Adrian snickered at Nadine's question. He suddenly closes the door in front of Nadine. But Nadine blocked the door with her legs. Nadine winced a little because the door hit her leg.

"Ouch!"

Adrian instantly released his door and Nadine took the opportunity to barge in and left Adrian speechless with her action.

"Can you please not disturb me!"

Nadine ignored his shout and just went to his house. That house looks so small compared to her house, but it feels so warm inside there. She remembered in her past life he brought her to that house once. And that's because she forced him to do that.

Wanting to get close to her husband's aunt and bonding with his other family members, she forced him to take her to his parent's home. But that didn't go as she had planned. Because, like this time, there is her love rival, Olivia. Both of them, sitting at that house, have a good chat with Adrian's aunt.

And suddenly Nadine just went mad, jealousy took over her, instead of the good attitude that came from her, her evil and arrogant side that she was showing to them.

Honestly, she really liked that cozy house but she was mocking that tiny house. She was told that it just looked like her bedroom size. And she left an angry Adrian in Olivia's care.

"Your house looks so cozy!"

She is going around his house without Adrian's permission. When she wanted to enter his living room, Adrian suddenly blocked her from entering his house.

"You're not welcome here!"

Nadine gave him a small smile.

"Oh... Don't worry, we can talk here. If you agree with my offering, we can finish at any minute."

Adrian really doesn't wanna have a good talk with her.

"We had a deal at your office a moment ago. So we don't have anything to discuss anymore and just wait for tomorrow's wedding."

Nadine still insists on talking with him no matter what.

"Just listen to my deal...."

Adrian stood still at his entrance and refused her. Nadine feels a little annoyed with his stubbornness and doesn't have any option to say that word.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. Cancel the wedding and I'll help you to get your company back."

Adrian looks pissed off this time and drags Nadine to go outside his house.

"You really like to throw away your toys when you get bored, huh? Not just that, you broke them first and left them like a piece of trash."

Nadine was triggered by his words and lost her calm a bit.

"You're not my toy and not trash. You should be grateful that I will be canceling our wedding! You can be together with Olivia again."

Adrian is shocked when Nadine shouts Olivia's name. And grab her arm with force to threaten her.

"If you do a wicked thing to her, I will never forgive you! And you can't cancel the wedding, never."

Nadine whinced again because of his strong grip.

"Hiss.... You should be happy with my plan. Why are you against it so much?"

Adrian releases his grip, seeing Nadine in pain. And trying his best to stay calm.

"Listen, Miss Have Everything, I can't cancel the wedding because my father has already sold the company and all our property to your father."

That line gave her a shock. She never knew that in her previous life.

"What!! I've never known that deal."

Adrian snickered again and looked at Nadine with a disgusted gaze.

"Like hell you didn't know that. You tricked my father first and made him bankrupt to force him to sell his company!!!"

Nadine still has quite disbelief about what Adrian spouts at her. She has never done that scheming thing. This was the first time she heard about this.

"Wait.... Wait... Are you sure your father sold your resort to our company?"

Adrian rages again and shouts at her. His usually calm and gentle self was gone for a minute.

"Then tell me who it is!!! Your father didn't know either why my father chose to sell his company!!!"

Nadine is still thinking about this.

"And why does it matter about our wedding?"

Adrian really doesn't know what happened to Nadine. Because she really looks like an innocent girl.

"Miss Merrick, because of your selfish wish to marry me, your father has a deal with my father. Our marriage will become our guarantor, he will give me back the company after I married you for 5 years."

"Wait.... Wait ... Trust me, I don't know about that."

Adrian still didn't believe it and just snickered.

"Huh don't act like an innocent maiden."

"Well... The first point is true, I'm the one who tricked your father with that fake project but about the sold company matter, trust me I don't know about this."

Nadine told the truth, she just tricked him with that fake project, not forcing him to sell his company and make that agreement with her father.

"Whatever you say, I won't cancel the wedding. Because I want to take my company back. Even if I had to go through that hellish wedding for five years."

Adrian still refuses to cancel the wedding.

"I can talk to my father. But first, I need your agreement to cancel the wedding."

Nadine tries to convince him again.

"Huh? And he will throw you a knife this time. Miss Merrick, you are the one who wants to marry me and drag my family to an unfortunate event. And now you want to run away after you've got what you want?"

He doesn't believe her and is still shouting at her. Nadine wants to defend herself but Adrian cuts her word immediately.

"Miss Merrick... I don't know what's wrong with you. But your father has clearly said that he won't support you if you don't do the contract. He doesn't want to lose his face because you've cancelled the wedding. And I don't want to lose my family resort."

"Like I've said. I will find the way. Just refuse the wedding."

Nadine didn't want to lose to Adrian's statement.

"Miss Merrick, it's too late. This is all property and my family life is owned by your father. My father left a lot of debt because of your trick. And left that agreement as his final way to save our resort."

Adrian let out a heavy sigh.

"Go on! Cancel it.... Do whatever you wanna do! But I will find a way to get revenge on you."

Nadine looks so frustrated. She doesn't want to repeat everything and canceled her wedding. On the other hand, her husband doesn't want to let her go because of his father's agreement.

"It's just the same thing, it would repeat again if we held our wedding."

