Adrian Grant gripped Raina Lowell’s frail shoulders with his hands, towering over her in a suit, exuding an overwhelming presence. "Did I have a child out of wedlock like you and hide it from everyone? Have I been selfish enough like you to leave the child’s father and cause my grandfather’s death?" "Listen up, Raina Lowell, as long as we are not divorced, don’t even think about interacting with any other men, or else you’ll never see your daughter again in this lifetime." Damn woman, where do all these suitors come from? One leaves, another comes. The original plan was to bring her along to make Isabelle Everett give up. Who would’ve thought she’d reunite with some other man. Adrian felt the sour taste rising in his chest. Raina Lowell, filled with anger, retorted through clenched teeth: "Then let’s get divorced quickly! Once we’re divorced, you and Isabelle Everett can be together openly." Always using her daughter to threaten her. What else can he do other than bully a helpless woman? Rotten man, don’t give her the chance to leave. If she goes, she’ll never return to his side in this lifetime. "You want to leave and find the children’s father, running off with some wild man, right?" Adrian raised his hand to grasp her neck, his face menacing. "Let me tell you, Raina Lowell, the more you want to leave with the children’s father, the less I’ll grant your wish." "I refuse to divorce you." If they divorce, she’ll take the children to find the children’s father, living a happy life as a family. There’s no such good fortune in this world. He endures a miserable life alone, she won’t move a step away from him. Even if they torture each other to death, he won’t let her leave a single step. "Adrian Grant, you bastard." Raina Lowell, in a fit of rage, had eyes red from grievance. "You don’t even like me, why keep clinging to me? Bullying a woman ten years younger than you, is that fulfilling?" He refuses to divorce yet entangles with Isabelle Everett. What does he think she is, something cheap to trample on? Raina Lowell felt not only anger but also sharp pain in her bleeding heart. Adrian Grant couldn’t bear this sad little woman’s pitiful crying look. Whenever she cried, he didn’t know how to treat her. His heart suddenly softened. He let her go, turning into the room. Originally wanting to leave Raina Lowell standing outside, refusing to let her in. But he inexplicably worried she’d truly go out on a date with the Jennings family’s second son. Adrian Grant already inside the room, turned back and pulled Raina Lowell inside. He sternly warned, "If you dare to meet someone else secretly, I’ll break your leg." Raina Lowell defiantly retorted with gritted teeth: "If you keep hugging and cuddling Isabelle Everett, I’ll find another man; whatever you do to me, I’ll do the same, who’s afraid?" She’s risking it all, come what may. Worst case, she dies together with this dog of a man. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fire.net Adrian Grant was about to explode again, seeing the little woman angrily glaring, puffing up in defiance, and he hesitated. In the end, unable to say anything harsh, he sat on the sofa and coldly ordered, "What are you standing there for? Go run me a bath." Raina Lowell wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hand and unwillingly went to the bathroom. As soon as she left, the suite’s door sounded again. Adrian Grant thought it was the Jennings family’s second son, pulling open the door angrily saying: "Mr. Jennings, my wife is unavailable." However, as soon as the words dropped, Adrian Grant saw it was not Mr. Jennings but Isabelle Everett. She was dressed coolly, eyes red and weeping pitifully: "Adrian, I fought with my brother, I’m so upset. Can I stay with you for a while?" Adrian Grant instinctively glanced towards the bathroom. Recalling, a moment ago, that little woman said if he stayed with Isabelle Everett, she’d find another man. Adrian Grant immediately refused: "Why don’t you get your own..." "Adrian, don’t drive me away. Right now, I have nothing but you." Before Adrian Grant could finish, Isabelle Everett directly clung to him, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist. "Adrian, even my brother doesn’t want me now. I have no safe haven in the Everett Family; what should I do." Her crying was pitiful, her voice coaxing, making it hard to refuse. Adrian Grant raised his hand in the air, wanting to push her away but afraid of hurting her feelings. In his hesitation, Raina Lowell came out of the bathroom after arranging the bath. Seeing the pair embracing at the door, she thought she didn’t care. But her heart still ached. To give them space, Raina Lowell could only pretend to be magnanimous, walking over to tell Adrian Grant. "Why don’t you two go inside the room to hug? Being seen at the door, what does it look like? I’m leaving, won’t bother you." She passed them and out the door. Who could have known Adrian Grant would suddenly push Isabelle Everett away and hold Raina Lowell’s hand. "I told you, you can’t go." How could he not know this stubborn woman was going to find Mr. Jennings? If he knew she had a close relationship here, he wouldn’t have brought her over. Before Raina Lowell could speak, Isabelle Everett came close again, clinging to Adrian Grant’s arm, crying even more sadly. "Adrian, I truly don’t know what to do. Don’t abandon me, please don’t." Adrian Grant hesitated for a moment, feeling quite sorry for Isabelle Everett. After all, she, like Raina, was an orphan. He opened his mouth to comfort her, but Raina suddenly released his hand, coldly leaving a remark: "Adrian Grant, accompany your beloved ’white moonlight,’ I’ll make room for you." She left, without looking back. Adrian Grant wanted to stop her, but Isabelle Everett held onto him crying, "Adrian, stay with me, I’m really upset." Adrian Grant had no choice but to watch Raina Lowell leave. Wishing to explode, but it’s inappropriate to lash out at the nearby Isabelle Everett. Ultimately, he had to stay with Isabelle Everett for comfort. Raina Lowell did not go to find Mr. Jennings; she returned to a place she used to stay. She saw some old neighbors and friends she knew from that area. Friends invited her to stay overnight, so she didn’t return to the hotel. But in the middle of the night, Adrian Grant’s call came through. He sounded like he’d taken the wrong medicine, yelling angrily: "Raina Lowell, where are you? Come back to me." Raina Lowell, enjoying rare time with friends, drank a bit too much. Even though she’s allergic to alcohol. But she couldn’t help wanting to numb herself with booze. Hearing Adrian Grant’s voice, slightly tipsy, she sneered: "What do you care? Go and love your white moonlight. Dog of a man, I’ll never love you again." She hung up the call. Angry, Adrian Grant left Isabelle Everett and hurried out to find her. He wouldn’t admit it, that he worried about her, and went to fetch her. He just feared that woman would escape since she hadn’t yet atoned for her grandfather. Using phone tracking, Adrian Grant quickly found Raina Lowell’s location. Inside a residents’ building. The room was full of foreign women, no men. After explaining his relationship with Raina Lowell, Adrian Grant successfully took her away. Raina Lowell, drunk and barely coherent, struggled discomforting in the passenger seat, strapped in. Unable to escape her bindings, she turned and opened her eyes to see Adrian Grant’s sharply defined profile. Unsure if it was him, Raina Lowell rubbed her eyes to see clearly, then couldn’t help but curse: "Old fool, done with Isabelle Everett so quickly? Age catching up, can’t stand the rigors, haha..."
