“What happened here?” He asked with a confused look on his face as his gaze landed on his luggage lying on the floor. He reached out to the luggage on the floor, picked it up from the floor, and placed it in a good spot. “Open the door,” he said and knocked on the door. For the third time, they refused to open the door despite hearing him from the house. Weren't they at home? He could hear the sound of footsteps inside of the house so he was certain that they were inside the room. “Open this damn door,” he yelled and began to bang on the door so they would open the door but they refused to open the door. Just as he was about to give up, the door creaked open and his mother-in-law, Brianna, came out of the house. “What do you want, Mr. Man?”“Do you want to break down this door that is worth buying you, huh?” She asked in a cold and indifferent tone, and he scoffed. “No. I didn't mean to hit the door that way but I had no choice since it seems you didn't want to open the door,”
“You'd better drop that hand before I break them for you,” Brianna said in a cold tone after Adrian promised to make their life miserable. It was quite funny and unfortunate that even when he was poor and helpless, he had the guts to talk to them in that manner. “If you break his hand again, how do you expect him to leave this place?”“Or do you want another liability in this house?” Sarah asked and her mother nodded her head. “Yes, you're right, my daughter,” she said and stroked her daughter's hair. “Am I a liability?” He asked in a low tone but not low enough for them not to hear. “Yes, you're a liability to me. Or don't you know?” She asked and chuckled mockingly. “You’re useless husband. I wonder why I got married to you in the first place but it's in the past now because we're no longer together,” she said in a cold tone and he shook. “I'm not a liability. And I'll make sure that I prove it to you one day. And that day is going to be soon.”“You're going to regret lookin
Huh?Adrian swallowed hard as he bent down to pick the money from the floor. From the distance where the voice sounded, he knew the person wouldn't be able to spot him picking the money so he picked the money and stuffed it inside his pocket. “What's the problem?” He asked in a calm tone as he turned to the middle-aged in a uniform. He was a police officer. “I should be asking you that question, Mr. Man. May I know the reason why you're standing outside by this time of the day?” He asked. At first, Adrian was relieved to know that he wasn't caught picking the money from the floor, but at the same time, he was worried because he was caught by a low enforcer in the middle of the night. If care is not taken, he would be taken to a police station or he would be charged with a fine of five hundred dollars and he would have nothing on him. “Why aren't you talking? Or are you among those guys who robbed the Fidelity bank?” The police asked and pulled his gun from his pocket then cocke
“A store room? For that same 200 dollars?” He asked with a confused look and she nodded her head. “But that's cheating,” he complained and she scoffed. She glared at him with a cold look on her face. “Are you interested or not?” She asked and he nodded his head.“You should know that I'm helping you out because of your condition. The room is off-limits so I'd advise you to behave and leave as early as possible. I don't want to have a problem with my manager,” she said and he nodded his head gently. “Okay, no problem. I will make sure to take care of the room and I'll leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning,” he said and she nodded her head. He brought out all the cash inside his pocket and stretched it at her. It was 200 hundred dollars. Maybe it was a good idea that he didn't ignore Brian's money on the floor. He wouldn't have been able to pay for the room and he would be stranded yet again. “That's good. So take the key and leave before I change my mind,” she said and stret
“Are you sure of what you're saying?” The man asked and she nodded her head quickly. “Yes, I am certain of what I'm saying, sir.”“How could I see him and lie that I didn't see him? I didn't see anyone like him yesterday, Sir,” she insisted and the manager nodded his head then turned to Adrian. “Thank you. You can continue with your job,” the manager glanced at Adrian, who was burning with anger. “What do you have to say to this?” The manager asked. “There's nothing I have to say but I'm sure you know there's no way I would be able to have access to that room without keys.”“And even if I stole the keys and entered, I wouldn't have the guts to sleep because I know how tight your security is,” he said and the manager nodded his head gently. The manager frowned and turned to the receptionist, who lowered her head in shame. “Is that true? Don't make me angry,” he said in a cold tone. “That's a lie. Like I said earlier, I don't know this man. Maybe it was my colleague he saw and no
“Adrian,” Chloe yelled and ran as fast as possible toward Adrian, who was on the brink of falling into the ocean. “You can't die not yet,” she half-yelled and fought back the tears that threatened to pour down from her eyes. Luckily for her, he missed his step as he was about to dive into the ocean and he ended up calling in her arms. It took her a lot of stress before she was about to track and locate him. She had been keeping tabs on him after she found out that his wife had sent him out of the house and she needed his help desperately. “Mr. Adrian,” she called out at him and tapped on his face worriedly. He opened his eyes weakly and turned to her with a cold look on his face. “What do you want? Why did you save me, huh?” He asked. “I don't know whatever you're passing through that made you think committing suicide is the right thing to do but whatever it may be this isn't the right time,” she said and he scoffed. “Judging from your expression, I'm sure you need my help,” he
“What's the problem?” The General looked up with a worried look on his face after hearing the words that came out of Adrian's mouth. “I don't know until you tell me the last place she went before this happened to her,” he said and the man arched his eyebrows. “What is he talking about? You'd better ask him so he'll stop putting us in suspense,” he said and she nodded her head. The doctors, who were present, couldn't help but frown as they listened to Adrian spewing out nonsense to the General. They thought Adrian was just one of those local con artists who claimed to be a doctor just to swindle people of their money. “That's enough, Mr. Man. I can't stand and watch you trying to scam my patients, okay.”“I think I have had enough of you. What has where she went to have to her illness?” The man who seemed to have a beef with Adrian said in a colder tone. “It has a lot to do so if you don't have anything better to say I'd advise you to keep shut and stop disturbing me,” Adrian sai
“What happened to you?” The General asked as he leaned closer to his wife, who was coughing out blood. The blood wasn't ordinary blood. It was dark in color.“I don't know what's happening to me, Feng. I feel like something is burning inside of me,” she said and Adrian breathed out in relief after hearing that statement. That was what he needed to hear since he wasn't aware whether the cure worked well because it didn't work out as it was supposed to. The meridian and acupoint were supposed to push out dark blood from her veins but it happened in another way. He was worried if something had gone wrong but he didn't know that she was coughing the poison inside of her until he moved closer and stared at her. “Congratulations. Your wife is healed,” he said and the General turned to him with an angry look on his face. “What do you mean by that, huh?”“My wife is coughing out blood and you have the guts to congratulate me. Why are you congratulating me? Because she's going to die?”“I
