Chapter 686: Chapter 686: We haven’t offended him either.


    The real trouble was with the Lopez Family.


    Edward Lopez had previously taken a liking to Cindy rke and made a scene at the award ceremony, provoking Adrian Zhekova, only then finding out about the rtionship between Cindy and Adrian.


    After that, he went home and was on high alert.


    But he didn’t dare tell his father, Richard Lopez, about this. He just wanted to keep it to himself and wait and see.


    To see if Adrian Zhekova would actually make any moves in the next few days.


    People said that Adrian Zhekova held grudges and would take revenge instantly.


    So Edward thought, ording to Adrian’s habit of taking revenge on the spot, Adrian should have taken revenge that night at the party.


    If Adrian’s actions at the party didn’t count as revenge, then it wouldn’t fit his character of taking revenge instantly.


    His attitude that night could be considered as revenge, but he shouldn’t have added more hatred afterward.


    Since he had already taken revenge that night, it should have ended there.<div>


    Edwardforted himself, thinking that even if Adrian was really that petty, he couldn’t continue to hold a grudge after taking revenge that night.


    Although he felt that way, Edward was still scared in his heart. He wanted to observe Adrian’s actions for two or three days.


    If Adrian didn’t make any moves, then the matter would be over, and Edward could breathe a sigh of relief.


    If Adrian didn’t let it go, then it wouldn’t be toote for him to tell Richard the truthter.


    So Edward stayed at home and waited, not going out for the first time in a long while.


    He didn’t go to pubs to pick up girls or organize any parties.


    His parents found his behavior unusually well-behaved.


    One day, Mrs. Lopez went out to y cards with some friends and returned to find Edward still at home.


    Hearing that he had just finished working out in the fitness room, Mrs. Lopez was very surprised.


    “Why have you been so well-behaved these days, not going out to y? Didn’t you bring some friends with you to Belfard? Howe you’re not hanging out with them?” Mrs. Lopez asked.


    Edward had been so well-behaved recently, he hadn’t even gone to see his ssmates, including E Doone. He was too worried about Adrian’s issue and had no mood to y.


    If the matter with Adrian didn’te to an end, Edward might not have the heart for anything else.


    Edward had just finished exercising and felt refreshed after taking a shower.


    Upon hearing her words, he said: “Look at what you’re saying. When I go out to y, you always nag me, saying I hang around with useless friends and don’t help in the family business. Now that I’m staying at home, being well-behaved, and not going anywhere, you’re telling me to go out and y. What do you want me to do?”


    Mrs. Lopez immediatelyughed: “Oh, are you really nning to settle down?”


    Edward said, “Didn’t I graduate? It’s time to work seriously after ying for a while.”N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lopez was overjoyed.


    Edward had always been yful. When he was still in college, they asked him to do an internship at the family’spany for some practical experience and learning. But Edward refused, saying he hadn’t had enough fun and didn’t want to start working so early.


    Richard Lopez was strong and energetic at the time, so he didn’t push Edward too hard.<div>


    After Edward graduated from college, he should have joined the family business.


    But to avoid working, Edward insisted on going abroad to study further.


    He ended up ying for a few more years under the guise of studying abroad.


    Finally, he returned home, and Richard Lopez was determined to at least let Edward join thepany and learn the ropes.<div>


    But Edward had brought back his ssmates from his study abroad and kept ying around in Belford City.


    Richard and Mrs. Lopez both talked to Edward about it, but he insisted on ying first before going to thepany.


    And so he kept stalling. Now, to their surprise, they heard Edward actually bringing up joining thepany himself.


    Mrs. Lopez eximed with a surprised look: “You’ve finally decided to join thepany.”


    Edwardughed awkwardly and said, “Didn’t I graduate already? There’s nothing more to learn, so I have to join thepany sooner orter. Plus, I’m not getting any younger. I need time to learn and gradually take over. It’s time to go to thepany and start learning.”


    In fact, if it weren’t for his current situation, Edward would never want to join thepany and be restrained.


    Right now, he wanted to take the initiative to join thepany to keep an eye on its first-hand information.


    If Adrian really targeted the Lopez Family, he would definitely go after thepany first. By doing this, Edward would know immediately.


    Even if he couldn’t prevent it, at least he could admit his mistakes and apologize to Richard earlier.


    Mrs. Lopez didn’t know the real reason, but she just felt that Edward had finallye to his senses and was overjoyed.


    “Tell your father about it tonight when hees home,” Mrs. Lopez said happily, “You can start at thepany tomorrow. Your father will be really happy to hear this.”


    However, not long after Mrs. Lopez felt happy, she received a call from Richard saying he would be hometer tonight.


    From Richard’s voice on the phone, she sensed something was wrong.<div>


    Mrs. Lopez asked, “What happened? Is there a problem with thepany? Why do you sound so heavy?”


    Richard didn’t hide it, sighing, “I don’t know where ourpany offended Adrian Zhekova, but he suddenly took action against us. We’re currently investigating it. I’ve been trying to contact Adrian but can’t get through.”


    If only he could contact Adrian and ask him what happened, it would be better.


    Today, Adrian was particrly hard to reach. Even now, they still couldn’t contact him, and they didn’t know why.


    “Adrian Zhekova?” Mrs. Lopez eximed in disbelief, “Why is Adrian targeting ourpany? We didn’t do anything to offend him!”


    Mrs. Lopez’s first reaction was to think if their family had offended Adrian.


    Adrian’s vengeful nature was deeply ingrained, so whenever something involved him, people’s first reaction was whether they had done something to offend him.


    “I don’t know,” Richard was puzzled, “That’s why I’ve been trying to contact them, but I just can’t get through.”


    “Is the situation at thepany very serious?” Mrs. Lopez asked.


    “It’s okay for now,” Richard replied, but the tone of his voice didn’t sound optimistic at all.
