Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 649: I Just Want to Argue with You

Anyway, with Adrian Zhekova defending Cindy Clarke, even if Cindy was just Adrian’s lover, just for thinking about taking Adrian’s woman, Edward Lopez was screwed.

Edward Lopez struggled to say, “No, no, Master Adrian, it was all a misunderstanding, just a little misunderstanding.”

Yannick O’Brian wasn’t afraid to offend Edward Lopez and directly approached him, saying, “I know what happened.”

Although he wasn’t present when the situation happened at the door, he heard about it from Cynthia Florine, so Yannick O’Brian was able to recount the story.

“This guy just presented an award to Cindy Clarke onstage. Cindy got annoyed by his harassment, so she told him that she was already married and had children. Edward Lopez didn’t believe her, thinking that Cindy was lying to him. So, he claimed that Cindy first insulted him by using her mobile phone running out of battery as an excuse, and now she was using marriage as an excuse to insult him.”

Parker Honi twitched the corner of his eyes. Yannick O’Brian, you are also a trust-fund baby.

Such a bootlicker, so embarrassing!

“So that’s how it is.” Adrian Zhekova didn’t care about Edward Lopez and turned to Cindy Clarke, “So when you called me earlier, your speech hesitated because you originally wanted to tell me, but then you changed your mind?”

Cindy didn’t expect Adrian to be so attentive and notice even that small detail.

Cindy nodded and said, “Weren’t you rushing over here? Since you were already anxious, I was afraid that telling you would make you even more anxious.”

After all, it was her who was being harassed by Edward Lopez here, and with Wendy Clarke present, it was a double threat. It would be strange if Adrian Zhekova didn’t worry.

Adrian Zhekova looked at her disapprovingly and said, “But I still heard it, and I didn’t know what was going on. Knowing that something was wrong, but not knowing what it was, made me even more anxious.”

Cindy thought about it and agreed, she said apologetically, “Next time something happens, I’ll make sure you know right away.”

Adrian Zhekova was pleased and smiled, nodding his head, “That’s a deal.”

Cindy nodded and said, “Yes.”

The two of them spoke as if no one else was around, seemingly forgetting Edward Lopez’s existence.

Edward Lopez’s heart was pounding, wondering if that meant this matter would just pass as it was.

But Adrian Zhekova had not forgotten at all; he now focused his attention on Edward Lopez.

“Edward Lopez, right?” Adrian Zhekova said coldly, “I’ll remember you.”

Edward Lopez almost knelt down: “Master… Master Adrian!”

Adrian Zhekova didn’t listen to his explanation: “Cindy Clarke is my wife, and you dare to have designs on my wife. I haven’t seen such a daring person in a long time, you have a bright future.”

“I… I… I was just out of my mind,” Edward Lopez quickly said.

At this point, he couldn’t care about keeping up his appearance or his dignity.

As long as Adrian Zhekova didn’t hold a grudge against him and didn’t go against the Lopez Family because of this, he would even kneel down to Adrian Zhekova now.

As for how Cindy managed to marry Adrian Zhekova and become Mrs. Zhekova, Edward Lopez had no time to think about it.

Wendy Clarke, who was next to them, was completely stunned. She looked at Cindy Clarke incredulously.

How could it be that Adrian Zhekova said Cindy was his wife? Impossible!

How could Cindy have such a good fortune!

When she first arrived in Belfard penniless, she became a famous internet celebrity blogger, and then, as a small-time internet celebrity blogger, she successfully married into one of the Big Eight families, the Zhekova Family, one of the top families in Hearth Nation.

Wendy was about to go crazy!

She couldn’t understand why it was so difficult for her to gain a foothold in the ultra-rich circle of Belfard, even with her goal of marrying into a wealthy family. She couldn’t even dream of a family with such a deep heritage, let alone the Big Eight families.

In her heart, marrying into an ordinary wealthy family was enough, but even that was quite difficult.

But Wendy just found out that what she didn’t dare to dream of, Cindy had achieved!

At this moment, Wendy’s facial features were twisted.

Her face was full of jealousy and hatred as she stared at Cindy, relying on Edward Lopez to shield her from being seen by Cindy and Adrian Zhekova.

Thinking about it, Wendy’s heart was filled with even more hatred.

She couldn’t even let Adrian Zhekova and Cindy see her hatred.

How stifled she was living now!

Not only Edward Lopez and Wendy Clarke, but everyone present was stunned.

Adrian Zhekova was actually married!

And his wife was none other than Cindy Clarke!

Some people thought of more things, remembering that before the competition, both Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone had mentioned Cindy having some background and connections.

But no one thought that Cindy’s background was so big, and her relationship with Adrian Zhekova was not an ordinary one, but they were husband and wife!

The entrepreneurs and investors present were all shocked and regretful.

Just now, they had been introduced to talk with the top ten contestants tonight, but they had focused their attention on the people of Pingla Academy.

No one cared about Cindy.

They thought that Cindy had no background, an ordinary upbringing, and nothing worth getting to know. There were no interests on her that they needed to worry about.

So they ignored her.

Such disregard was even quite impolite.

Who would have thought that the person they neglected was Mrs. Zhekova!

They were now truly regretful, very regretful!

If only time could turn back, they would not neglect Cindy, they would be particularly polite.

Unfortunately, time could not be turned back, and it was too late to regret what they had done now.

Now they couldn’t even make up for it and greet and chat with Cindy, because they simply couldn’t get past

And they had just offended her. If they suddenly changed now, it would be even more unpalatable and would backfire.

Adrian Zhekova held onto Cindy’s hand and said to Edward Lopez, “You’d better go home and inform your father in advance, so that if something happens to your family’s company, he won’t be caught off guard.”

Then he asked Cindy, “Are you done with handing out the awards here?”

Yannick O’Brian had just mentioned that Edward Lopez had given an award to Cindy, which disgusted Adrian Zhekova.

He should have come earlier, so that Cindy wouldn’t even have to be upset when receiving the award.

Edward Lopez’s face was pale as a sheet, not caring about being embarrassed or not at this point, with a trembling voice, he said, “Master Adrian, I was wrong, I failed to recognize a great person like you. Please be big-hearted and don’t hold it against me, don’t stoop to my level.”

Adrian Zhekova didn’t care about his spiel. He didn’t need a face when dealing with people. He said coldly, “Don’t you know? When it comes to holding grudges, I’m a petty person. I don’t want to let you go; I just want to stoop to your level.”

“Master Adrian, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I didn’t know that Cindy… ” As Edward Lopez spoke, he suddenly turned and glared at Wendy Clarke with venom.
