Adrian Grant naturally minded Raina Lowell’s two children. Initially, he thought it would be best if the children were with Damien Sinclair, but who knew that woman, to be by their side, would confess to Grandpa, infuriating him to death. If he hadn’t found Aurora, Raina Lowell wouldn’t have stayed. Adrian Grant constantly reminded himself that he kept Raina Lowell around only to avenge her for angering Grandpa to death. It was merely to make her pay the price. Watching Raina Lowell sit alone in the corner, he ignored her, telling Ethan Everett: "She was raised by The Grant Family and should work like a horse for us." Ethan Everett just chuckled. Did he really just want Raina Lowell to work like a horse for The Grant Family? He actually wanted them to be forever locked together, never to part in this life. That way, Isabelle wouldn’t always be pining for Adrian Grant. Isabelle Everett asked the flight attendant for coffee, brought it over, and placed it in front of the two men, sitting down with a smile. "Brother, Adrian, I hope I’m not disturbing you!" The two men said nothing and let her sit. Leaving Raina Lowell alone nearby was quite freeing. She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and calmed her mind, out of sight and out of mind. She prayed her daughter would soon safely return to her. As long as her daughter comes back, she would take her two children and leave. Away from Adrian Grant, never to see him again. Raina Lowell hadn’t expected that their business trip destination would be Yarrow. The place where she had studied four years ago. The same place where she gave birth to Aurora and Evelyn and lived with them for two years. As she followed Adrian Grant and the Everett siblings off the plane, the familiar surroundings made Raina Lowell feel a deep sense of nostalgia. Especially in those three years, everything that happened here felt like it happened just yesterday. She wondered if she hadn’t taken Aurora and Evelyn back home, perhaps everything would remain unchanged. She would prefer to be like before, unmarried to Adrian Grant, forgotten by The Grant Family. Staying in Yarrow, working hard, raising her Aurora and Evelyn. But things didn’t go according to her wishes. She still ended up marrying Adrian Grant, her grandfather passed away, Aurora was seriously injured. Knowing that by now, she couldn’t change anything, she could only brace herself to face it. Raina Lowell adjusted her state, dragging her luggage, following behind Adrian Grant. Isabelle Everett unknowingly approached her, speaking harshly in her ear. "I will make you regret coming along." Raina Lowell glanced at her coldly, "What, was the earlier slap not hard enough?" Isabelle Everett, furious, glared at her with hatred, deliberately moved forward to cling to Adrian Grant’s arm. Raina Lowell acted as if she couldn’t see. Even if they went to bed together, she wouldn’t care. A man that rotten, whoever wants him can take him. She wasn’t interested. Nobody noticed that Ethan Everett’s expression was very unpleasant. Especially seeing Isabelle once again clinging to Adrian Grant, ignoring the fact that Adrian had a wife. Anyone who didn’t know better might think they were the couple. The four of them walked out of the airport. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel{f}ire.net Someone had already prepared to come receive them. The man was also in a suit, young, handsome, and extraordinarily charismatic. Accompanied by bodyguards and a driver, his power and status were obviously significant. But upon seeing the man’s face clearly, Raina Lowell hesitated and didn’t immediately walk over. The man, however, approached Adrian Grant and the others, proactively shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. After greeting them all, the man looked past Adrian Grant, focusing on Raina Lowell, smiling lightly. Yet, he didn’t greet Raina Lowell openly but warmly invited Adrian Grant and the others into the car. Coincidentally, the Everett siblings shared one vehicle. Raina Lowell shared another with Adrian Grant and the second young master of the Jennings Group, Alaric Jennings. Alaric Jennings sat in the front passenger seat, glanced back at Raina Lowell, yet still didn’t speak to her, continuing to exchange pleasantries with Adrian Grant. "President Grant, I hope this trip will satisfy you. Whether or not we end up cooperating, let’s just see it as making friends." After Alaric Jennings finished speaking, he then openly looked at Raina Lowell, asking: "Is this President Grant’s secretary? Won’t you introduce yourself?" Adrian Grant cast a glance at Raina Lowell, casually replied, "No need to mind her." "How could I not? Guests are guests, and you are all my honored guests." Alaric Jennings actively reached out his hand, smiling at Raina Lowell, "Hello, I’m Alaric Jennings, the second son of the Jennings family." Raina Lowell felt somewhat guilty. Of course, she knew he was the second son of the Jennings family. Wealthy, attractive, humorous, courteous. He was someone she knew during her studies here, an upperclassman. He even pursued her for three years. If she hadn’t returned home, perhaps he wouldn’t have given up. She didn’t expect Adrian Grant to take her on a business trip that happened to involve negotiations with the Jennings family. Such a coincidence, should she confess to Adrian? Fearful that if she kept it a secret, Adrian would find out one day and hurt her daughter again. Raina Lowell decided to confess, "Hello, senior, we meet again." However, her proactive admission left both men stunned. Especially Adrian Grant, staring at Raina Lowell with suspicion, questioning how she could know the second son of the Jennings family. Raina Lowell understood his thoughts and honestly explained: "I studied here before, and he was a prominent figure at our school." Hearing this, Alaric Jennings laughed heartily. "You little girl, I thought you were planning to pretend you didn’t know me. Seems like destiny brought us back together just a year after parting." Raina Lowell smiled faintly, remaining silent. She noticed Adrian Grant’s expression had turned very unpleasant, like a volcano about to erupt. Afraid he would lose his temper and take it out on her daughter, she silently signaled Alaric Jennings not to engage her further. Alaric Jennings seemed to notice the cue and could only continue conversing with Adrian Grant. Arriving at the hotel, as they were led to the presidential suite, Alaric Jennings leaned close to Raina Lowell, leaving her with a parting comment: "I’ll be waiting for you at the usual place." But Adrian Grant heard this exchange. After Alaric Jennings left, and the Everett siblings went to another room, Adrian Grant violently pulled Raina Lowell, forcefully pressing her against the wall, his eyes burning with rage. "Raina Lowell, will you die without a man around you? Do you enjoy seducing men that much?" He believed he had enough self-control and, being older, could tolerate and accommodate his young wife. But sometimes, he truly couldn’t stand her actions. Even managing to snag the second son of the Jennings family and the young master of The Shadow Clan’s Sinclair family, who knew what else she’s done behind his back. Adrian Grant was so furious that his chest felt like it was about to explode. Raina Lowell was restrained by him, unable to move. Thinking of how he and Isabelle Everett had been so intimate all the way here. She refused to back down, confronting Adrian Grant. "You’re allowed to have another woman by your side, but I can’t know a few men? Adrian Grant, don’t be such a hypocrite."
