Chuck expressed his innermost thoughts in his speech.His eyes reddened and he could not hold his tears back as he spoke.Reiss, Riley, and Vivian applauded him.Chuck said to Adrian, “Adrian, I’m no good with words. Everything that I wish to say is in this drink, and I know how well you treat me. I’m not capable of anything but I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life.”Upon saying that, Chuck tilted his head back and downed his drink.Adrian made no reply.Samantha said on his behalf, “It’ll be good if you have a good life, Chubbs. Everything else is unimportant. Adrian hopes that you’ll have a good life from now on and he only did what was expected of a friend.”Chuck wiped away his tears.Meanwhile, Vivian stood up and said to Adrian with a smile, “I’d like to toast to you too, Adrian. You brought a gleam of hope to my life and you deserve this!”Vivian tilted her head back and finished her drink as well. It was apparent that she did not drink frequently so sh
Soon, Adrian and Samantha arrived at Central Hospital to have her checked out.Adrian, Rue, and Juno were waiting outside the ultrasound room. It did not take long before Samantha walked out of the room with an ultrasound scan image and she appeared to be low in spirits.Rue hastily asked, “How did it go, Sam?”Adrian was worried after seeing Samantha’s expression and he said, “What is it, Sam?”“Hahaha!” Samantha suddenly burst out in laughter and wrapped her arms around Adrian’s neck. She passed the ultrasound scan image to Rue.Rue laughed joyously upon seeing it and said in excitement, “You’re really pregnant? That’s great!”Juno laughed as well.Samantha loosened her grip over Adrian and said to him, “Dear, I’m pregnant with your baby so you’re going to have to treat me well from now on. Otherwise, I’ll give up the child!”Adrian felt like he was dreaming.Rue and Juno were hugging each other in delight and crying tears of joy. Rue had lived through hardships for so many
Adrian immediately grabbed the car keys and walked out of the house upon hearing this.He had not expected such ferocious people could still be found in Swallowston under such circumstances. If every person in the world behaved this way, what would be the point of Wyvern Peak’s existence?In truth, there were certain people that did not deserve to live in this world. It was an insult for them to be alive and a disrespect to other people’s lives.***Adrian rushed over to Vivus Clothing as quickly as he could. When he got there, Joanna, Reiss, Vivian, and the others were standing outside the door. Chuck and Norman’s faces were swollen. Adrian could tell that these people had been badly beaten.There were more than twenty people smashing things inside the factory to their heart’s content with their clubs at this very moment.“You’re here, Adrian.” Joanna ran over and grabbed Adrian’s wrist as soon as he got out of the car.She was scared out of her wits earlier. Those people sudde
The gangsters stopped and turned around to look in the direction of the voice.Elroy’s gaze landed on Adrian and he was instantly furious when he realized that Vivus Clothing’s people had called for reinforcements.He said angrily, “Who the f*ck are you? How dare you meddle in my business! Did you not hear that this is my territory?!”“Here comes another one who wants to get himself killed.”“There are just so many people wanting to die these days.”“Mr. Elroy, why are there so many deadbeats in this world?”Elroy’s subordinates walked over with their eyes narrowed and their hands fiddling with their clubs. They assumed the mannerism of men with high morality and heroic spirit.These gangsters enjoyed bullying the weak and feared the powerful. They had never suffered any major blowback so they had always assumed that everyone who was not a big shot would fear them.They had strength in numbers and the power to destroy everything.Elroy became even more arrogant with his subord
Elroy’s arm was severed from his shoulder.Everyone was startled because no one could predict Adrian’s next move.Out of shock, Elroy’s subordinates froze. They placed their clubs on the ground and were at a loss for what to do.Elroy’s howl rang throughout the factory and he was almost in tears. He never expected to lose an arm because of this. Arms were the most important part of the body and one would be a cripple if one were to lose an arm. Even if he were to beat up all these people here, he would not get his arm back.It was a great mistake made in a moment of weakness.Elroy had never encountered someone who would dismember an arm without any discussion. He had never come across someone like this before in his life.Meanwhile, the arrogant expression on his face had vanished and in its place was fear, confusion, and agony.“My arm, my arm!” Elroy burst into tears and wailed at the top of his lungs as he held his shoulder.His subordinates began to back away and witnessed
“I only smashed a couple of machines. Moreover, the machines still work so nineteen thousand dollars is already quite a lot of money,” Elroy said anxiously.“It’s one million and five hundred thousand dollars now,” Adrian announced.“One million and five hundred thousand?”Elroy was crying. He had not even made one million in profit after opening his factory for so many years, and now this man was asking for one million five hundred in compensation? He figured he would not scrape together that much money even after he sold the factory.He burst into tears for real this time. He never expected to get himself into trouble today. Moreover, he was in deep trouble.Elroy said anxiously, “I’m sorry, my friend. I’m at fault for not recognizing your mightiness. Let’s talk about the compensation another day, okay? Please let me get to the hospital first!”Adrian chuckled. “I’ve always been very strict in the way I do things. Either I get the money or I’ll break that other arm of yours. Ei
Soon, these people left, and calmness returned to the factory.Vivian, Reiss, Joanna, and the others were shocked by Adrian’s mercilessness. In fact, they even wondered if he was the Adrian they knew. However, when they thought about it from another angle, they figured that there was a price for everything.And this was Elroy’s price for what he did.They thought about it and figured that Elroy’s gang would not have the courage to bully others and assume they were unparalleled from now on.“Whoa, that was scary!” Joanna felt relieved after Elroy and the others were gone. She patted her chest gently. She was scared out of her wits earlier.Everybody else was relieved too.Reiss said, “You did a good job, Adrian. I’m sure Elroy will remember this lesson for the rest of his life. He might even have nightmares of you from now on.”She had witnessed Adrian’s method before and knew that her brother had probably experienced the same thing as Elroy before his passing. If Adrian had not
Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, you know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.“Like me?”“Yes!”Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to p
