“Five hundred million? How can a pair of earrings be worth that much? That is highway robbery.” Patricia spoke agitatedly as she walked back and forth in Richard's study.
“Would you stop pacing? You are giving me a headache." Richard's rigid tone cut through h

Chapter 130
Management was not one of Geoffrey's strengths.Vale Industries, once made up of fourteen subsidiaries, was now down to three.The rest had been sold, some barely worth the price they fetched.What remained was nothing but a hollow name.Shareholders had pulled out because of how things were going, and Helena knew if drastic measures were not taken soon, they might end up destitute.Helena had not realised it before, but her eyes were open now.Adrian was a perfect opportunity sent to save them, and she was not letting him go.<

“Can you believe this? How did he get that lucky?” Helena's tone was contemplative as she stirred her tea. Her gaze was glued to the screen where the reporter was delivering the breaking news. On the screen, the image of Adrian standing tall with the God of War’s arm around him was clear for all to see. The soldiers standing behind them, rigid as statues, were the icing.Geoffrey hummed in his throat as he watched the news offhandedly while reaching for his honey-drenched pastry. Vivian was dressed to the nines, her attention half on the TV and mostly on her

Richard felt insulted by the boy’s audacity. Yet as his gaze went to the general, who stood some paces behind Adrian like a guardian angel, he remembered the conditions he had agreed to.First, hold the event in his home.

That did it. The title he had never thought would be directed at him.His shoulders shook involuntarily as he tried to hold back his suppressed emotions that seemed to be crashing on him from all angles.Understanding without a word spoken, the general slung an arm around Adrian's shoulder, head bent towards him as he whispered, “You deserve it and more.”Adrian had a lot to say, yet he could only utter thickly, “Thank you.”The reporters were having a field day, taking pictures from different angles, typing frantically on their tabs and jotting away with frenzy as they whispered excitedly among themselves.“Can y

Unspoken questions filled the hall as all eyes turned to the general.Yet, no one dared speak under the watch of the soldiers surrounding Major General Jenkins. The general stayed silent like he had no idea what Adrian had just said. When Richard gave him a direct questioning look, Charles merely shrugged.An act that revealed nothing and yet said everything.Patricia got her own interpretation from that and turned back to Adrian. “Shameless! That is what you are. I am so relieved you are no longer my disgrace. This is why you can never compare to Daniel. He would never discard his blood, just to cling to a m

Her voice rang clearly.“I no longer have a son like you.”She was convinced Adrian would immediately regret his actions. He must have thought of falling back on her name after ditching the Cross's name. As if she would even claim a…“You don't have to worry, Ms Lenning. The feeling is mutual.”"Ms Lenning? Is that how you address your mother? You…”“You must be forgetting something, ma'am. You are dead to me, remember?”Adrian's amused tone was the last straw
