Chapter 234
Daisy knew that worry would serve no purpose. If Adrian said it was fine, then he surely had a plan. She steadied herself.Adrian, meanwhile, took her hand and strode straight to the sofa, settling into the very seat Leonard Newman had occupied moments earlier.Octavia cheerfully pulled Freya along, and the four of them claimed the long couch in its entirety. Aside from the overturned furniture damaged in the scuffle, only a small armchair remained in the corner.Leonard edged along the wall and dropped into it.At once, both Adrian and Octavia turned their gaze toward him.Leonard stiffened. “I’m injured!”They chuckled and left him be.Footsteps echoed outside the private room. Mr. Levi hurried out with his men.“My goodness—Mr. Newman is here!”“And President Dawson too! We’re saved!”“What? Mr. Morvek and Mr. Howard as well—they all came together!”Mr. Levi and his lackeys were beside themselves with excitement as they rushed forward to greet them.Leonard and the others bolted ou

Freya’s face was pale, her thoughts unreadable.“Miss Daisy, don’t worry. I know who has truly treated me well.”Gibson Nathaniel clutched at her calf desperately, almost groveling.“Freya, I mean it this time. You have to believe me!”But no plea softened her resolve.Octavia lifted her foot and brought it down on his uninjured shoulder. With a sickening crack, his grip on Freya went slack.“Ah—!”His scream pierced the room. Adrian frowned and rubbed his ear.“Stuff his mouth.”Octavia grabbed a towel and shoved it into Gibson’s mouth without ceremony.“There. Peace at last.”At that moment, the door burst open with a violent kick. Mr. Levi returned, swaggering, triumph written across his face.Seeing him, Gibson began writhing toward him desperately, muffled cries spilling past the towel.One glance at the scene told Mr. Levi everything—Gibson had been crippled.“Well, well. You’re still here?” he sneered at Adrian. “Enjoy it while you can. Today’s your unlucky day. The four young

The others in the private room finally snapped out of their shock and surged forward, surrounding Freya and the others.Octavia stepped onto the table and casually picked up another bottle of liquor.Mr. Levi wiped the sticky blood from his forehead, livid.“You little bitch—are you trying to kill someone?”Gibson Nathaniel hurriedly grabbed towels and gauze, while another thug fumbled with medicine, scrambling to tend to Mr. Levi’s wound.They had invited Mr. Levi for entertainment, and now he was the one bleeding.Gibson pointed at Freya, his expression twisted.“I told you to bring money, and you bring trouble instead? I won’t let you off!”Before he could finish, Daisy seized a glass vase from the table and smashed it over Gibson’s head. With a sharp crack, it shattered, fragments scattering across the floor.Gibson clutched his head and dropped to a crouch, bright red blood seeping through his fingers.Mr. Levi’s rage boiled over. Two of their men were already injured.“Useless

“Stop smashing them! Stop! Those are all my cars!”Phoebe Baldwin sobbed at the sight of the destruction streaming through her phone. Timothy Lane kicked her aside again.“Shut up! Say one more word and I’ll have your house torn down too!”Terrified that he might actually follow through, Phoebe could only swallow her tears and cry in silence.Timothy turned back to Adrian and the others, his expression once again coated in flattery.Only then did Adrian give a slight, reluctant nod.“Acceptable. But we have somewhere to be, and our car is no longer drivable. I rather like the one you came in.”His gaze flicked toward Timothy’s brand-new BMW. Timothy’s heart bled, yet he forced a generous smile and handed over the keys.“It’s only a car. If Mr. Doyle fancies it, please, take it.”Adrian caught the keys and twirled them lazily around his finger. “Then let’s consider today’s matter settled.”Yet he made no move to leave.Timothy gritted his teeth and maintained his strained smile, finall

Adrian passed the time idly, scrolling through his phone and counting the minutes. At last, more than ten minutes later, a black BMW came speeding toward them.It was clearly the newest model of the year. A faint smile flickered across Adrian’s lips—an idea had already formed.Timothy Lane stepped out of the car, his eyes fixed solely on Phoebe Baldwin.“Oh, my precious darling, what happened? Who bullied you?”Phoebe instantly put on a pitiful expression.“Mr. Lane, I got into a car accident. Not only did they refuse to compensate me, they even hit me. Look at my face—”“I have a shoot next week. With my face like this, how am I supposed to film?”Timothy’s heart ached as though something had been torn from him. He cupped her cheek tenderly, full of regret.“They dared to touch your face? That’s outrageous! You’re a star—you live by that face!”Phoebe burst into tears on cue. “They must pay for this!”The moment she began crying, Timothy pulled her into his arms and soothed her gentl

“The Lane family? Are they supposed to be impressive?” Octavia asked with disarming innocence, turning to Adrian. He mimicked her expression and looked at Daisy. “Are they impressive?” Daisy rolled her eyes without restraint. Adrian had practically fought his way through the Four Great Families, and now he was pretending to be clueless. Freya shook her head quietly, wondering if this Timothy truly lacked common sense. Daisy glanced skyward, speechless. “Forget it. Let’s go. We’ll let the lawyers handle this.” Adrian nodded and reached for the car door, only for Phoebe Baldwin to grab him by the arm. She pointed at them furiously. “Leaving? Not a chance. Not unless you pay me!” Adrian shot her an exasperated look. She remained utterly unfazed. Daisy stepped forward calmly. “You’re a celebrity, right? I’m sorry, but we’re leaving. No one is stopping us today.” Adrian added coolly, “You were speeding and rear-ended us. Even if the police show up, it won’t help you.”
