Bab 323: Drop your act

Adrian flicked Jeremiah's collar, discreetly shoving him away. 

Jeremiah stumbled a few steps back before he crashed on the floor with a loud 'thud' near Elder Hall's feet. 

Ruby gasped. 

''My hand slipped,'' Adrian shot her an apologetic look but the moment his eyes returned to Jeremiah, his gaze turned cold. 

"_" Liar

Elder Hall plastered a huge smile on his face, ''Lady, slipping of hand is a very natural thing. One cannot control it. You need not be upset about it.''

Ruby's lips twitched. 

Elder Hall quickly picked up the jewel boxes that fell from Jeremiah's grasp, looking at Adrian with sparkling eyes. 

Jeremiah disguised the venom in his gaze, ''Are you my brother-in-law?" he softened his tone. 

Adrian's jaws clenched, ''You heard that?" he narrowed his eyes at Ruby. The bonehead had the audacity to address him as such.
