"Enough with the joke trash. What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?" Drake asked bitterly.

"I just told you, this is my company." Adam gestured.

"You?" Drake pointed at his clothes, it was a rag compared to what Drake was wearing. Even if Adam looked good facially, his clothes were still shabby. How dare he brag about being the owner of Bulgart Industry?

Drake went hot red, "How dare you make such claims, I will report you to the authorities for false claims. We all know this industry belongs to Mr. Manchester, you'll be sorry when he finds out you're impersonating him, he's a war General you trash!"

"Go ahead then, I can't keep explaining this to you. And by the way, what are you two doing here?" Adam asked.

Drake laughed, "is that supposed to be a joke? Of course we came to see Mr. White, my family was selected as one of the contractors. And I'm going to help my future wife, Racheal, bag a contract too." He then wrapped his hands around her waist again. Racheal was feeling uncomfortable but she had to endure as long as it'll push Adam away.

"Future wife? So it means you two aren't even married yet?" Adam scoffed. He couldn't believe he went through so much drama because of Drake and he couldn't even marry Racheal.

"What do you mean asshole? We're going to get married!" Drake flared in anger.

"You're so stupid Drake. Isn't it obvious that Racheal is just using you? I doubt she truly loves you." Adam taunted.

They weren't far from the gate, so everyone outside could hear their conversation. Racheal felt embarrassed when all eyes were shot at her, she wouldn't want anyone to think she indeed used Drake, during her birthday party, rumors had already spread that she was dating Drake and she wanted it to remain that way, until she achieved what she wanted completely.

"Don't listen to him, Drake, you know he's a liar."

"I believe you babe. I know you love me." Drake quickly shrugged the thought of Racheal using him off his head.

"After all your efforts to kick me out of your life, how's that working out for you. You went as far as sending me to prison. I expect you to be married to Drake by now, I mean isn't he the reason we got divorced in the first place?" Adam continued to fuel the conversation with pressure.

Racheal felt attacked, Adam was speaking facts, she only used Drake to kick him out, she doesn't really love Drake.

"Poor Drake, I'm sure you haven't even kissed my ex wife."

"Shut up you trash! Or I'll send you back to where you came from!" Drake was vibrating in rage, he was going to tear Adam apart, but again Adam was speaking facts. He hasn't even kissed Racheal, she kept turning him down after she divorced Adam.

"You talk a lot for a man, Drake. you're pathetic!"

    The crowd outside the gate was restless, their eyes glued to the scene unfolding inside, eager for more drama. "Isn’t that the Odias’ disgrace of a son-in-law?" "Yeah, I heard he went to prison for trying to assault his sister-in-law." "What’s that ex-convict doing here?" "Probably came to cause trouble. Those kinds never change." "Look at him standing there—he thinks he can do anything?" Adam could hear every word, each insult cutting into him like a razor. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked. The crowd’s sneers were nothing new, but the shame burned all the same. "Why are you here, Adam?" Racheal hissed, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What do you want from us?" Adam’s expression darkened. "I've already told you. this is my company." "You’ve got some nerve showing your face here after everything," Drake sneered, stepping forward. "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave before things get ugly." Adam’s gaze flicked to Drake, unbothered by

    Mr. White bowed with his head low on Adam's feet. Everyone was frozen, what the hell was going on? Was Mr. White high on whiskey? "What's wrong with you, Mr. White? He's an imposter!" Drake was disgusted by Mr. White's behavior. "Shut up you imbecile!" Mr. White shot a deadly glance at Drake. Racheal was dumbstruck, doesn't Mr. White knows that Adam was their trash son-in-law? How can he bow to him? What's going on? Mr. White remained on the ground with his head low, waiting for Adam's permission to get up. "Mr. White, is this how you treat your guests? By sending your friend's son to insult me in public? To the extent he even attacked me? You know the offense that comes with that don't you?" Adam's face darkened. Mr. White was trembling with fear, the offense for attacking the supreme General is death, he was praying for time to reverse back so he could stop Drake from coming to his company, he's ruined now. With just a fingertip, Mr. Manchester could destroy his entire lineage.

