章 397: Left In The Dark

The living room turned quiet.

Mr. Adams took in another soft gulp, trying to pull himself out of the fire he had just landed himself into. His first intention was to speak to Nicklaus and not Arissa. However, when Nicklaus asks Arissa to tag along, he assumes Nicklaus already told her everything and decides to openly speak to Nicklaus about it.

Clearing his throat, Mr. Adams picked a side and began, "The Lin_"

"Oh! Fuck!" Nicklaus cursed under his breath when Mr. Adams began speaking. He clenched his fist and tried to calm himself down.

Mr. Adams stretched his legs out and continued, "The Lin family buried their head a few days before your wedding to Nicklaus. Zhou Lin, the CEO of the Lin Cooperation has a daughter who would have been given to Nicklaus immediately for marriage but when Alfred proposed to them, they decided to give him a try instead since the benefits that would come from him are higher than that of the Lin family," he explained.
