Chapter 71
Alexander fell silent, thinking carefully about the four mutants. They were modified mutants who had worked for him for years. He knew them well.In terms of raw power, they were strong enough, though not the strongest. But Vivian had a point. Whether they had the patience to teach her was another question entirely.After a long pause, Alexander finally spoke. "I'm worried you'll be a burden to him."Vivian pressed, "A burden how?"She gestured toward her tail. "Because my legs are gone?"Before Alexander could answer, she continued. "Yes, it's inconvenient.""But I'll buy a wheelchair. That'll make things easier."She smiled widely. "So you don't need to worry."Alexander countered, "That's your plan.""But we don't know if Mr. Reid will even agree to let you stay."Vivian's smile faded. Her father was right. Adrian's approval was what mattered most. Without it, her plan meant nothing.Finally, Adrian spoke. "I don't mind if you stay here, Miss Russell."He turned to Alexander. "And i

The atmosphere in the dealership turned tense.Mirren continued. "Even though you just broke up with Elysia."She glanced at Vivian, sizing her up. To Mirren, she looked like nothing more than a naive, foolish girl. "And now you've already found yourself a generous new girlfriend.""You're quite the player, aren't you? Always finding rich women to support you."Vivian felt uncomfortable. She asked Adrian, "Do you know her?"Before Adrian could answer, Mirren jumped in. "Of course he'll pretend not to know me, young lady."She introduced herself. "But I'll tell you the truth. I'm Mirren Harris. Mother of Adrian's ex-girlfriend, Elysia Harris."She flashed a fake smile at Vivian. "Not that it matters whether he remembers me or not. My daughter Elysia was smart enough to leave a man who only used her for money."She kept going. "My daughter was valedictorian at Vecredal University. Her research got her nominated as a finalist for the VIT and The Olympus Index in the Science and Health ca

Vivian's blood boiled. Mirren's words had crossed her line.She was, after all, the daughter of Alexander Russell, the notorious Ucrousal crime boss. One word from her, and her father's men would wipe out Mirren and her entire family.But for Vivian, that would be too easy.She spoke in a low, measured voice. "Then prove it."She waved over one of the dealership staff. A man in a sharp black suit approached with a friendly smile. "How can I help you, young lady? Have you made your choice?"She nodded. "Yes. I'll take this one."She pointed to the black Audi e-tron GT that Adrian had just test-driven.The salesman's smile widened. "Excellent choice, young lady.""I'll prepare the paperwork right away."He turned to leave, but Vivian raised a hand to stop him."Something else, young lady?"Vivian continued, her gaze shifting sharply to Mirren and Maverick. "They're interested in buying the Aston Martin Vulcan.""Mr. Harris here has been dreaming of it as a reward for all his hard work a
Chapter 74
Cold sweat drenched Maverick's entire body. He couldn't bring himself to say a single word.Even though the salesman waited patiently, having Adrian and Vivian standing nearby only intensified the pressure.Adrian asked casually, "What's the matter, Maverick?""Didn't you say you brought enough money?""Or did your bank account just get hacked?"The salesman seemed to understand Maverick's dilemma. He offered, "Our dealership also accepts financing.""It doesn't have to be cash, if that makes things easier.""For this Aston Martin Vulcan, you can finance it over five years with a five-hundred-thousand-dollar down payment.""That would bring your monthly payments to around twenty-five thousand dollars."Maverick swallowed hard. Even with financing, he couldn't afford the down payment. He did some quick mental math.Twenty-five thousand dollars a month would be economic suicide in his current financial state.And that didn't even include the additional costs of owning a luxury vehicle l

After the documents were signed, the salesman spoke, "Congratulations, Mr. Harris. You are now the official owner of this Aston Martin Vulcan."He handed over the documents and the keys.Maverick accepted them without a trace of happiness on his face. If anything, he looked like he was holding a burning coal.Vivian smiled cynically. "Impressive. You really are everything your mother said you were."Of course, she didn't mean it as a compliment.Mirren quickly chimed in. "Of course he is. He's my son. The pride of the Harris family."Inside, she was trying desperately to convince herself.Buying this car is essential for our family's dignity.I'm sure Julius will understand my reasons later.Even if the Harris family is struggling right now, I won't let us be mocked. Especially not by Adrian.She glanced briefly at Adrian, then declared, "When Maverick was your age, Adrian, he had already learned so much.""It's only natural that he can afford his dream car before turning thirty."Adr

