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
His words were met with immediate irritation and fury. The room erupted into a cacophony of angry voices, each one more vehement than the last. “Is that a joke or what?" Becky yelled. "Who do you think you are?” Marcus shouted, his face red with anger. “You’re not a doctor! You’re just a curse!”
As soon as Adrian asked for a cup of hot water, James and Marcus exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with scepticism. They stared at Adrian as if he had lost his mind. Nevertheless, they decided to watch and see what he would do with the cup of hot water. Their patience was running t
As Milda continued to eat, savouring the delicious meal, the room buzzed with whispers and murmurs. To them, Adrian was still the same lowlife they used to know. After all, he was still very poor. Notwithstanding how he had just healed Milda, what could a pauper and lowlife like him offer their fa
Adrian felt a surge of determination. The amount of $30,000,000, with a one-year repayment term and a 10% interest rate, seemed favourable, almost too favourable for someone like Marcus who had treated him with such disdain! "Emily," Adrian said, his voice steady and firm, "I want a revision of the
At Kathryn's announcement, the room fell silent. No one dared to question Marcus's newfound authority. His $30 million investment had sealed his position at the helm of Prime Group and Dale Company. Jealous glances and whispered resentments filled the air, but the family members knew that there
As Adrian drove home the following afternoon, his phone rang, the screen displaying an unknown number. Answering it, he was greeted by a voice that exuded formality and authority. "Good afternoon, General Moore. This is the personal assistant of Commissioner Elara Falken from the Meganor Nation. I’
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
