“Why are you sending her inside?” He asked in a cold tone. “That’s because she shouldn't be here,” the General responded in a cold tone and Chloe stamped her feet on the floor before leaving for her room. “It seems she knows something about the local doctor we're talking about,” Martin said and the General turned to the doctor with a cold look on his face. “Don’t make me angry, Martin. I thought I told you there's no such local doctor here. Forget I called you yesterday,” he said and the man turned to him with a cold look on his face. “Okay, that's fine, General. I hope you're telling the truth because I can't tell what will happen if it's false,” Martin said in a cold tone. “Are you threatening me?” The General asked in a cold tone. “No, I dare not but I'm sure you know how the Dark Orb works,” Martin said. “Have a nice day, General,” Martin bowed his head and walked out of the house with a cold look on his face. “Let's go,” he turned to the men in black suits behind him. Th
“You got a hundred and fifty bucks for that expensive herb. How could you give it to him at such a cheap rate, huh?” Mr. Daniel asked with an angry tone and Adrian scoffed then looked away. “I wonder why you're angry. Aren't you aware this is how I work, huh?” He asked in a cold tone and Daniel scoffed. “I know but that's not good at all. The medicine was worth over 500 bucks and you gave it to him like that,” Mr. Daniel ranted and he shrugged. “That's because I believe he'll be grateful and send something. He's rich so you should worry less. And besides, I bought this company just to save lives, not to extort money from them,” he said in a cold tone. “I don't care. And how could you be so sure that he'll be grateful, huh?” Daniel asked and he looked away. “That's left to him to decide. And if he doesn't return it then I'll pay with my money. Is that okay with you?” He asked and Daniel took a deep breath. He knew that Adrian was a hard nut to crack and he hated it. As much as he
“Huh?” He asked, pretending as though he didn't understand what she meant. “Don't try to pretend. You didn't want to answer my call or you hesitated before you answered it,” she said and he took a deep breath. “I'm not surprised that you found out. You're the General's daughter anyway,” he said and she smiled proudly. “But why didn't you pick it up earlier? Are you avoiding me?” She asked and he shook his head quickly. “No. I dare not. Who am I?” He asked and chuckled. “Whatever,” she said and rolled her eyes. “You saw my message, right? I called because of that. What do you say about it? Will you like to accompany the party, Mr. Adrian?” She asked. “Think about it. But I don't take no for an answer. And it's tomorrow,” she said and he scratched his head. “Tomorrow? Isn't that too early? I wasn't aware…” she interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “Maybe you would have known if you'd been checking your messages,” she said and he sighed. “That's right,” he res
“Yes. It's special. And I would appreciate it if you could…” Daniel interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “I understand but who's going to run the business? You don't expect me to take up your job, right?” Daniel asked and he took a deep breath. “It's you. Please cover up for me. And besides, you said you aren't going anywhere today,” he said in a cold tone. “Yes, you're right. I'm not going anywhere but that doesn't mean that you should hand me over to the shop. And besides, do I look like an experienced doctor to you?” Daniel asked and he scoffed. “So you acknowledge me as a doctor. That's quite generous of you, Mr. Daniel,” Adrian smiled and looked away.“Don't be this cold. Try to help. I have written the medicine you could give to any patient with any illness so don't try to wither away,” he said in a cold tone and Mr. Daniel nodded his head hesitantly. “Okay, fine. I'll do it. So can you leave and stop disturbing me?” Mr. Daniel asked and he scoffed. “Tha
“We’re there, ma'am,” they looked up as the chauffeur spoke up, interrupting their conversation. “Wow. So fast,” Chloe commented and Adrian nodded his head. He reached out to his crutches and held them closely as the bodyguard came out of their cars and opened the limousine car. Chloe placed her hand around Adrian's waist and supported him out of the car so he wouldn't miss his step and fall on the floor. He turned to her with a bright smile beaming on her face. “Thanks,” he said and she nodded. She had stopped him from addressing her as ma'am since he was older than her and they'd become closer than before. “Where is your invitation…” the guard at the gateway swallowed hard and lowered his head in fright as his gaze landed on Chloe. “Invitation card? This is it,” Chloe chuckled and stretched the card at him even though she knew she didn't have to. “I'm sorry for bothering you. Pardon my manners, ma'am,” the security guard said and she nodded her head. “Follow me,” she said an
“Good morning, Madam Chloe,” Mr. Daniel greeted and bowed his head respectfully. She scoffed and looked away. “Stop with the hypocrisy,” she said in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. He was aware of what he did so he didn't bother to make me angry further by questioning her. He kept quiet and crossed his hands behind his back. “I know that I have offended you and I shouldn't have lied to you when I was…” she interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “That's enough. You're making me angrier and my wrath isn't something you want for yourself so I'd advise you to respect yourself and stay away from me,” she said warningly and he nodded his head. He lowered his head in shame and Adrian chuckled coldly. “Are you done with him?” He asked in a calm tone and she nodded her head. “Of course, what else do I have to discuss with a con man like him?” She said and moved forward. Adrian stopped on his track, turned, and whispered to Mr. Daniel, who snapped at him. “You shoul
“You haven't answered my question. Or aren't you going to answer my question?”“Are you trying to say that I'm not in my right senses, Miss Sarah?” Chloe asked in a cold and dominant tone. Sarah lowered her head in shame and turned to Adrian, who glared at her with a cold look on his face. “How is this possible?” She asked in a low tone as she leaned closer to Adrian, who stepped backward. “Learn to maintain social distance. Or have you suddenly lost your etiquette?” He asked and she bit on her lower lips. She didn't dare to talk back because she knew that she would end up in trouble and she wouldn't want that for herself. She lowered her head and kept quiet. Chloe ignored the look on her face and turned to Adrian, who nodded his head at her. She walked closer to him and crooked her hand into his hand. “How did we look? Don't we look good together, Miss Sarah?” She asked. “I don't. Why are you asking me, ma'am?” Sarah asked in an annoyed tone and she chuckled. “Oh, that's rig
The gentlemen stared at her with a surprised look as she yelled at them with a cold look on her face. She seems agitated and angry at them as though they'd done something wrong. They've done something wrong but they didn't expect her to be so angry because it had to do with Adrian, who happened to be a handicap. Why is she so concerned about him? For the past few times they've met, they know that she doesn't get involved with anyone. But why is she defending Adrian like there's more to their relationship? The man, who seemed interested in her, stroked his chin and stared at her with a confused look on her face. “If I may ask, what's wrong with you, madam Chloe?” The man asked in a calm tone and she turned to him with a cold gaze on her face. “How dare you ask me such a question after addressing him as a riff-raff?” She asked in a cold tone and he snapped. “What is he if he isn't a riff-raff, huh? He's just a handicapped man anyway,” the man retorted in a frustrated tone and sh
