Lahat ng Kabanata ng Four Daughters, One Outsider: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"You said you were just giving him a little scare?" I stared into my third adopted daughter, Vivian Whitmore's eyes, my voice unvarying.Vivian frowned. She stepped forward and spoke as though she had every right to. "Dad, you've spoiled Adrian Fuller since he was little. Facing some setbacks will be good for him. We're watching from the sidelines, so nothing bad will really happen."I looked at Adrian, who was huddled in the corner.Adrian was shaking all over, his nails digging into the cracks of the floor tiles. The collar of his school uniform was torn, and his strong shoulders were covered in glaring bruises.Even during the years when I was fighting tooth and nail just to survive, I never let Adrian suffer like this."Will nothing bad really happen?" I chuckled softly and walked toward Vivian. "When he really gets beaten to death, would that be considered an accident?"The eldest, Shania Whitmore, reached out to shield Vivian. She adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, her voice as

When I passed by Elliot, I stopped.Elliot subconsciously moved closer to Juliette's side, his eyes darting away.I looked at his handsome face and found it absurd. "Since you two are so fond of teaching people the rules..."I turned to Shania, my tone calm as if talking about the weather. "Come to the company office and hand over all the projects you're handling at 9am. Let's see how you manage without the Fullers."I ignored their grim expressions and led Adrian out of the bathroom.Nicole's disdainful voice was heard from the corridor behind us. "Shania, ignore him. He's just trying to scare us. In less than three days, he'll have to beg us to go back and handle the mess over there again."My leather shoes made a clear echo on the marble floor of the corridor.On the way home, Adrian huddled in the corner of his seat. He tightly grasped the edge of my coat, like an overly frightened bird. "Dad, I didn't bully him."Adrian's voice was barely more than a whisper. "Elliot was t

In less than five minutes, a dozen burly bodyguards dressed in black filed into the room. Without a word, they headed straight upstairs and began clearing out the room.Shania could no longer maintain her composed, gentle demeanor. She sprang to her feet and snapped, "I want to see who has the guts to touch anything!"The bodyguards did not even spare her a glance; they swiftly swept Juliette's watch box, Vivian's laptop bag, and Elliot's newly unwrapped streetwear items straight into trash bags.Shania stepped forward to intervene, but the lead bodyguard effortlessly brushed her aside with one hand, nearly causing her to fall.Juliette's face turned livid with rage as she pointed a finger right at my face. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to kick your own daughters out on the street just to indulge Adrian's spoiled-brat tantrums?""What 'daughter' are you?" I took the disinfecting wipe Alfred handed me and leisurely cleaned my fingers."Acknowledging you as my

When I received a call from Adrian's classmate, he was in great distress and sounded almost like he was crying. "Mr. Fuller, come quickly! Adrian was at the back entrance of the auditorium when Elliot deliberately bumped into him and tried to frame him for it. Now, Shania and the others have teamed up with the school's academic affairs office to hold a school-wide assembly and discipline Adrian!" The car ran through three red lights on the road.When I arrived at the auditorium, it was already packed with people.I walked to the back entrance and found that the passage had been blocked by several people wearing Fuller Group's security uniforms."Sir, Ms. Shania has instructed that no one can disturb the event today."The security team leader lowered his head, but his arm blocking my way did not come down.I sneered. Amazing, they used the Fullers' bodyguards to stop me, the head of the Fullers.I did not force my way in. Instead, I turned and walked toward the equipment room on

Jenny looked up, and that icy and intimidating face that had intimidated the business world now carried an overwhelming sense of awe. "Although you've retired for ten years, we old-timers have been waiting for your command every day."Annabelle stood up, took off her trench coat, and respectfully sat down on the chair next to me. "Boss, should we fight or clear the scene? Just one word from you and none of the people here will be able to leave today."Shania finally came to her senses. She pushed her glasses back up her nose, her voice trembling with utter shock. "Dad... What... What's going on? How could you know Ms. Quinton and the rest?"In Shania's perception, I was just a lucky rich guy who inherited the family fortune.She thought that a decade of stability for the Fullers was all thanks to them, the "business geniuses". She had no idea how I had set the rules for everyone on both sides of the law in this city ten years ago.I ignored Shania and walked straight to Adrian.A
