"Get out!" Kevin’s face darkened.
He and Jessie had not reached that level in their relationship, but he had to admit that he did feel an impulse to do something that night. Still, his rationality overcame his desire in the end.
"Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Here’s what you asked me to look into." Adam knew his temper and didn’t get upset, handing over the investigation results to Kevin.
Kevin’s expression softened a bit. Jessie’s family situation wasn’t complicated. Some of her cousins had indeed made a name for themselves, working as senior executives at the Rossi Group and earning over a million a year. Other than that, some had even already bought houses in the city.
Seeing this, he felt like her relatives were more and more outrageous. Despite having the means, they had seized most of the compensation money from the death of Jessie’s father.
Now, they wanted to exploit her and Laura to pay the down payment of a house, even choosing one from one of the most expensive areas in Grace City.
He had never seen such shameless people. The things they did to Jessie were excessive, but she still had somehow managed to maintain an optimistic attitude and lead a diligent life. The thought of this made Kevin’s heart ache more.
Chewing on the breakfast brought by his assistant, Adam noticed the unpleasant look on Kevin’s face and spoke up, "Heartbroken for your wife, huh? Want me to step in and teach them a lesson?"
“As for matters concerning my wife, I will handle them myself.”
"Alright, alright." He nodded, picking up a small piece of grilled steak. "Want to try some? My chef made it; it’s really good."
"I eat breakfast that my wife makes for me, unlike some people."
The comment left Adam speechless. He frowned, putting down his fork heavily. He had been going on nonstop about "my wife"—what, was he supposed to feel bad for not having one?
