Chapter 185
“Why the hell are you shouting in the middle of the night? Have some decency! I have to work tomorrow!”
“Are you out of your mind? Keep yelling, and I’m calling the cops!”
“Just go to the hospital if you’re mentally ill. Stop disturbing everyone!”
The furious residents shouted at Brad from their windows. Some even called the property management to get rid of this lunatic‘.
Alex had never been more embarrassed in his life. He desperately tried to restrain the drunken Brad, hoping he would calm down.
But the drunkard wouldn’t listen. Instead, Brad bit Alex’s hand and screamed even louder.
Hearing the residents‘ curses, Brad defiantly addressed everyone with unwavering resolve, “Help me shout Nadine’s name, and I’ll pay you!”

With that, he stumbled back to the car and returned with a thick wad of cash. He then shouted at those who had been scolding him, “All of these are yours if you can help me get Nadine out!”
Seeing the stack of bills in his hand, those who had been berating him moments ago suddenly changed their stance.
Instead of continuing their insults, they started chatting with him. “Young man, you’re calling for a lady, right?”
Brad, with a silly grin, replied, “She’s my wife.”
Everyone understood immediately. “Oh, a lovers‘ quarrel! Your wife’s ignoring you, huh? Don’t worry. help you get your wife back!”
In no time, Brad, who showed his financial power, had gathered a crowd of over 20 people.
We’ll
Even the property staff approached with a megaphone while smiling ingratiatingly at him. He made sure to confirm with Brad.
“Sir, if we get Nadine to come downstairs, this money will be ours, right? Are you sure? You’re not tricking. us, are you?”
Brad, solely focused on seeing Nadine, didn’t care about the details.
Hearing that someone could get Nadine to come downstairs, he immediately thrust the stack of money into that person’s hands and narrowed his eyes as he said, “As long as you get her down here, all of this is yours. If this is not enough, I have more.”
The sight of the cash immediately energized the property staff. “Alright, deal! I’ll get her down right now. But wait, I need to record this to make sure you don’t back out.”
He hurriedly sought help from others to record a video. As others observed, they realized that this didn’t seem like a hoax. Who wouldn’t want the stack of cash in Brad’s hands?
They didn’t give the property staff a chance to act. They all held him back and shouted Nadine’s name
toward the third floor.
“Nadine, your husband is waiting downstairs for you! He misses you!”
“Nadine, Nadine, Nadine!”
Eventually, it escalated into dozens of people standing together below, chanting Nadine’s name.
After Nadine and Avery finished playing games, they lay down to sleep.
Even though it was Sunday the next day, Nadine had to take Sean to his self–defense class and then go to
the library to study medical books. She wouldn’t have any free time, so she went to bed early.
During the time away from Brad, she woke up early, went to bed early, and her mood improved greatly. This change even enhanced her sleep quality. She often slept through the night without waking up.
Therefore, Brad’s shouting downstairs had no effect on her.
However, when many people downstairs used megaphones to shout her name in unison, she was startled awake. And she wasn’t the only one. Avery woke up, too.
