Jimmy covered his severely bruised face and cried, “My face! My face!!!”He cradled his face as blood and tears flowed down. He was shocked by the outcome. He thought that Adrian would not fight back.For a moment, he regretted his actions.Meanwhile, Rosie screamed like a madwoman when she saw Jimmy being slapped. “Aaaah! How dare you hit my son, you little b*stard! How dare you hit someone far superior to yourself!”Rosie charged at Adrian as she yelled. At the same time, she brought out a dagger she had packed into her handbag beforehand and tried to stab him. Based on this, one could tell just how cruel and wicked Rosie was.Upon seeing this scene, Adrian frowned and lost his patience with the woman. He grabbed Rosie by the back of her head before she could even reach him and kneed her in the stomach.“Argh!”Rosie instantly felt a jolt run through her entire body and her mouth opened in a scream. She then fell to her knees as she clutched her stomach, her eyes glazing over.
Rosie felt pressured after realizing the kind of man she was dealing with.Jimmy hurriedly added with an awkward smile on his face, “My mother’s right. This is all just a huge misunderstanding. We’ll be leaving now!”Jimmy ran toward Rosie and was just about to flee the scene when they suddenly saw a few vehicles from the Battle Warrior Department pulling into One Jewel Road, cutting off their escape route.Mya, who had long, slender legs, got out of the vehicle with more than a dozen men from the law enforcement team. Jimmy, Rosie, and Patrick were confused when they saw Mya, who was seen walking toward Adrian.“I’ve brought the information you requested, War Legate Draco.”“What?! Did she just say ‘War Legate Draco?!’”Rosie and her family looked stunned as they exchanged looks. Suddenly, Patrick started trembling!‘Th-That man is War Legate Draco?!’Patrick instantly took a few steps back from the shock he felt.Seeing this, Rosie anxiously asked, “Wh-Who’s War Legate Draco
With this sudden change, the tables had turned.Rosie and Patrick thought they would successfully take Joanna away that day, so neither of them was expecting such a thing to happen.“Father, help me! Help me!” Jimmy cried as he clutched at Patrick’s pants.Rosie’s legs had already given way, her face drenched with her tears as she felt helpless. With all of this new information coming to light, they could now prove that Jimmy had first forced himself on Abigail before proceeding to kill her.This caused Patrick to flip and kick Jimmy in the face.“How dare you murder someone!”After Jimmy hit the floor from being kicked, he got back up and continued to cry. Next to them, Rosie tried holding Patrick back and yelled, “Pat, you have to save him. He’s your only son. You have to!”Smack!!!Instead of doing as he was told, Patrick turned around and gave Rosie a massive slap in the face. “This is happening because of how much you’ve pampered him his whole life!”Now, it was Rosie’s t
Samantha had zero energy to handle company matters due to her pregnancy so she had Joanna temporarily take care of New Paraiso on her behalf.On top of that, she had Adrian help Joanna too, who ended up being rather busy over the past few days from working together with Joanna.That night, Adrian and Samantha were planning on getting some rest when somebody knocked on their door.“Adrian, Sam…” said Adaline from the other side of the door.Adrian opened the door to let her in, while Samantha looked at her and asked, “What’s the matter, Ada? Why are you here so late at night?”Adaline sat by their bedside and replied, “It’s going to be our university’s twentieth anniversary tomorrow so there will be a lot of performances taking place. They gave us invitation letters so that we can bring our parents.“Sam, since you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, would you like to go with me?”Adaline seemed hopeful as she looked at Samantha.Swallowston University was holding an event that
Adaline woke Adrian early the next morning since he promised to attend Swallowston University’s anniversary event.Samantha took a long time to get out of bed due to her pregnancy.Adaline was getting impatient but Rue refused to let Adaline wake her. She wanted Samantha to wake up naturally.Joanna had already done her makeup a long time ago and was ready to head out. Yet, it was not until nine in the morning that Samantha woke up and walked out of her room while rubbing her sleepy eyes.Adaline, who was getting rather anxious, said, “Sam, you’re finally up. You need to hurry or we’re going to be late!”At that moment, Samantha recalled what she had promised Adaline and said, “Sorry, Ada. I genuinely have no idea why I’ve been sleeping in so much recently. I’ll get ready right away!”Samantha rushed off to the bathroom to freshen herself up while Rue brought out a hearty breakfast she had prepared. She insisted that Samantha finished it all before leaving, which took another twe
Adrian said, “Let’s head inside.”He then walked toward the entrance while Joanna and Samantha tried to find out more about the situation. Yet, the moment they got there, a few youngsters stopped Adrian in his tracks. The leader of the crew furiously said, “Hey idiot, didn’t you see the signboard? No phones allowed.”The youngster pointed toward the signboard by the side.“Why should I hand over my phone?” Adrian curiously yet calmly looked the youngster in the face.Hearing this, the leader became even more furious and said, “Because I said so, you *sshole! No phones allowed. Anyone who refuses can f*ck right off!”The leading youngster seemed really enraged and ready to get into a fight. Yet, his angry remark only piqued Adrian’s interest in him.Just as Adrian was about to question the man, Joanna walked over and pulled Adrian to the side, whispering, “I just found out that the young man you’re going up against is Harvey Decker. His father’s the main person in charge of Swallo
Harvey was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Meanwhile, the crowd stopped protesting and were now watching the scene before their eyes.In the next moment, Harvey became enraged and fiercely said, “Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you speak to me that way! Don’t you know that nobody here is able to go against my will?!”It was not surprising for Harvey to behave as such since his father had gotten him to his current position through some underhanded tactics.However, Adrian merely smiled at Harvey’s remark and said, “Honestly, I had no idea.”“What?!” Harvey’s expression changed. “You don’t know, you say?”Adrian shook his head. “I don’t.”“You f*cking piece of sh*t!”Harvey cursed and angrily yelled, “In that case, do you know I’m going to break your legs today? I’ve decided to put you on my blacklist, and I’m going to inform my father once I leave this place to end your life!”Adrian smiled once more. “Has it ever crossed your mind that your father won’t b
“You’re a dead man!” Harvey yelled at Adrian.Smack!!!Immediately after he said this, Adrian gave Harvey another slap, causing the latter to be dumbfounded. A huge bruise appeared on Harvey’s face.Even the crowd was dumbfounded as they witnessed this.Harvey covered his face, unable to react to the situation for a moment. He had not expected Adrian to hit him for real. Despite how many people he had with him, none of them dared to step forward and assist him. In fact, they were only taking Harvey’s side out of fear of being bullied.“Arghhh!” Harvey shouted, “You’ve made me really mad now! I’m going to kill you!”Despite his fury, Harvey got slapped a third time, causing one of his teeth and some blood to fly out from his mouth. Harvey’s left face was now severely bruised and swollen.At that moment, he was completely dumbfounded!“Wh-What…” Harvey covered his face.Smack!Adrian put in a lot more energy into his fourth slap, causing Harvey to fall to the floor, the bruise
