Chapter 31
Adrian sneered in disgust at Cedric, who was acting like a hero. "Are you sure you're the one who saved her?"To gain Elysia's trust, Cedric answered without hesitation, "Do you think I came here with my team to play around?""You're mistaken if you think the Rios family is like that."Then he turned to Elysia and spoke gently, "Earlier your brother, Maverick, contacted me. He asked me to get you out of here."Although the sentence was spoken gently, Elysia immediately realized the weight and pressure of that statement on her family. She knew very well what the Rios family was like and how they viewed third-class families like hers.Unexpectedly, Cedric removed the jacket he was wearing and wrapped Elysia's body. "Don't let those perverted eyes stare at you carelessly."Then without waiting for Elysia's approval, Cedric ordered the medical team to take Elysia to the stretcher and head to the ambulance.Adrian stood in front of Elysia. "Stop. She can't be taken away now."Cedric, who w

The pool water began filling Elysia's lungs.At death's doorstep, Elysia found herself remembering fragments of moments she had spent with Adrian and Alistair, like watching a documentary film.In her memories, Adrian was indeed not a man from a wealthy family. Even so, he was always there.In fact, Adrian had motivated her to realize AEON, which originally started because she wanted to heal depression patients, just as she had once been depressed after Alistair's death.It could be said that AEON was Elysia's monument of love for Alistair.But none of that mattered now, because in a moment she would leave this world forever.Meanwhile, after breaking through the last corridor, Adrian found the pool.Adrian's chest tightened when he saw the hand hanging with the head already fully submerged beneath the surface of the black water.From above, no movement was visible at all. Only occasionally did small air bubbles rise to the surface."Elys!"Without a second thought, Adrian plunged int

The man in the black leather jacket then stepped out of the Vecredal Hospital lobby. Outside was already quiet, but he saw an elderly, large-built man with a thick mustache who had just parked his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy.Without a second thought, Adrian approached the old man."Good evening, sir, sorry to bother you. I'd like to borrow your bike until morning. Is it possible? I'll give a $5000 deposit and my ID."The old man frowned, looking Adrian up and down. "Borrow? Who are you? I don't know you.""It's an emergency, sir," Adrian answered curtly.His eyes quickly scanned the bike's condition. It still looked good. "In that case, I'll just buy it."The old man's eyes widened. "Buy? This is a new bike—""$25,000, I'll transfer it now." Adrian had already taken out his smartphone and opened the banking app.Hearing that number, the old man's face changed. It was more than the price of his new bike. "Are you sure?""Yes." Adrian nodded firmly. "I'm not tricking you. I'll make the tra

Cedric spoke in a flat voice, "Red Eagle Guild is specially contracted by the Harvey family.""Are you dealing with the Harveys?"Maverick shook his head. He answered stuttering, "W-We don't know. They said they want someone named Adrian. They think Elysia is still involved with him."Adrian. Cedric remembered the rumor about the flower seller who supposedly resembled the late Alistair. He had been interested, but didn't care too much. What mattered was, this was about Elysia.Cedric leaned back on the sofa. "So, what do you want me to do?"His eyes suddenly looked sharp even though alcohol was still floating in his head."Negotiate with the Guild? That's not child's play. Could be political suicide for my family."Maverick pleaded with a voice almost crying, "Mr. Rios, please! Only you can help. We'll pay anything!""They're hanging Elysia above a pool. She could drown and die!"Cedric was silent for a moment. Red Eagle Guild indeed liked to play dirty. In his mind, the image of sexy

Adrian looked at her. He understood the Harris family's action of saving Jaylin wasn't out of kindness.They were just afraid of getting involved in legal problems. If Jaylin died, the police would definitely call them as the first witnesses.That would be very troublesome for them when they were panicking from losing Elysia.Adrian pulled his arm from Mirren Harris's grip.Without much talk, he took out his device, then immediately made a transfer of $50,000 to Elysia's personal account.A notification sound came from Elysia's smartphone in Mirren Harris's hand."Done. Check Elysia's account," Adrian said, closing his device. "Elysia will be safe too."Mirren's eyes widened witnessing the notification of a $50,000 transfer on Elysia's device.H-He really paid?Where did he get the money from?An ordinary flower seller can't possibly have that much liquidity.Could it be...A bad thought emerged.Has he been involved in the underworld all this time? That could be why he has problems w
Chapter 26
Adrian's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. All this time he had never received a bombardment of calls from Elysia.Why? What happened? Does she want to apologize and ask to get back together?Adrian's device rang again displaying the contact named Elysia. Without thinking twice, Adrian answered the call.Unfortunately, it wasn't Elysia's melodious voice he heard. But a woman's thunderous scream."Bastard! Where are you now? Don't you know your shop is destroyed and your friend is dying in the hospital? And they took Elysia!"Adrian was silent for a moment, he immediately recognized that was Elysia's mother's voice."What happened?" Adrian asked.The woman screamed again, "I should be asking you that!""We didn't do anything, but they took Elysia because they think Elysia is involved with you!""You jinx!""Can't you just break up properly with Elysia and disappear! Never show up again!""Stop making problems that involve Elysia!"Adrian thought quickly, analyzing the random information f
