Chapter 106(Few Hours Later)Adrian and Shilla walked out of his office, Shilla was in possession of Adrian's bag, which contained important files and his laptop. They walked into the elevator.Ethan who saw him when he walked into the elevator smiled, "Enjoy life while it lasts because you won't live to see tomorrow."The elevator closed and down they went, they stepped out when the elevator opened and they walked straight to Adrian's car. Adrian knocked on the driver's door. He wound down, "Yes boss.""Take a break, I will do the driving," immediately without wasting time, his driver came down from the car, "Thank you, boss," he replied and walked away. Adrian nodded his head, Shilla got into the car and he did the same.Ever since he found himself in this family, he can't remember the last time he drove a car. At times he doubts if he can still drive, but like they say, it's hard to lose a skill it took you time to learn. He stepped on the gas pedal after putting on his seatbelt
Chapter 107Adrian and Shilla walked out of the conference room, Adrian had mixed feelings on how the meeting ended. "Boss, what do you think about Mrs. Rosa's answer, do you feel it's going to work?"They both stepped into the elevator, Adrian exhaled, glancing at her, "I can't say Shilla, time will tell. It's all in the past, what matters right now is getting ready for the meeting at half past five.""Yeah, that's right. I almost forgot about that," Shilla replied as the elevator opened. Adrian felt his ego was a bit crushed by the answers Rosa gave to his question. He felt he made her sell herself well in the eyes of other shareholders and investors, which he was against. At the same time, it was a good thing for the company, it shows that this company of theirs can still survive. Though he wants Mason and Rosa to suffer greatly, this shouldn't come in between making money and pushing the company forward to a new height. One of the ambitions of Adrian was to register his presence

Immediately he found it, he walked straight to the chair designated for Adrian.He looked around the table, looking for the tag that had his name on it, he found out it was across Adrian's seat.

Chapter 109Liam and Ethan immediately got on their feet, "What just happened?" Liam asked, feigning ignorance. Mr. Leonard didn't have time to answer their questions, so he walked back to the almost lifeless Adrian and carried him.Mr. Jackson tailed behind, Ethan and Liam gazed at each other, "How many minutes left?""Ten minutes left," Ethan replied as they joined Mr. Leonard, Mr. Jackson, and Adrian in the elevator. It closed up and down they went. The elevator opened and he quickly walked over to his car. Ethan and Liam weren't ready to do anything, it was Mr. Jackson who helped in opening the door."Get into the fucking car son, can't you see your brother needs help?" He screamed at Ethan and Liam, and they grumbled as they got into the back seat where Adrian was seated.

Adrian and his father are your enemies, just because you see me laugh or talk to them, doesn't take away the fact that they are our enemies.""Yes Dad", he replied with his head bowed."Look at me when I am talking to you!" he screamed, staring at him, with his fierce gaze on him. Aaron raised his head slowly, sobbing with his teary red eyes gazing at the face of his father. "Look at me, you might think I am damn harsh. You have every right to think or see things from that angle, but I want you to know that I am doing this because I love you, I am doing this for your tomorrow.""For my tomorrow? And this tomorrow involves me not offering help to my cousin? I don't understand Dad, make this make sense to me," Aaron muttered, it didn't make sense to him. Were they not to live in peace wi
