Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1314

Joshua shot Adrian a cold glare and said, “You have to come with me right now.“

Adrian furrowed his brows upon hearing this. “

Where to?“

“Where else?“ Joshua curled his lips into a sneer. “ Granny has refused to take the antidote, and her condition is deteriorating. Your sister died many years ago, and you’re her only son now. Do you need me to teach you what you should be doing?“

Adrian froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that Joshua wanted him to pay his respects to Granny Lynch before she passed. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Joshua, I understand what you’re trying to say, and it’s not like I’m refusing to pay my respects to Mother.“

With that, he turned, plopped down on the sofa next to him, and gazed at Joshua with a triumphant look. “ But you must have something to offer me in return for helping you, don’t you?“

Joshua stared at him. “Are you asking something in return for paying respects to your own mother?“

“Of course.“ Adrian crossed his legs and said gleefully, “After all, it’s bad luck to stay by a dying person’s bedside. Am I asking too much to get something in return for this?“

Joshua continued to stare at him coldly but did not say a word.

“Actually, my requests are simple.“ Adrian let out a yawn. “The first is to release Celia immediately and let her take care of Michael. You know how Michael is doing now—he can’t survive without her.

“My second request is this.“ He curled his lips into a sneer and continued, “I remember that when you were seventeen, my mother left the Lynch family’s assets to you, but she still kept something to herself; the factories located in the south of the city. Even though they bring in only a few million dollars of revenue, it’s more than enough for me and Michael to live off of.“

Adrian narrowed his eyes. “I want ownership of these factories to be transferred to my name after she dies.“

Joshua’s expression darkened when he heard this.

Joshua had been a businessman for many years, so he had encountered all sorts of people with strange and outrageous requests. However, this was the first time he had ever come across someone as shameless and selfish as Adrian, a man who would use paying his own mother respects as leverage for monetary gain.
