After a while, the caddy car stopped slowly. While carrying a paper bag, llisa was planning to go downstairs, but she frowned as she raised her eyes.
"Where is this?"
The magnificent European-style building in front of her was not Leonard's house.
She had co to the Adlers' house not too long ago and had never investigated all the complexes, so she was unfamiliar with this house.
The security guard sitting at the front looked back faintly, leaned forward and got out of the car with a firm stance. "Master Leonhart is looking for you, co on in!"
Leonhart!
lissa clenched her palms inadvertently, she only t Leonhart a few hours ago, and now the man suddenly wants to see her?
"Quick, don't let the Patriarch wait too long!"
The security guard stood by the door and urged, his dignified gaze slightly looked disdainful.
llisa didn't delay anymore, and when she got out of the car with her bag, her eyes looked cold.
The security guard was stung by her gaze and trembled inexplicably.
This little maid's eyes were quite sharp.
No wonder he can attract the attention of his master!
After llisa and the security guard looked at each other, they walked forward, and as they approached the courtyard, llisa quickly scanned the surroundings.
It seems that this independent courtyard is more transparent and open than Leonard's villa.
Orchids are planted in a flower garden at the doorstep, surrounded by artificial creeks and rocky paths.
The scenery is unique and made with care.
llisa averted her eyes, stepped on the steps in front of the door, and a young man in his thirties walked in the hall at the right ti.
He wore a white shirt and trousers, and walked in front of llisa, nodding slightly. "I am the Patriarch's assistant, welco."
"Hello." llisa answered vaguely, and her eyes fell on the figure of the assistant nad Kevin.
Kevin looked at llisa, saw the bag in her hand, and said, "Give your bag. After seeing the Patriarch, I will return it to you!"
llisa handed the paper bag in her hand to him after hearing this. "Why is the big master looking for ?"
"Let's go in and et him!"
Kevin's tone was cold and distant, and his pair of eyes shone with sharp edges.
Being able to beco the assistant to the Adler Family Patriarch might not be sothing that ca easily.
lissa and Kevin walked into the hall side by side, and for a mont a luxurious and majestic aura swept across their faces.
Compared to Leonard's villa, this place was more luxurious and beautiful, with countless calligraphy and antique paintings.
Kevin led lissa up the spiral staircase, and they walked forward without saying a word.
At the door to the study room on the left side of the second floor, they stopped at the end, and when he opened the door, he said to lissa. "Please co in."
llisa nodded at him, and after entering the door, Kevin closed it tightly.
The study room was very spacious, the rows of neat bookshelves made it look dazzling.
There were many jade ornants on the shelves which added a sense of luxury to this solemn atmosphere.
"Finally you've co too!"
At this ti, Leonhart appeared from behind a bookcase in the corner, still holding the book in his hand while walking and reading.
"Sir." llisa nodded respectfully with a calm expression.
Leonhart took his eyes off the book and glanced at lisa, then walked over to the sofa in front of the window and sat down.
He was still in his suit, folded his legs, spread the book in his lap, and said in surprise. "So you are a woman!"
lisa was imdiately stunned.
She closed her eyes to contain her surprise. "Sir, I appreciate the good joke, but I'm a man."
Leonhart rubbed the pages of the book and stared at llisa in the air. His sharp gaze fell on her as he said, "You can lie to him but you can't lie to !"
llisa replied fearlessly. "What does the Patriarch want to say?!"
"If my guess is correct, you are the girl he t when he ran away from this house!"
Leonhart imdiately took out all the cards, and broke llisa's disguise.
It seems that the Patriarch? in charge of the entire Adler family is indeed not easy to deceive.
llisa did not speak, her eyes still looked calm.
At this ti, silence was golden but not answering was an agreent.
lisa knew very well that everything she said would most likely be used by Leonhart as a bargaining chip to intimidate and lure her in.
Only when she was silent could she see the trick.
Leonhart leaned back on the sofa leisurely, and lifted the toes of his shoes. "Why don't you speak? Isn't your mouth as wild as Lyn says? Or are you trying to guess how I'm going to test you?"
llisa's expression remained unchanged, and she spoke calmly. "Patriarch, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Do you not understand or dare not admit it?" Leonhart was displeased with llisa's denial.
Compared to the anger and ferocity he displayed in front of Leonard, the current Leonhart seed much more approachable.
llisa didn't dare to take this man lightly, and her eyes were filled with a vague warning.
Leonhart was fifty-seven years old, but since he was so well cared for, his face did not even show that he had been swallowed up by ti.
At this mont, he chuckled silently, looked down and turned the pages of the book in his hands. "Don't be nervous, I'm just calling you out of curiosity. Although this is the Adler family, it is not a cruel place. But you are a woman disguised as a man and mixed in with the Adler family, so you can't help but let know the reason, right?"
Leonhart's faint tone made llisa's heart wary.
She narrowed her pupils slightly. "Why do you accuse of being a woman?"
"Although I can't find your identity, soday it will eventually be revealed. Even if you deliberately lower your voice and wear n's clothes, the difference between n and won is still too obvious."
Leonhart's words made llisa's senses deeper.
llisa thought for a few seconds, and said directly, "Master, what do you want to do?"
From start to finish, llisa disliked this man very much!.
When Leonhart saw her ask like this, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. "You really want to deny this truth? If I said my wish, would you admit that you were a woman?"
"I have a clear conscience, there should be nothing to confess to you."
Leonhart looked at llisa with a deep gaze, and nodded seriously after a while. "Your courage is good, but your thods are wrong. But if you ca just to stir things up, then I assure you that you won't have the chance to live again!"
llisa heard his warnings and threats, smiled for a mont, and said, "I think I live in a society under the rule of law! Your words are so straightforward, aren't they? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"Causing trouble?"
Leonhart lifted his thin lips, and tossed the book onto the armrest with a smile. "Are you reminding that there will be trouble in the Adlers if I harass you?"
lissa shook her head. "I dare not, but you said it yourself."
Leonhart naturally heard llisa's tone. He took the teacup from the table and blew on the tea.. "Then instead, tell the reason you ca to my family's house."
