“I only smashed a couple of machines. Moreover, the machines still work so nineteen thousand dollars is already quite a lot of money,” Elroy said anxiously.“It’s one million and five hundred thousand dollars now,” Adrian announced.“One million and five hundred thousand?”Elroy was crying. He had not even made one million in profit after opening his factory for so many years, and now this man was asking for one million five hundred in compensation? He figured he would not scrape together that much money even after he sold the factory.He burst into tears for real this time. He never expected to get himself into trouble today. Moreover, he was in deep trouble.Elroy said anxiously, “I’m sorry, my friend. I’m at fault for not recognizing your mightiness. Let’s talk about the compensation another day, okay? Please let me get to the hospital first!”Adrian chuckled. “I’ve always been very strict in the way I do things. Either I get the money or I’ll break that other arm of yours. Ei

Adrian considered for a moment and said, “You’ve set your bar too high. There are many good men in Swallowston, you know? You can find someone and settle down. After that, you can have a child. You can have it all too.”“Get out of here!” Joanna glared at Adrian. “What do you know? The greatest happiness in a woman’s life is to have a child with her lover. I can’t just stoop so low and get pregnant with just anybody, right?”Adrian said, “Fine. What’s your type then? I’ll set you up on a date another day.”“Someone like you,” Joanna said bluntly.“Like me?”“Yes!”Joanna giggled and said, “First, the person has to look as handsome and domineering as you. In truth, the definition of handsome according to most women is not based upon the man’s good looks but it’s the man’s masculine presence.”Adrian answered, “Ah, I see. Go on…”Joanna narrowed her eyes and sank into deep thought. “Second, the man will need to have abs and some scars, just like you. Also, he has to know how to p

Patrick instantly flew into a great rage when he saw Joanna being hugged by a man.He shouted, “Get him!”A few bodyguards got out of Patrick’s car and surrounded Adrian’s.Patrick said, “Boy, how dare you challenge my limits. I’m going to break both your legs today and then put you in jail!”Adrian chuckled and said, “Your daughter consented to this and you can’t stop it. Also, as a father, you have the right to an opinion in your daughter’s marriage but the final choice is not up to you.“I recommend you leave and figure out a way to fix your relationship with Jojo. Give up on the idea of arranging a marriage for her just so you can help your illegitimate son..”Patrick wanted to arrange a marriage for Joanna so that the DuPont family’s influence would grow.The DuPont family would be handed over to his illegitimate son, Jimmy, in the future. Now, his illegitimate son had already been recognized as a member of the family and had moved into the family home after Joanna’s mother

Samantha noticed that Joanna looked like she had been crying as soon as she walked through the door.Even though Joanna had already cleaned up on the way home, Samantha still noticed it.She hastily said, “What’s going on with Jojo, Adrian? Did you bully her? Why did she cry?”Adrian shrugged.Joanna replied, “It’s nothing. I’m fine, Sam.”Adrian explained, “Her father came to see her and tried to make her go home to get married.”Samantha was astonished by the story and immediately started seething in anger. ‘Why are marriage alliances still being practiced in this day and age?’“That’s ridiculous!”Samantha ranted, “Is there something wrong with that man’s head or something? He got rid of his wife and put his daughter in a bad situation, yet he’s still proud of himself. A deadbeat like him doesn’t deserve to be rich!”Adrian was frustrated by Joanna’s encounter, but the only thing he could do now was to ensure that Joanna would not be taken away by them. However, Patrick did

Patrick had traveled all night from Swallowston to Northrive but had yet to calm down.He stormed into the living room in a rage.“You’re home, Father.” Jimmy hastily walked over to welcome his father’s arrival.Jimmy’s mother, Rosie, quickly came out of the room too.Rosie Wade was forty years old this year and was ten years younger than Patrick. She had become his mistress when she was eighteen and became pregnant with Jimmy. She only married Patrick legally after Joanna’s mother passed away.Rosie said, “How’s everything, Pat? Did you manage to bring Joanna home?”“Hmph!” Patrick slammed the table loudly and grunted.“Jim, get your father a drink. Quickly now!” Rosie hastily said to Jimmy.Jimmy hurriedly got a glass of whisky. “Have a drink, Father!”Patrick threw his head back and downed the glass. He then angrily said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Joanna is dating someone in Swallowston, and that man is wildly conceited. He showed me no respect and hugged Joanna rig
