Jordan’s eyes widened. Beside him, Cole and Audrey exchanged shocked glances as they processed Adrian’s revelation..“Mind control pills?” Audrey blurted, her voice heavy with disbelief.“Yes,” Adrian confirmed firmly. “The first time was yesterday when he tried to give your grandfather Yao Jin pills under the guise of saving him. The second attempt was tonight, when he gifted him those Chong Cao pills, which were secretly mixed with Yao Jin pills.”“Unbelievable!” Cole spat, his expression tightening with fury. “How dare he try to take advantage of my grandfather like that?!”“He’s trying to get Senior Waynes on his side for the leadership position,” Adrian replied, his face grim. Jordan’s wrinkled forehead puckered in a an intense frown, and Adrian leaned in closer to him.“You have to be careful because I’m sure he’ll still try more tricks to get you. And to prevent him from gaining power, I’ve decided to run for the leadership position myself.”Jordan Waynes’s gaze snapped to Adr

With a sigh, Anita conceded to Adrian’s apology as she finally spoke. “I won’t lie and say I wasn’t hurt by the photo,” she admitted, her voice small yet steady. “But I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. That’s why I asked for an explanation. And now that you’ve explained…” She paused, closing her eyes to take a deep, breath before opening them and continuing, “I forgive you.”The bout of anxiety Adrian felt faded into relief as he gently squeezed Anita’s hand a bit more. “Thank you for believing me…and forgiving me,” he said sincerely.But he noticed that she still wore a sad expression and his forehead pinched. It seemed there’s was something else weighing on her mind. “Anita,” he called out softly, making her focus fall back on him. “You look worried. Is there anything else bothering you?”Anita’s shoulders slumped and she blinked rapidly to push back the tears that threatened to escape her eyes. “It's just,” she slowly withdrew her hand from Adrian’s grasp, and rubbed at her te

“And make it clear there won’t be any negotiations.” Adrian finished with a firm voice.Understood,” Rhea replied with a resolute tone. “I’ll prepare everything on my end and ensure the plan goes smoothly.”“That’s what I like to hear,” Adrian affirmed before the call came to an end. As he rose to his feet, his lips pressed into a thin line as one thought dominated the forefront of his mind.Whoever dared tarnished Anita’s image, no matter who it was, will surely pay.__________________Meanwhile, at the Royal Palace Hotel, Lawrence Smith was reclining on the plush sofa in his suite as he sipped his glass of scotch, his mind reeling from the events of that night.Just then, Kai, who had just finished with a phone call, entered the room and walked over to him with a satisfied smile on his face. “Boss, I have good news for you,” he mentioned as he came to a stop before Lawrence.Lawrence paused his drinking midway as he looked up at Kai, and cocked an inquisitive brow. “What is it? Woul

Adrian’s gaze hardened and he stroked his chin as he weighed Anita’s theory.It definitely was way too coincidental.“We can’t just make a decision based on speculation alone,” he reasoned. “I’ll look into it and if it turns out to be true, then we’ll need evidence to back up our claims. I’m planning to meet up with Sebastian Palmer today and talk him into taking down the news.”Anita nodded slowly. “Alright. But be careful with him. He’s arrogant and entitled, and he might not listen to you.“Don’t worry,” Adrian assured, a resolute but cold smile curving his lips. “If he refuses, then there’ll be another way to convince him. One where he wouldn’t be given a choice.”***Meanwhile, at the Davies group, Nathan paced around the conference room while rubbing his hands together as he counted down to the time when his grandfather will begin his press conference.Natalie was seated near the end of the table while pressing her phone, but when she raised her head up and saw Nathan pacing rep

There was a brief moment of silence as Lawrence’s demand hung in the air, but as it sank into Sir Edward’s mind he nodded without hesitation.“Yes, Mr. Smith, I can do that. Who do you need me to make vanish?”Lawrence’s eyes glinted maliciously as Adrian popped into his mind. “A lowlife named Adrian,” he gritted out, highlighting his hatred for Adrian. “I think his surname is Muller or something. He’s the bastard son of Robert Muller. I want him wiped off the surface of the earth.”Sir Edward involuntarily tensed, he didn’t know why the sound of the name made him unwilling and defensive. But it seemed something was restricting him from acting on his instincts, and he found himself succumbing to Lawrence’s demand despite the gnawing feeling at the deepest depths of his mind.“Consider it done, Mr. Smith,” Sir Edward yielded, his voice firm and laced with a promise. “I’ll have my men take care of it immediately. Adrian…Muller will be history in no time.”Lawrence reveled in his trium

Nathan shifted uncomfortably in his seat as Anita’s gaze bore into him. The raw confidence in her voice made him uneasy, but even more so, he was incredibly furious that things had turned out in her favour again.His hand on his knee clenched into a fist and his teeth gritted against each other at the realization that he had lost the CEO position yet again.“I hate how smug she looks right now,”Natalie muttered bitterly from beside him, her expression mirroring his. “How could Grandpa Lloyd change his mind so easily? Brother, we have to do something.”Natalie instantly began thinking on her feet as she said this, and a devious glint flashed through her eyes as an idea popped into her head immediately.“I got it,” she piped up and turned to her brother.Nathan glanced at her with curiosity. “What are you thinking?”She leaned forward in her seat and lowered her voice into a hushed whisper as she began. “I have a friend in college, who’s very good with tech stuff. I can enlist his help

