    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Life in wealthy families was always full of drama. Apart from Adrian, Nathaniel’s uncle had another son, though both were currently working abroad at the overseas branch of Orion Corporation.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This situation wasrgely due to Nathaniel’s firm and decisive actions in the past. Without his intervention, his uncle and cousin might not have left so easily.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Recently, Cecilia had noticed some unease within Orion Corporation. She suspected that Nathaniel’s uncle and his associates were plotting a return.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As Cecilia entered the house, the housekeepers quickly fell silent, stopping their gossip, but once she passed, they resurned their chatter. “She does have a soft spot for Nathaniel. She’d always be the first to return home to care for him every day and thest to leave”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Maybe it’s because of his good looks. He might have be a fool, but he’s still a handsome man.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Though Cecilia wore a hearing aid, she didn’t catch theirments. Had she overheard the housekeepers‘ wild imaginings, she would have probably burst intoughter.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Originally, Cecilia had wanted to inquire about Adrian’s situation, but now she had a clearer picture of what had unfolded.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, Adrian’s life was in chaos. Miranda had dered that if the five hundred million couldn’t be recovered, she would divorce him.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian tried to console her, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Knowing that Cecilia had returned, he was eager to confront her and reim the money.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Determined, he made up his mind. if Cecilia dares to pull any more tricks, I’ll teach her a lesson on the spot!</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As soon as Cecilia returned, she sought out Elena, apanying her in arranging flowers.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena treated her remarkably well at that time. She even personally taught her step by step.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mr. Adrian ha</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mdm. Elena, Mr. Adrian has arrived. He says he’s looking for Ce… Mrs. Rainsworth, a housekeeper said.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What for?” Elena found it a bit odd.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The housekeeper shook his head.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia wondered. “Is it because of what happened with Miranda?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena felt it was highly possible. She then instructed the housekeeper, “Tell him that I ask him to leave.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Noted” The housekeeper turned and left.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Adrian found himself at a loss, but he wasn’t ready to give in. Instead, he lingered in a secluded corner, plotting to confront Cecilia as soon as she came out of the room.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unbeknownst to him, eyes were watching from the shadows, in ces he couldn’t see.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As each minute passed, Adrian grew increasingly impatient. Thankfully, by the time nightfall arrived, Cecilia finally emerged.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He stepped forward briskly, seizing her arm. “I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time!”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia tried to wriggle free from his grasp, but it was no use. “Let go!”</font></font>


    “How dare you trick me? Give me back the money I gave you right now, and I might pretend this never happened,” Adrian said, his tone more of a threat than anything else.


    His initial n was to secure the money first, then deal with Cecilia.


    Cecilia was no fool. “What money? What are you babbling about?”


    Adrian had always perceived Cecilia as a woman of integrity and modesty, which was why he dared to make such a shameless.


    “Where’s the five hundred million I gave you?” Adrian asked, his voiceced with hostility.


    Cecilia shed a bewildered look. “What five hundred million? Adrian, I don’t recall ever borrowing that much money from you. Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”


    Her knack for ying dumb was truly unparalleled.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Adrian couldn’t hold it back anymore. “How dare you y dumb with me? I could kill you right now, you know that? Now that Nathaniel has be a fool, who else do you think is here to protect you?”


    As he spoke, Adrian dragged Cecilia toward a secluded spot. I have already spent all my money on her. I can’t possibly leave empty- handed, right!


    Cecilia wasn’t afraid of him at all, as she had bodyguards surrounding her.


    Sure enough, before Adrian couldy a hand on her, several figures emerged from the darkness, swiftly overpowering him and stuffing him into a sack.
