All Chapters of You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Adrian's gaze darkened the moment Joanne finished speaking.It was Hector's doing?Joanne was relieved to see that he hadn't said anything. She even felt a bit smug. It was just as she'd anticipated. Since she had Hector backing her up, no matter how Adrian felt about this matter, he couldn't possibly chase her off, right?However, at the very next second, Adrian's voice briskly rang out, dashing all of her deluded hopes."Hawke Group isn't some training ground for you to gain work experience," he said without even bothering to look at her. "You can go now."Joanne was shocked. "Adrian, you—"Adrian didn't want to say anything else to her. He tapped his knuckles on the desk and said, "Mark."Mark immediately caught on. He gestured for Joanne to leave the office, saying, "Please leave, Ms. Cox."Joanne desperately wanted to stay, but she didn't dare to do that. She knew without a doubt that if she tried to overstay her welcome, Adrian wouldn't hesitate to have someone throw her

Stephanie continued reading the message."You think you and Adrian have a good relationship. But in reality, he didn't even tell you that his maternal grandfather is trying to set him up with other women. Well, I guess it's normal for men's eyes to wander. You know that better than anyone, don't you?"She read it all with an impassive expression. Her fingers trembled as she tapped on her phone, but she didn't respond to the sender. She simply blocked the number.Images of Tyler and Kiara standing together suddenly flashed through her mind. Did all men's eyes eventually wander?No.Stephanie's eyes slowly opened.She believed Adrian was not that kind of man. She wouldn't let a text from a stranger make her doubt him. Regardless of the situation, she needed to ask Adrian about it herself."Steph, what's wrong?" Bernadette hurriedly asked after sensing that something was up.Stephanie snapped back to reality and smiled. "Nothing, it's just work. Don't worry about it."After break

"I received a message from an anonymous number," Owen said, holding up his phone. "I also heard that Hector tried to set up Adrian with another woman. He even got that woman a job at Hawke Group. The nerve of him!""Calm down, Dad…" Stephanie urged."It's not as if the Ford family is dying to form a marriage alliance with the Hawke family. I won't let my daughter suffer such grievances!" Owen's eyes darkened with anger.Back then, he hadn't been able to force Stephanie not to stay in Hydroton for Tyler. She ended up suffering so much because of that. It was the one thing he regretted most in his life.Every night, he tossed and turned, wishing he could turn back time. Even if Stephanie hated him, he would have forced her to break things off with Tyler.This time around, he wasn't going to let Stephanie suffer anymore."It seems it was Mr. Sutton Senior who had those messages sent to you," Stephanie said with a wry smile. "You'll only be playing right into his hands if you get ups

After a while, Sherry Moore, Stephanie's secretary, came in and studied Stephanie's expression carefully before asking, "Are you alright, Ms. Ford?"She had noticed the less-than-pleasant look on Adrian's face when he left. Seeing Stephanie like this now, she couldn't help but guess that the couple might have had an argument.Stephanie slowly calmed down, but her gaze remained dim. "I'm fine."She finished signing the remaining documents and handed them to Sherry. She proceeded to give Sherry some detailed instructions regarding work, her thoughts so clear and organized that Sherry could only nod in total agreement.Sherry figured she must've been overthinking things, for Stephanie seemed perfectly normal. But then, she noticed that Stephanie's fingers were trembling slightly."Tell them that the plan is quite well-written. It'll be good to go once they make the changes for those minor issues," Stephanie said before looking up, only to see the hesitant look on Sherry's face."Are

If Stephanie could suspect that Adrian might have something going on with another woman, did that not mean she thought he was no different from a guy like Tyler?Adrian's heart stung at that. Even the most rational man in the world would feel hurt and upset sometimes, and he genuinely loved Stephanie with all his heart."Adrian? Seeing the look on your face now, I guess you're really upset, huh?" Pierce shook his head helplessly. "Why put yourself through this? You love Stephanie, so what's the harm in apologizing first? I bet she doesn't feel happy right now either."Adrian's fingers clenched instinctively.The atmosphere was still rather rowdy thanks to all the people around him. He had called them over to distract himself, but now, their chatter only made him more frustrated. Rubbing his forehead, he got up and said, "You guys have fun. I'm leaving first.""Okay," Pierce said without any further comment. Though he was Adrian's close friend, matters of the heart were best left t
