"I don't blame you. Why should I? I just envy Adrian. His parents would take him to amusement parks when he was little.
"His parents were always there for him, and my parents were always there for money.
"Can I complain? According to you, I should listen to you because you gave birth to me. What can I complain about?"
Darien's mother looked at Darien in disbelief. She continuously took a few steps back, as if she were looking at a monster.
"And now Adrian's only working with me for old times' sake. He doesn't want me to lose too badly.
"Oh, do you think he can't do it alone? You know what? Your son is the only one who's a waste of money.
"He can't even beat a woman. You think he can beat Adrian?"
"Shut up. You're crazy." Darien's mother rushed forward and slapped Darien in the face.
Darien sneered. "I am crazy. Hahaha..."
Coming out of Darien's place, Adrian felt a depression he had never felt before. He had always been indifferent and kept people at arm's length.
However, it did not mean that he had no feelings. He had been putting up with Darien because they were once the best brothers.
He would help him one last time. After this, they would just be strangers.
When Adrian returned to his office, he saw a black, gold-plated invitation on his desk.
Most people wouldn't use a black invitation. The inviter must be no ordinary person.
It was kind of mysterious.
"Who's been in my office?"
The new secretary had worked for Aleigha. She was reliable.
"Only the cleaner."
Adrian opened up the security footage. The secretary was right. However, she received a document while the cleaner was in his office.
Then, when she wasn't noticing, the cleaner put the invitation on the desk.
After cleaning up, she left his office with the cleaner, without checking his desk.
When Adrian got home, he told Aleigha about the invitation.
Looking at the invitation, Aleigha's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"I think it's Lennon. Who else would do this?"
"I'll send you to Jaidyn's place and go there myself."
Aleigha didn't say anything. She seemed a little unhappy, and she had her own plan.
On Friday, Adrian had a meeting. It was a negotiation with an Italian client.
If this went through, his products would officially dominate the entire Europe.
He valued the negotiation very much and had prepared a lot in advance. On Thursday, he had his secretary pick up the Italian client.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, however, his client did not come.
His secretary came back with a face was full of anger. "Someone took our client to Shangri- La Hotel.
"I tried to get the client back, but their men stopped me.
"Mr. Xiao, who did this?"
"Are you sure it's Shangri-La Hotel?" Adrian asked in a deep voice.
The secretary nodded. "Yes. Our men are still there. They'll keep you posted."
"Okay, cancel all my appointments today. I'll go there."
The Italian client was recommended to Adrian by Jaidyn. For this, Adrian gave him power of attorney over two countries in Europe.
Jaidyn would never say no to money.
Adrian was under attack from every side. He thanked Jaidyn for willing to give him a hand.
Adrian drove straight to Shangri-La Hotel. Jaidyn was a shareholder in this hotel.
Adrian wondered if he should call Jaidyn. The next second, he saw Jaidyn, who was saying goodbye to his client.
Seeing Adrian, Jaidyn wanted to escape. But the next thing he knew, Adrian rushed to him and hugged his shoulder.
