"Mr. King," Clint said before whispering to Adrian's ear. Adrian's assistant reported what had happened in Brian Martin's life. Hearing the story, Adrian's brows met. Then, he laughed. "Brian got married, huh?" Adrian muttered. He shook his head and said, "Never mind. If he were wise enough to think with his head and not with his dick, he wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place."As much as Adrian wanted to deal with Brian and Claire sooner, he had a lot of work to do. That was why he scheduled his meeting with Brian on the same day as Halliport's Alumni Homecoming. Adrian knew that Brian would be there. He also knew Brian had the same circle of friends as Riley. It was also the perfect opportunity to publicize his relationship with Riley in front of many of their college classmates."There is something else, Mr. King." Clint revealed, "Mr. Barlowe discovered the Private Investigator that Brian had hired, and he... paid him off. That is probably why Mr. Martin never

"Can I join you guys?" Krista suddenly popped out of nowhere, wanting to be part of their group. Brian recalled how Krista was close to Riley. However, Krista changed when Riley became his girlfriend in college. "Ah, sure," Luke answered reluctantly, and Krista excitedly took a seat."So, where is Riley? And who is with you, Brian?

Over here. I saved a seat for you!"When Brian saw Riley walking toward them, he was stunned by her confidence and beauty. His now ex-wife looked more captivating than the last tim

“You -” Brian’s brows met. He asked, “You aren’t referring to Claire, are you?”“Oh, I am,” Adrian confirmed without a moment’s hesitation, his attention shifting back to Brian. “Okay, Adrian. I get it. You are mad at me, but you don’t have to involve Claire,” Brian said through gritted teeth. “Claire is innocent! What happened between me and Riley was my fault!”“Innocent, are we?” Adrian turned back to Claire. “We will see about that.”“Clint?” Adrian called. His assistant had been standing behind Adrian the whole time. It seemed to Brian that they had a silent agreement as the assistant left without saying a word. “Mr. King, I didn’t know that Brian was married when he courted me, and I - I just fell in love,” Claire said with a hurt expression. “Then, I got pregnant -”“Save your speech for later. You will need it badly,” Adrian said to Claire. The air around them thickened, and Brian and his friends stayed silent in the next few minutes despite another alumnus speaking in fro
