Ruth and Grace had no idea who Adair was, but they quickly deduced who he was from his sentence and that of Olivia's. "What are you doing here?" Olivia asked, narrowing her eyes at him. "Oh, that." Adair smiled, scratching the back of his head, "My mother-in-law told me she owes someone ten million dollars. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because someone greedy has her eyes on Crystal Palace which belongs to me." "I take it this is Layla's useless son-in-law, Adair Huxley." Ruth was fast to grasp onto who he was. Adair looked behind Olivia and pinned his eyes on Ruth. Grace looked more like a lackey, so Adair quickly knew who the boss was. "I take it you're the one my mother-in-law owes ten million dollars and the one who gave her an IOU." Adair mumbled, taking the seat Layla had sat on when she played mahjong with them. His eyes settled on the mahjong boards and he drew one closer to himself. "I have another proposal for you." "What do you think you're doing, Adair?" Oliv

Jordan walked into the hospital, clad in his black suit as usual. He walked towards the tall figure who sat on a chair, a hand supporting his chin. "I've assigned someone to find out what attacked your father-in-law." Jordan mentioned when he got closer. "I'm sorry such a thing happened, Lord Adair." "A cloak and a dagger. Have you ever seen anyone with such a symbol before?" Adair asked out of nowhere, the look in his eyes signifying his thoughts were somewhere far away. Jordan paused for a moment before he shook his head, "I haven't, Lord Adair. But I can ask some people in the military. Or Sister might know something. Do you need me to find out?" "Yes. Yes, I do." Adair nodded. Jordan didn't waste any time as he whipped out his phone and placed a call to someone. After a few minutes of talking on the phone, he ended the call and returned back to Adair's side. "I have people looking into it. They should have something in an hour." He revealed, but Adair merely nodded. Jordan p

Collette walked out of her room fully dressed and in search of Adair. She met Halsey eating in the dining. "Good morning, Collette!" Halsey greeted as soon as she sighted Collette. Collette returned the smile. She first walked to the kitchen, but didn't see who she was meeting for. "Where's Adair?" She asked, returning back to the dining. "I don't know. I met my breakfast here with a note from him saying he has somewhere to be early in the morning." Halsey responded with a mouthful. She paused and pointed at something on th table. "I think he left a note for you as well." "He did?" Collette frowned, reaching for the paper. "I'll come pick you up after work. I have an early morning job interview to attend to." She read out the words on the paper before a smile lit up her face. "Collette, tomorrow is your grandmother's birthday and our family has been invited!" Collette heard Layla exclaim loudly from the living room. Collette frowned again. After the incident with her father at

"CVPD!" Someone suddenly yelled and the door to the bar was kicked open. Jared's eyes widened in shock when he saw the police and he immediately tried to run. Unfortunately for him, his bar attendant, who was a spy the cops had planted in the bar initially, tackled him to the ground. "No one moves!" A female voice yelled and every movement in the bar stopped. Adair didn't turn to look at them, but he had his eyes pinned sharply on Jared. Meanwhile, Jared tried to fight the hands of the man pinning him to the ground away. "Get your hands off me! You have no right to come into my bar and arrest me!" The undercover cop ignored his incessant rambling and held him up for a woman who was walking towards them. Jared gritted his teeth angrily when he saw her and spat out. "You don't have a warrant, do you?" "Hello, Jared. Nice to meet you again." The woman merely smiled. From her tone, others around could sense this wasn't the first time the duo was meeting. She dug out something from

"What did you say happened to your face?" Collette asked in distress as she watched Gabriel and Adair get attended to by a nurse. "We were attacked on our way back." Adair responded. "You were? And how is it possible you and my father were together?" Collette couldn't stop herself from hissing. "I got into trouble again when I went to gamble. Adair found me right on time and put himself in danger to save me." Benjamin chose to butt in at that moment. Collette was first stunned that her father had taken the initiative to speak to her before she found her tongue.*"That is what happened? It's a good thing you were around that area, Adair." Collette said, jumbling the words together in excitement. Adair's eyes rested on Zane who stood by the door with a bored expression. "Is that your friend?" He asked and Collette nodded immediately. Feeling Adair's eyes were accusing her, she quickly sat next to him and went ahead to explain, "He's a colleague at work. He has helped me so many t
