The viscous looking thug towered over the middle aged man, his bulging muscles straining against his tight black shirt. A thick gold chain hung around his neck, highlighting his menacing sneer as he hurled punches at his victim. His shaved head gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and his beady eyes shone with a sadistic joy as he continued to pummel the man on the ground. His massive arms erupted with veins as he overturned tables and smashed chairs, creating chaos and carnage around him. His entire demeanor exuded violence and aggression, with every movement calculated to inflict maximum pain and suffering. This was the owner of the casino, a man with a reputation for ruthlessness and a terrifying presence that no one dared to cross.Adair's presence stopped him from delivering a punch at Benjamin's jaw. Adair glanced at the wall clock, then directed his gaze at the owner of the casino. "You said to bring you the money in an hour. The time is yet to elapse, but you're already h

Collette paced outside the house for several minutes, glancing at the door every second. Her mother had taken her time to tell her how dangerous the owner of the casino was. And even though Adair possessed a considerable amount of physical strength, Collette doubted the owner of the casino wouldn't hurt him and her father in some way. "You don't need to worry yourself, Mrs. Huxley. Adair will be fine." Jordan reassured her with a light smile. Collette, who still had her guards up against him, stopped and briefly glanced at him. She didn't know what he wanted or why he kept trying to talk to her with any opportunity he got. She was beginning to think he was looking down on Adair as well. Well, not like she didn't look down at her husband sometimes, but no matter what, she was still married. If Jordan had any idea what she was thinking, he would've had his heart in his hands. Collette quickly turned her attention towards the door when she heard it open. She quickly rushed to Adair

"What are you doing, Collette? This will really change our lives for the better. So go ahead and accept the offer." Layla probed anxiously realizing that her daughter had no intention of making any decision soon. Collette snapped her attention towards her mother and sighed softly, "Mother, grandmother kicked me out of that family for three years and didn't bother checking up on me in any way. Then suddenly, she requests that I return back to the company and continue being its manager." "Your grandmother didn't come around in the past three years because she wanted to make sure you learnt your lesson. Have you forgotten how archaic she is when it comes to teaching the children manners?" Layla replied anxiously. "Come on, cousin. Have you forgotten your glorious days as the manager of the family's company? You're literally a laughing stock now after getting married to Adair, but grandmother has taken pity on you after coming to the agreement that you've learnt your lesson." Noah fina

"What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I do such a thing when I have the money to buy as much authentic jade as I want?!" Einstein thundered. "Authentic? An authentic jade wouldn't crumble in my hand as easily as that did." Adair sneered. "You bastard!" Those were the only words Einstein could mutter. And it was also the same words which confirmed the suspicion of everyone. Although Sarah was quite embarrassed that she had praised him so much for gifting her jade when he was actually gifting her a fake jade. Was he making mockery of her? But even if he was, there was nothing she or the rest of the family could do, and Einstein exploding from anger and executing his threat was the last thing she wanted. "I'm sure you were duped, Mr. Arnold. Because a man of your caliber won't do such a thing." Trevor thought he'd say. When he realized his words didn't have the desired effect, he quickly added, "Adair here hates it when people give gifts he can't afford. I'm sure that was the r

"You got married and you didn't think you should tell me?" Aster asked on their way back. "I'd explain everything when we get home." Collette bit down on her lower lip.Curiosity was killing Aster, but she could see the uncomfortable look on her face whenever she brought up her marriage. "Fine. I'll just keep silent and wait until we get home." Aster sulked and rested on the chair. However, she suddenly recalled something. "Please tell me Evelyn is currently filming and we won't see eye to eye?" "You won't." Collette replied curtly. "I'm relieved. Although it'd have been much better if she was dead." Aster mumbled inaudibly and Adair glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Aster happened to look towards it as well and the two locked gazes for two seconds before Adair tore away his eyes. Aster lowered her eyes onto her lap. After her encounter with Adair back at the border, she had tried every means possible to find out more about him. But couldn't because she had no name and
