Chapter 834
Chapter 834
Adrian returned to his home with a self-confident swagger, carrying the 20 million card. On the back of the card, there was a row of numbers, which was the password.
Although Adrian felt a little bit tipsy, he got the driver to take him to the bank. With trembling hands, he typed the code and found that there was really 20 million in the card.
He was not dreaming!
Thus, when Adrian went back home. Seeing him drunk, Stella was very angry with him.
"You're absolutely useless. Didn't you say that you were going to look for someone to work with? Why are you back like this? Is the cooperation deal done? It can't be that you made up an excuse to get your friends to drink and brag, right?" Stella pointed at him and scolded him angrily.
"Stella, shut up!" Suddenly, Adrian who had never dared not talk back, immediately patted on the armrest of the sofa and stood up. He slapped away Stella's hand which was pointing at him: "If you keep on talking, do you believe that I won't tell you to scram?"
"Ha!" Stella thought that he was going to go insane from the alcohol and immediately became even more furious. She placed her hands on her waist and was about to find something to smash his head, "You dare to point fingers at me?"
Seeing that Stella was about to find something to fight with him, Adrian was afraid. He immediately took out the card from his chest and threw it onto the table. "I have money. You'd better stop looking down on me."
Stella heard him say that he was rich and immediately turned to look at him. She saw the card that he threw on the table.
"Where did this bank card come from?" Stella immediately asked in shock.
One had to know that all of the family's bank cards were under her control. Adrian had to be even more thick-skinned to ask her for money for alcohol and cigarettes everyday.
Adrian tore off the password at the end, so he was fearless. He sneered: "This is a hiring fee from a boss, he’s hiring me to be his company's higher management. Hmph, Stella, no matter what, I'm still a man. If you dare to order me around, I’ll definitely divorce you."
"You're not lying to me again, are you?" It had been a long time since such a good thing had happened on Stella, so she couldn't accept it for a moment.
Adrian sneered: "Why would I lie to you? I've had enough of your control. From today onwards, if you dare to interfere with me again, I will tell you to scram."
In the past, it was because Stella had her eyes on Adrian's money that Stella took the initiative to seduce him. They had no feelings of affection between each other.
Now that Adrian had gone bankrupt, Stella naturally looked down on him from the bottom of her heart. But it was unrealistic for two people to divorce because they have a daughter who needed treatment. They had to live together in a tense relationship.
"How much money is in this card?" When Stella heard about the money, she immediately stopped
spouting nonsense and anxiously asked.
"Much more than you think!" Adrian said arrogantly when he saw that she was flattering him again.
"How much is that? Is it enough for our daughter's treatment fee?" Stella immediately asked anxiously.
"Enough to cure our daughter's illness!" Adrian said very confidently.
"Really?" After Stella heard this, she excitedly walked over, and kissed Adrian on the cheek: "Honey, I knew that you would definitely rise up again. You really did not disappoint me. Previously, it was my fault. I had become so anxious because of our daughter's illness. Don't blame me, alright? I promise that I will take good care of you in the future and listen to everything you say."
Adrian knew that only with money would one have confidence. Seeing Stella's face suddenly change, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He suddenly understood one thing, what Stella loved was never him, but his money.
She was a greedy woman.
His heart felt an indescribable pain as Adrian thought back to his ex-wife who was as gentle as water. She wasn't greedy. She fell in love with him when he was very poor, and fought alongside him. When she was treated unfairly, she never complained. After suffering too much, they managed to live a good life, but he couldn't stand the temptation of the outside world. He actually started to despise her, compared her to the women outside every day, and scolded her for not pleasing him.
Right now, the woman in front of him, made Adrian want to push her away and throw up all of a
sudden.
"Stay away from me!" He seemed to have seen through everything. He suddenly wanted to see his ex- wife. If she was still alive and single, he would definitely go and find her. He would tell her how regretful he was for abandoning her, and how he wished to return to the past.
Seeing him push her away, Stella had a surprised expression. She was also a smart woman and realized that the way Adrian looked at her had changed. She felt anxious.
"Honey, are you still angry with me? Please don't be so mean to me. Tomorrow morning I'll buy you your favourite food, and I’ll guarantee that I will make you happy every day." Stella thought that Adrian was the coaxing man like before and immediately fawned over him.
"Go away!" At this moment, Adrian's heart was in a mess, in great pain. He completely ignored Stella's fawning and shakily went upstairs.
"Honey, can I keep this card for you?" Stella nervously held onto the card and asked.
Adrian suddenly felt that money is noting.
Although he had money, the family was no longer the one he wanted.
Seeing that Adrian was even ignoring him, Stella anxiously frowned: "Honey, let me get you a cup of water."
"Don't bother me!" Adrian went upstairs and roared.
Stella trembled in fear, but she still didn't know what was wrong with this man.
"Stubborn man!" Stella was still angry enough to let out an angry curse.

After Richard finished settling the matter, since he had nothing better to do, he got the assistant to bring some hot drinks over to him and Elizabeth.
"How is the writing going?" Richard stood by her side and held his coffee, watching her practice.
It was slightly better than before.
"Put down your brush and have a cup of fruit tea first!" Richard said softly.
When Elizabeth, whose hands were already sore from writing, heard this, she quickly put down her brush and gratefully took the tea over to drink.
"Richard, your writing is so beautiful!" Elizabeth couldn't help but sigh in admiration from the bottom of her heart.
"It was taught well by my grandfather since I was young!" Richard said somewhat complacently, but after he finished, he felt that there was nothing to be proud of: "My brother's calligraphy is much better than mine."
Hearing his words, Elizabeth immediately laughed: "I've never seen your brother's calligraphy before. I just see that you write very well. If only I could write a good calligraphy piece like you, that would be
great."
"Take your time and practice. One day you'll be good at it!" Richard seemed to be encouraging her.
