    He slowly retrieved a tissue and delicately wrapped the ashes on the floor, tucking them into his


    pocket.


    Suddenly, there was amotion outside, and Adrian could hear Janice’s voice.


    He arranged everything back in its ce and grabbed a stack of documents from the study before


    heading downstairs.


    He overheard Janice’s persistent attempts to enter through the crack in the door.


    He made a n as he nced at the documents in his hand.


    If he had to uncover the truth, starting with Janice was undoubtedly the best choice.


    Upon seeing Adrian’s serious expression, Janice appeared unaffected, but in her heart, she was


    already panicking.


    She feared that Adrian had discovered something, despite having taken care of the evidence the


    previous night.


    Yet, everyone in Imperial City knew the wisdom of Adrian.


    After his father’s death, he became the manager of the Olson Group. The Imperial City changed.


    In less than a month, Adrian had elevated the Olson Group.


    And he sessfully defended their position as the top group in Imperial City.


    No one knew how he managed tomand the obedience of those capitalists overnight.


    Even the prominent groups in Imperial City, such as the Marsh Group and Potter Group, dared not


    oppose him.


    In numerous news reports, he was even referred to as the invisible de and the nocturnal killer.


    Everyone believed that someone like him would have no vulnerabilities.

    However, a series of events had urred, and Adrian couldn’t summon any favorable feelings towards


    her, only felt hypocrisy.


    “Even know? It seems you’re quite concerned about the event,” he remarked.


    Janice flustered, realizing she had identally revealed too much in her excitement.


    But being shrewd, she quickly grabbed Adrian’s arm, pressing her body close to his.


    asionally, she deliberately showcased her cleavage in Adrian’s sight.


    “Adrian, I know you still doubt me, but I will wait until the truth is revealed.”


    “As long as, as long as you won’t abandon me and no longer despise me.”


    “Even if you allow me to stay by your side and care for you, I’m willing!”


    Adrian raised his head, seemingly lost in thought. He might have a chance to uncover the truth by


    keeping her close.


    It made him remind of not just the poisoning incident but also concerning his father and the child


    within Sienna’s womb.


    Adrian had a peculiar intuition that all these matters were somehow connected to Janice.


    He looked down at Janice, met her seemingly harmless face. He tried to be gentle.


    “Fine.”


    “Really? Adrian, what does that mean? You’ve agreed?”


    Janice eximed, surprised and overjoyed, throwing herself into Adrian’s arms and burying her


    head in his chest.


    “Yes,” he replied.


    Unbeknownst to her, he wore a disgusted expression.
