CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: THE EVERETT FAMILY’S DAUGHTER WAS LOST BY ISABELLE EVERETT

Listening to the information given by Adrian Grant, Raina Lowell was in a daze.

The lost daughter of The Everett Family was about her age, and she carried the identical Golden Key as Ethan Everett.

Her grandfather instilled in her from a young age that her parents were far away, and even he didn’t know when they would return.

Later, as she grew up, she assumed her parents had passed away, and her grandfather just didn’t want her to be sad, so he said they were far away.

Afterwards, she never continued to ask about her parents.

Raina Lowell dared not consider any blood relations with Ethan Everett.

That kind of Golden Key pendant might just be a souvenir.

Perhaps many people have it.

She just shouldn’t think too much about it.

The doctor finished treating the wound, gathered his things, and left.

Adrian Grant sat down beside her and asked sternly again:

"Did Ethan Everett take you from Lowell Manor?"

He had already asked Caleb Landon to call the police and have Ethan Everett arrested for intentional assault.

Though the police can’t do much to Ethan Everett for such minor injuries, he needs to be taught a lesson.

And Isabelle Everett, who usually appears gentle and knowledgeable, how could she be so ruthless to want to hurt Raina.

If he had been a step late, Raina might have been hurt more severely.

Raina Lowell lied, "I wasn’t feeling well so I came to the hospital for a check-up. I ran into Ethan Everett at the entrance, and he dragged me to Isabelle Everett’s ward."

He received her call and should know the situation.

Adrian Grant didn’t think much of it, softened his voice, and comforted her:

"If you’re not feeling well, I’ll have Elias look after you. There’s no need to run to the hospital yourself."

"If you hadn’t called me, you’d be dead at the hands of those siblings by now. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get justice."

Raina Lowell avoided his touch, feeling that her mind was still clear and didn’t need hospitalization.

She got off the bed and left.

"Take me home, please!"

Adrian Grant raised his hand to support her.

On the way back to Lowell Manor, Raina Lowell asked curiously:

"Did The Everett Family search for their lost daughter? Or did they just not care about her after having Isabelle Everett?"

Knowing full well that the key pendant might be sold everywhere, and many people could have it.

She and Ethan Everett having it is just a coincidence.

But she couldn’t help wanting to understand The Everett Family’s situation.

Adrian Grant, while driving, glanced at Raina Lowell.

Seeing her concerned about The Everett Family matters again, he didn’t understand but patiently explained:

"They looked for her; in the years following the loss, they searched frantically. Mrs. Everett was severely depressed because of it."

"You probably don’t know, Isabelle Everett might seem glamorous and polished on the outside, but Mr. and Mrs. Everett don’t favor her because they’ve always thought she caused their daughter to be lost."

"If it weren’t for Ethan Everett constantly defending Isabelle Everett, she would have been expelled from The Everett Family long ago."

That’s why he sympathized and cared for Isabelle Everett.

Maybe as time went by, Mr. and Mrs. Everett started to accept Isabelle Everett.

Raina Lowell stared at the back of the passenger seat, contemplating Adrian Grant’s words.

Could The Everett Family’s daughter possibly have been lost because of Isabelle Everett?

Hah, knowing Isabelle Everett, she probably did it.

Because she thought that without the Everett daughter, she would become their daughter and claim everything belonging to her.

Seeing Adrian Grant about to take her to Lowell Manor, Raina Lowell changed her mind:

"Can you take me to see Evelyn? I want to be with Evelyn."

With Isabelle Everett not around, there’s no need to deal with this man.

The longer she stayed with him, the more suppressed her heart felt.

She must find another way to provoke Isabelle Everett into revealing her malicious intent.

"That’s fine; having Evelyn with you, I can feel at ease."

Adrian Grant didn’t refuse but turned the car around.

After dropping her at the door and seeing Alaric Jennings open it, Adrian felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy.

Especially since once Raina stepped inside, she didn’t even say goodbye nor invited him in to rest – she left without turning back.

He wanted to remind her of a couple of things but hesitated.

Alaric Jennings, with a stern expression, stood at the door and asked him, "President Grant, do you have any other business?"

Adrian Grant realized this was the child’s father, and he had marital ties to Isabelle Everett, making him unqualified to dictate who Raina should be with.

Despite being quite concerned about Raina being with Alaric Jennings, he said nothing and turned to leave.

Alaric Jennings closed the door and walked to the living room to ask Raina Lowell.

"How did you injure your head?"

Raina Lowell removed the key pendant from her son’s neck, contemplating the one in Ethan Everett’s hand.

The two keys seemed to be able to form a complete one.

Not all key pendants are the same.

So her having the same key pendant as Ethan Everett – was it coincidence, or was there some connection?

Raina Lowell was deep in thought, not hearing what Alaric Jennings was saying.

Until her son called out to her, "Mom, is there something wrong with this key? You’ve been staring at it."

"Also, how did you get hurt again? Is it serious? Who hurt you?"

Raina Lowell snapped back and told her son:

"Mom’s fine, can Mom keep this? I’ll buy you a prettier one later."

Evelyn didn’t mind, "It was Mom who gave it to me, so you can take it. When I earn money, I’ll buy you a bigger one."

Raina Lowell put away the key, patted her son’s head, and looked at Alaric Jennings.

"What did you say just now?"

Alaric Jennings sat down next to her, "I asked how you injured your head, was it Adrian Grant?"

Given her recent attitude toward Adrian Grant wasn’t good.

If there was another disagreement with Adrian Grant, at this juncture, Raina would not have been likely to turn against Adrian Grant since she needed him to retaliate against Isabelle Everett.

"No, it was Ethan Everett."

Raina Lowell looked at Alaric Jennings again, "Do you know Ethan Everett too?"

Since they can discuss collaboration with Alaric Jennings, they must be acquainted.

Knowing she and Ethan Everett have identical keys, it might just be coincidence, yet she couldn’t help but want to do a paternity test.

"Not well; we attempted cooperation previously, but it was canceled. Why did Ethan Everett hurt you?"

It seemed he had to secretly arrange protection for Raina. She kept getting into trouble and injured; what if she lost her life one day?

He couldn’t heed Raina’s advice; he had to act according to his plan.

"Because I also injured Isabelle Everett severely."

Raina Lowell didn’t mind the head injury.

Her mind was fully occupied with Ethan Everett and Adrian Grant, fearing they might be connected to her in any way.

Afraid Adrian Grant might be her child’s father.

She only wished for revenge now and wanted no further entanglements with them.

Hospital.

Adrian Grant entered Isabelle Everett’s ward, his face like ice:

"If I hadn’t come, were you and your brother planning to destroy Raina Lowell?"

Ethan Everett had already been taken to the detention center.

But within a couple of days, The Everett Family would surely get him bailed out.

What he needed now was to use this opportunity to break off the engagement with Isabelle Everett.

"No, Adrian, it’s not what you think; my brother was protecting me, wanting to avenge me. I was afraid he might harm Raina, so when I just grabbed the knife, you arrived."

Isabelle Everett strongly defended herself.
