The Cheap & Dupe CEO CHAPTER 57
The guests were all requested to stay at the Wamon hotel for the night, and most people gladly did. There were lawyers, police officers, industrialists, reporters, and top professionals from many fields, passing time however they saw fit.All rooms were available for the guests to choose from. Ron chose a room for himself and just rested. He needed it, and his body demanded it as well.Penelope, on the other hand, was looking for potential prey. She met a guy named Remedeus Romano, the only son of a multi-millionaire. He seemed like a seemingly innocent guy who was eager to find a beautiful wife. He was the perfect target for her. If he played it right, she could steal a million dollars for him, she thought.She spent two hours talking with him and not only managed to exchange the numbers but also gave him a hug. He asked her to accompany to his room, but she politely refused. How could she appear so easy? That wouldn’t get her any money. To not disappoint him and to leave an impressi

Not once, or twice, or even thrice, but six fucking times, Irene made Adam ejaculate in the span of three hours. While she hadn’t done any of the revolting, gut-twisting stuff like the pornstars do, his brain went blank from her nonstop passionate sex. At the same time, his heart hurt so much the pain carried off to his dick and balls. He regretted coming to her birthday party more than becoming Penelpe’s boyfriend. After all, she had freaking stolen his virginity.While Adam hadn’t exactly been saving his virginity for someone who deserved it, but he surely wanted his wife to be his first.Now, that was no longer possible.She was still sleeping next to him, with one of her legs comfortably resting on his legs. His arms and legs were still tied up. He had been in this position all night.He never thought that the innocent-looking Irene could be so selfish and cruel as to leave him like that. He had been controlling himself from yelling out in rage, but he didn’t know how long he coul

When Adam came home, Isabella was cheekily smiling at him. Did Irene tell her everything? He couldn’t even look into Isabella's eyes and just rushed to his room.“My little sister is finally doing things right,” Isabella mused under her breath. “Adam may be a playboy, but he takes care of those he likes. He’s a hundred times better than Eric, so I'm sure he’ll keep Irene happy.”She texted Irene, telling her that Adam returned. Irene felt relieved nothing out of the ordinary happened.Adam had a long bath, but his head still felt hot. The headache wasn’t leaving. He had a coffee, but that didn’t help much either. He switched on the television, and Brandon was talking in the business channel about why people talk about and admire the Conreid company so much, simply because of its success. “Our roles, rules, and routines do help us, but it is our capabilities that set us apart. Our capability to spot chances and to be innovative wherever and whenever necessary,” Brandon said. “Barring C

“Are you saying you’re not going to side with me?” Adam angrily asked.“I-I never said that, sir,” Mary anxiously replied. “I just don’t want to make enemies out of you or your brother. Both of you are people I respect. If I side with you, it’ll hurt your brother. If I side with him…”Adam glared at her.“I won’t side with him,” she squeaked out, “that’s what I’m saying.”“Hmph, I was a fool to expect something from someone as sly as you,” Adam blurted out.Mary’s brows knitted together. She looked offended.Realizing his mistake, Adam apologized, “I’m sorry.”Mary raised her eyebrows. “Only sorry?”“Do you also want me to touch my ears and do thirty squats?”“Haha,” she chuckled a little. “No thanks, but let me do just one squat under your desk.”“You will do what?” Adam didn’t get the meaning behind what she just said, until she started unbuttoning her shirt buttons. “Whoa, wait, wait, wait!” Adam got up from his armless chair.“I’ve already waited enough,” Mary pushed him back into

Adam was rushing out after his work in the office finished. He was about to take the elevator and saw Evelyn going toward the stairwells.He suddenly remembered what had happened in the elevator not long ago. (Is she not using the elevator after that incident?) He felt guilty all of a sudden. He quickly took the stairwells. Hearing his footsteps, Evelyn turned back and was surprised to see him.“Why are you using the stairs?” she asked. “Were you following me?”“No. I was wondering why you aren’t using the elevator.”“I’m exercising. That’s why.”“Huh, I was asking seriously.”“You think I like taking the stairwells?” she frowned. “There are no cameras installed here, either. It’s not safe, but…”Adam didn’t ask her any more questions. He just tagged with her until she went to the parking lot and entered her car.Afterward, Adam made a call to Lily. She didn’t answer. He then called Mary, and she did. He asked her if she wanted to shop, and she gladly obliged.He took her to a mall, a

Evelyn was checking her makeup in the mirror, giving last touches to her cheeks and a couple of rubbings of lipstick. She never put on a jarring amount of lipstick and makeup, but she believed a minimal amount of it would make her look much more presentable, which her position as a PA also required.She put on high heels that kept pinching at her feet. These were relatively new, so there was no avoiding the uncomfortableness, she told herself.“You said you have to attend a special meeting, didn’t you?” Mirabelle asked, standing at the door. “Why aren’t you wearing that dark sparkling green dress that clings to your body better and shows off your curves?”“Mom! I’m not going to impress men with my body!” Evelyn cried out in embarrassment and ran out of the apartment.The school bus that picked up kids just stopped outside, and the driver was giving her a sly smile. She wanted to smile back as a form of courtesy, but she knew he definitely had ulterior motives behind smiling. Whatever

