Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 79

In this critical moment, Adam's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated it. He tilted his head slightly, and the cold light passed by his neck.

Bang!

At the same time, Joseph leaned backward, kicking his feet forward, violently pushing himself away. His entire body shattered the glass and flew out of the window. He actually took the initiative to jump out!

Although the floor was not high, only four stories, if he didn't adjust his posture well when landing, or if he was unlucky and ended up headfirst, it could be fatal. Adam chased up to the window.

"Drake the Dragon, I'll go after him," Black Dragon quickly rushed over, ready to jump down.

Adam grabbed his arm and said, "No need. Based on his methods, he should be from the Swindlers' Guild. Put away these things and investigate."

Although the opponent might use a fake name, these unique stainless steel playing cards couldn't be faked.

"Damn, this fight is frustrating," Black Dragon complained.

"Don't be angry, Dragon Brother. This guy is just afraid of death and doesn't dare to confront Dragon Brother head-on. Of course, Boss Long is even more formidable. He disabled both his arms in an instant, and I've avenged my arm today," Paul walked over, openly patting Adam's back. Black Dragon glanced at him.

Paul stood proudly, not feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What? Can't people speak the truth anymore?" Black Dragon laughed at him.

This guy annoyed Black Dragon but also made him laugh.

Adam turned and walked towards the exit, saying, "Alright, the matter is resolved. I'm going back now."

"However, based on my deduction, he'd rather expose his unique hidden weapon than stay and answer my questions. He probably has other tasks in Heluo and won't leave for a short time. I'm not worried about Black Dragon, but be careful, Old Zhang."

"Black Dragon, replace out who the person in charge of the Swindlers' Guild in Alameda County is and have him come to report to me."

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Bro."

Black Dragon and Paul replied promptly.

Adam left the building, glanced at the seat where Riya had been sitting earlier - the sofa was empty, and she had already left.

Adam shook his head and left the Tarot Club, taking a taxi back to the hotel.

Entering the room, Katie was organizing documents on the desk.

"Your are back." Katie said without raising her head.

Just this simple greeting suddenly made Adam feel a bit dazed. This ordinary and calm greeting, he had dreamed of it countless times, a sense of tranquility and warmth from home. Because this sentence represented that no matter how late he came back, there would always be a woman waiting for him!

"Hmm. Has Annie gone to sleep?" Adam asked while changing his shoes.

Katie nodded, "Yes, she has."

"By the way, my mom just called me and told me about my cousin. You did nothing wrong in this matter. Thank you," Katie suddenly turned around and said gently.

Adam smiled wryly. "Your parents must blame me, right?"

Katie smiled and said, "I've explained to them. You did it for my sake. Don't worry; I have things under control on my parents' side."

The two chatted briefly, without sweet words or honeyed phrases, but the simplicity made it even more precious.

Because sweet words are like honey - sweet at first, but there's always an expiration date. Simple companionship with plain tea and rice is eternal!

...

...

Early the next morning.

After dropping Annie off at school, Adam and Katie arrived at the company together. As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw a large crowd gathered in front of the building, chaotic like a marketplace. "What's happening?" Katie frowned and stepped forward.

As soon as she entered, someone shouted, "Katie is here, she is Katie!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, everyone turned to look at Katie, and reporters emerged from the crowd, rushing towards her with cameras and microphones, snapping away. "Miss Hartley, is it true that you disdain the poor and favor the rich, refusing to have contact with your cousin?"

"Miss Hartley, as the head of a project worth billions, there should be many job opportunities under you. Why won't you help your cousin with a job?" "Miss Hartley, did your parents really kick your cousin's family out?"

Questions bombarded her like a rapid-fire machine gun.

Katie looked bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening.

At this moment, Amanda and Riya squeezed through the crowd, holding rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, throwing them without hesitation at Katie. Adam, quick-witted, immediately pulled Katie into his arms, shielding her from the projectiles.

In an instant, the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves hit Adam, spreading a foul stench.

"Come and take a look! It's her, Katie Hartley! She disdains the poor and favors the rich, earning money for herself but looking down on us poor relatives." "She would rather support a mentally disturbed little white face than help us even a little."

"They're an ungrateful bunch of white-eyed wolves, kicking us out of their house, watching us mother and daughter sleep on the streets, turning a blind eye..." "Oh god, who can help us?!"

Amanda cried out in a heart-wrenching manner, and those unaware of the truth might think she had suffered a great injustice.

Meanwhile, Riya looked at Adam with complex eyes.

Early morning, Riya woke up in the hospital. After drinking that glass of wine, she quickly lost consciousness, waking up in the early hours to replace herself in the hospital. Later, a doctor told her what had happened...
