Chapter 483
‘Well, about that…”
Adie’s eyes darted around as he contemplated the question. He figured that he
could not possibly let this man know that he was the villain Stefan Hunt’s own
son himself, since that would lessen the chances that he would want to be his
mother’s helper.
With that in mind, he told the man in a serious tone, “My daddy is Liam
Osborne. You do know him, don’t you? Mommy told me that he’s not too shabby
himself. He’s the future heir to the Osborne family, which is one of the eight
great families of Beach City. Mommy also said that with the combined strengths

of the Osborne family and the Everheart family, defeating the Hunt family is only
a matter of time!”
“Is that so? Hmph, your mommy is pretty ambitious, isn’t she?”
Mr. Q’s words sounded especially curt and surly, as if he was upset about
something.
‘Briar Desrosiers, you sly woman! How dare you lie to me?!’
‘But it’s fine,’ he thought. ‘It doesn’t matter whether this kid has the blood of the
Hunt family or not. As long as he’s Renee Everheart’s son, then this deal is
definitely worth it!’
Without any emotion on his face, he opened the car door and stepped out,
striding into the pawnshop with his long legs.
Adie, utterly unafraid, followed him in bouncing little steps, as if it was just
another normal day of going back home for him. He was truly a free

An attractive young man in a long white coat warmly greeted the man as soon
as he got inside.
“You’re back, Mr. Q! So… this is the priceless treasure you were talking about?”
The young man was called Chase Cheever. He was the person in charge of the
Carmine Pawnshop. Although he was still young, he was gifted with a pair of
shrewd piercing eyes that made him the leading figure in the item appraisal
circle. Everything in the pawnshop had to go through his appraisal before they
were accepted here.
As Chase noticed Adie, he looked the boy up and down, scrutinizing him, before
displaying a confused expression.
“What an adorable baby this boy is! He is good-looking, for sure, but I can tell at
a glance that he’s been brought up like a prince. He won’t be able to work much,
and he won’t be worth that much money either. What need do we have for
someone like him?”
He had heard a few days ago that Mr. Q would go out and procure a new ‘ rare
treasure’ he had found himself. He had not slept at all after hearing that, as he
was just too excited to see what Mr. Q would bring back. But this is just… a
useless brat?!
“You don’t need to know anything about that,” replied Mr. Q. “All you need to do
is make sure he is well taken care of in the next few days.”
Mr. Q put his hands in his pockets and turned around to look at Adie with a
somewhat cold attitude, as if trying to maintain a distance from the boy. But then
Adie unexpectedly ran up to him and clung onto his leg like a koala bear before
declaring in a pure childlike voice, “I knew you’re a good person, Little Q!”
Mr. Q’s whole body stiffened. He neither pushed the boy away nor embraced
him.
Adie raised his soft and chubby face and smiled as brightly as a flower in full
bloom. Then, in a voice that sounded as adult-like as he could muster, he said,
“Congratulations. You passed my test. I can introduce you to Mommy without
any worries now. If you work hard as her helper from now on, your future will be
bright!”
Both Mr. Q and Chase were rendered speechless.
Chase began to understand why his boss wanted this little brat now. His
audacity and courage alone were beyond the reach of some adults. He was
indeed a precious gem, and if they continued to polish him, the power he might
attain in the future could be immeasurable!
He assumed that the brat’s antics would lead Mr. Q to erupt in rage. After all,
rumors had it that he despised being physically close to anyone.
Surprisingly, not only did he not lose his temper, he even gently caressed the
boy’s head and gently reminded him, “Don’t get cheeky.”
Could… Could it be that this little brat was actually Mr. Q’s illegitimate son?!
The next day, Leia gingerly unlocked the door to Renee’s bedroom and
cautiously leaned half of her body into the room, and looked around.
All she saw was everything in the room in impeccable order just as it had
always been. There was not a trace in there to suggest that anything ”
passionate’ had happened last night as she expected.
Her best friend Renee was lying on the bed with her back turned towards the
door. She was sleeping very soundly, wrapped up in a thick beige blanke
