Lucy was very beautiful. Because of her looks, she was usually quite arrogant toward ordinary people. But regardless, her background was quite average. Although she wanted to hook a rich second-generation heir, deep down she was somewhat conservative.She looked down on ordinary men but hadn't met any rich heirs. She was just a very ordinary office worker.In New York, United Logistics wasn't a top-tier company, but it was still a fairly large one. The compensation was also quite good.Ever since Adam became the owner, Lucy had been worried about being fired. But Adam hadn't mentioned it for several days. Indeed, Adam hadn't originally planned to take issue with her—as long as she did her job, he didn't care, since he wasn't at the company often anyway.But he knew very well how Dolores and Bob had gotten into the company—Lucy must have brought them in. And this whole scene Dolores was making was almost certainly something they'd planned the day before. Adam had met shameless people,

Regarding this Blue, Adam had asked Vera about him yesterday and found that his family was quite extraordinary. Richard was the public richest man in New York, but Blue's family wasn't much less wealthy. New York was only so big, and the two families competed in business, so their relationship wasn't good. As contemporaries, Blue and Natalie had known each other since childhood. After entering university, Blue had started pursuing Natalie."I've got nothing else to do anyway. Might as well go take care of this problem," Adam said, touching his nose and looking at the two men. "Lead the way."His response actually stunned the two men. They had expected Adam to refuse, giving them a chance to threaten him and show off their skills. But Adam's agreement saved them the trouble.One of them sneered, "Come with us," and pushed Adam.Adam smiled and followed them into a car."Kid, you've got guts. Do you really think a woman like Natalie Winthrop could ever be yours?" the man sneered after s

Ethan and Marcus thought back to what Adam had just done to Blue and felt their scalps tingle."It wasn't us who shouted, it wasn't us," they both said quickly.Adam grinned at them, didn't make a move, turned, and walked outside.Only when Adam's figure had disappeared from the building did Ethan and Marcus relax slightly. By then, their backs were soaked with cold sweat. The others quickly helped Blue up."Blue, are you okay?" Ryan said, standing up. "Take him to the hospital to get that bandaged right away. If he keeps bleeding like that, he might not make it."The place erupted into chaos again.An hour later, at a hospital in New York, Blue walked out with a bandage wrapped around his head, his expression as dark as could be. Only two people remained—Ryan and a young man of about twenty."Blue, are you okay?" the young man quickly went to him."Mild concussion. I'll need to rest for a while." Blue looked at Ryan with a dark expression. "Ryan, sorry you had to see that."Ryan wave

Adam clearly sensed the ruthlessness in Leon's gaze. He knew very well that such a look only came from someone who had killed before."This guy is probably quite skilled. The fact that Vivian beat him yesterday was probably because he was drunk," Adam mused.Leon glanced at Adam, said nothing, and sat back down, apparently waiting for Danny to handle it.Danny frowned and looked at Adam. "Adam, I'm calling you 'bro' out of respect for Mr. Winthrop. Don't think that makes you someone important. I've already made it clear—Uncle Leon is someone even Mr. Winthrop wouldn't want to provoke. Vivian is in the wrong here.""In the wrong? How is she in the wrong?" Adam shrugged. "This bald old man was groping Vivian. She can't refuse? Should she take her clothes off and welcome him?"Danny's expression changed again. "Adam, don't be ungrateful."Adam walked up to him, looked up at Danny, and said with a smile, "I don't need you to grant me face." He looked to the side. "That drink machine is sm

In the alley, several wooden tables were set up. Four people were seated at one of them—Natalie, Yara Blanche, Ryan Rowan, and a sharp-dressed girl, Eve Harris.Natalie looked at Vivian in surprise. "How did you end up with Adam?"Vivian smiled. "He came to my café to play games, and then he helped me out with a problem. So I thought I'd bring him here to eat at Master Sage's place.""Where's Master Sage?" Vivian looked inside."He's already been notified. Master Sage is still sleeping, but he should be up by now," Natalie said.Adam asked in surprise, "Since there are only a few of us here, we should be able to eat, right?""Not necessarily," Vivian sighed. "Whether Master Sage is willing to cook depends on whether he likes us. If he likes us, he'll cook. If not, he won't. And he might like you one time but not the next.""That's a strange temperament," Adam said, exasperated.Nearby, Ryan curled his lip. "He's just a cook. If I offer enough money, I don't believe he won't cook."As
