Knock! Knock!Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and a voice said, "Arlo, open the door."Ophelia turned around and mumbled, "It's not a special day today. Why is she back?"Adrian's intuition was telling him that something bad was about to happen. He quickly stood up, and said, "We've already had our fill. Since your sister is back, we should get going.""Don't go!" Arlor grabbed Adrian's hand. Now was the perfect opportunity to show off, and he certainly would not let it slip by him. "Stay and meet my sister first."Marrisa nodded. "Let's say hello before leaving, Adrian. It won't take long." Rozi looked at Adrian and asked, "Is that okay?""Sure," Adrian said, "Anything you say."Just when Arlo stood up and was about to head outside, a woman rushed in. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were wrinkled, and her face was covered in tears. When she saw Arlo, she shouted in grievance, "Arlo, I want to divorce Big Mike! That jerk went too far this time!" Arlo wa
When Isabelle saw that Marissa had overpowered her husband, she stopped crying and rushed forward to grab Marissa's hand. "Let go of him!" she shouted, Marissa found Isabelle's behavior perplexing. Isabelle had just stated her desire for a divorce from Big Mike, but now she was begging Marissa to release him. She wondered if they were just putting on an act."Why are you begging on his behalf?" Marrisa asked."Just let him go," Adrian said as he patted Marissa's shoulder. "They're a married couple having a spat. No need to take it seriously. We're just guests, so there's no need for us to get too worked up."Marrisa sighed and let go of Big Mike, who then swiftly kicked Isabelle. She flew backward and collided with various objects before hitting the wall."Mike! Why did you do that?!" Arlo shouted angrily. He pointed at Isabelle, who was writhing in pain on the ground, and said, "She's your wife!""She’s no wife of mine!" Mike spat on the ground. "She has failed to give me a son
Mike was taken aback. He took a few steps back as he stared at Adrian. He was intimidated, but he refused to back down. Maintaining his pretense of arrogance, he snarled, "How dare you threaten me." "Listen up, you scoundrel." Adrian pulled Rozi and Marissa behind him. "You're a disgrace. Didn't your mother teach you to respect women? The way you treat your wife is so cowardly!”Arlo grabbed Adrian and said, "Mike makes excellent pies. Even the Debonaire Syndicate leader enjoys them, so they’re very well acquainted. You shouldn't mess with Mike.""Are you serious?" Adrian pushed Arlo away. "He's taking away your house, and you're not going to do anything about it? No wonder Sylvas dares to bully you."Adrian's words hit Arlo hard. He turned to look at Isabelle, then decided not to endure such humiliation anymore."Big Mike, if I tell Mr. Leeroy that you already have a wife and that you’re cheating on his daughter, what do you think the consequences will be?" Arlo said angrily."
Seeing Adrian’s stern expression, Mike fought through his pain and said, "I swear to God I'll treat Isa well from now on. She's the only one willing to be with me, and I promise I won't betray her!"Rozi commented to Isabelle, "Mike’s jewels are useless now, and he cheated on you too. I think you should leave him.""But what about my children?" Isabelle asked, "They need me."Arlo stamped his feet and said, "Leave this jerk and bring your kids back here. I'll help you raise them!”Mike's face paled. He could not father any more children, so he had to keep his daughters. He grabbed Adrian and said, "Please, I beg you! Please don't take my wife and daughters away from me!" "Don't touch me," Adrian said as he flung Mike away.Mike trembled in pain and let go of Adrian’s arm.Adrian glanced at Rozi and Marrisa. "Our job is done here. It's time to leave."Ophelia warmly saw them off. If it were not for Adrian's help, they would surely have become homeless. "My maiden family lives n
Adrian laughed out loud. He had not expected Kyril to come and attempt to kill them with an outdated weapon like a musket. They were even slower than his sword. "Kyril, you're digging your grave," Adrian said coldly, "Send my regards when you meet the underworld king later." Rozi chuckled. She pulled out a golden pistol that she had brought from her world as a memento.Click!She cocked the pistol, aimed at one of the musketeers’ heads, and pulled the trigger. The bullet went clean through the musketeer's forehead. He swayed for a moment before collapsing on the ground.The other musketeers were stunned. Their hands trembled, and they could barely hold their muskets straight. Adrian seized that moment to leap up and kick their muskets out of their hands. After losing their weapons, the musketeers panicked and fled. Kyril was dumbfounded. He had not expected the tables to turn so quickly. All of his men ran helter-skelter. Not even a single one stayed by his side.Marissa walk
"That’s none of your business!" Lionel shouted as he jumped up from his seat.He wondered what was taking Adrian and the others so long. "I'm going out for some fresh air," he said. Claude was in a difficult position. Both of these people were his masters, so he hoped that they could get along peacefully. However, Lionel had a peculiar temper."Mr. Lionel!"When Claude came out, Lionel was taking a stroll in the courtyard. He breathed in the aroma of the herbs and felt rejuvenated."It smells good!" Lionel said.Just then, an elderly woman came over. She glanced at Lionel disdainfully and commented, "Oh my, the stench from this beggar is unbearable." Suddenly, an idea popped into Claude's mind. The elderly woman was named May and had always been responsible for taking care of him. She had recently been complaining of feeling unwell, but he could not figure out what was wrong with her."Mr. Lionel, will you please help me treat May?”"No," Lionel said. He could sense the co
May's face paled with fear. She picked up the teapot and turned to leave."May, stop taking food back to your room all the time," Axel said.Claude was puzzled and asked, "May, didn't you say you have no relatives? Is it someone from your hometown?""Don't listen to his nonsense," May forced out a smile and said, "The beef is all for you. I don't take any of it.""Really? When Claude isn't around, you make the same simple dishes every day. But when there's beef, you secretly take it back to your room," Axel said exasperatingly. Sensing the tension between Axel and May, Claude interrupted, "Let's make a beef stew! We have important guests on the way, and please cook up some other tasty dishes, May. Let's have a party tonight!"Axel harrumphed coldly and turned away. When he saw Lionel, his face sank again, and he asked, "So, do you have any thoughts on this?""She's pregnant," Lionel said nonchalantly, "She looks to be about four months along, and her belly is beginning to show.
Claude slapped his forehead. It had been six or seven hours since they got here, yet Adrian still had yet to arrive. He figured that he should wait for them at the gate and said, "I'll go check."May was afraid of Axel. She was worried that he might harm her after Claude left. "Mr. Claude, I've always been loyal to you. This is all my fault. Please don't kill me."Claude was in a dilemma. Agreeing to May would ruin his reputation and put Medicis Manor, and possibly his life, at risk. "I need to think about it,” he replied."You're the only family I have, sir. If you don't care for me, I'll have nowhere to go." May clung to Claude's legs, crying loudly.Just then, Adrian and his companions entered Medicis Manor, hearing the wailing from afar. They quickened their pace, thinking that something serious had happened. There was no one at the entrance as they had rushed over to see what was going on."Could it be Joe?""It's definitely him!""He's the only one who's still single in Me
