Ursula was so furious after hearing the news that Adolphus was fine. She just had to hide her frustration from her daughter. She didn't want Vicki to learn about what had transpired earlier. Her lover had made the suggestion and she employed someone to get rid of Adolphus. They wanted it to look like an accident, a hit and run. Unfortunately, it didn't go the way they planned it.Adolphus was still very alive, and that driver had lied to her.He insisted that Adolphus would not survive the accident and that she believed him. She even sent more money to him for a job well done.If she knew, she'd have confirmed the information before sending more money to the driver.“Bastard.” She cursed the man, muttering the words to herself, her face twisted with so much rage.“Mom?” Vicki called out with furrowed brows as she searched her mother's face, which she quickly straightened. “You haven't said anything since you got off the phone call. And you've been acting strange right now.”Vicki i

She shot a glance at Adolphus and turned back to Doris. “You didn't turn him against his father, and I watched him when you both came to the mansion for the family dinner.”“He's a fine young man. And I must commend you for a job well done.”Doris could not help but blush at all the compliments. She could see Bradley smiling from where he stood like a statue. “And don't even call my grandson an illegitimate child again.” Old Mrs McAllen spoke those words like a warning to Doris, who laughed it off. Before she bade the old lady farewell, she said to her. “I'd like to cook for you, if you don't mind. Just inform me whenever you're ready, and I'll send Bradley here to pick you up.”“It'll be my honor since I can't pay back what you did for my son.”“And my grandson.” Old Mrs McAllen commented, smiling warmly “And about the meal, I'll surely love that. Don't worry, I'll convey the message to Bradley when I'm ready.” She added before they bade each other farewell. Nicolas also came in a

Bradley swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on Adolphus's serious face, and with furrowed brows, he inquired. “Do you suspect anyone?”Adolphus thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. “No, I don't have anyone in mind that'd want me dead. However, I have this feeling that someone planned it to look like an accident.”Adolphus has the feeling that Ursula McAllen was the suspect. Or was it Richmond?Since Richmond had the mind to send people to beat him up to coma, it was also possible that he could pull off such a stunt.There's also his newly found household foe. His father's wife could be the one behind it.Well, he wasn't so sure because he knew nothing about her.He was yet to find out if she was capable of pulling that off.Adolphus knew nothing about Ursula McAllen and if she was just angry that her husband had another child. He wasn't sure if she'd go as far as trying to eliminate him.But what if she was the one behind the planned accident?Bradley was quiet for a mome

“Now, you're bleeding.” Glover added, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressing it onto Adolphus's forehead where the blood was coming out from. They stood meters away from the other students who were gossiping about the earlier incident. Some were in support of Pius and were throwing abuses at Adolphus. Only a few people didn't take sides. “Do you want to kill him? He was only looking out for his sister and did what every brother would do?” One person called out, pointing at Adolphus, who ignored them.“I would have done the same thing if my sister was in a relationship with someone like him. I'm quite sure he'd also want his own sister to end up with someone better than him.” Another person added. While they blamed and cursed at Adolphus, Pius charged at him, but surprisingly, Drake held onto him. Drake stopped his friend from fighting Adolphus, whispering to him.“You shouldn't bring yourself so low as to fight with someone like him. There are better ways to do tha

“Don't worry about your family. They'll eventually come around.” Adolphus dismissed her fears like they were nothing. They meant nothing to him because he was now beyond their reach. The Grahams could only get him when he acted carelessly like the previous night a truck almost ran him over.Adolphus was still convinced that it was not an accident. Abigail gave him that ‘are you being serious’ kind of look. She knew her parents more than him, and there's no way they'll accept Adolphus unless he was from a rich family. And from what she had learned about Adolphus, he didn't have any other family except his mother. Abigail has not seen any man in their lives, and in the little time she interacted with Doris Stephenson, she never said anything about Adolphus's father. She always avoided answering any question that related to the topic about Adolphus's father.Doris was an orphan, but Adolphus wasn't, and his father was still alive. With those thoughts in her mind, Abigail decided to
