The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 433

"Do about what?" Adrian asked.

Michelle kept her voice hushed.

"The Preston family is ruined. Your wedding with Audrey... Adrian, it's best if we cut all ties with the Prestons right now, or we'll get dragged down with them."

Adrian scoffed.

"And how exactly do we cut ties? Enlighten me."

Michelle thought about it for a long moment.

"Well, you two do have little Leo now... Since he has your blood, if we abandon the mother, keep the child at a time like this, people might talk."

Abandon the mother, keep the child?

Adrian genuinely admired his mother sometimes.

She was even more cold-blooded than he was.

She could flip a switch and turn on anyone without a second thought.

It was all about profit, void of any real emotion.

"Adrian..."

A hoarse, tearful voice interrupted their conversation.

Michelle immediately plastered on a fake smile.

"Audrey, honey, why aren't you resting?"

Audrey's eyes were swollen from crying.

"I heard Adrian come home, so I wanted to see him."

Michelle shot Adrian a meaningful look.

"I'll leave you two alone to talk."

Audrey stood rooted to the spot.

"Adrian..."

Her pathetic whimpering grated on his nerves, but he didn't lose his temper.

"Do you want to go back to sleep?"

Audrey gripped the hem of her shirt, looking utterly helpless and abandoned.

"Did you ask about my dad?"

Adrian replied smoothly. "I was told his case involves too many charges. No visitations are allowed right now."

Audrey's tears immediately spilled over.

"What are we going to do? Is he going to be okay?"

"Audrey," Adrian feigned a heavy sigh. "I'm afraid your father... might not make it out of this one."

Audrey stumbled back a few steps.

"Is there really no way to help him?"
