Free Web NovelChapter 328: Chapter 328: Ruthless, No Holds Barred!
The team led by Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden almost completely blocked the entire hallway.
Besides Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden, no one knew Adrian Law’s true identity.
Everyone was amazed by Adrian Law’s strikingly handsome appearance and aura, but no one expected that such a calm and elegant man would actually strike someone!
And he hit a woman!
Adrian Law’s swift and ruthless action completely shattered everyone’s worldview present!
...
Even Chloe Alden herself was utterly shocked.
"Adrian... Mr. Law... you actually hit me for that conniving woman?"
She always harbored a secret admiration for this god-like handsome man and was constantly concerned about Cecilia Vaughn winning Adrian Law’s favor and even marrying him.
How could a woman who had been in prison for three years, who had such a notorious lifestyle, possibly become Adrian Law’s partner? Let alone becoming the daughter-in-law of the Law Family, even an ordinary middle-class family in Veridia couldn’t accept such a tarnished daughter-in-law!
"Don’t you know, everything I did today was for you..."
Chloe Alden’s delicate white face quickly swelled up, and she staggered back two steps, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were terribly wronged.
To someone unaware of the situation, they might think Adrian Law had wronged Chloe Alden somehow.
...
Although Chloe Alden’s style was indeed very nightlife-oriented, and she generally had a sharp and volatile temperament, at this moment, her tears only added a certain fragility, making even those boys from Class A who usually looked down on her feel a tinge of pity.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you, gentleman? A man hitting a woman, what skill is that?"
Someone immediately wanted to stand up for Chloe Alden.
However, in Adrian Law’s eyes, these people were almost like ants; he remained unmoved and focused entirely on Cecilia Vaughn.
"I’m asking you again, where is Cecilia?!"
Adrian Law, accustomed to giving orders, exuded an aura so compelling it nearly commanded submission like an ancient emperor.
The cold, gloomy aura scared the boy who had spoken up for Chloe Alden, making him stumble back two steps.
Chloe Alden, directly facing Adrian Law, felt his intimidating presence most acutely.
But having already lost such face today, Chloe Alden didn’t care about anything anymore. She looked at the man she was fond of, rubbed her cheek, and defiantly lifted her head.
"Why are you so harsh with me? Mr. Law, although the Alden Family isn’t as prestigious as the Law Family, I am still the only daughter of Mayor Alden. You oppose me for a shameless woman, you..."
"Not going to talk, huh?"
Adrian Law’s face was stern. Ignoring Chloe Alden’s complaints, he suddenly started dialing Wyatt Law.
"Wyatt, I’m giving you ten minutes. I don’t care what you have to do, short Serene International!"
Isn’t Serene International Chloe Alden’s mother’s company?
Chloe Alden’s father, Victor Alden, being a government official, naturally couldn’t engage in business investments. However, Chloe Alden’s mother had no such restrictions.
Over the years, Victor Alden had taken advantage of his career to channel benefits to Serene International, making it a major player in Stellerton’s cosmetics industry.
But this mysterious man just said to short it like it’s nothing?
He surely is handsome, but can he really dominate the stock market?
Everyone was shocked as they looked at Adrian Law. They hadn’t figured out his identity yet, but the more perceptive ones suddenly had a hint of inspiration from the unique surname "Law."
A noble daughter from a prominent family covered her mouth.
"You... you are the Eldest Young Master of the Law Family, Mr. Adrian Law?"
Adrian Law shot a cold glance at that girl but didn’t respond.
The icy, ocean-deep gaze was enough to chill everyone from head to heart.
Could this man really be Adrian Law?
The mysterious, unbounded man who, since taking over the family business at the age of twenty, has been a force in the business world of Veridia and even globally?
If someone else had said to short Serene International, people would have thought they were just talking nonsense, but since it was spoken by the undefeated legend in business, Adrian Law...?
...
Chloe Alden’s face turned ashen to the extreme.
"No... impossible, you’re just scaring me... How could you possibly affect our family’s business so greatly in just ten minutes..."
Adrian Law snorted coldly, deeming Chloe Alden a completely uncommunicable fool, shifting his gaze lightly on Fiona Vaughn’s face.
"Was it you who sent me the text message?"
The anonymous message began by addressing him as brother-in-law.
There could be no one else but Fiona Vaughn.
Confronted by Adrian’s sharp gaze, Fiona Vaughn’s shoulders instinctively shrank back, realizing that usually, she liked pushing Chloe Alden to the forefront to draw resentment.
But there was really no way out now, so Fiona Vaughn rubbed the sweat on her face, her voice weak and mournful.
"I... Mr. Law, why are you so intimidating? Chloe and I only meant well; everyone is concerned about Cecilia."
"Your way of showing concern is truly unique."
Unique enough to... gather so many people to catch your sister in adultery.
Adrian Law sneered, gazing at Fiona Vaughn’s fragile-looking face, then scanning the other onlookers present.
Where on earth is Cecilia?
A storm of impatience surged within him a hundredfold, wondering how his half-brother had fallen for such a deceitful woman?
Adrian Law’s voice was stern.
"If none of you tell me, I’ll start breaking down doors one by one, and along the way, take you all down with Cecilia..."
The man’s voice was light, as delicate as a leaf floating on water, yet Fiona Vaughn inexplicably shivered!
Unlike the obstinate Chloe Alden, Fiona Vaughn was quick to reveal the room number.
"She... I remember the class leader gave her the room key for C011!"
Nearly half an hour had passed since Cecilia Vaughn drunk the tea; surely, if the hotel manager weren’t incompetent, Cecilia Vaughn would have been thoroughly ruined by now, right?
Fiona Vaughn lowered her long lashes, hiding the malicious glint in her eyes.
But then again, from the beginning until now, why had the class leader not shown up?
Fiona Vaughn found it odd but dismissed it as unimportant; perhaps the class leader was just an outsider, maybe they were in the bathroom.
...
Adrian Law had no interest in finding the room card; he was determined to kick down the door of C011.
Chloe Alden grinned menacingly!
"Go ahead, see if Cecilia Vaughn is fooling around!"
Everyone widened their eyes—
But just at that moment, the door of C012 suddenly opened...
