Chapter 32

Adriane wanted to refute that she was not timid, but Arthur went back to his room after saying. “You can order anyone in this mansion to go with you.”

She looked at Arthur’s back and asked hesitatingly, “Mr. Arthur, are you sure you won’t regret giving me the authority to handle this matter?”

Arthur said coldly, “I’m fine as long as you don’t come back crying after failing to handle the matter”

“Mr. Arthur, you must have a serious misunderstanding about me,” thought Adriane as she watched Arthur entering the elevator.

There was another person who thought Adriane was a weak and timid girl. It was Yael. He asked Arthur when they were alone, “Mr. Arthur, what if they bully Miss Stewart?”

Arthur said, “She will learn to be strong only after experiencing failure.”

That was not what Arthur was thinking, “I’ll help her if someone bullies her and she comes back crying”

The next day, Tom was punctual as usual. Tom taught Adriane how to massage, and Adriane helped Arthur do his physiotherapy under Tom’s guidance.

After the rehabilitation session, Arthur went back to his room to rest while Tom taught Adriane the rest of the massaging technique on a silicon

mannequin.

She learned attentively. Not only because she wanted to help Arthur but also because she hoped Arthur would get better soon.

Before Tom left, he handed a file to Adriane. Adriane took a look at the document in it and smiled.

Then, she sent someone to watch over Hendrix’s mansion but did nothing more. Arthur did not urge Adriane to settle the matter either. Just when Yael thought Adriane had forgotten all about it, she led Yael and his men to Hendrix’s mansion.

Alexander lived near Jenkins Group, taking control of the company and managing it. Hendrix and Helen were attending a charity event and not at home that night. Their daughter was on an overseas vacation. There was no one else at home except for Margaret and her son.

Adriane strode into Hendrix’s mansion before their maid could stop her.

She stood in the living room, hands on her waist, and shouted, “Margaret Jakeman, come out!”

However, someone else came out instead of Margaret. It was a man that resembled her appearance. He was standing on the second floor.

Adriane could see that man was only in his early 20s, with colorfully dyed hair, an extra-large T-shirt, ripped trousers, and a row of ear studs.

She knew that young man. He was Margaret’s son. His name was Henry, and he was 22 years old.

Helen had brought him to Jenkins’ manor when he was still a kid. She gave him the best and turned him into an arrogant and lazy bast*rd.

“Why are you yelling in our house?” Henry impatiently walked downstairs.

Adriane knew who he was, but she still asked, “Who are you?”

Henry froze when he heard Adriane’s question. Then he clenched his teeth and said, “Open your eyes wide and see clearly. Lam the descendant of

Jenkins”

“Is that so? And who is your father?”

“Hendrix Jenkins, of course!

“Oh…” Adriane dragged her voice on purpose, “but I met my eldest nephew, Alexander, a few days ago. You are not him. Who the heck are you? How dare you claim yourself as the descendant of Jenkins.”

・ you ( should stop outsiders from antering.

The maid was in a dilemma. “Mi. Henry, we can’t stop her. She is Mrs. Jenking now

Henry snorted, “She is just engaged to Uncle Arthur and doesn’t deserve the title Mrs. Jenkins yet. And she is only an adopted daughter of the Stewarts Heh She would only be Mrs. Jenkins in her dreams!”

Like Margaret, Helen had spoilt Henry, making him arrogant and useless. Moreover, he wished Arthur as dead too, and Alexander could intent the position of the breadwinner of Jenkins family because his mother’s thoughts had influenced him

His thoughts were obvious. Adnane could not help herself from sneering when she saw the arrogant look on Henry’s face. Henry was too s****d to realize that he would not gain anything even if he supported Alexander to take control of Jenkins. He was a mere son of Hendrix’s mistress. Alexander hated: Henry deep down his bones for twenty years

Once Alexander took complete control of Jenkins, they were the first-person Alexander would get rid of.

Unfortunately, Adriane came to settle accounts with them and was not going to warn them about it

Just as Henry finished mocking, she slapped him and said, “I tried not to get into a conflict with you, yet you took advantage of it and insulted my identity”

Adriane looked thin and weak. So, Henry did not guard against her. That stap from Adriane made his cheek swell, and he could feel his brain buzzing.

Covering his face, he said in disbelief, “How dare you slap me…

“Of course, I dare to slap you!” Adriane was not the slightest bit afraid. She gave Henry another slap. Seeing Henry reminded her of Josie. Frustration shot through her when she recalled that they could not prove that Alexander was the mastermind.

Henry was mad too. He wanted to hit Adriane, but Yael subdued him before he could do so.

Seeing that Adriane was going to slap her son again, Margaret dashed out of the house. She wore a purple silk nightdress, and her hair was wet, which might be because she had just taken her bath

Glancing at Henry’s swollen cheeks, she screamed, “Stop it! How dare you hit my son!”

Adnane played with her finger and pretended to be shocked, “Oh, so he is your son.”

Margaret snorted, “Don’t you think it’s too late to regret now?”

“I did slap the right person then? How did you teach your son that he even had the guts to say he is the descendant of Jenkins?”

Burning with fury, Margaret said, “He is the descendant of Jenkins.”

“My sister-in-law’sson is the rightful descendant of Jenkins. Are you my sister in law?”

Margaret’s face blushed, and she atmost fainted as raw anger shot through her. She had been living in Jenkins mapor for twenty years under helen’s protection. Even the maids had to speak politely to her. No one dared to say that she was a mistress

But, Adriane had casually reminded her that she was only Hendria’s mistress in front of so many people

“B”tch” Margaret was not as patient as Helen. She had lost her temper and shouted, “I am your brother in law’s woman and an elderly person that you should respect. How dare you insult me in public”

Adriane blew her fingers and said, “No one will believe you even if you say you are my sister in law

Chapter 32

Several bodyguards were holding Henry. He shouted with a m***d voice because of his swollen cheeks, “Mom, there is no point arguing with her. Ask

the maids to chase her out.”

Before Margaret could order the maids, Adriane slapped Henry again and said, “Your Aunt Adriane is speaking to your mother. Didn’t your parents teach you that you should not interrupt when others are talking? Don’t you have the slightest bit of respect towards your aunt?”

Henry stomped his feet, and his eyes turned red. He wanted to tear Adriane into pieces, but he had been consuming alcohol and tobacco. It had ruined his weak body, making him unable to break free from Yael’s grip.

Yael, on the other hand, was taken aback. He wondered, “Is this Miss Stewart he knew?”

Margaret quickly ordered the maid, “What are you doing standing there? Help Henry break free from those bodyguards.”

The maids hesitated, not knowing whether to obey Margaret’s order. Adriane shot them a cold glance and said, “Think carefully about who you work for before deciding whether to obey that order.”
