Chapter 1356
Aleigha only ate and drank every day. He felt sleepy all the time.
"Okay, just sleep. We won't disturb you."
Maurice wanted to sit for longer, but Adrian grasped his collar and dragged him out.
When they were out of room, Adrian let go.
"Adrian, you're the second person to grasp my collar like this."
"Really? Who was the first one?"
"It's my dad!"
It was a shameful thing for Maurice to be grasped collar. In his eyes, someone grasping his collar was equal to pointing at his nose and scolding him.
"I can't compare with your father. Call me uncle." Adrian said.
Even if Adrian was joking, Maurice was angry at his words and placed his hand on Adrian's shoulder.
"I don't think that's a joke."
Seeing he became serious, Adrian's gloomy face turned darker.
"What? Are you going to fight with me in my home? Don't you have anything to beg me?"
What a ridiculous man!
"Fine, I forgive your childish move." Maurice said.
Maurice released his shoulder, also suppressed his anger.
"Ha!"
With a sneer, Adrian turned around and walked down the stairs.
Because Aleigha was home, Adrian had quit drinking. He ignored Maurice and poured a glass of lemon water for him.
The lemonade's slight sourness stimulated and made him sober.
"Give Aubrianna to me."
Maurice was a little anxious. His bluish-gray stubble was conspicuous as he forgot to shave it because of recent busy days. "Why?"
Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His tone was indifferent.
"You've had enough fun. It's my turn. You're not the only one who has a grudge against her. Is this reason acceptable?"
"What's the benefit for me?"
"WTF"
Maurice was furious. He glared at Adrian's gloomy face, wanting to rush up and scratch it hard.
Why was this man so sarcastic?
"What do you want?"
Adrian didn't speak but put down the cup and took out his phone. His finger touched the screen back and forth.
After a while, he stopped.
"I'll give them to you. You, step out A City.
"What's the fu*king request? You want me to quit, so I quit? No way! If you don't hand Aubrianna over, I will turn this city upside down to get her." Adrian sneered and showed Maurice the screen of the phone.
"I will trade Aubrianna for all your business in A City and release your mother. This is your only chance."
On the screen, two middle-aged women sat together motionlessly. No spirits in their eyes.
"Adrian, what did you do to her?"
Maurice hadn't heard from his mother for a long time. He didn't expect that she looked like this when he saw her again.
"Do you agree or not?"
Maurice was a little afraid of Adrian's faint yet sinister smile.
After a long silence, Maurice slowly got up. "Let me think about it."
"HI give you six hours to consider. Six hours later, if you don't contact me, you will never see your mother again."
"Got it."
Maurice left with disappointment. He didn't even leave but stood outside Adrian's house for a long time.
As soon as he left, Aleigha woke up.
She recovered well and now she could get off the bed to walk. But in the visitor's eyes, she was still too injured to move. "What did you see?"
Standing on the second floor, Aleigha looked at Adrian in confusion.
Adrian turned to look at her and smiled. "I can't keep a wolf with me, can I?"
"What about Jaidyn?"
"He is a wolf with his fangs cut out."
Aleigha gave a smile to Adrian's metaphor.
6 hours wasn't long, especially for Maurice.
Retreating from A City was a great loss, while it was the only method helped Maurice to save his mother.
Even so, he was indeed reluctant.
Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and there were 20 minutes left for him to make the final decision.
Maurice smoked and made a phone call.
On the other side of the phone,
Adrian seemed to have expected his
answer "Tomorrow morning, come to my company to finish the formalities, and the people you want will appear."
"Adrian, I will remember you."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness, Mr. Maurice."
Hang up the phone, Maurice was even more angry. The flicking fire of his cigarette lit his handsome face up every now and then.
Early the next morning, Maurice arrived earlier than the appointed time.
He had quite a lot of business in A City, and all of them would be giving to Adrian under the name of a gift.
It took him only half an hour to sign the contract. When he just finished signing, his assistant called him.
Two ladies were all sent to the hotel.
Maurice retreated from A City quickly, and nobody knew the reason. Only Jaidyn felt that something was wrong.
He went to Adrian's company, but he was refused to enter. The same thing happened when he visited Adrian's home. Until he called Aleigha.
Adrian went on errands and wasn't home, only Aleigha was there. When Jaidyn arrived, Mill arrived at the same time. "Miss. Gardner, did you call Jaidyn here?"
Aleigha nodded. "Something must be solved, sooner or later. Adrian didn't want to see him, however, hiding won't help. Let me deal with it." "Okay, I'm just outside."
Mill went out and gently closed the door.
When Jaidyn walked up, he glanced at Mill with obvious hostility.
"Aleigha, why did Adrian hide from me?"
Asked Jaidyn.
Aleigha smiled. "Jaidyn, why are you so anxious? Shouldn't she accept punishment for making mistakes?"
"That's my mother."
Jaidyn lowered his voice.
"What about Maurice's mother? Your mother wanted me to die, that was her fault! Adrian didn't want to see you, not hiding from you."
Jaidyn took a deep breath and clenched his teeth, feeling a sense of shame that he had never felt before.
"What did Adrian do to Maurice? Did they reach some agreements?"
tell you about
"I'm sorrye This is Adrian's matter. If you
to figure it out, you can go
Maurice. Adrian will not set
How Jaidyn didn't know Adrian's resolution?
"I see. Take care. I'll go first."
After leaving Adrian's home, Jaidyn went to Maurice's manor immediately.
He was too late. When he arrived, Maurice had left already. After
sending people to inquit his
whereabouts, Jaidyn knew that he had returned to Fripdence.
For the first time, Jaidyn felt helpless. He went to the bar alone and drank a bottle of liquor, then went home by taking a taxi.
As soon as he entered the room, a phone call came in.
It was a woman, and her voice didn't sound old.
"Jaidyn, you can't win against Adrian. He exchanged your mother for all Maurice's business in A city.
Aubrianna is now in Maurice's hands. Adrian's next move would be driving you out of here.
You thought you were a friend of him, what a joke, what he planned to do was to swallow all you owned."
