Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen.
Adrian arrived at the front desk.
“Mr. Pierce, you’re here.” The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back.
Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian.
“What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?” Nicholas asked in displeasure.
Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member.
If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already.
“You’re the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?” Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously.
“I’ve never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You’re quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name.” Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly.
“What are you here for?” Adrian asked with a smile. He did not bother to answer Crispin directly.
Crispin scoffed. He thought that Adrian was faking his calmness and that he had to be panicking internally.
“I don’t care if you’re a member of the Pierce family. I’m here today to talk to you about business,” Crispin said. “You’re in charge of this company, right? You can make the decisions.”
“I am only the general manager and handling the company’s matters for someone else,” Adrian said. “Decisions are made by our CEO.”
“Oh, you have a CEO?” Crispin was surprised by this. He had not heard anything about it.
“So, you’re just a pawn, then. I was wrong.”
Adrian’s gaze was icy. He was losing his patience and did not want to talk to Crispin any longer.
Back in Summerdale, anyone who dared to speak to him in this way would be flat on the ground already.
“Since you’re not in charge, I won’t waste my breath. Get your CEO to come down here to see me. I want to talk to him,” Crispin said casually.
Adrian felt very displeased at that.
“Our CEO is your—”
Before he could finish speaking, Adrian’s phone rang. He answered it.

Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
🤣 now this is better just because I took her virginity doesn't mean I'm responsible for her. Love it....
