Evans George's jaw clenched and unclenched in response to their words. One thing he despised was having people point fingers at him.He took a deep breath and carefully tried to recall if he had ever sent Adams Smith an invitation to their engagement party; however, he had no memories of doing so.“I never drank Dad! You are also aware that I have been abstaining from alcohol for the past several months. How could you doubt me? I never sent him an invitation.” Evans counter-retorted with a frown. Hendrix had a scowl on his face as he turned to look at Adams. He quickly looked away, unintentionally sharing a glance with the one man in black who remained by Adams Smith's side.He did not want to doubt his son, but deep down, Hendrix George did not believe Adams could find a way to get the invitation. Evans insisted he did not send the invitation, so someone close to him must have done so.He looked at the couple, anger and uncertainty in his eyes as he shifted his gaze to Samantha. It'
Just as the tension was at its peak, two officers entered the room, their expressions serious. “Is there a problem here?” One of the officers asked. Evans George nodded. “Yes, these two people, Young Master Aleric and Adams Smith, have been slandering my fiance and making a scene at our engagement party. I would like them arrested for defamation and slander.” The officer nodded and looked at Aleric and Adams. “You two need to accompany us to the station for questioning. If these allegations are true, you will face appropriate charges.” Adams smirked as he crossed his arms. “You have provided no evidence against us. This is a waste of time,” Evans stepped forward, saying, “I will gather the evidence necessary to prove their guilt. I will not let them get away with tarnishing Samantha's reputation,” The officers exchanged glances before one spoke. “We will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, Mr. George. If we find any evidence, we will take the appropriate action. Un
The moment Adams, Aleric, and Raphael exited the banquet hall, the room erupted in a loud cry of chatter from the attendees.“Oh my! Did you see it? Young Master George called the cops on them, but who knew the officers were acquainted with the mysterious man?”“You are so right! The tables have just been turned. I am curious as to what will happen.”“I believe young Master George has messed with someone he shouldn't. Just thinking about Young Master Adams Smith's power sends shivers down my spine. He is too ruthless to even his family. Mhn… I don't blame him though.”“Right! Right! Oh my God! What is going on there? Ew! Gross! Didn't young master George refer to this as slander? How come there is even a video?”“Damn! How else? If not that it is true! This is absolutely disgusting. Who would have guessed that behind her innocent face lies a scarlet woman?”“Tch! Isn't this what they mean when they say, ‘A whore captivates a rich man with her coquettish prettiness and is rescued from
Adams settled into the back seat of the luxury Bentley Azure 2024 that he had driven over, his back against the soft and comfortable seat. Aleric took the seat next to him, leaving the car he had driven over. “Where are we heading, Young Master Adams Smith?” Raphael, who was in the driver's seat, inquired. “Where else? Damn! Can't you see it's already dark? Where do you want him to go other than his home? Quickly drive to his condominium,” Aleric reacted with irritation.Raphael paid no attention to what he had said, instead gazing calmly at Adams through the rare mirror or the car.Aleric rolled his eyes, annoyed by Raphael's rejection. He tapped Adams on his shoulder and said, “Get this big guy to start driving,”“To my condominium in the east!” Adams resignedly waved his hands at Raphael, not opening his closed eyes.“You own a condominium in the East?” Aleric asked with skepticism. The last time he remembered, Adams condominium was on the west coast, some distance away from 'G C
Adams could not help but laugh at the irony of the situation. He had just sent Aleric a large sum of money without thinking twice, and now he only had $2 in his bank account. He did not let it bother him though. Money was never his driving force. Furthermore, he needed to exhaust the twenty million dollars granted to him by the system within five days, which he did successfully.Still looking down at his phone's screen, Adams realized the timer that had been counting down since four days ago had vanished. Does this mean he passed the test? Adams Smith was baffled.He had no idea how the system had dug into Samantha's past and retrieved embarrassing footage of her affairs. Nor did he know how the system obtained a copy of the invitation card, which Evans George had personally signed. The mere presence of these black-clad men alone demonstrated the system's power. Adams knew not to underestimate the mechanical system he had unintentionally activated. After all, he was granted the impo
As Adams and Aleric approached the conference room, he could not shake the feeling of unease. The symbol, the connection to the hospital, and his study room seemed too coincidental.He could not shake the nagging feeling that there was more to this than he realized. He felt even more perplexed after hearing Aleric's words.As they entered the conference room, Adams was met with a flurry of activity.Journalists and reporters were preparing their cameras and microphones, eager to capture the moment.Adams took a deep breath and walked up to the podium, ready to address the audience.“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,’’ he said calmly and confidently.“I would like to formally thank you all for honoring our invitation and attending this press conference on such short notice. “I want to thank everyone for coming today. I am pleased to announce the rebranding of the legendary Sky Enterprise. As of right now, Sky Enterprise will no longer be known as Sky Enterprise; instead, it will now
At the George Family's Mansion, Evans George let out a loud growl as he threw his phone against the wall. “Urgh! How dare he?” He shouted, enraged.This was the new phone he had asked his secretary to get for him. However, Adams Smith has once again made him break the phone.“Plans? Nah, I do not plan. However, I've already envisioned Elemental, standing tall and invisible in the business world.”Adams’ words rang in his head again. Oh! He did not need someone to tell him that Adams was sending him a message. A hidden message within those words.Adams Smith was challenging him. He is once again challenging his guts, his power, and his authority. How dare he? How could a lowly man like Adams Smith threaten him?Evans punched the room's wall in anger. His fist was so hard that it punched a hole in the wall. No! Not again! Evans did not want history to repeat itself. He had always been superior to everyone.He was both feared and worshiped. He acted freely and did whatever he pleased. He
“I am sorry, but I have been too preoccupied with my studies to worry about worldly issues. Who are you, if I may ask? If you do not mind, I would like a detailed description of who you are and what makes you believe you can do whatever you want to people?”Evans George, who was used to people bowing before him and trembling at the sight of him, could accept that Adams had no idea who he was.He felt even more detesful when he thought about the fact that he had acknowledged the fact that he knew Adams Smith.It was only fitting, of course, that Evans George should know who Adams was. After all, Adams Smith was the representative of the class. His face flushed with rage at Adams' cool response. His authority had never been questioned, and Adams' audacity in challenging him touched a nerve.“You dare to question me? I am Evans George, the heir to the G Corporation empire, the most powerful and influential business family in the country,” he declared, his voice brimming with arrogance.