Meanwhile, Adrian had just arrived at his mansion in The Magnificent Vecredal. Alexander was waiting by the entrance, along with the maids ready to assist Vivian as she got out of the car.Alexander didn't comment on the car Adrian had chosen. Instead, he immediately asked Vivian, his brow furrowed with concern. "Are you alright?"Vivian smiled and nodded. "Yes, Dad. You don't need to worry."She decided not to mention the incident with the exploding payment terminal, the one that happened when her thoughts drifted to Adrian. It would only make her overprotective father more anxious.Alexander let out a relieved breath. "Thank God."Meanwhile, a message arrived on Adrian's phone. It was from Evelina."Tomorrow, my father will officially announce his resignation and my appointment as CEO. If you're free, you should come."Adrian replied immediately. "Sure. I'll be there."The next day, true to his word, Adrian arrived at the towering Strong Harvey Group headquarters earlier than expect

"What do you mean you don't work in any department?""Then why are you sitting there?""He has no business being in this meeting at all!""God, maybe he's an escaped mental patient!"David Chambers turned to the security guards. "Drag him out!"From his seat, Marcel actually wanted to enjoy the drama. But he had seen with his own eyes how Adrian had destroyed the harbor project in minutes. Reluctantly, he spoke firmly. "Stop!""Let him sit there!"The board members stared at Marcel in confusion. "What's going on, Mr. Harvey?""Do you know this man?"Marcel nodded. "Yes, I know him. He's the one who suggested my father step down.""So just let him sit there."The room, previously buzzing with gossip and suspicion, fell silent. Their curiosity about Adrian only grew.David stared at Adrian in disbelief. "He suggested your father step down?""Why?"Their assumption that Adrian was just some low-level employee they could easily kick out evaporated instantly."God, did I hear that right? M
Chapter 78
Theron and Marcel stared at Evelina seriously. Both of them had even tried and didn't know how to change the governor's mind.And this demand for Evelina to prove her ability right now was truly excessive. Theron and Marcel realized the board members secretly didn't want inexperienced Evelina to become CEO. So they wanted to humiliate Evelina on her first day under the guise of proving her ability.Evelina broke out in a cold sweat even though she tried to remain calm. This was her first experience after all.At that moment, Adrian quietly sent a message to Governor Raiven Gibson."Mr. Gibson, have you transferred the Kagluadal harbor project to another company?"Meanwhile, Evelina answered from the podium, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will do my best to speak with the governor as soon as possible. But I cannot guarantee the results right now."One of the board members replied, "But we need results as soon as possible. Don't you understand the urgency of securing that project immediately?

Adrian was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. Lunch works."Evelina smiled widely. "That's good.""Where do you like to eat?"Adrian answered casually, "Anywhere is fine.""I'm not too picky about food."Evelina thought for a moment. Since she wanted to thank him, the name of the best restaurant in Vecredal immediately came to mind."How about the Golden Queen restaurant?"Adrian nodded in agreement. "Yes, there."Evelina felt relieved that Adrian agreed to have lunch at her chosen restaurant.Previously she might have thought Adrian was just an ordinary guy and he would feel very lucky to be treated by Evelina at the most luxurious restaurant in Vecredal.But now Evelina's image of Adrian had completely changed even though he still looked like a simple man. Especially since he seemed close to the governor of Strearia. Evelina thought surely Adrian was no stranger to luxury restaurants like Golden Queen.Evelina said, "Let's go."The two of them walked together toward the parking

Adrian waved at the camera."Hi, Ansel!"Ansel's pouty face turned enthusiastic. "Is Daddy on a date with Mommy?"Evelina choked. Then she turned off the rear camera so her face was back on the screen."No, Sweetheart!""Just a regular lunch."Ansel answered, "If Mommy is having lunch with Daddy Adrian, I'll allow it!""But..."Ansel's words trailed off."But what, Ansel?" asked Evelina."Later, will Daddy Adrian bring Mommy home?""Because I miss Daddy Adrian."Evelina's cheeks flushed. She didn't say anything but looked toward Adrian.Adrian answered, "Yes, Ansel, later I'll take your mommy home."Although Adrian's face wasn't visible, his voice could be heard.Ansel shouted enthusiastically again, "Yeah!"Evelina spoke again, "See, you heard him, he'll take me home. Now you have lunch with Grandma, okay?"Ansel nodded. "Yes, Mommy!"Not long after, the call ended. Evelina breathed a sigh of relief.Adrian commented, "He really loves you very much."She nodded. "Yes, ever since he w
