Chapter 120

Author: Chronos
Francesco watched silently, his blue eyes like a dark sea beneath a restless sky.

Adriana's pale little face—fragile in appearance—was cruel at its core.

"Take care of yourself. Bella will come by later."

He didn't wait for a response, simply turned, and left.

Adriana closed her eyes, tears slipping silently from the corners.

When Bella arrived, she found her exactly like this.

"Francesco bullied you again?"

"I hurt him… again," Adriana murmured, lifting an arm to cover her eyes. "Bella,

    Adriana opened the USB drive. Inside, there was only a single video, about seven or eight minutes long.When things had grown intense between her and Francesco, they had recorded some wild videos together. Could it be…Uneasy, she clicked it open. The content was clean, but it still made her nerves tighten.Dawn was just breaking. Pale morning light spread across the sky. Chris sat alone on a bridge spanning the river, looking down at the water as if waiting for something.The cold wind tousled his hair, his face drained to an ashen pallor. He glanced at his phone, the hand holding it trembling slightly.Then, bracing himself against the wheelchair, he leaned forward—and without hesitation, plunged into the river.Adriana covered her face, unable to keep watching.This was from the day she had been kidnapped—the moment Chris had jumped into the river to save her.Even just watching the footage made her heart pound in terror.The bridge stood more than twenty meters above the w

    After an indeterminate stretch of time, Adriana's knees had gone numb with pain. At last, Daisy lifted her head from Adriana's embrace and slowly pushed herself to her feet.Oliver stepped forward to steady her unsteady frame. "Aunt Daisy, if anyone is bullying you, you have to tell me.""Thank you." Daisy's voice was soft. She limped as she made her way out."I'll take care of it," Adriana said with a nod to Oliver before hurrying after her.She helped Daisy into the back seat and drove straight to the Nash family's private hospital.Upon arrival, she went to find Alex."Alex, I need a female doctor who can keep things confidential."Alex glanced at Daisy's haggard appearance. Without asking a single question, he immediately arranged for a reliable young female doctor.Adriana spoke gently, reassuring her, "Daisy, the director of this hospital is my friend. It's safe here."Daisy nodded obediently. She was too exhausted—too exhausted to care about anything anymore, even herse

    When she opened the box and saw a blue USB drive lying quietly inside, Adriana froze for a moment.She pinched it between her fingers, turning it over and over, hesitating. Even after a long pause, she still couldn't decide whether to open it.She had no idea what Francesco might have stored inside—and feared even more that whatever it contained might disturb the fragile calm she had managed to hold onto.Just then, Oliver's call came through, cutting off her thoughts."Adriana, are you home?""What's wrong?"Mindful of the listening device in the house, Adriana avoided addressing him too familiarly."Come to the old family residence. I'll send you the location now.""Okay."Hearing the urgency in his voice, Adriana guessed it was most likely related to Daisy. She quickly threw on a coat, left the house, and drove toward the old district.The evening rush hour hadn't fully cleared, and it took her a full forty minutes to reach the estate hidden beneath the shadows of plane tr

    "You taught me how to write, read to me, picked out my clothes every day, and corrected my bad habits. All the things our parents should have done—you did them for me," Chris said as he lowered his head with a faint smile, concealing the flicker of loneliness in his eyes.He continued, "So when I learned that my own brother wanted me dead, my entire world collapsed. I've always listened to you, Dean. I still do. If you want a fight, then I'll see it through to the end."Dean tilted his head back. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, scattering across his face in broken fragments, making his already pale complexion appear almost translucent.When he felt the warmth of the light, he looked back at Chris, his expression once again as still and unreadable as an ancient well."Chris, you're crippled. They'll never allow a cripple to hold both the chairman and CEO positions—it would damage the company's image. Even if you defeat me, you still won't get what you want."A faint, mocking

    "Did you tamper with the data to sabotage me?"Inside the chairman's office of the Slater Group, Dean fixed his gaze on Joan, who stood before him in tears, her face like a rain-soaked blossom.Choking back sobs, Joan tried to explain, "I never meant to harm you. If the data was found to be wrong, that would've been Adriana's responsibility. Who would've thought she kept a private backup?""At worst, Adriana would've just lost her job, but I could lose control of the entire Slater Group. You used one of my major projects to satisfy your personal vendetta. I honestly don't know whether to call you malicious or just stupid."Dean slowly removed his gold-rimmed glasses, folded them neatly, and placed them on the desk.When he looked up again, every trace of emotion had vanished from his face, leaving behind a cold, lifeless stillness.Joan grabbed his hand, pleading, "Dean, please help me. I don't want to leave the company."She had thought everything was already settled. Who could

    Chris's favoritism toward Joan was something Adriana had long since grown used to. It didn't even hurt anymore. But this time, with solid evidence in hand, she had no intention of letting it slide."I'm not just helping you—I'm defending Sanctity Group's authority. Slater Group has been acting with complete impunity. What do they take our employees for?"You've worked day and night on that project, only to be repaid with betrayal. From now on, Sanctity Group will have nothing to do with the Slater family!"Neo's face darkened with anger. His fists clenched as he gestured sharply in the air."Charlie, upload the recording and send it to Dean."Charlie hesitated. "But Sir, he is still under investigation.""Then send it to Chris. Tell him he has one hour to give an explanation and a solution. I'll be waiting right here."Neo pulled off his suit vest and tossed it to Charlie before sitting down across from Adriana."Even if he comes up with a solution, I'll still make this public—

    Francesco opened his hand, revealing a sky-blue diamond earring of incalculable value resting in his palm.The air seemed to freeze. Adriana felt as if she'd fallen into an ice cavern, staring at him in disbelief.The earring had been a gift from Grandma Rosie for her eighteenth birthday—a coming-

    Adriana tossed and turned in the suite bed, unable to find rest. She didn't understand Francesco's intentions in bringing her here, and the unease gnawed at her.By the time dawn broke, the faint murmur of voices drifted from outside. She pushed the door open and saw Mars had arrived."What time a

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of

    Chris looked at Joan. "Joanie, go home and take care of Edward. I'm fine now."Joan pursed her lips, scowled, and left without another word."You okay?" Adriana asked.Chris didn't answer, just reached out his hand.Adriana hesitated for a moment, then offered hers. He shook his head.After a b
