Chapter 237She paused, staring at her husband, "Yes, yes, yes, and what are you going to do about it? Listen to me Mason, I love my job and I love the company so much, if there's anything I need to do, to make sure the company doesn't crash, count me in, I am ready to go all the way in.""Even if it means cheating on me?" He asked with a low tone, and she nodded her head, "Even if it means doing that.""I see," he said, nodding his head, not actually shocked, but also very disappointed at what was coming from her lips. He doesn't think she was sensible any more, he just doesn't believe it, how would she tell him this right in front of his face.It's just like she doesn't care about what happens to their relationship as husband and wife, her priority right now is to get the company into good hands, and she's ready to do whatever it's going to take, even at the expense of their relationship as a couple. Maybe this was the reason why she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.He
Chapter 238(Two weeks later)Mr. Leonard, Adrian's father pulled a call across to him, Adrian who was still in his office, picked up when he saw it was his father calling."Good afternoon father, how are you doing?""Adrian, I am fine, please I am in the middle of something serious, I need you to come over now," he said in a haste, leaving Adrian shocked, "“Tell me what's going on dad?""It's not something I can discuss on the phone, the best you can do for me right now is to rush down to where I am currently," he was about to hang up, but paused when he discovered he hadn't told him his address."Can I at least get to know where you are? He asked, sounding worried, "Son, I am sending it right away," he said and hung up. Just a few seconds later, his phone buzzed, it was a WhatsApp message from his father, which contained the address of wherever he was.He exhaled, as he dropped his pen, and picked up his suit which he hung over his chair, he wore it before getting up from his chai
Chapter 239Mr. Wilson became angry immediately, he just couldn't understand why Adrian would turn down his proposal of getting married to his daughter. He was a businessman, so he should know better about alliance, what really was the matter?What even made him angrier was that he did this on live streaming, like even if you want to say no to this, why not do this when the press had gone. But he chose to humiliate him right in the presence of everyone, leaving a dent reputation to his image.Adrian's father on the other hand bowed his head, he knew this would definitely happen, there was no doubt about that. He knew it would happen, he didn't have any problem with Adrian, that's because Adrian had told him time without number, that he wasn't going to get married.It didn't come as a shock to him, like it was shocking to everyone in the room. His problem right now was having to explain to Mr. Wilson, and trying to help him see things in a different light. Hailey stood up angrily, she
Chapter 240(Two hours later)Ethan strolled into his office and forgot to lock his door, he had no idea his voice was loud, and Adrian was passing by. Ethan could no longer wait for Adrian to be taken out, before he eliminated his twin brother, he wanted it done quickly."I need you to kill him at the spot, please don't hesitate to bring his body to me, you don't have to know what I will use his body for, what matters is that he needs to be killed tonight, or at evening. But it must happen today, I don't need it to happen tomorrow morning, or even at midnight, it's either it happens or it happens, is that clear?He kept quiet, probably listening to what the other person at the other side of the call had to say, a few minutes later he spoke up, "Come on, what do you mean by you have forgotten the name of the target, it's Liam Grayson.""Yes my twin brother, I need him dead tonight, don't do much, don't do less. Just do what I have asked you to do, and bring his body to me, near the ce
Chapter 241(Three hours later)Liam decided to trust Adrian this once, he packed up his belongings, shut off the lights in his office and walked out of his office, closed the door of his office and walked straight to the elevator.He was sweating profusely, everyone would do especially when you know your life is hanging on the line. His hands were also shaking, in order to prevent his driver and bodyguards from getting hurt, he had asked them to go home, he would be driving himself back home.They refused because of the order Elder Jackson gave them, but he knew what he was preventing. He didn't want them dead because of him, they had family members like him, their safety was what he wanted. He didn't care what Elder Jackson would do, he promised he would stand in for them, and help them out in whatever way he can.When he accepted, he felt so much at peace, he walked out of the elevator and walked to where his car was parked. He looked around, and noticed that Ethan was still in the
Chapter 242Adrian nodded his head, he opened the laptop and shut it off, before they walked out of the building to library. They both walked to where his car was parked, and they drove back home, just In time before Ethan could return home.Immediately they got home, Liam didn't say a word to anyone, he went straight to his room, and locked the door. He walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub crying his eyes out.Now he has to be extra careful around the one he so much trusts, and he has to trust the one he so much hates, life they say is not only filled with ups and downs, it's also filled with plot twists.*****Ethan asks them to bring out the dead body of Liam, they quickly hurried to Liam's car, and brought out the body of the guy they had killed. From afar he was smiling, he thought it was Liam, but when they brought him closer.But when they brought him closer, that was when he realized that it wasn't Liam, but another person, who had close rese
Chapter 243Elder Jackson cleared his throat, "Are you trying to say, you aren't going to get married?"Adrian raised his head as tilted his head towards Elder Jackson, "Honestly, marriage isn't top of the list, for now, I doubt if I am going to get married."Elder Jackson let down his cutleries, "Adrian, can you hear yourself, what do you mean by you aren't sure you aren't going to get married. Don't you know how important the institute of marriage is?"Adrian exhaled, he knew it was going to be a long discussion about the subject of marriage, and Elder Jackson won't allow him to be. "Yes Elder, I know how important it is, but I don't think it's for someone like me.""You don't believe it's for someone like you because you are some Greek god, or what?" Madeline chipped in not hiding the hatred she has for him.Adrian looked at her for a few seconds, before tilting his head back to Elder Jackson, "It's a decision I have made many years ago, and I can't just back out of it. I just don'
Chapter 244Adrian and Shilla both walked to their office, Mr. Brooks who was dressed in a three piece black suit, turned towards them, when he heard the clicking of their shoes on the floor."Good morning Adrian, hope you had a great night's rest?" He asked as they got close to him."Yes I did Mr. Brooks, good morning," he said, stretching his hands for a hand shake. They both shook hands, and he moved to the door of his office. Adrian placed his thumb on the censor of the door, and it opened up.They got in, Shilla moved over to her desk, while they moved to his office, "Please have your seat," Adrian said as he moved over to his seat.Mr. Brooks sat down, "I am sorry I showed up and announced, I was here four weeks ago, but Elder Jackson revealed to me that you were kidnapped. It didn't quite sit well with me, but there was only little I could do.""It's okay, if I may ask why are you here Mr. Brooks?" Adrian asked as he set up his table."Why am I here? I am here to see you, and I
