The Miller family naturally paid no attention to Adam's words.After Dolores threw the box to him, she slammed the door shut.Looking at the closed door before him, Adam touched his nose, let out a cold laugh, and turned away.This apartment—the two-bedroom he had worked so hard to buy—he no longer had the right to live in.He ate something outside, then took the subway back to Jerome's place.On the subway, Viola called him."Mr. Walker, it's all arranged." There was a hint of pride in Viola's voice. "United Logistics has agreed to be fully acquired. I managed to negotiate the price down a bit—18 million dollars. I saved you two million.""Excellent," Adam said, thrilled. "When is the signing?""Tomorrow morning at ten, at their office," Viola said. "I'll pick you up on time.""Thank you." Adam hung up, unable to keep the smile off his face.He could hardly wait for tomorrow.Lucy's expression would be priceless.Also, tomorrow would give him a chance to learn more about his past—the

Chris Manning stood frozen in place, wondering if he had heard wrong.He was fired?Out of nowhere, he was fired?Beside him, Lucy was also momentarily surprised, then a flicker of a knowing smile crossed her face, gone as quickly as it appeared.To her, Chris was nothing more than a backup.Of course, Chris's situation was actually pretty good. He wasn't old, yet he had risen to HR Director of Brooklyn's largest logistics company. His annual salary was at least over one hundred fifty thousand dollars.But Lucy had high standards. Especially after seeing Grace land Marcus Sterling, her standards had risen even higher. She thought she wasn't much worse than Grace, that she could find a Marcus or even better.Of course, their measure of a "good" man was based entirely on financial power."Mr. Harris, what's going on here?" Chris had already forgotten about Lucy's expression. After a brief daze, he quickly asked.Robert Harris glanced at him indifferently: "Our company has been acquired.

"I remember," Adam interrupted her.But he didn't immediately reach out to ruffle F's hair like he used to. He just sat on the sofa, head down, looking at his own hands.These hands—for three years, they had gripped rickshaw handles, carried cement bags, scrubbed floors, washed dishes. Grace said she had never let him touch her finger, but that wasn't true. He had touched her—he had carried her bags, helped her mother with things, done countless household chores.But in his memory, these hands had also held guns.Grace called him a useless nobody. But in his memory, people called him "the Reaper."Two identities fought in his mind. His temples throbbed."Dr. Winter," Adam said, looking up at Vera Winter. His tone was calm, but F noticed that his hands were trembling slightly. "Thank you."Vera snorted: "Thank you? I never thought I'd hear those words from your mouth.""People change," Adam said with a weak smile.Vera looked at him, seeming to sense something, but didn't press. She tu

Ethan walked up to Adam, who was still eating with his head down, a disdainful smile on his lips. He deliberately raised his voice: "Ms. Sinclair, is this guy next to you your boyfriend?"Viola had already introduced him as such at the entrance. By bringing it up again, and so loudly, he was clearly trying to draw everyone's attention.Sure enough, many eyes in the ballroom turned toward them.Adam looked up and gave Ethan a calm glance.Viola smiled in response: "Yes, I'd like to introduce everyone. This is my boyfriend, Adam Walker."A sly smile flickered across Ethan's face: "Well, well, it looks like the goddess of many hearts, New York Bank's beautiful Ms. Sinclair, has been won over by this guy. A lot of guys are probably going to be heartbroken. But judging by his attire, he seems a bit out of place at this gathering."Viola frowned slightly. She looked at Adam and saw that he looked quite calm.In truth, Viola was also very curious about Adam.The first time she saw him, he loo

"Oh, stop," Grace said coyly, pushing Marcus away. "Let me take a few photos to post on Feed first. All my friends are going to be so jealous. Thank you, honey. We'll talk about tonight later."She pulled out her phone and took several photos of the ballroom and the food, carefully avoiding Adam's direction.The other person who wasn't quite normal was Viola.She was still sitting next to Adam, watching him eat his third plate of food, growing more curious by the minute."Such a mysterious person," she thought, a smile playing on her lips."How long does this party go on?" Adam asked, his mouth full of food. "This is so boring. I'm already full.""It should end after Mr. Winthrop announces whatever he's going to announce," Viola said, leaning back on the sofa with a sweet smile. "This is the most relaxing party I've ever been to. By the way, if I need your help again for this kind of social event, you'll come, right?"Adam nodded: "No problem. Free food and drinks? It's a win."As they