    Mr. White was still on the ground, bowing to Adam, he dared not stand up without his permission. "It's just been a day since I made you the contract manager, and you've already given out a slot without my permission. You're not trustworthy Mr. White." "I'm sorry Mr. Manchester, please don't punish me, I will terminate the contract with them." "No need for that, I was going to give them a slot anyways, it's like you read my mind." Adam smirked. "You were?" Mr. White was shocked. "Yes, you can get up now." Adam instructed. Mr. White dusted himself. "So have you forgiven me?" "For now, you're still useful so I'm going to let you live." Mr. White was relieved. "I'm going to destroy the Penthouse, and for the remaining two slots, I'm going to tell you who to give it to." Adam said before leaving, he had other things to take care of before focusing on his revenge. He had to properly bury his mother and let her soul rest in peace. Adam brought out his phone and called Stacey. “Hel

    The landlord was frozen in shock, he knew for sure the apartment wasn't worth close to ten million. At best it's $500k. In less than thirty minutes Adam signed some papers as the new owner of the apartment. He instantly called some construction engineers to build a grave inside of the house and renovate the house, securing it with an iron gate and fence. It was supposed to take more than a day, but Adam ordered triple times the number of workers to make everything done before the night falls. After they finished, Adam and his men, along with Stacey, stood around the grave, dressed in black. The night was cold and quiet, just the way Adam wanted—no witnesses, no questions. The candles flickered in the breeze, their small flames dancing against the night sky. Adam stood stiffly at the edge of the grave, his fists clenched at his sides. His black shirt clung to his skin, damp from sweat, though the air was cool. The others stood silently around him, their faces drawn, their eyes

Did you go partying last night?” Monica asked with a serious face. "Adam is a nobody, how can Mr. White bow to him?" Mr. Luther raised a brow. "I'm telling you what I saw with my own two eyes, father." "That bastard, I'm sure he had blackmailed Mr. White, he's an ex-convict anything is possible." Monica scorned. "That's exactly what Drake said." "Oh, poor Drake, is he alright?" Monica said with a soft voice. "Not really, his family was already given the contract, and he went to sign the agreement papers. But after his encounter with Adam, he lost the deal, and Mr. White also hit him in the face." "Oh my God, this trash had come to us with his bad luck again, how did he even escape from prison? What do we do?"Monica said worriedly. "I'll call Philip right away, he will explain what the hell is going on and why Adam isn't rotting in jail!" Mr. Luther

    The air was thick with anticipation as they all read the email together. "I'm willing to forgive you for the humiliation your son caused me. But for that I'll want you and your entire family to apologize to me publicly, through a broadcast and maybe I can give you back the contract. Or else consider yourself my enemy! And you know what that means. I'll come to your house in the next two hours, arrange the broadcast."The message struck their hearts with terror, but also was a glimpse of hope, at least Mr. Manchester was willing to forgive them, they still have a chance.“This is a huge request, we can't afford such humiliation upon our Family.” Elena said in disagreement."What do we do father?" Jerry asked. Everyone looked at Mr. Penthouse he has the final say."There's nothing else to do. Everyone get ready, we only have two hours to arrange ourselves. Mr. Manchester will be here soon. And Jerry, call as many broadcasters as you can." Mr. Penthouse ordered, his hands shaking.Drake

The sound of the pen scratching against the document as Tessa signed felt like nails on a chalkboard to Adam. He watched her hands move gracefully, signing her name with an unsettling decisiveness. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter.

You still have to do it.”“In that case,” Gerald sneered, his tone turning more menacing, “you can try me.”Adam met his glare with disdainful calmness, his tone cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife. “Go ahead. I’d like to see how far you can go.”Gerald’s fury boiled over, and his fists clenched tightly. Just as he was about to lash out, Samuel stepped in, placing a firm hand on Gerald’s shoulder. “Let me handle this,” Samuel said, his tone measured but authoritative. He turned to Adam, his expression a mix of pity and condescension. “Adam, listen. If you agree to the divorce, I’ll personally put in some good words for you in front of Mr. Tristan.

    Adam scoffed, his expression full of disdain. "My legs might be broken, but that doesn’t mean some stray like you can push me around." Samuel’s face darkened instantly. His fists clenched, and a dangerous aura radiated from his body. His killing intent was palpable, sending a shiver down the spines of those nearby.

    "I endured everything you people threw my way because of Tessa," Adam said coldly. "But now that we’re divorced, I have nothing to do with the Armand family anymore. I don’t owe you anything, and I certainly don’t have to endure your abuse any longer." His sharp gaze swept over the room, silencing anyone who dared to speak. "What happened to Wendy and her mother is just a warning," Adam continued, his voice steady and threatening. "If any of you dare to mess with me again, I promise your fate will be far worse than theirs." Gerald's face turned red with fury, but beneath his rage, a flicker of fear betrayed him. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with a mix of terror and indignation. "Adam, stop being so arrogant! You’re nothing but a cripple now.
