"No problem. Even if you won't be marrying Adrian, that shouldn't stop you from being friends with him. After all, he saved your life. I'll love to see him at your party," Paul replied. "Okay, then... I'll call him again if you think it's important." Paul nodded firmly. "Yes, give me the phone. I
As soon as Katie noticed Adrian's presence, her face lit up with excitement. She gracefully made her way through the crowd to where he was seated. "Adrian! I’m so glad you could make it," she said, her voice filled with genuine warmth, while Adrian replied to her greeting. Nearby, George watched
As they reached the secluded spot, Mark could no longer contain his excitement. He burst into laughter, his voice filled with glee. "George, we did it! Can you believe it? We gathered over $300 million at the auction alone!" George's eyes sparkled with satisfaction. "I knew we could pull it off.
George laughed derisively. "Oh, let's see what the fool has to say. Go on, fool. Enlighten us." Adrian chuckled at George's stupidity, as he fixed his gaze on him. "If you aren't lowlife, you wouldn't use this event to enrich yourself dishonestly. How much did you make from the fake auction items
Despite George's vehement denial, the doubt was already planted. Some guests were still convinced of Adrian's revelation, while others were sceptical, creating a palpable tension in the room. Katie’s father, Jake, who had been busy with guests but had entered in the middle of the contention, step
As soon as Adrian left Katie's party, he received a frantic call from Doris. Her voice trembled with urgency as she relayed the dire news. "Adrian, the doctor said there's a greater likelihood that my Mom will die within two hours. You need to come quickly." Adrian's mind raced. He vividly remembe
As soon as Adrian handed the necklace to Milda, she was first hesitant to wear it. She eyed Adrian suspiciously, even wondering if he had concocted this story in desperation. But her weakness and frailty left her with little choice. With a sigh, she allowed Adrian to place the heirloom around he
When Doris arrived at Curt’s house, the atmosphere was tense and charged with hostility. She walked into the living room where her cousins, including Marcus and Xena, were gathered. They eyed her with a mixture of disdain and anger. "Doris," Marcus sneered, crossing his arms over his chest. "You
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
