Just a moment before now, when the guards John had called stepped in, Lyra thought Adrian must already be afraid—from the way he looked. He was sweating even though the air was naturally calm, not suffocating enough for someone to have that much sweat covering their face.

She instinctively reacted by stepping up, trying to hold John back. Somehow, she was trying to protect Adrian.

But what surprises her now is how unnaturally calm Adrian seems as he speaks. It’s almost as if his earlier sweaty countenance wasn’t from fear, as she had assumed.

“What do you mean? How’d you know it’s not contagious? You’re just a lowly doctor who has no special titles or anything to his name. What makes you think you have any say here? You better not say what you don’t know,” John said, looking toward Adrian with disdainful eyes.

“I’ll call Mr. Williams right now. I heard he came to this city last night, so he should still be around,” John added pridefully.

“What? So John has the personal contact of the

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 310

    Vivienne had signed all the necessary documents and much paperwork that she’s to have copies of as well.Everything was settled and now it was time for them to leave as the council members were all gathered for this purpose.The whole thing didn’t take much time as Vivienne might have thought when they first entered, and she saw all the council members. She was a bit stunned about why they were here, and then it shocked her when they all bowed their heads and greeted Adrian, showing significant respect to him.This was because of what happened with the council at Vereluxe City, which is the city Adrian and Vivienne initially were in, but they’ve come to another city which is the headquarters now to sign these important documents.They’d learnt of the corruption of the people, and also what Adrian had done in some way exposed them because he didn’t only teach them a lesson that stopped at Joe and his father, but also exposed the other members for their doings.And more to it was when S

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 309

    Kaelithar continued to have fun as he walked amongst the men, using a small dagger in his hand to draw marks on their faces one after the other, causing them pain and torture as he tore deep into their skin and left the wounds open there like it was some sort of pleasure to him as he did this.“You know one thing… We’re not as weak as you people, and we don’t need those technologies to become stronger, and everything about technology you people know is because we introduced it to you people and made it possible for you to know about it, and y’all think you’re superior just by having money.” Kaelithar continued to crazily explain.What was the point if he was going to kill them anyway? One of the men thought inwardly. He seemed to have accepted his fate and did not even struggle to free himself at all like the others who were still groaning in pain. But he remained calm.“The hierarchy is simple. The ones with more money get to rule over the poor

    And for a moment Adrian can’t help but exhale in relief that he actually didn’t mess things up, and it looked as if he’s successful in convincing his Kareth to not be mad at him anymore. Seeing his reaction now, Adrian could only imagine him to be like a son to him.He was young-looking and had red hair that made him look a bit different, but his body structure was nicely shaped as if made out of iron.His jawline was slightly more refined, and he had piercing eyes that looked bluish or so…His nose was slightly pointed, one with a charming aura that’s always in his every move, making him seem incredibly attractive.Adrian was sure if a girl was to see him now, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and images that’d appear in her head in an instant.“So, what do you say about reuniting back…” Adrian said.He was trying to choose his words more cautiously after seeing how easily he could get angry and ev

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 307

    Adrian was too carried away to notice that Vivienne was blushing away like she hit a jackpot or something until she finally muttered, “Dr. Foster, careful.” She warned in a shaky voice as he was now driving recklessly without knowing it; he was going off the road.And just then he snapped and paid more attention to the road as he still had his hand on her lap, not letting go.‘This is strange… why is he suddenly acting clingy with me?’ Vivienne thought as she now didn’t have the blushing expression on her face anymore.But it soon resumed again once Adrian stared at her, and in his eyes were pure smiles that she couldn’t resist to reciprocate back the energy.And the air around them soon thickened in an awkward manner, but none of them broke the silence.“Oh, now you won’t let me be?” Adrian’s Kareth said. Its expression was tightened as if he was angry.The Kareth usually appeared in the shape of a person, and there’d

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 306

    Adrian and Vivienne head to the council headquarters where they’re to sign some necessary documents concerning her business.This time she wasn’t starting again with the old business, but instead Adrian and Steve had made better preparation for her about this whole thing, and she couldn’t quite understand many things yet. She’s been trying not to be the type who always asks too many questions, just like her former self who always chased after Adrian. This time she just wants him to naturally tell her what he wants her to know, and she’s being careful not to push too hard.This has been her trait ever since she noticed there’s a lot more to Adrian than she first thought of him, and now she can’t shake off the feeling that it’s better for her not to pressure him. But this urge won’t last long, as during their ride to the council office, Vivienne finally had to ask a question.She had many to ask, but at least this one was important and she couldn’t ignore it.“Why would you trust Kaelit

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 305

    Steve did have a point when he reminded them that the men that came along with Draxen also saw the whole scene, and he could tell they would immediately report what had happened to Draxen once they are released, and this could also mean that they might not get to even see Vivienne’s parents before they report this.But this wasn’t the main thing on Adrian’s mind as he was watching closely and trying to calculate something.‘Just what’s his motive for killing Draxen in the first place?’ Adrian thought.Looking at him now and the way he was acting, Kaelithar seemed like the person who was trying to redeem himself from his wrong deeds, but it just doesn’t sit right anyway.There’s been something that Adrian knows about Kaelithar that he himself has no idea of. Adrian’s father had told him everything before.This includes that they would come for him, try to lure him into trusting them and feel like his father was on the wrong and they’re the ones who are right. After all, his father was
