“Come here and squeeze in with me!”Noticing that there was no space left in the car, Adaline squeezed herself inward.“The car is overloaded, Ada. He won’t fit,” said Stella.“She’s right. It’s packed in here. Let’s not bring along the deadbeat, shall we?” said one of the women.Adaline pursed her lips. In truth, she felt upset to hear her friends criticizing Adrian in this manner. However, she could not chastise them because her status was inferior to theirs.The driver, Kevan, said to Adrian, “You aren’t going to fit. Sorry, but we have to leave you behind.”“It’s fine, I’ll walk. Which hotel are you going to?” said Adrian.“Hahaha!” Kevan and the others burst out laughing. “Sure, you can walk then. I’d like to see which is faster—your legs or my car! See you at Swallowston Hotel!”Kevan started the engine.Adaline suddenly tossed fifteen dollars from the window just as the car sped off. “Get yourself a cab and go home! Don’t come! They’re going to make you the laughing sto

Adaline tilted back her head in preparation to drink.Suddenly, Adrian snatched the glass from her and said, “Don’t drink if you don’t want to. No one here can force you to drink without your consent.”Adaline was instantly panic-stricken as Adrian poured the contents of the glass onto the floor.The people at the scene were astounded. They had not expected Adaline’s deadbeat brother to pour away Harry’s drink.On the other side of the table, Harry was clearly infuriated upon witnessing this scene. He pointed at Adrian and asked Kevan, “Kev, who’s this?”Kevan scoffed. “He’s Ada’s elder brother and also Samantha Cowell’s husband. He’s the guy who pretended to be a big shot in the city yesterday.”“Hey, deadbeat. That was really bold of you. How dare you pour away Harry’s drink!”“F*ck you! Bow down and apologize to Harry right now! Otherwise, you won’t be spared!” Stella knew that Kevan and Harry were good friends so she angrily reprimanded Adrian on behalf of Harry.Adaline al

Harry was the nephew of the underworld’s Bo “Boxchamp” Lynch. He was renowned in the underworld for his fighting skills.However, he was blown away while Adrian remained completely unscathed.‘What the heck is going on?’Everyone was dumbfounded and they were confused over what just transpired.Harry was puzzled as well. He did not see Adrian move at all, yet he felt a painful sensation in his waist before he was instantly blown away.“What the heck is going on?” Harry was astounded.The rest of the group widened their eyes in shock as well.Kevan quickly helped Harry to his feet. “What the heck happened to you, Harry? How did you get blown away?”Stella was stunned. “Harry, what’s with you?”“I missed, I missed.”Even though Harry could not figure out what had happened, he was right about missing.Everyone was doubtful upon hearing that Harry said he had missed.‘Even if you missed, you couldn’t have missed so badly that you got blown away, right? If you missed, shouldn’t

In their opinion, not only Adrian would be doomed when Bo got here. Perhaps Adaline and her sister-in-law, Samantha, would become Harry’s playthings too.The men in the group envied Harry. They were jealous because Adaline and her sister-in-law were the rare beauties of Swallowston.Adaline held tightly onto Adrian’s hand as she listened to the conversation around her. She kept her head lowered. Her pearly whites clenched tight as she trembled. She regretted coming here with Stella.Suddenly, a commotion was heard coming from outside the hotel. The group was puzzled and did not know what was happening.Kevan motioned for one of the waiters and asked, “You there, what’s going on outside the hotel? What’s with the chaos and noise?”The waiter explained, “Our company’s president came and notified us to escort out all of the restaurant’s guests earlier. The hotel has also been sealed off. It seems that something bad has happened to the hotel. However, your group is the only exception.

Realizing that Adrian still sounded so stubborn, Adaline panicked. “Uncle Julian, Uncle Bo, I’m truly sorry that my brother is so ignorant. Please forgive him and let him go.“He didn’t do it on purpose!”Bo and Julian’s eyes darted toward Adaline in unison. However, it was very apparent that they could not be bothered by her plea.Meanwhile, Bo said, “I don’t care if he did it on purpose or not. My whole life, I’ve thoroughly loathed dealing with trivial matters. Since he’s so stubborn, I’m going to let him experience the consequences of being conceited today.“Don’t touch his legs so that I can break them!” commanded Bo.“Please allow me to make a call before you beat me up,” said Adrian as he smiled.Bo was slightly taken aback. Next to him, Harry sneered and said, “Why? Are you trying to get someone to help you? Hahaha, who’s going to come for someone like you?”Kevan burst out laughing as well.Stella covered her mouth and chuckled incessantly. “That’s really funny. You da
