Chapter 179 I Am Willing
Joseph’s temples throbbed as he eximed, “What kind of joke is this?”
Adrian’s tone was particrly serious and sincere, “I’m not joking with you. I’ve taken a liking to
Deborah, and when ites 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 topete 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 ites 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’tpare to
her.
Every time Adrian thought of Deborah, his heart would start pounding uncontrobly.
Joseph finally realized that something was off, “Mr. Moxley, are you nning 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
gue after dinner and immediately
went out with Alyssa.
But Deborah didn’t scold him or yell at him, nor did she ssh a cup of water on his face, which meant
she wasn’t too resistant towards
him.
Joseph couldn’t hold back any longer and mmed his briefcase down on the cab 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
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 thepany.
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 youing back, Deborah spent the night at my
cest 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. ck 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’tpete fairly with me, it just means you
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.”
Adrian sneered, “Why run? I’ll just wait here for you toe over and have a nice chat. When I marry
Deborah in the future, I’ll save a seat
for you at the table with her exes.
Hey, speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence that you and Ashton can share a table. It’s a perfect
opportunity to catch up and chat.”
After Adrian finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Joseph’s response and promptly hung up the phone.
Joseph took a private jet straight to Richmond. After Adrian hung up the phone, he soon felt a little
guilty.
Even though he was attracted to Deborah, he didn’t think there was anything wrong withpeting
with Joseph for her affection, after all,
it wasn’t against thew.
But provoking Joseph like that just now, wouldn’t it really anger him and make hime back to beat
him up?
Upon learning that Joseph and Deborah had been together for quite some time, the elders of the
Moxley family realized that it was Adrian
who had meddled in their rtionship.
Would the elders of the Moxley family join Joseph in giving him a good beating?
Adrian felt a brief moment of fear, but quickly realized there was nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, he had fallen in love with Deborah. What’s wrong with that? It’s not his fault.
Pursue what you love, it’s only natural. After all, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Adrian felt a moment of panic, but after reassuring himself, he returned to his bedroom to catch up on
some sleep.
Deborah had no idea what had happened.
She and Alyssa spent the whole morning shopping at the mall, buying a bunch of stuff.
The Moxley family’s preferences were not understood by Deborah, but Alyssa knew them well.
Alyssa is in charge of informing Deborah and providing rmendations, while Deborah makes the
final decision on purchasing the
appropriate gifts.
She carefully selected a variety of items. For Donna, she chose a longevity-boosting supplement, and
for Ava, she picked out a beautiful
ne.
After buying some simple and suitable gifts for Koll and the three siblings of the Moxley family,
everything was considered well-prepared.
In the blink of an eye, the morning passed by. As noon approached, she nned to take Alyssa for
lunch directly at the shopping mall.
Just then, Donna called and said that meal was ready at home, asking them toe back and eat.
Deborah then took Alyssa back to Moxley Manor.
Alyssa was in a great mood, bouncing and hopping along the way, as if she had returned to the
appearance of a four or five-year-old child.
As soon as they returned to the entrance of Moxley Manor, Alyssa’s expression changed.
In the courtyard outside, a ck Bentley was parked, which belonged to Joseph.
Deborah stared nkly for a moment, feeling it was impossible for Joseph to suddenly show up here.
It was understood between them that Joseph would give her plenty of time and space these days,
allowing her to apany Alyssa without any disturbances.
Joseph has many cars, so Deborah doesn’t quite remember the license te numbers.
Thinking it might be a coincidence, someone else also drove a Bentley.
The Moxley family, with its wealth and nobility, naturally had no shortage of affluent and distinguished
friends and rtives.
Deborah didn’t take it too seriously and led Alyssa inside.
Upon entering the living room, it was bustling with excitement.
People were sitting on both sides of the couch. On one side, Donna was sitting next to Adrian, who had
a reluctant expression on his face.

On the other side, Joseph was sitting with a shy-looking Evelyn.
In that situation, Deborah found it difficult to put her feelings into words, as she had a faint sense of
unease.
Donna looked at Evelyn with a grin, and as Deborah approached, she just happened to hear Donna
speak.
“Eve, are you satisfied with Adrian?”
Evelyn lowered her head bashfully and said, “Mr. Moxley is so outstanding, of course I’m satisfied…”
