Chapter 448: An unexpected marriage proposal
“Adrian, how come you are here?” Sara asked. Adrian chuckled. “Is there a reason for me not to be here?”“Not at all, it's just that our last meeting didn't exactly end on cordial terms.” Sara remarked.“Bah, don't overthink that. It's all in the past. Honestly, I was really worried when I found out you were admitted, I literally had to abandon everything and rush over immediately.”“How did you know I was here?” Sara asked. “Actually, I paid a visit to your family house before coming here. They were the ones that told me where you were.” Adrian warmly replied.“... I see.” Sara nodded.That made sense. “Anyway, how are you holding up? Your mom and dad told me about everything. You've been through quite a lot in recent weeks, haven't you?”“I'd rather not talk about it.” Sara remarked almost in an instant. The last thing she wanted to do was bring up memories of the past few weeks. “I can understand. Based on what you've experienced, very few people would want to talk about it. B
Chapter 447: Adrian Lucario
Alistair didn't turn around.Instead, he reached through the shattered driver's side window of the wrecked Ferrari, his fingers resting gently against Cassandra’s neck.A microscopic pulse of golden celestial qi slipped from his skin into her major arteries, instantly cauterizing the internal hemorrhaging and stabilizing her failing heart.Cassandra let out a soft, shuddering gasp as the life force flooded back into her body, shifting her from the brink of death into a stable, quiet unconsciousness."Hey! Are you deaf, motherfucker?!" Jack roared, unholstering his weapon and leveling the barrel directly at the back of Alistair's head. "I said step away!"Alistair slowly withdrew his hand from the car, smoothing down the cuff of his dark suit jacket.He turned around to face the eight armed men, his golden-tinted eyes glowing with a calm, terrifying majesty under the afternoon sun."You speak of employers and paychecks as if they grant you authority over human life," Alistair murmured,
Chapter 446: Encountering Cassandra Hawthorne again
At this point, even Roman didn't dare say anything to support Trina as he was worried that Alistair might just make a call to get him fired.How terrible would that be?Meanwhile, Trina trembled as she looked up to meet Alistair's gaze.“Please spare me, I didn't know who you were and I ended up making a mistake.” She pleaded but Alistair was having none of it as he sneered.“Would it have been a mistake if I didn't have a means to defend myself?... You would have humiliated me all because I stood up for my rights. If you think you are above the law for being rich, then I have no reason to bother with you since I am above you.” “No please, I promise I won't do this again. Just give me a second chance.” Alistair smiled. “I don't feel like it and since I'd rather not embarrass you more than this, you can take your sorry self and get out of here. I hope you learn humility someday. If there's anyone I pity, it's your family that would now have to suffer all because of you.” With that,
Chapter 445: Not a simple man
“Alright,” Alistair replied after Isabella's report and then ended the call.“Oh, done with the call already?... So what did your contact say?” Trina asked in a mocking tone, holding back her laughter. “That it's done.”“Oh.” Trina's phone suddenly rang, cutting her off.Frowning, she took out her phone to find that it was her father who was calling her.She answered. “Hey, Dad.”“Trina, who the fuck did you offend!... What have you done!?”Taken aback at her father screaming at her, Trina inquired. “Dad, what's going on?”“What's going on is that we are bankrupt!” “What!?” Trina couldn't believe her ears as her eyes widened in shock.She stared at Alistair, who remained calm even now, merely staring at her.“Dad, what do you mean we are bankrupt?”Others who had been laughing quickly quieted down upon hearing her question.Bankrupt?... What did she mean they were bankrupt?“What the hell do you think bankruptcy means!... We are broke!” Luther screamed at the other end, clearly unab
Chapter 444: Responding in kind
Murmurs broke out among those in line as they began to mock Alistair.“See what I said; I knew she'd end up teaching him a lesson. It's his mistake for thinking he could prevent Miss Trina from having her way.”“Now I'm sure he's going to regret ever standing up in the first place. Next time, he'd learn to keep his mouth shut.”Meanwhile, Trina smirked as she stared at Alistair, who remained calm as he remarked.“So, for calling you out, you plan to be unreasonable.”“Unreasonable?... Of course, this punishment is not permanent. In fact, I would be happy to release it right now if this fine gentleman goes on his knees and begs for my mercy like a dog. Maybe then, I'd be inclined to lift this punishment. What do you think, Mister Roman? Is this me being reasonable, right?” Mister Roman nodded. “Absolutely.”Then, to Alistair, he remarked. “What are you waiting for? Quickly beg for mercy, else you can say goodbye to whatever you came here for and get out because I don't plan to attend
Chapter 443: Encounter with a spoilt brat
Alistair wasn't in a rush so he accepted after which he found a place to sit while waiting for his turn.After almost two hours of waiting, it was finally his turn but just as he waited for the receptionist to call him up, a woman walked in, accompanied by four guards.“Miss Trina.” The receptionist greeted respectfully while the others that were there began to murmur amongst themselves.“Isn't that Miss Trina Merino, daughter of Luther Merino, one of the richest men in the city?”“I think it's her.”“Oh my goodness, she's so beautiful. I've never seen her in person. She looks just like a princess.”“I wish I could talk to her just once.”“Keep dreaming. She only talks with celebrities and the big dogs of society. If you want to talk with her, have at least a billion dollars in your account.”Meanwhile, Alistair was waiting for Trina to finish talking so he could get his card to head in to see the officer in charge of giving out visas.“I need to speak with the officer in charge about
