Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 344: The Lion That Gets Its Fur Stroked

Yesterday, Minister Ray made a special trip to see Serena Summers, asking for a meeting to discuss something important.

Due to the presence of too many guests around at that time, Serena didn’t dare to ask further.

The two arrived at the agreed-upon location and slowly parked the car.

Adrian Holt glanced over and saw that Serena’s expression was somewhat solemn. Not knowing what she was thinking, he quickly grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers together, holding them tightly in his palm.

"What’s on your mind?"

Coming back to her senses, Serena shook her head at him: "I don’t know, I just feel a bit uneasy."

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here," said Adrian Holt.

There seemed to be a power in Adrian Holt’s deep and dark eyes that could steady a person’s heart.

Serena’s originally unsettled heart instantly calmed down.

She lifted her head and smiled, nodding at Adrian Holt: "Yeah, let’s go."

Minister Ray had already been waiting at the entrance. Seeing them appear, he immediately waved at them: "Follow me."

Serena and Adrian Holt exchanged glances, not understanding what Minister Ray wanted to do, but still followed him.

Upon following Minister Ray into the office, they saw a familiar person.

That person was sitting lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed, sipping coffee.

Hearing the door open, he slowly lifted his gaze.

A glint flashed across his emerald-green fox-like eyes, with his gaze fixedly falling on Serena and not shifting away.

"Miss Summers, long time no see."

"Mr. Kee, we just saw each other last night," Serena responded coldly.

Adrian Holt furrowed his brow, stepped forward, and subtly shielded Serena behind him, his displeased gaze landing on Leonard Kee.

"There’s a saying in Corland, ’A single day apart feels like three autumns.’ Though we met yesterday, I’ve missed Miss Summers dearly," Leonard Kee said, casting flirtatious glances at Serena, completely disregarding Adrian Holt.

No man could tolerate this situation.

Adrian Holt let out a cold laugh, preparing to step forward and deal with this oblivious fool.

However, the next moment, a ticklish numbness spread from his palm.

It was Serena gently scratching the center of his hand, silently pacifying her own emotions.

Adrian Holt paused, and the anger accumulating in his chest dissipated like air from a deflated ball in an instant.

Thus, Minister Ray and Leonard Kee were surprised to find that the man who only moments ago radiated an ominous aura and seemed on the verge of assault had his temper immediately soothed.

He was like a lion who had been petted smooth, hiding his savage and bloodthirsty claws in the presence of his beloved, becoming wholly docile.

This completely overturned their understanding of Adrian Holt.

The two exchanged a look, realizing for the first time how important Serena was to Adrian Holt’s heart.

"Alright, let’s get to the point. Mr. Kee, what did you want to talk to us about?" Minister Ray cleared his throat, breaking the silence.

The smile on Leonard Kee’s face fell, and his expression turned cold in an instant.

"I have recently received some information. Have you heard of the G organization?"

Minister Ray was greatly startled inwardly, a sense of wariness immediately rising in his heart, "How do you know about this organization?"

In contrast, Serena and Adrian Holt appeared very calm.

Leonard Kee observed the change in their expressions.

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I’ve had people investigate. The G organization primarily operates in Corland, but now, their influence is expanding outward."

"Mr. Kee, what do you mean by that?" Minister Ray asked, puzzled.

Leonard Kee gave him a deep look, then picked up a folder from the coffee table and handed it to him.

After flipping through the folder, Minister Ray’s expression turned stern.

"This... isn’t this Michael Tucker, the Deputy CEO of Corland? How could he be acquainted with Mason Parker?"

Serena Summers leaned over to take a look and was also taken aback.

If Mason Parker knows the Deputy CEO of Corland, does that mean the G-organization’s influence has extended to Corland?

Leonard Kee suddenly looked towards Adrian Holt with a sharp gaze, "I’ve also found out that Mr. Holt has spent two years within the G-organization. I wonder what role you held there? And what is your purpose for getting close to the Fletcher Family?"

His tone was calm, but every question he posed was tricky.

"What are you trying to say?"

Serena Summers instinctively shielded Adrian Holt, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She knew that the events from two years ago would be exposed sooner or later, but she never thought it would be this soon.

Adrian Holt patted Serena Summers on the shoulder reassuringly and whispered, "Don’t worry, it’s alright."

"Mr. Kee, it’s true I spent some time there, but I never had contact with the core of the organization. You won’t find any leads with me."

"Besides, the organization changes its location periodically. I had people search the previous location, but it had already been cleared out."

Serena Summers looked at him with surprise. When did this happen?

Why had he never mentioned it before?

Leonard Kee stood up from the sofa in shock, "What did you say? You’ve been to their base?"

"Yes. If your information network is savvy enough, you should know that my memory was tampered with by the organization, and I came back naturally hoping to set things right."

The implication was clear: he would no longer work for the organization.

Leonard Kee stared intently at Adrian Holt, trying to discern the truthfulness of his statement from his eyes.

But Adrian Holt remained composed under his scrutiny, with a calm and unruffled expression that revealed nothing.

In the end, Leonard Kee sank back into the sofa in frustration and said angrily, "There’s less than a month left before the Corland election officially begins."

The CEO of Corland is equivalent to the president of many countries, that is to say, the supreme leader, with a term of office changing every four years.

Although Corland’s territory is not large, its economic development ranks among the top internationally, and it has a very good relationship with Corland.

Leonard Kee and Michael Tucker were both hot candidates for CEO, with a marginal difference in their votes four years ago.

Ultimately, Leonard Kee won by a mere two votes and became the new CEO.

But Michael Tucker always harbored dissatisfaction, constantly scheming behind the scenes.

The election is coming up, and Leonard Kee always felt that Michael Tucker must be holding back a big move, plotting to overthrow him.

Serena Summers showed a look of realization: "It seems my guess was correct."

Since the people who had been secretly monitoring her at the hospital were caught, she had her suspicions.

Just, she did not expect Mason Parker to be involved as well.

Minister Ray’s expression turned cold, "That organization has elusive movements; we have dispatched people to search many times, but in the end, we’ve found nothing. If they have now gone abroad, it’s going to be even harder to find them."

Adrian Holt interjected at the right moment: "A goose flies but leaves traces. Since Mason Parker and Michael Tucker have an underground connection, then follow that lead."

"Then I will immediately send a message to my subordinates and have them keep a close eye on Michael Tucker."

Leonard Kee wiped his face, abruptly standing up from the sofa.

Michael Tucker, that bastard, actually played dirty tricks to send someone to assassinate him. He’s really asking for it!

The group sat together and discussed a plan, reaching a preliminary agreement to cooperate.
