"We're going to ask you this question one last time, Mr Carson. Did you or did you not go into Miss Elsa's office when you excused yourself earlier?" Mr Ernestine asked. Adam gritted his teeth angrily. It was a trap. He should have known all along. "Yes. I did visit her office, but-""That's all we need to hear." Roberto interrupted him from behind. "Please call the head security to conduct a search on him!""You must be out of your mind, Roberto!" Adam hissed angrily. "I visited her office, doesn't mean I stole the I-Pad in her bag. What do you take me for?" "If you're as innocent as you say you are, let them search you to prove beyond reasonable doubt!" Garrett spoke up, sending glares of dagger at him. Adam gritted. "On one condition, after all this you apologize publicly for slandering me!"The security men arrived to search through his clothes. "Come on, why would I hide an I-Pad in my clothes?" Adam didn't understand what string Roberto was trying to pull. "What about his br

“Don’t tell me you’re delaying his punishment?” Roberto nudged Jake who was quietly massaging his cheeks.“Get him up!” Jake commanded, his gaze hardened.The guards pulled Adam up on his feet, as they looked him up and down. “Isn’t this the good for nothing that won the scholarship last year?” Gerald gasped.“Of course! How else could a haggard looking guy afford to attend West-Borough International College?” Daisy scoffed derisively at him.“I don’t want that good for nothing near me, take him out and beat the crap out of him!” Jake ordered.“Let me go!” Adam screamed, trying to struggle against the guards’ iron grips.Daisy pulled April out of the way and slapped Adam again. “What do you think you’re doing?” That moment, she conveyed all the hatred she had for him into his eyes.Adam knew Daisy saw him as a stumbling block for April as he was always the one preventing her from going fully astray. Once, Daisy offered him a substantial amount of money to leave her alone, but he’d refu

Outside the restaurant, Adam caught gazes with Gerald and Cleo again, right before he got into the car with Philip. "Do you care explaining what is going on right now? I'm totally lost!"Adam stared at the man without a word. He wasn't still fully sure if he could trust him, and there's no way he could place his fathers life at risk like that. "My father is still alive." Adam shocked himself by revealing the truth."And Gerald has tried to hurt him twice on a row. The last time, he delivered a water-read letter warning me to atay away from my fathers company!""Whoa..." Philip listened as Adam summarized the terrors he'd been experiencing for him. "I thought Felix was dead, oh my god. Why didn't Richard tell me?""That's exactly my question!" Adam snapped. "You guys are my father's friends, why aren't you working together to find the culprit, why are you hiding things from each other?"Philips face turned grim at the mention of that. "There are a lot of things you don't know boy."T

In the hospital, Adam paced the halls his nerves going stack with worry. "Get ready to spend the rest of your life in jail if as much as any harm comes to that man!" He slammed at Max who was seated at the waiting area, having a blank expression. His friends had jilted him when Adam kept threatening all of them, and left him to his fate. Suddenly a blonde woman rushed into grab Adams shirt. "Please what happened to my husband? Why did he faint and go unconscious?" How wife kept screaming. Adam faced Max angrily, not wanting to reveal the truth to the woman yet, she might tear him part and prove how crazy she was. "Please calm down, ma'am. The Doctors are trying their best revive him already!"Mitchell paced the hall, sobbing aloud and crying. "I heard from some company staffs that he was pushed by a colleague! I'll tear that person part for daring to touch my husband!?"Her words sent a shiver of fear down Max spine and a smile of happiness up Adam's face. He didn't even need to

Adam put on his headphones, adjusting the vol of his speakers. "Can you hear me now?" He asked the man on the other side of the video call. "Yea. Loud and clear." Philip replied with a smile. "It's so good to see you again, pal. How have you been?""All well and good." Adam replied. "And your girlfriend?" Philip chuckled. "I don't have a girlfriend, sir. I'm divorced and-" Adam was interrupted by his low laughter. "I was referring to Cleo. Hope she hasn't gotten herself killed yet?" His face turned grim. "That's the issue, Philip. She's so stubborn that no matter what I say, she never listens!" Adam sighed angrily. "She keep risking her life I keep warning her and she keep brushing me off.""Some people are just wired to love danger and adrenaline rush." Philip shrugged. "It reminds me of her father back in the day, the man was the most stubborn person I've ever met in this life, he literally wouldn't spend a day without getting himself in danger!"Adam listened as the man earne
