Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 309: No Girlfriend, No Fiancée

Feeling her gaze upon him, Adrian Holt’s scalp tingled with numbness.

He didn’t even know what was wrong with him, but a strong desire to survive suddenly surged within him.

He hurriedly explained: "No girlfriend, no fiancée either."

There were hardly any women around him.

In the organization, he only thought about surviving, nothing else.

As the words left his mouth, Adrian Holt was suddenly taken aback.

Why did he need to explain himself to Serena Summers?

He wasn’t really Lucas Shaw.

However, Serena seemed quite satisfied with his answer, her lips curling slightly as she asked again: "Really don’t have one?"

Adrian Holt: "Really don’t have one."

Upon hearing this, Brandon Reese and Ethan Wells both sighed in relief.

That’s good... They knew it all along that the Second Master has always been modest and upright. How could he fancy any woman other than his wife?

Their lady’s painstaking wait over the past two years was not in vain.

Thinking of the hardships Serena has endured over these two years, Brandon Reese couldn’t help but feel heartache.

He resisted tears that had barely stopped, repeatedly wiping them on Ethan Wells’s sleeve.

A perfectly good suit now sported several damp stains, and the obsessive-compulsive Ethan wanted to take it off and throw it away right there and then.

But right now, he had more important things to do.

"Master, now that you’re back, do you want me to make arrangements for you to return to the company?"

At this moment, Liam Shaw stepped forward and spoke in a low voice, "Ethan, you go make the arrangements. I’ve been handling the company’s management in his stead, but now that our CEO has returned, it’s naturally time to hand it back to him."

Adrian Holt frowned slightly, declining: "No need, I still... haven’t regained my memory, I’m afraid I might not be able to handle many things well."

Liam Shaw waved his hand nonchalantly, "You may have lost your memory, but the ability is still there. Plus, with Ethan Wells and Brandon Reese as capable assistants, you can certainly do this."

Indeed, over these two years, he finally got a taste of what managing a company was like.

In the past, many outsiders heard that Master Shaw bypassed him to hand over the company to Lucas Shaw, using it to sow discord between the two brothers.

But only he knew in his heart, that it was he who had voluntarily given up the right to inherit the company.

He pursued medicine partly because he genuinely liked it, and partly because he wanted to quickly find a cure for the toxin in Lucas Shaw’s body.

His decision proved to be correct.

Over these two years, he had indeed experienced the life of a corporate drone.

Day in, day out, from early dawn till nightfall, with an endless stream of business meetings and projects, there was never a moment to rest.

Now that Lucas Shaw had finally returned, he could finally rid himself of that nightmarish life.

"No need, you must be quite adept at the company’s affairs after these two years, right? You should continue to be in charge from now on," Adrian Holt said with a sly pat on Liam Shaw’s shoulder.

He was here for Serena, not to make money for the Shaw Family.

He wasn’t that foolish.

Liam Shaw looked at him in astonishment: "What about you?"

"Me?" Adrian Holt, draping his arm over Serena’s shoulder and pulling her into his embrace, smiled and said, "Haven’t seen my wife in two years, of course, I have to accompany her properly."

Forever alone Liam Shaw: "..."

Typical of a younger brother, always stabbing him in the heart.

Is he mocking that he has no wife?

He’ll find one soon!

Adrian Holt and Serena exchanged a smile, waving their hands at Liam Shaw: "Big brother, good luck! The hopes of our entire family are in your hands now." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Liam Shaw: "..."

He’d seen people who were backstabbers, but never a couple who backstabbed together.

Watching the two embrace and walk away, Liam Shaw sighed deeply.

"Brandon, aren’t you following them yet? What if something happens to the Second Master and his wife?"

Brandon Reese was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood the implication behind Liam Shaw’s words.

It seems that the eldest young master is still not at ease with the second master.

That’s right, the second master has lost his memory... oh no, his memory has been tampered with.

This is akin to a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

They believe the second master would never harm the lady, but they do not trust the organization behind it.

Brandon Reese responded and hurried out.

Outside the door, Adrian Holt looked down at Serena Summers and asked, "Where shall we go?"

"To the bar." Serena Summers waved her phone, explaining, "My cousin knows you’re back and sent a message specifically asking me to bring you out for a gathering."

"Fiona Ryan?"

Adrian Holt remembered that he indeed had a cousin, but he had never met her.

Serena Summers smiled and shook her head, "No, it’s my cousin, Claire Lane from the Lane Family, and my best friend Charlotte Summers."

Yes, her best friend.

In the past two years, when she was the saddest and most troubled, it was Charlotte Summers who had stayed by her side.

Their relationship was already good to begin with, and it had grown even closer after two years of friendship.

Although Charlotte Summers could sometimes be too spoiled, she had a good heart.

"Alright, then I’ll accompany you with my life at stake." Adrian Holt walked to the car door, extended his hand to open the passenger door, and gestured for her to enter.

Serena Summers raised an eyebrow, "How do you know this is the car you usually drive?"

Adrian Holt was startled for a moment, then glanced at the car beside him.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom, the car he most frequently drove.

Was it also the car that Lucas Shaw often drove?

It seems their tastes were indeed remarkably similar.

His eyes flickered, and then he chuckled, "Men, you know, they all like expensive cars, there’s nothing unusual about that."

Serena Summers casually "oh"ed, didn’t expose him, and directly sat in the passenger seat.

After she was seated, Adrian Holt closed the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, stepped on the gas pedal, and headed toward the Nightshade Bar that Serena Summers had mentioned, following the navigation.

Nightshade Bar, a certain VIP room.

Claire Lane and Charlotte Summers eagerly awaited, occasionally glancing at the door.

"Why haven’t they arrived yet? I hope nothing’s gone wrong, right?"

"Charlotte, do you think Lucas Shaw really came back?"

Claire Lane was very anxious inside.

Because she was at the scene when Lucas Shaw had an accident two years ago.

She witnessed Lucas Shaw jumping into the sea and the bomb exploding with her own eyes.

When she heard that Lucas Shaw was still alive, her first reaction was disbelief.

Charlotte Summers supported her chin with one hand and sipped from her glass with the other.

Hearing Claire Lane’s words, she snorted softly, "Who knows? All I am sure of is that in the past two years, Serena’s heart has been deeply hurt."

Claire Lane nodded in agreement and quickly joined Charlotte Summers in angrily cursing Lucas Shaw back and forth.

Sean Wynn and Adrian Shaw exchanged helpless glances.

Why do women hold grudges like this?

They didn’t quite understand.

At this moment, Adrian Holt and Serena Summers walked in hand in hand.

Upon seeing Adrian Holt’s face, Claire Lane and Charlotte Summers’ eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

"You, you’re really still alive?"

Claire Lane stared dazedly at Adrian Holt’s face, taking a long time to recover.

Back then, they searched the sea for several days, but ultimately, they found nothing.

Everyone thought he was dead, only Serena Summers insisted that he must still be alive.
