Chapter 744

Adrian, who had always been calm no matter what happened in front of him, panicked. when he saw

Rachel’s half-smile.

He pursed his lips and glanced at Jessica, who he had protected with his clothes. His words were filled

with flattery. “Rae-Rae, can I trouble you to leave for a while?”

“Alright.” Rachel nodded and took a deep look at Jessica, who was wrapped in his clothes. She stood

up and walked out of the office.

In the office, Jessica suddenly had the strength to push Adrian away. She threw his suit jacket on the

ground as if she was venting her anger. “Mr. Johnson, are you forcing me now?”

Perhaps it was because it was difficult to breathe under the suit jacket, or perhaps it was because of

other reasons, Jessica’s fair cheeks were dyed with an alluring blush. Her pair of amorous eyes were

curled into a perfect arc, and every frown and smile revealed an unknowing charm.

Even though she was furious, she looked even more lively and moving.

Adrian looked at her face and could not help but reach out to grab her chin. However, before his hand

could touch Jessica, she slapped it away mercilessly. Her red lips were like ice as she said coldly,

“Don’t touch me!”

These three words reminded Adrian of how after the event ended, she bent down and got into a man’s

car. The man hugged her, but Jessica did not resist. Instead, she was exceptionally compliant.

Now, he only wanted to touch her, but was rejected mercilessly.

The suppressed anger in his chest was instantly ignited. “If I can’t touch you, can those disgusting

perverts touch you? Jessica Tower, do you have any shame? You’re maintaining a relationship with

me, but you’re seeing someone else on the side. Why are you so cheap?” This was the first time

Adrian had been swayed by jealousy and anger, so much so that he did not realize how hurtful the

words were until they came out of his mouth.

The man’s tone was light, but every word was like a knife cutting into Jessica’s heart. Every breath she

took was heart-wrenching.

She clenched her fists and stared at Adrian.

Seeing her expression, Adrian felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle.

His lips quivered, and he subconsciously wanted to explain.

Suddenly, Jessica chuckled and raised her hand to wipe away the saliva on her lips. She said

unhurriedly, “That’s right. I’m just that cheap. It’s a pity that you’ve just seen my true colors.”

After saying that, Jessica pushed Adrian away forcefully. She bent down to pick up her bag and turned

to leave without looking back.

Watching her leave, Adrian subconsciously chased after her. However, when he thought of the scene

of Jessica hugging other men, he forcefully suppressed the thought of chasing

after her.

Men should not compromise too much with women.

Every time he gave in, she would push her luck. This time, he had to make her lower her head and

admit her mistake!

Thinking of this, Adrian snorted angrily, pulled the chair over, and sat down.

Outside the office, Rachel had her back to the office and was looking out the window at the

street.

When she heard the door open behind her, she turned around lazily. When she saw Jessica’s swollen

lips, she frowned imperceptibly.

Her uncle did not know how to be gentle with women.

“I still have something to do. I’ll leave first,” Jessica said and left without looking back. Seeing her

leave, Rachel glanced at the office again and caught Adrian cavesdropping at the door. Rachel’s frown

deepened. She did not understand what was going on with these two. She started to wonder if Adrian

tried to force himself on Jessica.

Thinking of this, Rachel’s face became more serious. She took a deep breath and walked into the office

with a straight face.

As soon as Rachel entered the office, she questioned bluntly, “When did Mr. Johnson, who is known as

the perfect gentleman, learn to force himself on others?”

Adrian was originally drinking a cup of coffee. When he heard this, he almost spat out the coffee in his

mouth.

Although he quickly swallowed it, he choked and coughed.

The coffee in the cup splashed on his suit.

He quickly put down the cup in his hand and wiped the coffee stains on his suit. He adjusted his

breathing and said, “Young lady, how can you speak so rudely?”

“Mr. Johnson can force a little girl, but he won’t allow anyone to criticize him?” Rachel leaned lazily on

the sofa with her arms crossed. She glanced at Adrian with a faint smile.

Her

gaze seemed to be saying, “You dared to touch my folks. You should have thought that this day would

come!”

Adrian knew that Rachel had misunderstood, so he simply revealed his plan. “If nothing goes wrong,

she’ll become your aunt.”

Rachel had never thought that her bestie would suddenly become her aunt.

She found it hard to accept.

However, Rachel was glad that Adrian was going to take responsibility and marry Jessica, which meant

he was not too bad after all.

But, something still worried her.

“If nothing goes wrong?” Rachel repeated these words meaningfully. She raised her eyebrows slightly

and the corners of her mouth curled into an intriguing smile. “What if something did go wrong?”

Hearing this, Adrian stopped wiping his clothes and fell into a short silence.

He had never thought that something would go wrong.

From the moment he fell in love, he decided to marry Jessica.

If something indeed went wrong, he thought that thing must be that he was going to die.

He raised his eyelids and stared deeply at Rachel for a moment. His thin lips parted slightly. “Nothing

will go wrong.”

It was a short sentence, just a few words, but the words revealed his determination.

Adrian pondered for a moment and threw the tissue from his hand into the trash can. He picked up the

cup again. “Why did you suddenly come back from Aureliana?”

“I didn’t plan to stay there from the start,” Rachel said calmly. “I came here to ask you something.”

Before she could finish speaking, a look of understanding flashed across Adrian’s eyes. “You want to

ask about Olivia Cruise?”

Rachel nodded.

“I know you’re not that nice.” Adrian sneered. He opened a drawer and took out a file. It was obvious

that he was prepared.

He handed it to Rachel. “Take a look at this.”

When Rachel reached out to take it, Adrian was not in a hurry to let go. Instead, he gripped the file

tightly. “I’ve helped you so many times. Shouldn’t you help me in return?”

“Adrian, aren’t we families? You’re talking like it’s a trade!” Rachel smiled innocently. “Blood is thicker

than water. You should never ask something of your family when you help them, shouldn’t you?”

Adrian put on a fake smile. “Blood is thicker than water. So I guess you must be willing to help me in

case I end up as a lonely old man, right?”

“Adrian, have you ever heard of a saying?” Rachel said as she pried Adrian’s fingers apart forcefully.

“Sisters before misters, so there’s no way I’ll betray my bestie for you!”
