“A worthless piece of trash like you,” Tracy sneered, “could drive day and night for thousands of years and still never make any real money.”Then her eyes gleamed with greedy triumph as she looked at Adam, not like a person, but like a prize.“You’re useless while you’re alive,” she continued coldly, “but once you’re dead, you’ll be worth millions.”“Didn’t you always say you wanted me to live a good life?” she smiled, sweet and poisonous, “Well then, isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”“Once you’re gone, every dollar will be mine,” she said, tilting his head, her voice tinged with delight, “and I’ll finally live that good life you promised.”As if struck by a dream coming true, a smug smile spread across Tracy’s face.She turned her head to the man behind her.“Do you know who the man beside me is?” she asked.“The eldest young master of the Max family,” introduced proudly, smiling up at the man. “Luca Max.” “You know what?” she added casually, but her tone was full of anticipatio

Meanwhile, after a final thrust, Luca let out a low growl as he released himself.Tracy still seemed a bit unsatisfied, but Luca had already straightened up, commanding, “Clean me up.”Accustomed to Luca’s commanding tone and demeanor, Tracy naturally squatted down, parting her fiery red lips.Adam shut his eyes in utter despair, tears streaming down his face.The scene before him drove him to the brink of mental collapse.“Time’s getting late. Let’s wrap this up,” Luca urged, pulling up his pants. “I already booked a suite at the Crystal Hotel. After this, we’ll celebrate....”And as if on purpose, he added in a taunting tone, a wicked smile playing on his lips, “... His death.”Tracy giggled and nodded obediently. Straightening her skirt, she picked up the poison she had carefully placed on the nightstand earlier.She turned toward Adam, her eyes cold.“Time to send you on your way, then.”Adam’s eyes were bloodshot as he let out a beastly roar. “I swear, even in death, I'll mak

Chapter 6.Olivia Vatican trembled with rage and humiliation.She was the CEO of Vatican Pharmaceutical.The balding man before her, Dr. Shaun, was someone the Vatican family had spared no expense to invite. A legendary physician renowned across the region, he had been brought in with the hope that he could cure Lord Leonardo Alessandro.Even if the treatment failed, as long as he made a genuine attempt, Vatican Pharmaceutical, and the Vatican family as a whole, would gain a decisive advantage when competing for the major pharmaceutical contracts under the Alessandro family’s control. It could even open the door to a direct relationship with the Alessandros themselves.The Vatican family was wealthy, but still a rising power with shallow roots, ranked below the city’s eight true giants.If they wanted to climb higher, the backing of the Alessandro family was absolutely crucial.Yet who could have imagined that Dr. Shaun, so compassionate and benevolent in public, a saint in the eyes

His fingers tightened on the trigger, but before he could fire, Adam's hand shot forward like a bolt of lightning. He snatched the weapon away, flicked it deftly around his finger, then smashed the heavy grip straight into the bridge of Erik's nose.Erik snarled in pain, his head snapped to the side. Blood trickled from his nose and the corner of his lip.“Get lost!” Adam said coldly. “Point a gun at me again, and I won’t hesitate to put a bullet in you first!”The icy glare in Adam's eyes sent a chill straight through Erik's core. Whatever arrogance he'd clung to evaporated in an instant, leaving only raw fear.Erik didn’t hang around for another word.Clutched his throbbing face, blood seeping between his fingers, he scrambled into the GLE beside Dr. Shaun. The door slammed shut with a heavy thud. Heart pounding, Erik floored the accelerator.As the car tore out of the parking lot, he twisted around and glared at Adam through the rearview mirror, burning the man's face into his

“I’ve already made my decision,” she said. Don’s laughter cut off abruptly.Seeing that his sister was dead serious, panic crept in. “Sis! Have you lost your mind from the kidnap?”“Even if Dr. Shaun turned on us at the last minute, we can’t just drag some random homeless in to make up the numbers, can we?!” Another member also stepped forward, with a frown on his face. “Don is right. We cannot just send a random person to muddle through this. You’ll turn us into a laughingstock. Worse still, we’ll completely offend the Alessandros.” “Yeah, if the Alessandros think we’re treating Lord Leonardo’s life lightly and take their anger out on us, then we’re finished!” Don added anxiously.As he spoke, his eyes burned as he looked down at Adam with blatant disdain. He ripped his wallet from his pocket, flipped it open and pulled out a thick stack of dollars. “You saved my sister. Take this. Consider it your reward.”He flung the money straight at Adam. The bills hit Adam’s chest,
