"Emma, stop it. Don't you want to get married? I'll compensate you. I can marry you."
"Even though you were in prison for three years, I'll still be the one to marry you."
I laughed when I heard that, but my tears kept flowing.
I tried my best to push him away.
"Adrian, what makes you think I would want to marry you now?"
"I don't want to see you again. I'm here today to take back what I used to have."
Adrian looked stunned for a few seconds. I had always appeared gentle before him, never speaking to him in such a tone.
I walked straight out, but Adrian quickly caught up.
Before I could turn back, he had already pinned me tightly in his arms.
His tone was slightly angry.
"Emma, only I can say we're breaking up. We will get married."
"I will explain to the media that you and Ace are best friends. You went to prison three years ago to protect her, accidentally killing someone. This way, you'll appear in the public eye positively."
Looking around at the European-style decorations Ace preferred, I muttered,
"Adrian, your company is expanding its financing, right?"
Before I went to prison, Adrian was already known as a business prodigy.
