Lawrence took a confrontational step towards Adrian, but Leon placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him from going any further. “You need to calm down, Mr. Smith,” he reasoned. “I don’t think that young man would have done anything to your girlfriend.”Lawrence shrugged off Leon’s grip on his shoulders as his words flew over his head, and his furious gaze still remained trained on Adrian.“I saw him!” He argued, still insisting on his accusations. “I saw him spit on her leg after which she started acting like that,” he gestured towards Tiffany who was now rolling around on the floor like a mad woman.Some of the guests at the lobby felt sorry for her, while the others found the sight funny as they brought out their phones and took videos.Tiffany badly wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Never in her life had she been so embarrassed. She tried to control her reactions so she wouldn’t disgrace herself further, but the more she tried, the worse the electric tingles bec

“Damnit! I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life! How dare they?!” Lawrence spat out, his eyes flickering with fury as he paced the living room of the penthouse suite that had been allocated to him in the Royal Palace Hotel.He had been left with no choice but to utilize the hotel after being kicked out from Alpha Hotel, making his anger boil over.Tiffany was now lying on the bed, sleeping soundly after Kai had used some of his dark energy to neutralize the electrical shocks in her body.Kai stood at a corner of the room, his eyes following his boss’s every move.“What do we do now, boss?” Kai questioned as soon as Lawrence stopped pacing. “It seems that The Youngs’ won’t be on your side for this campaign.”“Don’t you think I know that?” Lawrence snapped as he spun around to face Kai. “I was never planning to convince them the normal way after all. I just need to meet with Edward Young first, every other thing will be solved by the Yao Jin pill.” He finished with a hint of a smirk.

The next day rolled by quickly and Adrian decided to visit his father and have a conversation with him before going to Jordan Wayne’s birthday party.He arrived at his father’s manor, and admired the surroundings, feeling a bit of nostalgia as he thought back to the first time he had been there.It seemed like such a long time ago when Jonah Leigh had brought a skeptical him to see Sir. Edward. That day had completely changed his life and he’d forever cherish the memory.“Greetings, young master,” A male steward bowed respectfully to Adrian as soon as he stepped out of his car, and towards the mansion.“Greetings to you too…” He trailed off, and the steward realizing that Adrian was waiting for him to say his name, spoke up instantly, “Pemberly,” the steward mentioned. “Call me Pemberly, sir.”“Alright, well, greetings to you too, Pemberly,” Adrian acknowledged. “Is my father in?” “Yes, young master. He’s having his breakfast as we speak.”“Great,” Adrian chirped, his stomach alrea

“Alright, then,” Sebastian nodded in agreement with Nathan as he leaned back in his chair and twirled the wine in his glass. “My family’s company owns a news publishing subsidiary, so I’ll reach out to them with whatever rumor you want to spread, and we’ll get the ball rolling. By next week Monday, Anita should be topping the tabloids.” “Ooh…I like the sound of that,” Natalie giggled, her body thrumming with anticipation of what was to befall Anita. A sly but effective idea popped up in her head that instant and she decided to share it. “May I suggest a rumor that will get everyone talking?” She asked a little too enthusiastically. Nathan noticed the mischievous and eager look on her face, and he smirked. Turning to Sebastian, he raised his brow as though he was asking for permission, and Sebastian nodded for Natalie to go ahead. “Okay,” she began, tapping her chin in an exaggerated manner. “I was thinking we could accuse her of cheating on her husband by sleeping with the ow

Everyone watched with curiosity as a man stepped forward, and the guests parted a clear way for him to pass through. When he came into view, nobody recognized him, and they whispered amongst each other, wondering who he was.Cole turned to the man and raised an inquisitive brow. “May I know who you are, and why you’ll like to taste the whiskeys?”The man let out a polite smile as he came to a stop next to the scene. His gaze swept from Cole, to Nolan, then Adrian and Audrey before returning back to Cole.“My name is Joshua Weston, and I’m a professional whiskey connoisseur,” the man introduced as he pointed to himself. “Actually, I came here on behalf of my boss, Aiden Johnson, a luxury whiskey dealer. He’s supposed to be at this party, but he had an impromptu trip to make. That’s why no one recognizes me, I’m not a really known face, but I can taste the whiskeys and confirm their authenticity.”“Well, if you’re not really a known face, why should we trust your ability to detect genu