Evelyn was heading to her table and was in a very good mood.“Mind sparing me a minute?” Eric asked as she was passing by.She didn’t want to stop, but he asked in front of other workers, so she had to maintain some etiquette.“Yes, of course, sir,” she said.He gestured with his hand as though inviting her into the room. She knew straight away she was stepping into the tiger’s den, but she thought she could fight it if something were to happen.Despite knowing that the glass walls make it impossible to see what was happening inside, and also are soundproof to an extent, she entered courageously. She didn’t expect Eric would misbehave with her at the start of the working hours.However, the moment he locked the door, he turned and grabbed her hair tightly in his fist. As she hissed in pain, he pulled his tie out and forcefully shoved it into her mouth and threw her forward and pressed her face against the table. She struggled, but his strength was no joke. “You thought you were specia

Adam personally admitted Eric in the hospital, even though he could have just called an ambulance.Eric was awake throughout, but he didn’t speak a word to Adam. He didn’t yell or fight, either, because Eric had already received a call from Parul.Parul just said a few words: If your mother was alive, she would always be afraid, thinking you might also pull her into your room one day. Maybe Diane is already living through that fear now for having a beast of a second brother.Eric, who got so enraged he wanted to kill Evelyn and cripple Adam, had to change his plans after Parul’s intervention.Adam stayed there until the treatment was done and Adam’s head was neatly wrapped up in bandages.At some point, the nurse left, leaving only Adam and Eric in the room. Isabella had already heard the news, but she didn’t come to the hospital to see Eric. No one else in the family did, either.Adam was the only one Eric now had for company.“Can you leave?” Eric’s expression was like that of a bit

“If you were really a beggar, then what happened? How did you change yourself?” the beggar curiously asked Adam. “Did you rob a bank or something?”“No, it was a stroke of luck,” Adam replied. “I’m still taking that test. If I don’t pass it, I might end up as a beggar one day again.”“I wish that luck visits me as well,” the beggar said.“Don’t worry, Brother,” Adam saw that this beggar had a bent leg, which didn’t allow him to walk properly. He took out his checkbook from his suit and signed it for 5000 dollars. “It’s not much, but this is all I can give you right now. You better not use it for drugs, or the next time I see you, I will beat your ass.”“I will spend this very carefully,” the beggar quickly said. “But I don’t think the bank guards will allow me to enter the bank if I go in these dirty clothes. I have to buy new clothes.”Adam then took his suit out and gave it to the beggar who felt more touched by this gesture. It brought tears to the beggar’s eyes.“Nobody has been t

CHAPTER 95
Both Evelyn and Adam had gone to Sterling villa and talked with the producer, Jacob sterling.They were expecting him to look cool and grand. He was indeed a big, handsome fellow despite his age being in sixties, but he looked to be under great stress because of his movie being released incorrectly.“From behind the scenes, someone messed with me on purpose,” Jacob told them. “I know you’ve come here to get solid information from me, but I can’t guarantee you anything right now because all the people I took money from to produce the film are grabbing my throats right now. I have to pay them hundreds of millions in interest. So, until I clear all that, I won’t be able to release the film. Even if I do release it, will the people come to the theaters again?”“They will, sir,” Evelyn told him. “All your past movies were blockbusters. There was not an average film, so I think people will understand that some mistake happened this time and will definitely make many people come to the theate

CHAPTER 94
Adam and Evelyn came to a restaurant. It was mid noon at the time. Both of them were sweaty and hungry. Evelyn first ordered some drinks to quench her thirst, and then she told the waiters to wait for fifteen minutes before prepping their meals because she just drank a lot of water. This gave both of them fifteen minutes of breathing space. Evelyn still couldn’t forget burying the beggar, and she also didn’t understand why Adam would go to such lengths. “If you don’t mind me asking, did you meet that beggar in the past? I mean, did he stop in front of your car at some traffic signal and then ask for some money?” “No, this is my first time seeing him,” Adam replied in a calm but slightly knowing, heavy voice. “But this isn’t the first time I have seen beggars die overnight. During winters, some of them freeze to death on the streets. Some have their toes and legs frozen overnight that they have to get amputated afterward.” “What?” Evelyn covered her mouth in shock. “You sound like

