Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Cedric. “Your mouth is as foul as ever. Trust me when I say that I can beat your mouth into a pulp!”“Hah-hah-hah!” Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing.Paraiso was his territory. Why should he be afraid of a deadbeat when he was on home ground?Cedric chuckled and said, “F*ck you. You really are bold to speak to me in that manner in my company. Trust me when I say that I can make you incapable of walking out of here.“Adrian, do you still think that Paraiso belongs to your father? Hahaha! I’ll let you know that Paraiso isn’t affiliated with you in any way.”“Are you trying to get yourself killed by coming here?” said Jacob as he sneered.“Cut the crap. Let’s break his legs first before anything else,” scolded Cedric.Upon saying that, Cedric pulled out his phone and made a call, “Hello, security. Gather all the guards and send them to the ground level of the building at once. Remember to get everyone to come with a baton.“

Mya nodded upon hearing this. She waved her hand and said, “Take them and send them to the Xanders's home.”“Yes, ma’am!”Mya’s subordinates dragged them into the car.After handling Cedric and Jacob, Adrian left Paraiso.***Meanwhile, Harold, Leonard, Wilfred, and the other Xanders were having a meeting at home.Riley was present as well. The main content of the meeting was regarding her decision to resign from the family business. Harold was furious regarding this matter.Harold said, “Riley, you’re a woman of our family so it’s only right for you to work for the family business. Yet, you’re telling me that you wish to resign?“The Xanders have raised you for so many years. Are our efforts for nothing?”Harold had always practiced patriarchy, and his favorite grandsons were Cedric and Jacob. He treated Riley the same as Adaline and refused to regard her as his grandsons’ equal.Meanwhile, Leonard said, “Riley, your grandfather is right. You’re a Xander. Where else will you

“M-Ms. Mya, may I know how you’re related to Adrian? Why would you want to help him?” Harold nervously asked as he looked at Mya.Mya loosened her hair and replied, “I’ll say it again. If you don’t do as Adrian said within the given time, I’ll personally come to Xander Manor and end every single person here.”Mya turned around and left the manor, leaving Harold to fall limp into his sofa.Leonard, Wilfred, and the rest were confused and panicking.“What’s the matter, Father? Who was that woman? Why do you seem so afraid of her?”“Who is she?“Who else could she be? She’s Jason Dean’s granddaughter. I just can’t figure out how Adrian had gotten her to help him!” Harold said in shock.Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They, of course, know who Jason Dean was.The Deans were a top-tier family in Southrive, so much so that the Xander household could not compare to them.Still stunned, Leonard asked, “Are you sure, Father? How could that deadbeat possibly be acquainted wit

To Mandy’s surprise, despite Samantha’s former career in the fashion industry, she was not planning to open up another fashion company.Instead, Samantha wanted to form a pharmaceutical company.“I’m curious, Sam. Bailar has been in the fashion industry for so many years, so why do you wish to form a pharmaceutical company instead?” Mandy looked at Samantha in confusion.“To tell you the truth…”Mandy looked at Samantha with a puzzled expression.“While my grandfather was alive, he opened a company in partnership with Henry Xander, my grandfather-in-law. At the time, my grandfather thought pharmaceutics held great potential, which was why I majored in it for my degree.“On top of that, Paraiso is also a pharmaceutical company, and my husband would like to complete the dream his father failed to achieve.“My friend was the one who chose what industry Bailar was going to be involved in and I didn’t have a say, but I do now.”Samantha had always been rather knowledgeable in pharma

“Really?!” Rue asked in shock.Samantha nodded vigorously. “Yes, and it’s all thanks to Adrian! I wouldn’t have had the courage to meet Mandy if not for him.”Rue was all smiles at this point. “Your father would always say that there’s always something good to be found in losses, and I’ve always believed that. I’m glad to see you two are in a good place in your relationship now.“By the way, Ada called. She’s doing really well on campus, her classmates are being nice to her, and she’s being well taken care of. In fact, she was awarded a scholarship.”Hearing this, Samantha said, “Ada’s a good girl, plus she’s really strong academically. It’s no surprise the university is giving her special treatment. I’m happy she’s doing well.”Rue nodded and said, “I happened to have bought some fresh ingredients earlier, so I’ll go cook you two something nice to eat right now. You two go ahead and take your time.”***While Rue headed to the kitchen, Samantha returned to her room. She had no
