Adrian Law’s handso brows slightly furrowed as he glanced at the girl blocking his way.
His already cool and aloof, strikingly beautiful face seed even colder now, as if the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped a few degrees.
Being only slightly glanced at, the girl inexplicably shivered, feeling constant dread in her heart.
This man’s aura is so strong!
But the arrow was on the string, and there were many acquaintances around, so she had to bite the bullet and throw a flirty wink.
"Hey handso, my na is Rochelle Lynch, want to get acquainted?"
...
Detecting the young master’s displeasure, Wyatt Law glanced disdainfully at Rochelle Lynch who had co to flirt. He edited a ssage on his phone and then imdiately stepped in front of Adrian Law.
"Miss, please have so self-respect."
Wyatt Law was much taller and stronger than most people. His words were polite, but his muscular presence was intimidating.
"Self-respect for what? I’m a decent person."
Rochelle Lynch’s expression flickered, still trying to entice Adrian Law.
But unexpectedly, within minutes, the police in the area suddenly showed up.
"We suspect you’re disturbing public order, please co with ."
The surrounding crowd, witnessing this scene, imdiately started talking among themselves.
What surprised them even more was that, within just a couple of days, Rochelle Lynch was fired from her job!
The reason was misconduct.
Indeed, she used her looks to get by among male bosses, and everyone tacitly disdained her, but who would have thought she’d actually be dealt with.
The incident promptly beca a sensational story, with people silently discussing that Rochelle Lynch had reached a formidable obstacle this ti.
Apparently, the man driving the extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom was definitely soone not to be trifled with!
...
Cecilia Vaughn, however, did not pay much attention to the subsequent developnts, she only casually joked.
"Young Master Law surely has a charm that’s not shallow, attracting admirers as soon as he steps out."
"Were you chard?"
Adrian Law turned his head seriously, his tone seed indifferent, yet every word carried a hint of allure.
Cecilia Vaughn’s throat tightened, as the man’s phoenix eyes stared directly at her, a peculiar feeling welled up from her heart.
It was as if in the entire world, his eyes could only reflect her alone.
Cecilia Vaughn shook her head slightly, not daring to think whether Adrian Law was joking or ant sothing else.
She quickly laughed it off: "How dare I be chard by Young Master Law, otherwise, the rivals in love would surely depress ."
Adrian Law pursed his lips and said nothing.
The air inexplicably felt heavier.
...
Did I say sothing wrong?
Cecilia Vaughn slightly frowned, feeling a bit frustrated that she shouldn’t have joked around just now, and now couldn’t find a way to smooth things over.
The two sat in the back of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, with about half a person’s distance between them.
All the way there was silence, both remaining silent.
On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cecilia Vaughn insisted on printing the marriage agreent first, Adrian Law repeatedly refused, but eventually relented.
However, when he saw the clauses on the contract, his expression, originally cold, instantaneously showed signs of freezing over.
"Is this the agreent you ca up with?"
"Yes, we said yesterday that this marriage is just a transaction for a common goal. For , it solves a vendetta, and you can secure your top spot in The Law Group."
Cecilia Vaughn did not comprehend why The Eldest Young Master Law seed angry again, feeling that the terms were advantageous for both parties.
"First, I don’t need a penny from you. If necessary, we can notarize our properties separately. Whether before or after marriage, I won’t take a cent."
"Second, we’re just in a contract marriage, so naturally, we don’t need to fulfill marital duties. Similarly, if there are entanglents outside, regardless of whether they’re n or won, I won’t interfere and can even act as a shield to clarify any rumors."
"Third, this marriage has a three-year validity period. After three years, we’re both free."
"Except for the marriage certificate being real, everything else is fake. And after divorce, you’re only twenty-nine, having cleared away false rumors. For a man of your worth, it’ll only make you more sought after..."
...
Smiling brightly while recounting the terms one by one, Cecilia Vaughn saw Adrian Law’s brow faintly furrowing, his heart seemingly blocked.
"You want to sever ties with so badly..."
Many would beg to be tied together with him, but Cecilia Vaughn actually...
Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t fathom why Adrian Law was upset now, she could only awkwardly smile.
"How could that be, outside of this fake marriage, we are still allies fighting side by side!"
Not explaining was fine, but the more she explained, the worse it seed.
Adrian Law’s expression grew even darker.
...
Wyatt Law, who was driving in the front, naturally heard their conversation. It was his first ti seeing the young master at such a loss, feeling both amused and a bit pained.
——He originally didn’t have much faith in this contract marriage, thinking Cecilia Vaughn was surely using the young master.
But now it seems he misjudged this future Young Madam from the beginning, needing to reconsider his perception of her.
When saying those things, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t show any interest in the young master himself.
But when ntioning freedom, there was a light in her eyes, a fervor not achievable by re acting.
Not being swayed by the young master’s charm, she was different from the other girls in the past, no wonder the young master looked at Cecilia Vaughn differently.
...
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, Cecilia Vaughn sneaked a glance at the man’s expressionless and handso face, yet didn’t dare to speak.
Just like that, the three continued driving in silence to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
With a dedicated guide, Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law soon arrived at the marriage registration counter.
One was the eldest young master of The Law Group, wealthy enough to rival nations, the other was the long-lost eldest daughter of Radiant Group.
They had already been instructed to handle their marriage certificate secretly, but when the female staff saw them in person, she couldn’t help but be amazed.
These two, handso and beautiful, walking in from outside, were literally a paradise for face-value enthusiasts!
Only, Adrian Law exuded a vibe of keeping strangers at bay, while Cecilia Vaughn maintained half a person’s distance from him, seeming not very close in their relationship.
...
Despite her churning thoughts, the female staff showed nothing and greeted them warmly.
"Would you two like to take a wedding photo first?"
Cecilia Vaughn was montarily stunned, not having processed when she was pulled into the chair by the beaming staff.
Adrian Law also sat beside her, only keeping his distance.
Both wore calm expressions, with no hint of wedding joy.
"Young Master Law, Miss Vaughn, this is a happy wedding day, co a little closer!"
Adrian Law didn’t move, so Cecilia Vaughn had to lean in closer by herself.
Being a face-value enthusiast, the staff instantly beca a fan of their pairing, giggling as she spoke.
"Not close enough, a bit more."
For the first ti, Cecilia Vaughn found taking a photo such a tornt, her ears reddening slightly, thinking about what to do.
The man beside her suddenly pulled her by the waist!
