Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 334: Finally Going to Have a Big Fight

After coming out from the restaurant, Serena Summers received a call from Dean Carter, saying Leonard Kee had already woken up.

Serena, having eaten her fill, leaned back against the passenger seat, gazing resentfully at the roof of the car, "I’m sleepy..."

She sighed deeply, her entire demeanor listless, her eyes staring blankly as if she could fall asleep any second.

Adrian Holt couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

Unable to resist, he reached over to gently tousle her hair and said, "Get some sleep for now, I’ll wake you when we get to the hospital."

"Mhm." Serena mumbled vaguely in response and then fell silent.

Adrian turned his head and saw that she had already fallen asleep.

He chuckled helplessly, slowed the car down, and tried to drive as smoothly as possible.

What was meant to be a journey of just a few minutes, he deliberately extended to half an hour.

Adrian parked the car in the hospital garage, tried calling Serena a few times; she furrowed her brows and pushed him away in annoyance.

How annoying, can’t one even sleep in peace?

Adrian had no choice but to sit in the car and wait for a while, about ten minutes or so, checking the time before he started calling her again.

This time around, Serena grumbled, but eventually opened her eyes.

"Are we at the hospital?"

"Yeah."

Serena rubbed her sleepy eyes and patted her face, slowly regaining alertness.

"Then I’m going? Remember to pick me up tonight." Before getting out of the car, Serena looked back at Adrian.

Adrian nodded in response, and after she entered the hospital, he rolled up the car window, planning to head back to the Shaw Family.

Just then, his phone rang suddenly.

Adrian picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

He frowned slightly and directly pressed to hang up, but to his surprise, the caller persisted and kept calling back repeatedly.

Finally running out of patience, he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Is this Lucas? I’m your mother." Elena Ryan’s voice came through the earpiece, slightly trembling.

Hearing the word "mother," Adrian was momentarily stunned, then scoffed coldly.

"Mother? Are you sure you deserve that title?"

Although he didn’t know why Elena Ryan would call him, he instinctively disliked this woman.

Especially after reading about Lucas Shaw’s life, he despised her even more.

How could this woman even dare to use the word "mother"? It’s an insult to the term.

"Lucas, don’t hang up, I have something to tell you," Elena Ryan said anxiously.

Adrian, preparing to end the call, paused for a moment. His dark eyes flashed with impatience, "Speak."

Seeing that he didn’t refuse, Elena Ryan’s heart leapt with joy, "It’s not convenient to talk over the phone, let’s meet in person. How about the coffee shop near Shaw Group?"

After speaking, she hung up the call without waiting for Adrian’s agreement.

Adrian lowered his gaze, staring fixedly at the phone screen, lost in thought.

Half an hour later, Adrian drove to the café Elena Ryan had mentioned.

Elena Ryan had already arrived and the moment she saw Adrian through the window, a fear stirred in her heart.

But remembering the instructions of that person, Elena Ryan forced a smile.

"Lucas, you’ve arrived?"

"Stick to the matter at hand," Adrian said tersely, unwilling to waste too much time on this woman.

Elena Ryan’s face stiffened for a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Lucas, mom heard you lost your memory? Is it true? I’ve been so worried about you."

"Worried? Worried I didn’t die two years ago? Or worried about... something else?"

Adrian Holt’s insinuating words made Elena Ryan’s heart skip a beat fiercely.

She lowered her eyelashes, reaching to wipe the traces at the corner of her eyes, "Lucas, how could you speak about mom like that?"

Suddenly, her expression changed, grabbing Adrian Holt’s hand and interrogating, "Did Serena Summers speak ill of me to you? I knew that bad woman was up to no good!"

"Who allowed you to speak about her like that?"

Adrian Holt disgustedly shook off her hand, reaching for two tissues from the table, vigorously wiping the area he was touched.

Wishing he could display his distaste openly on his face.

Elena Ryan was somewhat at a loss, "Lucas..."

"Don’t call me that, you don’t think that just because I lost my memory, I also lost my ability to judge, do you?" Adrian Holt mocked with a sneer.

Elena Ryan had always been pampered and adored, even if Vincent Shaw no longer loved her, the Shaw Family has never mistreated her.

Therefore, she nearly had no schemes, all her thoughts were plainly written on her face.

Commonly called—both foolish and malicious.

Elena Ryan was deeply stung by his mocking gaze, her face turning alternately pale and flushed.

She had never been treated this way before.

Looking at the man in front of her, her mind drifted back to two years ago, when Lucas Shaw rebelliously resisted for that wretched girl Serena Summers, looking exactly as he did now.

Her expression suddenly became grim, warning sharply, "Professor Parker told me to pass on a message to you, not to do things you shouldn’t, the consequences are not something you can bear."

Originally, upon hearing the news of Lucas Shaw’s memory loss, she had planned to pull him onto her side.

As long as Lucas Shaw stood with her, she could return to the Shaw Family, and reunite with Vincent Shaw.

But who could tell her if this man in front of her really lost his memory?

Why was his attitude towards her still the same as two years ago?

Especially those eyes, the identical bone-chilling gaze that unnervingly instilled fear.

"Then pass this message back to him, mind less of my business. And you, think you can use me because I lost my memory? Dream on," freёwebnoѵel.com

Adrian Holt scoffed coldly, suddenly stood up, and left without looking back.

Elena Ryan stiffened abruptly, and when she came back to her senses, her hands and feet turned chillingly cold.

Did he... did he find out something?

After leaving the café, Adrian Holt directly got into another car.

"Boss, it’s confirmed, Mason Parker is currently in Country C," Brandon Reese said from the driver’s seat, with a solemn expression.

Adrian Holt nodded indifferently, his gaze extremely cold, "Hmm, what else did you find out?"

"Mason Parker seems to be involved with the Deputy CEO of Country C. Our people captured photos of the two of them meeting."

Brandon Reese handed the photos to Adrian Holt.

Adrian Holt glanced down at them, his eyes showing no surprise whatsoever.

When those people appeared at the hospital, he had already guessed this outcome.

The organization was intricately entangled, to stabilize further, they must rope in sufficiently powerful forces.

Although the CEO of Country C, Leonard Kee, is continuously surrounded by scandals, he’s considered honest, and they couldn’t sway him.

The best approach was to wait for the electoral change in Country C, to support a person who would stand by them and safeguard their interests.

But they overlooked one thing: Leonard Kee’s popularity is high and he holds a high status in the people’s hearts.

Many citizens support Leonard Kee’s re-election.

The smooth execution of their plan necessitated Leonard Kee’s death.

Now not only is Leonard Kee not dead, but he has also recovered from his illness, they surely won’t let it go peacefully.

"Brandon, get someone to hand these photos over to Leonard Kee, don’t expose yourself."

"Understood!" Brandon’s eyes lit up, immediately gearing up for action.

After holding back for so long, it was finally time for a major move!
