Oliver said in a slow and leisurely tone,lifting the fan in his hand.

Fresh blackened swallowwort can help get rid of the smell in the air.

“blackened swallowwort?” The waiter walked in the direction the old man pointed.

Although he didn’t know about medicinal herbs, he still had to grit his head to do as the distinguishedguest said.

The waiter bent down and searched carefully.

‘Just now he said it’s called blackened swallowwort, so it must be black, right?’ the waiter was puzzled.

Thinking this way, he parted the grass around, looking for something black.

But the surroundings were either black brown soil or green grass. There were no black plants.

He got anxious.

There was nothing black. How could he replace blackened swallowwort……

But he didn’t dare to ask the expert doctor again, so he could only continue searching in

the grass.

Although it was wintry time now, due to psychological pressure, the waiter felt that his

forehead started to sweat.

Adam lay on the rocking chair, quietly waiting for the waiter to deliver blackened

swallowwort, but after a long time, he hadn’t seen the young man come back with the

herbs he requested.

Probably, he had been waiting for too long and started to feel sleepy.

He took down the teacup in his hand, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and

unconsciously, he began to close his eyes and fell asleep.

Some time pass… maybe half an hour, or maybe an hour.

Adam couldn’t stand the fragrance.

The scent of incense was strange. The old man felt like it was inferior upon smelling it…

He had never used such poor incense before.

The smell was all around him. Adam was wakened up from his sleep by the incense.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him.

The middle-aged man was of medium height, with a shiny and even slightly obese face; he was just anordinary person.

But the clothes on him were extremely luxurious. He didn’t look like an ordinary person in thoseclothes.

“Mr. Spears… are you awake?” Russell quickly went to help the old man as he opened his

eyes and wanted to sit up from the chair.

“Hmm.”, Adam’s tone was hollow, obviously he hadn’t totally woken up yet.

Russell cautiously helped him up.

After Adam sat up, Russell hesitated to speak.

“The… Santos Coffee, which you love to drink… I searched all over Chicago but couldn’t

replace any… …”

“I was wondering whether the ordinary coffee is acceptable. I’m really sorry.”

Russell was the organizer of this conference and the leader of the entire event,

responsible for serving various distinguished guests.

This time, he finally managed to invite the legendary doctor Adam Spears to the

conference. He was thrilled to bits.

The point was if the legendary doctor Adam Spears showed up at the conference, it

would be difficult to get an invitation card for the communication meeting. Moreover, as

the host, he would make loads of money.

Now seeing the legendary miraculous doctor appear in front of him… his heart almost jumped out of hischest.

The cash cow was in front of him and he must serve him the best food and drinks.

Russell asked his men to prepare Santos Coffee early, but they were so incapable that pp until todaythey couldn’t replace any Santos Coffee at all.

Get Boitat

“I’m terribly sorry…” Russell kept rubbing his hands, feeling regretful.

He could make so much money, but as a result, his cash cow didn’t even drink a cup of

Santos Coffee… It was unfair.

Adam didn’t take it seriously, “It’s fine.”

“Santos Coffee is only found in my place. It cannot be found anywhere else.”

Because he love drinking this coffee, he accidentally monopolized it.

“Only you have it.”

Russell doubted a bit and his tone was puzzled. “I remember last time I was in Los Angeles, I saw thiscoffee…”
