Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 I Am Willing 

Joseph’s temples throbbed as he exclaimed, “What kind of joke is this?”

Adrian’s tone was particularly serious and sincere, “I’m not joking with you. I’ve taken a liking to Deborah, and when it comes to things I like, I never let go easily.

You and her are both single, and I’m pursuing her. It’s fair for me to compete with you, right? There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?”

Moreover, he believed that he was no worse than Joseph.

Although he was a bit of a flirt in the past, he never messed around.

When it comes to rumors about him and those women, they are spread far and wide, creating quite a spectacle. However, in reality, aside from acting, he has never even casually held hands with someone of the opposite sex.

It’s not that he’s overly conservative or strictly adheres to principles.

The entertainment industry is chaotic and the waters run deep. As for those little models and minor celebrities who eagerly cling to him, who knows if they’re clean or not..

In the unlikely event that he caught the disease, the elders of the Moxley family would surely strip him of his skin and throw him out

directly.

Deborah is different. Even the most beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry can’t compare to her.

Every time Adrian thought of Deborah, his heart would start pounding uncontrollably.

Joseph finally realized that something was off, “Mr. Moxley, are you planning to pursue Deborah? Does she know about this? Have you talked to her about it?”

Adrian spoke candidly. “Of course she knows. Since I like her, I told her. She doesn’t know me very well yet, but she hasn’t been too resistant either. I believe that given time, she will soon discover my good qualities.”

In Adrian’s view, Deborah bluntly said she had no feelings for him, and she still avoided him like the plague after dinner and immediately

went out with Alyssa.

But Deborah didn’t scold him or yell at him, nor did she splash a cup of water on his face, which meant she wasn’t too resistant towards

him.

Joseph couldn’t hold back any longer and slammed his briefcase down on the cabinet in the foyer with a loud thudding sound.

“I’ve been with Deborah for three years now, and the media has been buzzing about it. How could you not know? Why would you want to

come between us?”

Adrian didn’t hold back either, “You know, you and Deborah have been together for three years. Maybe she’s been tired of you for a while now. As for Alyssa, she’s like my own daughter now, just hoping that I could be her real father…”

Outside, Morton had already driven over, waiting to pick up Joseph and take him to the company.

After waiting for Joseph for quite a while, Morton came in from outside.

The front door opened, and Joseph stood inside, his face pale as if a storm was brewing.

Morton was taken aback, wondering what had happened. Wasn’t everything fine just yesterday afternoon?

Before Adrian could finish speaking, Joseph angrily ordered Morton, “Book a flight back to Richmond. No, arrange a private jet. We’re leaving now.”

Morton shuddered at the shout, his mind momentarily scrambled. “Huh? This… alright.”

Morton turned around and left, following Joseph’s instructions for the arrangements.

Adrian was firm in his decision. “There’s no point in you coming back, Deborah spent the night at my place last night. She agreed to stay

here for a few days, after all, Alyssa has gotten used to being with me. You can’t force her to leave and make things difficult for her, can

you?”

Joseph said. “Wait for me there, and we’ll meet up for a proper talk.”

Adrian really wasn’t afraid of him. Now that Richmond was so far away from Oceanview City, it wasn’t like Joseph could reach out his hand

across thousands of miles to hit him.

“Why can’t Mr. Black just lighten up? You were with Deborah for three years before she even divorced Ashton. That wasn’t exactly

honorable either.

So what if I’m trying to steal you away right now? If you don’t compete fairly with me, it just means you lack confidence in yourself.”

Joseph dropped his briefcase, didn’t even grab a single piece of luggage, and went straight out the door to get in the car and leave.

“Just stay in Richmond, and don’t wander around.”
