The four million and five hundred thousand dollars from Mandy was sufficient for Bailar to continue its development.
Meanwhile, Adrian followed Samantha wherever she went over the next two days. He would even wait for her while she was in
business discussions.
At first, Samantha was slightly weirded out that he followed her everywhere, but after two days, she got used to his presence. In fact, his presence made her feel a little safer. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the past, she would always be afraid that the people she met up with for business discussions would have malicious intentions toward her. However, that changed now that Adrian was around.
One evening after Samantha was done with a very exhausting day, she received a phone call when she was about to pack up and leave the office. She answered and found that it was from Cassey.
“Sam, Mario and I will be getting married two days from now. I’ll forego the part where I send you an official invitation, but make sure you arrive early that morning. You’re going to be one of my bridesmaids.”
Samantha frowned when she heard this. In truth, she did not wish to have any sort of interaction with Cassey, but Adrian had agreed to attend Cassey’s wedding on her behalf.
She helplessly said, “Sure thing, Cass. I’ll be sure to be there.”
“See you
there. Don’t skip out on me. All of our friends will be waiting for you.”
Cassey hung up after that, and Samantha let out a sigh.
Next to her, Adrian asked with a confused expression, “What’s the matter?”
Samantha shot a glance at him. “This is all your fault. Why did you have to agree to go to Cassey’s wedding? She’s clearly trying to humiliate me.”
Adrian instantly recalled what had happened a while back.
‘Oh, that’s right. Cassey did indeed invite Sam to her and Mario’s wedding.‘
Since it was not going to be a big issue, he smiled and said, “I’ll be there with you, so there’s nothing for you to worry about. Wear that necklace I bought you and I’m sure you’ll be free from any sort of humiliation.”
“Are you talking about the fake Heart of the Sea?” Samantha rolled her eyes, pulling out the necklace from around her necklace. “I’m not wearing this to the wedding. It’s a fake after all.”
Samantha looked like she was about to rip the necklace off, but Adrian quickly stopped her. “Don’t do that. I went through a lot of trouble to get it for you, so please just leave it on.”
Feeling helpless, Samantha chose not to say anything more.
It was already night by the time they arrived home, and Rue already had dinner prepared for them.
Rue was talking to Adaline, who was packing her luggage. She looked like she was about to leave home.
“Where’s Ada going, Mother?” Adrian asked as he looked at his little sister.
“Are classes starting already?” Samantha asked too.
Rue nodded. “Your sister’s about to start classes. She has to get to the campus and report in by tomorrow. Since it’ll be rather inconvenient for her to travel between places, I told her to stay on campus instead.”
Meanwhile, Adaline lips were pursed. She turned to look at Samantha and said, “Honesty, I don’t want to stay there. The living conditions there are horrid. Plus, I might end up becoming the laughing stock.”

Adaline knew that others at the university would laugh at her. She just did not know how many would gang up on her.