As Adam approached the scene, the crows reluctantly flew away to the nearby posts and rooftops but still very much kept their eyes on him. There were at least twenty-odd of these black little things.Adam stopped and looked at the old man lying lifelessly on the sidewalk. There was no life in his eyes, which were half closed, and the black plastic bag beside him was open, with many items on the ground, suggesting that someone searched the bag for valuables.Evelyn joined Adam but was not able to see the old man’s corpse. She stood behind Adam. “Did he die? The beggar?”“He’s been dead for hours,” Adam said, his voice deep and concealing the pain and sadness swelling in him.“Let’s call the ambulance,” Evelyn said. “They are going to take care of him.”Adam, however, picked the old man up with both of his arms. He was not that heavy because he was very thin. His body had already hardened and was not bending at all. It looked like Adam was carrying a pole instead.“W-What are you doing,

Evelyn came home that evening and jumped onto the bed. She hugged her pillow and tried to be calm. However, she couldn’t help but think about Jim. He was without a doubt the most handsome man she had seen. He was not just tall and handsome but had a really good sense of humor and a voice that was very good on the ears. “Though it started off bad, by the time it ended, my impression about him changed very much. It’s rare to find bachelors like him, but the issue was that I’m not sure if he’s interested in me or not. How do I find out? Should I call him first? Or should I wait for him to call me? What if he doesn’t call me? How long should I wait? One day? Two days? Three days?” Seconds passed. “This isn’t helping. I’ll be patient for a few days and see if he calls me,” Evelyn thought. “If he does call me, it means he’s interested in me. If he calls me much later, then he’s not interested in me and is only trying to use me.” She kept thinking about him and ended up sleeping without

Even though Adam lost all the money he invested, a total of ten million dollars, he didn’t feel too bad right now because he spent the night with Reena, and they didn’t have sex but were watching romantic movies all night. After watching the movies till sunrise, when both their bodies and souls were fully craving for love, Reena still managed to hold herself well.“I will sleep in my bed,” Reena said. “You can sleep in the other room. That’s good for both of us.” She wanted to prove to him she could control herself well if wanted to.However, Adam grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace and began to kiss her everywhere on her face except the lips. “S-Stop, Adam,” she said in a trembling voice, but there was a hint of thrill in her voice. While almost every man she had sex with before lustfully kissed her on the lips, what Adam did now was a first for her. He was gentle, yet the pressure from his lips sent vibrations all over her body and to the depths of her soul. It felt so

Reena and Adam rushed out of the theater, and Evelyn just happened to see them while talking with the contractors on her mobile. On top of that, it started raining. “He’s unbelievable,” Evelyn gritted her teeth. “I was a fool to think he’s changed.” Adam and Reena entered a car that surely wasn’t Adam’s, and they hurriedly drove away. Evelyn ran to Adam’s car, only to then realize that she didn’t have the keys. “Ugh, dammit!” she ran back into the theater. She kept walking to and fro, hoping that the rain would be gone soon, but it only grew intense with every passing second. Evelyn didn’t even feel like talking to the contractors right now. She quickly called Adam, but he didn’t answer. She angrily smiled. “Of course. I was a fool to even call you, thinking you might answer. A leopard can never change its spots.” She was hoping for a Best Day Ever if the movie were to become a hit, but that didn’t happen. The saying ‘when it rains, it pours’ came to her mind. She didn’t go back

CHAPTER 89
The El Man movie produced by the famous Jacob Sterling and acted by many top actors just released today.This was the movie that Adam and Evelyn put a lot of hopes on because they invested into the catering businesses across the city. If the movie were to succeed, they would earn multiple times of profit. If the movie were to become an average hit, they wouldn’t lose any money. Since the producer had a record of making every single one of his movies a blockbuster hit, Adam and Evelyn were fully confident in this movie, which was also the movie with the highest budget of all time.Both Evelyn and Adam went to the theater, but to their shock, Reena was there. She got a seat right next to Adam.With Evelyn on one side, and then Reena rubbing her foot from the other side, Adam almost went crazy. If Evelyn were to notice, what would she think? He surreptitiously glanced at Reena, trying to tell her to stop acting childish, but she seemed to be having fun from putting Adam in a tough spot.

Saying Crawford was the crappiest board member would be an understatement. The only person he feared was Parul, but after Parul fell sick, Crawford had taken sides. He didn’t like Brendon because Brendon was too smart, whereas Eric was relatively easier to control.Crawford considered Adam to be too irresponsible to even spare a second for him. So, Crawford rarely ever spoke to Adam before.Adam went to his office.Crawford was an abnormally tall guy with great-looking hair despite his age. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he looked a few years younger just because of his hairstyle.“Mr. Crawford,” Adam humbly greeted Jonas Crawford. “It’s a pleasant surprise to see you here. To what do we owe this pleasure? Is your family doing great?” He purposely tried to speak a bit too much to make himself look friendly.“What’s there to talk about my family? I just got my 13th divorce,” Jonas sighed. Even though he shook hands with Adam, he didn’t get up from the seat, which showed Ada
