Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2832: Chapter 2841: Things Didn’t Go the Way She Wanted

Baron Lawrence looked at her with mocking eyes, his lips curling into a cold arc.

Such a poor performance, it’s truly baffling why Adam Sinclair fell for it at eighteen. He’s seen no fewer than a hundred women like Renee Anderson.

It’s always the same deceitful faces, just seeing them is enough to make one sick.

Fortunately, Enna Clark is not like that.

Thinking of Enna, his gaze softened considerably, and when he looked at Renee again, he became even colder and more impatient.

Damn it, does she know she’s awake? Is she feeling unwell anywhere? Is the doctor by her side? Does she know she’s pregnant?

His thoughts had drifted eight hundred meters away, wishing he could return to the hospital immediately.

As he glared at Renee, his voice grew sharper and more impatient, ”Are you guilt-free? Were you guilt-free when you drugged him? Don’t tell me you drugged him just to sleep with Adam Sinclair.”

Simple enough, brutal enough!

That’s Baron Lawrence!

But also direct enough!

His words cut straight into the flaws of Renee’s story, targeting the parts she desperately wanted to hide.

Renee’s face turned pale, yet she stubbornly refused to admit, ”I didn’t know the drink was drugged, I just saw him drunk and couldn’t leave him, so I brought him here.”

”Ha.” Baron Lawrence sneered carelessly and questioned her, ”So what you’re saying is you didn’t want to sleep with Adam, it was that male bartender who wanted to sleep with him. After drugging him, you took advantage?”

”I...” Renee was left speechless by his sharply pointed question.

Adam Sinclair already knew deep down what had happened. Even though he currently lacked evidence to prove nothing had occurred with Renee, he was certain the drug was undoubtedly administered by her.

The method was likely what he had previously speculated: she bribed the bartender before he went to the bar and drugged his glass or the drink itself.

”Renee, I’ll ask you one more time, do you want that 750 thousand?” Adam interjected with a stony expression, ”You can choose not to take it, but this is all I will give you, nothing else, no promises either.”

He wasn’t devoid of women before, but after meeting Olivia Lewis, he’d had no others.

It’s not that Olivia controlled him, it’s that he himself had lost interest in other women.

He didn’t believe he had been involved with Renee.

He knew very well what Renee wanted, merely trying to make him responsible.

Not to mention he has Olivia now, he can’t be responsible. Even if he hadn’t met Olivia before, being calculated like this, he could never be responsible!

”I don’t want it, what I want is not this. I...”

Adam interrupted her, standing up, looking down arrogantly, ”I remember before I lost consciousness, I said don’t make me look down on you!”

”I’ll have the secretary send that 750 thousand to you, and I’ll keep investigating the matter. I hope you will no longer appear in my world.”

”...” Renee’s lips trembled, her pupils shook violently.

What she wanted was not this outcome, what she wanted was for Adam to feel guilty towards her. Even if he didn’t feel guilty, out of responsibility to a childhood sweetheart, he would waver in his attitude towards her.

Rather than telling her so straightforwardly that he didn’t believe they had a relationship, and even if they did have a relationship, he could give money, but nothing else. He didn’t want to see her again in the future!

”Consider it yourself carefully.”

After speaking, Adam turned to look at the distinguished man, and said wearily, ”Baron, let’s go.”
