Chapter 161
Maverick stammered and stepped back. "A–Adrian?"He looked around the room, still not sure he had just heard Blake say that the luxurious mansion belonged to Adrian.Even so, Blake did not pay attention to Maverick's confused reaction and immediately turned to Elysia. "Miss Harris, next time you don’t need to do unnecessary things and should be more respectful to Mr. Reid."Both of Elysia's hands clenched tightly. She had not expected that Maverick's presence in the mansion would be considered disrespectful by Blake. Even though Adrian had never stated to her that he was willing to be the spokesperson for AEON. She only knew he only wanted to accompany her.Elysia smiled awkwardly. In her heart she wanted to protest because AEON was, after all, her invention. But to avoid unnecessary conversation, Elysia did not bring that up again."Alright, Mr. Blake."Evelina crossed her arms and smiled cynically. "Oh my, Mr. Harrison is not even interested in talking to you."Vivian did not laugh,

Evelina rose from her chair. "Who are you?""Why are you speaking rudely to Adrian?"Maverick smiled politely at Evelina. "I apologize if I sounded a little harsh."He extended his hand to Evelina. "I am Maverick Harris, Elysia's brother.""I am here as Elysia's spokesperson."Unfortunately Evelina ignored Maverick's outstretched hand. He pulled his hand back."It is no problem if you do not want to shake hands with me."With his arrogance, Maverick stated, "My purpose in coming here is only to discuss AEON with Mr. Harrison, the Strearia conglomerate."His words emphasized as if Evelina and Vivian were not important people he needed to address."So it is only proper that we focus on business. Not showing off status and secret relationships."Evelina stared sharply at Maverick. "On what basis are you accusing Adrian of having a secret relationship?""Is it just because Adrian is your sister's ex-boyfriend that you can insult him as you please?"At that moment Vivian had remembered Mav

Adrian was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly. "What did you say?"Both of Maverick's hands clenched tightly. "Are you deaf or stupid?""Immediately tell your master–"Suddenly Elysia grabbed Maverick's phone and ended the call.Maverick glared at his little sister. "What the hell are you doing?""You told me to call Adrian!""Why did you end the call now?"Elysia said firmly, "I told you to beg him to let you in!""Not to order him around!""Adrian is the owner of this mansion!""If you are rude to him, he might not let you in!"Maverick's hatred for Adrian grew even stronger.Not realizing his mistake, Maverick answered arrogantly, "What nonsense are you saying now?""I know Adrian is friends with Everett Bradly and has a new rich girlfriend!""But he owns this mansion? That must just be his lie to make you regret breaking up with him!""Just think about it, where could he get this mansion? From his lonely and shabby flower shop?""Or from his new girlfriend? Are you sure she

When in front of the security post, Elysia and Maverick stopped.A security officer asked, "Who are you two and what do you need?"Elysia answered, "I am Elysia Harris and this is my brother Maverick Harris. We are here because we have a business matter."The guard checked the computer and said, "Please come in, Miss Harris."The gate opened and Elysia stepped inside. Behind her, Maverick walked following her.However, before Maverick passed through the gate, a security officer stopped Maverick."Sorry, Mr. Harris. You are not on the guest list for tonight.""So you are not allowed to enter."Maverick's face turned pale and he felt very embarrassed. Even though he had been very optimistic and confident about becoming Elysia's spokesperson. But in reality, he was forbidden from entering by a lowly security guard.Maverick smiled awkwardly, then explained, "I am Elysia's spokesperson in the project we are going to discuss.""You have no right to forbid me from entering."The guard answe

Without waiting for Elysia's approval, the first son of the Harris family walked out of the villa and ordered a taxi. Because time was very tight, Elysia finally avoided the argument and let Maverick come along.Inside the taxi, Elysia sat uncomfortably and was very quiet. Maverick said, "What is really going on?""I have never seen you this nervous."Elysia answered, "Maverick, because you forced yourself to come with me, I hope you follow my rules."Maverick's eyebrows furrowed. He was suspicious of Elysia's unusual attitude. "What rules?""Why are you suddenly so mysterious?""Is there something you are hiding from me about Blake Harrison?"Maverick stared sharply at Elysia. Elysia quickly shook her head."Are you sure?""Do not be shy with me!"He lowered his voice, "Are you secretly Blake's mistress in exchange for that investment?"Elysia's eyes widened. For heaven's sake, it had never crossed her mind that her older brother would accuse her of something like that."What nonsens

Evelina stared intently at Adrian's face on the screen, waiting for his answer.The man chuckled softly. "You are exaggerating, Vivian.""I only helped you as I should."The smile on Vivian's face almost disappeared and both her hands clenched tightly. Although it was not harsh, she had not expected Adrian to openly dismiss her praise in front of Evelina.Evelina's smile widened. "Adrian, you really are kind to everyone.""Now I am not surprised why you have so many colleagues."In her heart, Evelina felt relieved by Adrian's acknowledgment even though she still did not like that he had gently reprimanded Vivian. Even so, at least she was still sure there was no special relationship between Adrian and Vivian.Adrian chuckled softly in response to Evelina's words. Actually, he wanted to say something. But in the end, he held it back and did not reject the praise, but he also did not confirm it.Then Adrian asked, "By the way, have you received news from the laboratory about Vukiofras?"
