Chapter 4

In the face of such a presumptuous question, Adam just smiled, took the microphone, looked at Snow, and said, “This depends on Miss Warma, but both Grant Corporation and I will forever support her.”

Snow gripped Adam’s fingers bashfully, and Adam’s hand trembled.

Ginnie saw all of this, and she dug her nails into her palms.

The product launch was abuzz with a fresh wave of excitement.

The emcee took the opportunity to say that they were about to announce the new product that Grant Corporation had been working on together with Snow.

After they drew the curtains, the audience let out amazed gasps, but Ginnie’s breathing froze. At that moment, she could not believe her eyes.

Grant Corporation dabbled mainly in the automobile industry, and they worked together with Snow to produce a car featuring a black-and-white design resembling the traditional art of the country. The aspects of art fused perfectly with the streamlined design of the car.

But the original draft of this black-and-white design had been Ginnie’s!

Before Adam succeeded in his business, she had personally fused together the concept of his car designs and traditional art and completed this draft for him. It was all so that she could help Adam with his career.

But later on, she injured her arm, and the original draft was left unfinished and set aside. It was then placed on a bookshelf.

Only she and Adam knew about this.

How did Snow get her draft and plagiarize it while claiming it to be her original design?

Ginnie’s heart sank, and she started trembling.

In the end, just as Snow started talking about the concept of her design, Ginnie was unable to quell the anger in her heart. She pushed the crowd away and rushed up the stage.

Slap!

She ran straight to Snow and brought up her uninjured arm to slap her.

“Snow, you stole my draft and had the gall to say you drew it?!”

Right after she shouted her question, someone tall shielded Snow.

Adam was furious as he stood before Snow and brought his hand up to slap Ginnie right back.

Stunned, Ginnie could only watch as Adam tried to hit her. Her heart almost stopped.

But Adam’s hand did not end up hitting her face.

Snow hid behind him and shouted right back at Ginnie, “What proof do you have to say I stole your work?! I’m going to sue you for slander! Adam, you have to prove my innocence!”

Ginnie waited silently for Adam’s reaction as grief shone in her eyes.

Adam just clenched his fists tightly and spoke to the security guards.

“Drag this crazy woman out! I don’t want to see her show up around Grant Corporation again!”

Then, he shoved Ginnie away mercilessly and cautiously escorted Snow away from the product launch, which had already descended into chaos.

As Snow looked at Ginnie mockingly, Ginnie was thrown out of Grant Corporation. She even started bleeding from the scratches on her palms.

Enduring the mocking stares from the people, an anguished, self-deprecating smile showed up on her face as she limped home.

Adam only arrived home at midnight, and he was even drunk.

He stumbled into their bedroom and crawled into bed to start touching Ginnie.

She shot up awake and shoved Adam away in a panic. “What’re you doing, Adam?!”

In the past, whenever Adam made her mad, he would always hug her affectionately, just like this, and beg for her forgiveness. Ginnie thought that he was going to do the same thing to apologize for what had happened during the day, but Adam started kissing her neck and unbuttoning her shirt. The situation was starting to get out of control.

“I missed you. Couldn’t I, honey?”

As she heard him calling her with such an endearing term, all Ginnie could think about was how Adam had protected Snow during the day.

He was the one who had nearly hit her because of Snow and even pretended not to know her while calling her a crazy woman. He was the one who chased her out in front of everyone else, and yet he was not apologizing but thinking about this?

What exactly was she to Adam?

She bit down on her lip and asked in distress, “Am I the one in your mind, or are you thinking about Snow?”

Adam stopped for a moment before he gently wiped away Ginnie’s tears.

“Snow is already married. How could I want her?”

But Ginnie knew that Adam was only being so affectionate with her because he saw Snow’s husband when he sent her home today.

Whenever he kissed her urgently, it was only to vent his jealousy of William.

Again. Just who was Ginnie to Adam?

Ginnie felt disgusted. With every ounce of her strength, she shoved Adam away and ran to the guest room while pulling her collar tightly together.
