Chapter 155

Author: Star Pomelo
Andrew's expression stiffened, which the young man noticed right away, and it made him flustered. He started regretting his question, wondering if he shouldn't have asked it in the first place.

"I'm sorry about that, Mr. Hawke. It was very presumptuous of me to ask you that question."

However, Andrew simply smiled and said, "It's fine. The painting does exist, but I'm sorry. I can't reveal the subject of the painting."

The young man nodded, but his eyes gleamed with longing. He would love to see the painting that Andrew had kept hidden for so many years.

While the two were talking, a reporter just so happened to be standing nearby. He overheard their entire exchange.

That night, an article went viral, and the headline read, "What's the Subject of Andrew Hawke's Long-Cherished Painting?"

Stephanie was having dinner with Adrian when the topic started trending online. They were dining at a restaurant that served Cardona-style cuisine, which featured light flavors.

    Soon, Adrian and Stephanie had tracked down the IP address of the person who made that post. It was a hospital in Jetterpolis.At the same time, Andrew's studio issued an official statement clarifying that the teaser poster depicted a fictional character—one Andrew had created—and was not based on anyone in real life. The statement urged everyone to stop the speculation.The studio also released a landscape painting, claiming it was Andrew's long-cherished work. It was of a place he had visited as a child with his parents. Since he had made many happy memories there, he created the painting and kept it to himself this whole time.As the painting was indeed one that no one had ever seen before, no one questioned the statement released by the studio.But as Andrew stared at the painting on his screen, he smiled bitterly. Only he knew what the subject of the painting he'd cherished all these years truly was.…Over at the hospital, Kiara was so furious after reading the statement re

    Stephanie frowned when she looked at the username again. "JustDieAlready" was such a blatantly malicious username. That, combined with the overtly leading caption, made it clear this wasn't just some random post by a casual online user.But soon, the post was deleted.Stephanie refreshed the page a few times, just to confirm that it had been removed completely. Not only that, but all of the comments and posts related to that one had vanished without a trace as well.She looked up at Adrian, who sat across from her. He was also looking down at his phone. Though his face was expressionless, his gaze was cold."You saw the trending topic and that post as well? You got someone to delete it, right?""Yeah." Adrian nodded. "Your name appeared in the comments section just now."It was unclear whether someone had made the link to Stephanie by accident or if it had been a deliberate attempt to stir things up and drag her into this by mentioning her name.Either way, he couldn't let thing

    "Are you sure it was Adrian who did it?" Tyler asked.Jonathan sneered. "Who else could it be?""But why would he suddenly go after your businesses?""Why else? Our families have always been at odds." Jonathan gave a vague answer.He couldn't let Tyler know that Adrian came after him because he'd run his mouth in front of Stephanie. Otherwise, Tyler might deduce that he had his eyes on Stephanie too.Tyler didn't read too much into it. In fact, his impression of Jonathan started to change a little.All along, he'd assumed that Jonathan was just a playboy who idled his days away. He didn't know that Jonathan had set up so many of his own businesses.Even though Adrian had easily shut down more than half of them with just a single move, at the very least, it proved that Jonathan could be a reliable partner and not just the playboy everyone thought he was."Adrian Hawke is a ruthless man, alright," Tyler said coldly. "Seems like it's even more crucial for us to team up now, Mr. Th

    It was understandable why everyone thought Adrian didn't like women. Over the years, countless stunning women had been enamored with him, yet he had remained indifferent to all of them. No one ever managed to get close to him.That was why even Pierce wondered about it.It'd come out of nowhere when, one day, he found out that Adrian was about to marry Stephanie.He understood Adrian well enough to know that Adrian would never allow himself to be part of a marriage of convenience. It had to mean that he genuinely had feelings for Stephanie.And now, he was even more certain that it wasn't just a matter of having feelings for her. He was clearly deeply in love with her!"What are you staring at me for?" Adrian asked without lifting his head."Oh. I was just thinking about something. I heard that people were secretly making bets, you know," Pierce remarked with a grin. "They were betting to see if you'd start dating before you turned 30 years old. I heard the stakes got pretty high

    Meanwhile, over at Adrian's office, Pierce watched Adrian as he listened to someone giving him a full report over the phone. Once the call ended, Pierce asked curiously, "What exactly did Jonathan do to offend you?"He was aware of the conflict between the Hawkes and the Thorns, but Jonathan's business ventures didn't seem worthy of Adrian's attention."He runs his mouth too much," Adrian said indifferently.Pierce raised a brow, clearly unconvinced by Adrian's explanation.Jonathan had always been mouthy. If Adrian really cared about that, he would've dealt with Jonathan long ago."Let me guess… Did he somehow run his mouth in front of Stephanie?" Pierce asked.Ignoring Pierce, Adrian started going through his documents. Since he didn't deny it, Pierce assumed he got it right."Looks like you've really fallen in love," Pierce remarked thoughtfully. "I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you like this. But thinking about it, it makes sense. You wouldn't have agre
