The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 260
Even after Adriana and Oliver left, Daisy never said a word. She simply couldn't bring herself to.She cared about being an illegitimate daughter. She cared about her mother's past as a mistress. She cared about her identity as Mrs. Slater.Dean could have women outside—but he couldn't get caught, and it certainly couldn't damage her reputation.Sitting in the car, Adriana felt a lingering unease.On the surface, Daisy seemed fine, but she could sense that something was weighing heavily on her."Oliver, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Daisy.""I will." Oliver nodded.Daisy's mother had once been Daisy's father's secretary. In order to climb higher, she drugged him—and that was how Daisy came to be.Daisy's father had always been a man of integrity. Because of that incident, everyone in the Reeves family—from him down to his sons and daughters—looked down on Daisy.Even Neo, known for his calm and reserved nature, held nothing but disdain for her and her mother.The

When Adriana had first arrived at Sanctity, her eyes had always carried a trace of exhaustion. Now, they held only light—the bright, eager glow of anticipation for her research results."I've been working out regularly. I'm in great shape."She bent her arm and gave her bicep a playful tap.Thinking of everything that had happened while she was abroad, Oliver said, "Aunt Daisy hasn't been doing well lately. She's been taking psychiatric medication. The other day when I visited, I saw her take six pills at once—that's beyond the prescribed dosage."Adriana frowned with concern."What has Dean been up to lately?""Nothing," Oliver shook his head. "There are no injuries on her, and there hasn't been any news about Dean causing trouble.""What about your family? Have they been putting pressure on her?" Adriana pressed."Grandfather went abroad for treatment, and Aunt Daisy hasn't been in contact with the family.""I'll go see her."Aside from Dean and the Reeves family, Adriana c

Uncle Estev muttered something in Mitalian—Adriana couldn't understand the words. But judging by his tone, it was clearly a harsh curse.Bianca burst into tears, shrinking back and hiding behind Francesco.Grabbing her hand, Francesco strode out in a fury."Uncle Estev, I'll be going. Thank you for your hospitality."Adriana offered a polite farewell before following them out of the casino.Even after they boarded the plane, Francesco's expression remained dark and stormy. He didn't say a word.Bianca sniffled softly, occasionally stealing glances at him.Adriana couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.The dynamic between Bianca and Uncle Estev—and between Uncle Estev and Francesco—felt… strange.After landing, Francesco looked at her. "Come inside and get something to eat.""No, thanks. I already ate over there. I'll trouble Mars to take me back to the hotel."After everything that had happened during a single meal,

Even if he managed to bring Anna back, Chris had no intention of making her identity public.Unwilling to continue the topic, he changed the subject. "Adriana, when are you going back home?""My work isn't finished yet. I'll probably need another two or three days."She still had a factory visit to complete, and the timing hadn't been finalized.Chris nodded. "I'll wait and go back with you."He also wanted to find another opportunity to persuade Anna, which would likely take a few more days."No need to wait. Adriana will be flying back on my private plane," Francesco said in a low voice. Then he added, "By the way, I'm her superior. During this business trip, she answers to me."Adriana didn't bother arguing. She turned to Chris, her expression calm."Chris, you should head back first. There are still some work details that haven't been finalized."No matter what, she didn't want Chris getting too entangled with the people and affairs of the casino.Worried she might grow s

Hearing that, Adriana's brows drew tightly together. She remembered that the last time she had come to the casino, Chris had been here as well.Uncle Estev asked, "Cesco, do you know him?""There is indeed a Slater family in Heatherton City. Miss Adler might be more familiar."As he spoke, Francesco glanced at Adriana."I'll go take a look."Following behind the burly guard, Adriana felt a growing unease.She couldn't imagine what connection Chris could possibly have with a casino. In her mind, it was hardly a respectable place. Silently, she prayed it wasn't him."Uncle, leave this to me," Francesco said, then followed them out.…"Sir, please leave."Ahead, two large men stood in front of a woman, seemingly shielding her.Adriana recognized the woman—it was the casino waitress.She hurried forward—and sure enough, it was Chris.Chris hadn't expected to see her here. He froze in shock."Adriana? What are you doing here?""That's what I should be asking you. What are you

Adriana quietly took a seat at the very back, remaining silent the entire time.Fortunately, the journey wasn't long, and they arrived soon enough.She had been tempted to ask why the banquet was being held inside a casino.The thought had barely crossed her mind when Uncle Estev provided the answer himself."Don't let the setting fool you. In all of Benice City, you won't find a better chef than the one I have here."Adriana hadn't tried other restaurants in the city, but the food here was undeniably excellent.Bianca, however, seemed afraid of Uncle Estev. After offering a brief greeting upon arrival, she shrank behind Francesco and stayed there, silent, not even daring to glance in Uncle Estev's direction.Then again, Uncle Estev was tall and broad, with a thick beard and a naturally intimidating presence. It wasn't surprising she was afraid."Adriana, how has your husband been lately?""—Cough, cough!"Caught off guard by the sudden question, Adriana nearly choked on her

Francesco had actually recorded their conversation!Adriana's teeth itched with frustration. Truly, fate had a cruel sense of humor.Adriana: [What do you want from me?]The video he sent was clearly a threat.Francesco: [Come to the old place tonight for fencing, or this video will appear in yo

Francesco was supremely confident, moving without a shred of protective gear.Adriana tightened her grip on her sword, testing him with two tentative thrusts—both easily dodged by Francesco.His reflexes were lightning-fast, and soon he returned a strike of his own. Adriana couldn't evade it in ti

Daisy sat in the back seat of her luxury car, lost in thought.The driver spoke respectfully. "Madam, sir asked that you return his call."Daisy took her phone from her bag and dialed Dean."Chris isn't pretending to be sick. His face was extremely pale, and he barely had the strength to speak. I

Daisy studied Edward, a flicker of something unusual passing through her eyes. The boy looked far too much like a member of the Slater family."Mhm, I gave birth overseas," Joan said.She gently nudged Edward toward Daisy. "Edward, hurry up and say hello to Daisy.""Hello, Daisy.""So adorable,"
