Chapter 174Adrian tapped Jay on his shoulder, "Jay, I need to speak to you, it's important, it's about Audrey."He paused, wearing a serious look, "Audrey? Hope all is fine. Did she get into an accident?" Adrian laughed, tapping him lightly on his shoulder, "No she didn't, come with me let's talk outside." They both walked out and sat down on the two chairs which were outside, "I am listening to Adrian."Adrian exhaled, not knowing how to start the conversation, he was afraid of sounding authoritative and nosy at the same time. "Jay, what I am about to discuss with you, has been on my mind for a while. The reason I haven't discussed this is because I didn't see anyone I could discuss this with.Well, I am glad I met you and I think I can now discuss this with you," he raised his fingers, "Let me guess what this is about, you want me to try convincing her to get active and serious with the family business right?" Adrian nodded his head, not knowing if to get excited that Jay knew wh
Chapter 175The SUV drove into a vast compound, he was taken aback by it. The only time he saw a place so vast as this was in movies, but he quickly comported himself, he couldn't let them be aware that he was not used to seeing stuff like this.This was three times bigger than the Grayson mansion, he began to wonder, if the outside was this vast and stunning, how would the inside look? The door was opened and he stepped out with his dark shades on, he arranged his suit, looked around the building, and smiled before walking on the red carpet that led to the entrance of the door.Immediately he got to the door, it opened on its own, he was impressed, but he still had to act like it was not a big deal. Whereas the Graysons didn't even have a single automatic door even with the amount of wealth they have amassed over the years.He was led to a large sitting room and his jaw dropped, the sitting room was the size of a movie cinema. It got him thinking if this was the original plan to buil
Chapter 176Adrian thought about this wisely and spoke up with his jaw under his arm, "You know the familiar saying, ladies first. Why not go ahead and tell me about yourself, I am just being a gentleman."Her face lit up, "My God, I am falling deeper in love with you." She sat up, "My name is Hailey, the only child of Mr. Wilson and of course Mr. Wilson's only lovely, priceless daughter. I am my father's priceless jewel, he doesn't take a shit when it comes to me.He is highly protective of me, he wants the best for me, anyone who tries to hurt me through any means will surely answer to my father," Adrian swallowed hard looking away. She noticed it and chuckled, "Don't tell me you are scared, well you don't have to be scared, because you don't look like one who's capable of causing any form of harm to me."Adrian nodded his head, "In addition, I am a queen, and anyone who plans on dating me must have that in mind." She muttered and Adrian quickly spoke up, "That's great, but I don'
Chapter 177Mr. Brooks walked towards his favorite table and sat down, thanks to his disguise, they wouldn't be able to recognize him. The only way they might recognize him might be through his voice. But he doesn't plan on speaking to them, and he doesn't foresee any situations that would make them speak to him or vice versa.He made up his mind to eavesdrop on their conversation, no matter how low their tone was, he was determined to hear what they had to say. A female waitress walked towards him, dressed in a white plain shirt and black trousers. "Good afternoon sir, what would you love to have?""Brown coffee with milk," he replied with a smile gazing into her eyes while she smiled back at him, before walking away. Mr. Brooks brought out his phone, pretending to be surfing through the net. He was only taking time to wait for his coffee and trying to get his ears to get acquainted with the different voices.(A few minutes later)The lady returned with a cup of coffee on a tray, sh
Chapter 178(Four Hours Later)Adrian was seated, with his gaze on the city, "You know it's nice having a great view of the city, from a tall building like this," Mr. Brooks asked as he walked into the room.Adrian quickly stood up and turned towards the door where Mr. Brooks was standing, "Come in Mr. Brooks," he replied.Mr. Brooks walked in and they both shook hands, before they sat down, "What would you love to eat?" Adrian asked, staring at Mr. Brooks who had his gaze on his phone."I am fine, I don't consume food or drinks at night except water," he replied. Adrian nodded his head, "Oh, you are on a diet or are you watching your weight?" "Both, " he replied and placed his phone on the cylindrical table before them. Mr. Brooks exhaled, with his gaze on Adrian, "I don't want to waste your time, but what I am about to tell you was what I heard. Nobody told me, I was there and I heard the discussion, well this happened in the afternoon today.""Okay, go on," Adrian said and sat up
Chapter 179(The next day)Liam woke up when a call came into his phone, he answered immediately, "Good morning boss, the bottled water will be coming into the mansion this morning and the poisoned table water will be delivered to your office in the next thirty minutes.""That's a great, good morning, I will send in your balance immediately after I get to the office," Ethan exhaled and hung up. He sat up and exhaled again, "Today's going to be a great day, we might have two to three casualties," he paused, though feeling uncertain that Adrian might somehow escape or cheat death like he did in the past."There's no harm in trying right?" He muttered as he picked up his phone and dialed Mr. Richard's line, he picked up immediately, "The packs of bottled water will be in the mansion soon. I believe before the end of today, we will have both of them dead.""That's great, you are doing a great job, see you in the office" Mr. Richard replied as he got away from his bed."Yeah, see you in
Chapter 180Liam without wasting time landed two punches in the face of Martinez, Martinez staggered backward, he wanted to retaliate but he felt someone hold him from behind, "Don't do it, don't do it.'It was Audrey, he put his hands down, "Come on, you want to fight me right, come on, let's see who's going to be rushed to the hospital when we are done," Liam who was ready to transfer his anger to Martinez and beat him up, just because of what Ethan told him a few minutes ago.Audrey walked towards him, "Big bro, it's enough, it was a mistake. You know it's too early to get into a fight, just let him be and let this slide," she said with a soothing voice, which worked in calming Liam down."Thank your stars and thank her, if not you would have ended up in the ICU this morning," he said and walked into his room. Martinez still had his hands on his face, Audrey turned towards him, "I apologize for what he did, it looks like Ethan annoyed him. Liam only acts irrationally when he's an
Chapter 181Adrian nodded his head, "You don't have to worry about that, I know what to do. But there's another thing, Martinez.""Another thing? What could that be?" Martinez asked.Adrian got up, "I feel Ethan is planning against his brother, I feel it, I just don't know how to explain this."Martinez also got on his feet, "I know that feeling boss, I have experienced it several times in the past. If you feel, then it means the universe wants you to save him." Adrian didn't see such a reply coming from Martinez, "What do you expect me to do?" He asked."What do I want you to do? It's simple, keep an eye on Ethan and also inform Liam about the plan of his twin brother, he might not believe you, I mean it's not just his brother but his twin brother. But that shouldn't stop you from helping out right?"Adrian nodded his head, "Thanks man, I am going to do just like you have said." Martinez smiled, "We are here to help ourselves right?""Yeah, please keep tabs on the new supplier, I n
