However, Adrian's expression remained unfazed. He had already heard about the altercation between Adrian and Gary at Brooklyn Group and this made him resent Adrian the more. Without hesitation, Marcus turned to Doris with his voice dripping with contempt. "Doris, didn't you hear about what happ
Jenny continued by talking about how impressed she was by the previous night's dinner that was served at the hotel. "Last night's dinner was absolutely delightful," Jenny exclaimed with her eyes sparkling. "The food was exquisite, and the service was impeccable. I would love to experience it aga
As soon as the three of them finished placing their orders, the manager, Mr Clarke, approached their table with a professional yet assertive demeanour. "Excuse me, sir," Mr. Clarke addressed Marcus, "but I'll need to see your membership card for registration purposes." Upon hearing this, Marcus ar
As the confusion thickened around the table, Adrian, who had remained silent until now spoke up. "I was the one who booked for Jenny last night." Marcus burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the opulent dining room. His eyes gleamed with mockery as he addressed Adrian. "You?" he scoffe
Jenny continues to feel disdain for Adrian. She conveniently forgot that it was this very card Adrian had used to book the luxurious suite and the expensive dinner she had enjoyed the previous night. Her opinion of Adrian only darkened further, seeing him as an opportunist with no real merit of his
"Hello, Mom," Doris greeted, trying to keep her voice steady. Milda’s eyes flickered briefly to Doris before settling on Adrian, who had followed her into the room. Adrian greeted Milda but she completely ignored him, giving him a condescending look. Instead, she turned her attention to Jack, her
Adrian's mind drifted back to Max's birthday party, where Grandma Kathryn had mentioned Jack Russell's name in passing. Adrian remembered that Jack had always been the "perfect" candidate for Doris's hand in marriage according to her grandmother. Before Adrian entered Doris's life, Jack was the one
Milda sneered at Adrian. "This thing you call a husband can't even keep you in a decent apartment, but Jack can provide you with stability and luxury. Doris, can't you think? " Doris was resolute. "Mum, no matter what you say or do, I can't marry Jack. I'm married to Adrian and I love him. I won't
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
