"What's your drama this time?" he demanded, his tone laced with irritation. Casually, he raised his hand, and in an instant, the bodyguards who had been gripping my arms released me, stepping back as if my presence had suddenly become inconsequential. The moment Jenna caught sight of him, she practically launched herself into his embrace, clinging to him like a drowning woman grasping for air.

"Honey, thank God you're here! This bitch bullied me and even hurt our son on purpose. I just wanted to teach her a lesson!" Her voice was a mixture of desperation and vindictiveness. Nearby, Leonard's ears perked up at the endearment she used, his brows knitting together in confusion. He rushed forward, bending slightly at the waist with a smile that was almost too eager. "Mr. Collins, right? What an honor it is to meet you! I'm Leonard Drake from BrightWave Tech. I've admired your achievements for years. I never imagined I would encounter you here.

This is truly a privilege." However, the man didn't even glance at the business card Leonard offered. Instead, his gaze landed squarely on me, a predatory glint in his eyes. "Do you know who I am?" I held his stare, unflinching. "What? Are you the Adrian Whitmore everyone's been gossiping about?" "Adrian Whitmore?" He erupted in laughter, a sound that was more mocking than joyful. "That pretentious waste? He's not even worthy of shining my shoes." "Let me make this clear. The Whitmore family will be mine, sooner or later," he declared, his confidence unshakeable.

Jenna, ever eager to align herself with power, chimed in immediately, "Honey is right. Adrian Whitmore isn't even worthy of carrying your bags. You're the true future master of the Whitmore family." Her words dripped with sycophancy, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes internally. I scrutinized the man before me, rifling through my memories, and I was certain I had never crossed paths with him. Yet, the way he spoke suggested an unsettling familiarity with the Whitmore family, as if he had been entwined in their affairs for ages.

When Leonard heard the man's blatant denial of being Adrian, his smile faltered, freezing into a mask of confusion. He instinctively took a step back, sensing the tension in the air. The man reveled in the flattery from Jenna, a twisted smile curling his lips as he advanced toward me. "Well, well. Look at that pretty face," he said, his tone dripping with condescension. I instinctively recoiled a step, narrowly avoiding his filthy hand. Jenna's eyes flared with jealousy, and she hissed, "Honey, this shameless bitch really doesn't know her place. We should teach her a lesson.

I'll have someone ruin her face right now." "What's the rush?" he replied, his gaze lecherous as it roamed over my body. He took his time, savoring the moment. "A face like that would be a waste to slash." "Here's the deal-you hurt my son and pissed off my wife. Pay three hundred grand, and we'll call it even," he stated matter-of-factly, as if he were discussing the weather. Three hundred thousand. The words hung in the air like a dark cloud. Both Leonard and Eric inhaled sharply, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief. This wasn't compensation; it was blatant extortion.

"What's wrong? Can't afford it?" he taunted, a lewd chuckle escaping his lips. "If you can't pay, I'll be generous and send you to a nice place to work it off." He leaned closer, his voice a sickening whisper. "With your looks, you'd be a top pick in an exclusive club. You'd make more in one night than you do in a month now." "Disgusting," I spat, the words escaping my lips like venom. "You must be tired of living," he roared, fury igniting in his eyes. In a swift motion, he grabbed a fistful of my hair, yanking me toward the window.

The world outside blurred as I was forced to look down, and a wave of vertigo crashed over me. My fear of heights erupted with full force, cold sweat trickling down my back as my legs turned to jelly and my stomach churned violently. "Still pretending to be pure? Weren't you just arrogant a moment ago?" He shoved me closer to the open edge, his breath hot against my skin. My breaths quickened, shallow and rapid, as a black haze crept into my vision. Just when I thought I might faint, the door burst open with a resounding crash.
