Chapter 17

Everyone looked toward Adrian.

There was a three-second pause followed by an explosion of laughter.

“Haha! Adrian, you trash! You’re such a funny man!” Francis held his stomach as he pointed at Adrian with tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.

All the Cowells laughed uproariously.

Simon chastised Adrian, “You said that you were going to get an invitation for the Cowells, but I was the one who ended up getting it. You just love to lie!”

Clara added, “You’re so funny. You, the piece of trash, can get Samantha into the investment conference? What a joke!”

Adaline closed her eyes because she was speechless. Adrian making an outrageous lie like that would just make everyone laugh at him.

Samantha was disappointed again. She felt terrible for leaving Adrian on the streets earlier, but it seemed that he had not learned his lesson.

‘Go on. Laugh. I’ll enjoy the look on your faces on that day,’ Adrian thought.

The laughter finally stopped, then the Cowells looked at him.

Simon said, “Adrian, if you get Samantha a spot at the conference, I’ll get on my knees and call you ‘Daddy.’”

“Stop thinking that you’re an important person. You’re just a piece of trash,” Francis said.

“All right, let’s not waste time with this piece of trash. We’re people that the legate thinks highly of.” Clara sighed and waved her hand.