Nadine let out her frustration.

"What is the same thing? You ruin my family, so don't ever think that you will live easily."

Adrian threatens her again.

"But wouldn't you feel sad if you broke up with Olivia?"

Adrian gritted his teeth and shouted again to Nadine.

"Don't bring her into this mess!!! She doesn't deserve it!!"

"I..."

Riiing Riiing

Adrian took his phone and looked worried.

"Aunty? What? I'll be right there."

He drags Nadine out with a worried face.

"Is aunty okay?"

Nadine seemed worried too.

"I don't have time to fight with you."

Adrian forced her to get out of his house.

"Wait.... I can drive you to the hospital."

Adrian clearly doesn't want to take Nadine to hospital.

"I will just drop you there and go. It'll be faster than calling a taxi."

Adrian was still agitated about Nadine's offering but he gradually accepted her offer.

"Just drop me there. And don't make a fuss."

In the car, Jim looked confused by Adrian's behavior. Nadine just nodded her head and sighed, letting Adrian sit in the front seat. "Jim... You already know who he is? He's Adrian Miller." Jim didn't know what to say. But Adrian kindly smiled at him and shook his hand."Hello Jim. I'm Adrian Miller." Jim looked even more panicked and shook Adrian's hand again. Jim only smiled gently to hide his nervous face. "Jim, please take us to the Prime Care hospital." Adrian immediately looked back. "How do you know where my aunt is being hospitalized?"

    "I told you our business is done."Nadine still hadn't lost her courage to persuade Adrian."I will help with all of my aunt's medical expenses. I will transfer her to the best hospital so she can walk again."Nadine hopes Adrian's anger subsides, but what she gets is the opposite. Adrian looks very angry and yells at him loudly."Miss Merrick!! You're taking advantage of other people's weaknesses again to get what you want!! How lowly!!"Nadine was shocked to hear the curse from Adrian. Why do her good intentions always look bad in Adrian's eyes? Nadine could no longer contain her emotions."Can you stop!!! I really want to help you!!!"The sound of their bickering was so loud in that quiet hallway that a nurse who had just come out of the room warned them."If you two want to fight, choose another place. There are a lot of patients here who need rest."Adrian, who was embarrassed, tried to apologize to the nurse in front of him. Nadine, who saw Adrian off guard, immediately pulled h

    Nadine returns to the office to meet Anna."You're really weird today. Suddenly, you want to cancel the contract. And make a fuss with Mr. Miller."Nadine only smiled faintly at Anna's nagging."You know Mr. Miller's in a bad state right now? His father had just died two days ago. And he has to hand over his resort to this company."Anna immediately fell silent because she realized that she had said too much. But Nadine continued Anna's words."Plus, his aunt was seriously injured and still in hospital, had to separate from him lover and was forced to marry an evil woman like me. That's about Adrian's misfortune, right?"Anna panicked when she heard Nadine's words. But Nadine didn't seem to mind at all and instead laughed a little at Anna."That's why I want to cancel our wedding, Ann...."Anna was surprised by Nadine's statement. She, who had been making various ways to get Adrian, suddenly canceled their marriage."You're really weird. Today, you did things you wouldn't normally do.

    "You know what that means?"Nadine was still silent."I helped them pay off their debt so the hotel wouldn't be confiscated."Nadine was about to refute her father's words but her father quickly spoke again."You really are good at destroying people's business, Nadine."Her father gave Nadine a round of applause. But not to praise Nadine, but to mock Nadine."Huh! I don't know anything about their financial reports. I just made a fake offer of partnership to them. So they incur a lot of operational costs and lose money."Nadine denies her father's accusations. She had absolutely no idea of ​​their internal financial matters. All she knows is that Resort Miller is busy looking for partners to expand their business."Never mind... Anyway, the reason I accepted their offer is because of you."Nadine was again shocked by her father's statement."Me?""Yeah... Because I don't want you to be called a crazy woman who chases her love. And I don't want them to report you for fraud. You know th

It must be because of that."Nadine's loud voice, which seemed to remember something, made Ellen and Adrian immediately turn to look at her. When she realized that Adrian and Ellen were giving her a confused look, she gulped and tried to find an excuse. "Ha ha... I seem to have found my problem at work."Nadine did her best to distract the people in the room. "Miss Nadine... You should enjoy your honeymoon and stop thinking about work."Ellen shook her head and gave a little sigh, then turned her head to Adrian."You too... Don't just ignore your wife.

Of course, she had met Ellen before because she was the one who interviewed her in her previous life.But she had a feeling that she had seen her somewhere."I immediately took this job when I found out that the client this time was Adrian."Adrian laughed at Ellen's words. Nadine frowned at Adrian, who looked very familiar with Ellen. While waiting for Ellen's crew to prepare for the interview, she continued to observe Ellen. Feeling observed by Nadine, she turned to Nadine who was still standing not far from them."Aah sorry for my impoliteness.

He never saw Nadine look so vulnerable even though usually she looked like she didn't have any fear at all."What a strange rich lady."That day Nadine spent her time mostly in her room. She just went out to get some food and she took it back to the room. She seems to have locked herself in her room to get busy to ignore her nightmare.It's pretty contradictory to her past life. Whi
