Todd's mind was flooded with questions, and just then, he noticed it was Adrian. What the hell! The fool he was just thinking about seconds ago was already here! Was he insane to have bumped into his office just like he did last time? Didn't Adrian have any respect left for him as his boss? To
Adrian's colleagues, who had been listening in on Todd and Adrian's conversation, exchanged bewildered glances. Wasn't that Todd's voice they had just heard? Their surprise deepened as they heard Todd's voice again from inside, filled with despair and regret. "I'm ruined! Oh no, where do I go fr
Later that evening when Adrian was done at work, he and Doris met at a designated junction where they had decided to meet so that they could finally go and visit Doris' family. Doris couldn't wait to introduce Adrian as her husband to her family! Upon arriving in front of the Greenes' magnificent
"Grandma, you know nothing about Adrian. Adrian is a good man..." "Keep quiet! I've heard enough of your foolishness!" Kathryn interrupted, not giving Doris any chance to speak. Everyone's faces turned red with anger towards Doris. Even Doris's parents, John and Milda, were very disappointed in
"Do you think we're cracking jokes, you piece of rag?! How dare you even speak in such a gathering like this? Oh, just because no one has kicked you out of here, you think you could go on to spew trash from your mouth!" Neon, Doris's cousin yelled at Adrian. "I think it's high time the scum bag is
"Hahaha!" The whole room echoed laughter at Adrian's words as everyone shot him condescending looks. From Doris's earlier introduction, it was clear that Adrian was a nobody—a mere office staff who had serendipitously crossed paths with Doris. They couldn't help but wonder about Adrian's modest sa
After everyone had agreed to the bet, Kathryn spoke up, "Hear me, Doris! Henceforth, you're no longer fit to lead Prime Group as the CEO; your house will be taken from you, and your shares in the company will be frozen. I want to see how your pauper husband will take care of you!" "What?" Doris
Now that Doris and her parents had been expelled from the Greene family mansion, they had to move into a rented apartment. Since Doris's marriage to Adrian depended on whether Adrian won the bet or not, Doris moved in with her parents into the rented apartment. John and Milda couldn't wait for Ad
Adrian looked at him and nodded. "Yes, it is." Owen’s jaw dropped. He could hardly believe it! Adrian—the man he and the Greene family had belittled for years—owned this sprawling mansion. He felt his legs weaken, and he almost staggered back in disbelief. *Since when had Adrian become so wealth
Upon hearing Neil's words, the atmosphere thickened with shock. The Greene family members exchanged glances with their faces a mixture of disbelief and anger. They had never imagined that the lavish estate and properties they had been boasting about for years belonged to Adrian’s family! It was a r
The next day, the air was thick with shock and disbelief in Jolley City. News had erupted like a wildfire, and Frank's name was plastered all over the headlines. “Frank Greene Kills His Mother, Kathryn Greene, and Brother!” screamed the news anchor as the camera panned to footage of a chaotic scen
Adrian smiled warmly. “It means that you’re not only my wife but my partner. And if you’re ready, I’d love to have you by my side as we navigate this world together.” Doris looked at him, a renewed sense of pride and admiration filling her eyes. Just as they shared that moment, they heard a faint
Adrian took a deep breath, watching Doris’s questioning expression. She had been his wife through everything, and she deserved to know the truth. It was time. “Doris, I've waited until now to tell you who I really am because... well, I thought it wasn’t the right time. But you’ve proven, time and a
The following day marked Doris's birthday, and like previous years, she hadn’t planned any big celebration. During her mother's birthday, Adrian had taken them to a nice restaurant, and gifted Milda an expensive wristwatch, which he said a rich friend had given him. For Doris's birthday celebrat
The following day, Jolley City was hit by shocking news: A CEO had allegedly raped one of his employees in his office. And the name Adrian Moore went viral. The reports claimed that Adrian had repeatedly attempted to seduce Jenny, but after she consistently refused, he resorted to force. Jenny a
Adrian raised an eyebrow and smirked, clearly amused. "Do you actually think you can threaten me?" Jenny didn’t flinch. Her gaze was steady as she replied, “This isn’t a threat, Adrian. It’s reality.” Adrian chuckled, folding his arms as he leaned back. He wondered how far she thought she could ta
After rescuing Doris and Milda, Adrian led them to a new mansion in Jolley City. This wasn’t just any mansion—it was grander than anything they could have imagined. The Greene family's men had burned down Adrian’s previous home, but that, in fact, was the smallest mansion he owned. The loss ba
