Chapter 793 She Is a Disgrace
Jensen lowered his eyes and smiled. “You are really quite ruthless, even toward the daughter of your former lover.”
Adrien took a drag and narrowed his eyes. “Because she is a disgrace. She shouldn’t have even existed.”
“She and I are a disgrace in your eyes. What about Peter?”
“Peter?” Adrien stared at him with cold eyes, his tone callous. “You are not in any way comparable to Peter.”
“Heh!” Jensen scoffed and took a drag on his cigarette, the hazy smoke obscuring all the emotions in his eyes.
Adrien grunted, somehow irritated. “Don’t worry. You will get your effort’s worth in time. When that woman breaks up with Gilbert, she will be yours eventually.”
“You will never understand what I really want,” Jensen said faintly without looking up.
Adrien looked at him quietly and indifferently. A while later, he puffed out a ring of smoke. “Not that I don’t know what you want. You are just like your mother–the things you want are never practical.‘
“Is that so?” Jensen chuckled slyly.
Adrien finally got annoyed and asked in a frosty voice, Have you told that woman about the warden?” Jensen did not answer, and his impassive eyes only stared at the remaining red wine in the goblet. Adrien frowned and narrowed his eyes. “Don’t you forget I raised the boy, Blake. If I can let him grow up, I can also end his life anytime. And don’t think I don’t know about your relationship with Mia.”
“Yeah, since their lives and deaths are in your hands, are you still afraid I will defy you?” Jensen looked up at him abruptly, his profound eyes showing little emotion.
Adrien smoked his cigarette and smiled absently. “In fact, I didn’t have to ask you to convey the warden’s information to Kisa. Only that you are the person she trusts most, and the only way she suspects nothing is if the information comes from you.”
Jensen smiled self–deprecatingly as he found what Adrien said was the biggest irony.