Adrian’s eyes narrowed into slits as they flickered to the baton and back to the security guard. His voice dropped an octave as he warned, “You have five seconds to get that thing off my chest—”“Or what?” The security guard scoffed with a challenging smirk as he pressed the baton more firmly against Adrian’s chest. “What can you possibly do?”The corner of Adrian’s lips tugged upward into a faint smirk as he zeroed his eyes on the security guard's wrist, focusing solely on the pulse point there. Within the twinkle of an eye, Adrian jabbed his index finger into that spot with accurate precision.The security guard’s eyes bulged as a sharp, painful sensation shot through his wrist, and the baton slipped from his grip and landed on the floor with a clang. “What did you do to me?” he let out a strained gasp as he clutched his throbbing wrist. Adrian shrugged nonchalantly, his tone casual as though they were discussing the weather. “You asked what I could do. I simply showed you.”The s

“Okay, then,” Sebastian replied, his curiosity piquing. “May I ask what this other plan is? And is it foolproof?”“Yes, it’s foolproof,” Nathan confirmed. “The plan is to forge a compromising video of Anita with another man, then release it on the internet for everyone to see.”“Interesting…”Sebastian drawled, but then a smirk appeared in his lips as an idea formed in his head, and he lowered his voice. “But why forge a compromising video, when we can create a real one?”Nathan’s intrigue was kindled. “I don’t hate the sound of that,” the smile in his voice was evident. “So, what are you thinking?”“I think I’ll lure her into a hotel under the pretense of apologizing for our last encounter,” Sebastian began, his tone darkening. “Then, I’ll spike her wine to make her tipsy and record us in a… compromising position. That way, no one will claim it’s fake.” “Yes, absolutely,” Nathan chirped from the other end of the line, the earlier frustration and anger he felt now fading away. “That’l

Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table, his eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them.His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly.The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern.Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago.His shock finally wore off and he sprang into action.For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet.Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something happened.Adrian’s heart rate visibly inc
CHAPTER 254
Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate.He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers.Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes.“Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.”With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction.He quickly tucked his

Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way.The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air.They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded.The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm.“Adrian, what’s happening?” She whisper in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?”Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles.His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him.It was the man from earlier, the one who had ch
CHAPTER 252
A sliver of unease began to flicker within the man as Adrian said the words he had been dreading to hear.He lost the bet.The punishments.His eyes frantically darted around as though searching for someone to help him out of the situation, but no one seemed to be on his side.“If I could remember clearly,” Adrian continued, his lips tugging into a smirk as he saw the panic that began to appear on the man’s face. “You said the loser of the bet would have to grovel before the winner and lick the shoes of everyone here. So what are you waiting for? Begin already.”“Yeah,” the patrons echoed in unison and began chanting. “Do the bet! Do the bet!”The man internally shook his head. There was no way he’d lick the shoes of everyone at the bar. He had only agreed to the punishment because he thought it would be Adrian doing it.“I have to escape,”‘the man muttered internally. His eyes darted around again, this time searching for the exit. When he spotted it, his body barked into motion as

Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of biking off his face and then threw it to the floor.At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had already cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t slowed down.His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama the man was displaying.First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath.Secondly, he fell off his seat and was instead rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain.Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record.While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man.They turned their gazes to Adrian, expect
CHAPTER 250
Everyone watched with undivided attention as the man climbed down the chair and made his way to the bar.Once he reached the counter, he tapped it a few times to get the bartender’s attention. The bartender, who had been busy mixing a couple of drinks, looked up and raised a brow in inquisitiveness.“What can I get for you, sir?” He asked politely.“Ten shots of Devil Springs mixed with Everclear, please,” the man replied loud enough for everybody to hear.And gasps erupted from the patrons.Devilsprings was known to be one of the strongest alcoholic vodkas ever made, and wasn’t for the faint-hearted. It was already dangerous enough, but when mixed with Everclear, drinking it could be said to be almost suicidal.Ashley also gasped beside Adrian and looked at him, eyes wide in alarm. “Adrian, that man is completely out of his mind!” She whisper-yelled, and panic seeped through her voice. “Devilsprings is not something to be trifled with. I even know someone who had died from drinking
CHAPTER 249
The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.”Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.”The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words.Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued.“Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you wabt and turn your life around.”Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his squarely.
CHAPTER 248
Adrian sat a bit more upright on the sofa as he glanced up, his gaze steadily meeting Regina’s. “I’ve not done that yet. He’s fainted, so he’s been revived. I’ll take him to prison once that happens.”Regina huffed and crossed her arms. “Him being the culprit, doesn’t make you innocent,” she muttered bluntly.“You still had a role to play in what happened to Anita, because you aren’t rich enough to protect her. I still stand by my earlier statement. You don’t deserve to be near my daughter, so leave.”Adrian’s eyes flashed with fury and disbelief. He knew Regina had always been an unreasonable person, but this was just too much.“Are you serious right now?” He echoed in incredulity. “You’re still blaming me for Anita’s accident?”“Of course,” Regina shot back, her voice rising slightly. “If you weren’t so useless, then a brat like Nathan wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on her head. She’s better off without you, so just get out for crying out loud!”“No,” Adrian refused,
CHAPTER 247
Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.”“Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.”With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the back rest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close.Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian.Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won the fight. But even more
