Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1653

"I've told you many times, nothing in this world comes easily. As a businessman, if you want something from me, you must be prepared to give something in return."

Wesley looked coldly at Adler, who stood below him, and said, "You are my son. Even if I don't like you, you have the same blood running through your veins as I do. If you want Jenna, then you must listen to me."

At this, Wesley rose from his chair, slowly walked over to Adler, patted him on the shoulder, and continued, "Adler, you've grown up. As my son, you should carry on the will of the Tredgold family. I know you're capable. Together, we can build our own business empire, no longer overshadowed by the four great families, no more bowing down to the Costellos. We won't be the weakest among them anymore. Adler, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Looking into Wesley's eyes, which for once showed a hint of affection, Adler felt it was nothing but a facade.

If this man truly cared, he wouldn't have left him to fend for himself for over twenty years.

"You never hugged me before, nor acknowledged me. I don't need your recognition now, nor do I need your business empire."

Adler shrugged off Wesley's hand, stepped forward, and pressed a knife against Wesley's throat, then swiftly moved behind him to ensure he wasn't hit by Reece.
