Take My Breath Away-Chapter 1461 Extra Story About Adkins (Part Two)
"Excuse me, Miss Ren. Would you please tell me what the sentence for going through someone else's belongings without their knowledge and consent is?" Erica asked.
For a moment, Mollie looked stunned, but she responded duly, "That would be considered an invasion of personal privacy. Under normal circumstances, a defendant would be required to pay damages to the victim, but under severe circumstances, the defendant could face up to a maximum of three years' imprisonment or detention."
Erica picked up the purse next to her and placed it on top of the table before her.
"Do you recognize this purse?" she asked. Of course, Mollie recognized the purse. After all, it belonged to her!
"I found this purse in my son's room. I know my son well; he must have looked through it and, consequently been in violation of your privacy. What would you charge him with, Miss Ren?" It was becoming increasingly clear that Erica was doing everything in her power to make her son's relationship with Mollie work.
Mollie's cheeks blushed red instantly. After an awkward pause, she mumbled, "Mrs. Huo, he won't be facing any charges as I was the one who accidentally left it..."
"No!
He must be punished!" Erica said firmly. Mollie had feelings for Adkins, and moreover, he was now the ruler of H Country. How could a mere lawyer like her file a lawsuit against him? She began to wonder if Erica had just come here to make things difficult for her.
The nervousness that was displayed on Mollie's face amused Erica quite a lot. "In my opinion, you should sentence him to a lifetime of imprisonment, if you know what I mean," she said with a cheeky wink.
Mollie was completely dumbfounded as she couldn't believe what she had just heard. All her cleverness and eloquence in court had evaporated into thin air. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚
"Let's just cut to the chase, dear. Among the quadruplets, only Adkins is single now. I would be lying if I told you that I haven't been doing my own research. I know that the two of you were in the same class more than ten years ago. I also know that the girl he took to see the starry night sky was you," said Erica.
It was quite clear that Erica had conducted an extensive and detailed investigation about the two of them. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
Matthew used to take her to that place as well. This one time when they both went there again, the person taking care of the place told them that Adkins had brought a girl there.
Before Mollie could say anything, Erica continued, "I've already checked his schedule. Adkins is expected to arrive in the city tomorrow and he will be staying at the six-star hotel in the city center."
Mollie didn't know how to respond as she was both moved and unsettled. After a while, she said, "Auntie, then you must have heard that... I am already engaged..."
"Yes, I have. You don't have to worry about that because I happen to know your fiance's mother. I've already arranged for some beautiful girls for your so-called fiance to go on blind dates with. You can consider the engagement cancelled. You will receive a call from your ex-fiance tonight to finalize the details," said Erica. Erica was like an unstoppable train. Now that she had made up her mind to pair Mollie with her son, she was hell-ben
a rare look in his eyes. "Well, now that you're already here, it's too late to think about it." Before she knew, the man lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
He wasn't going to let her go now that she had come to him on her own.
Adkins' secretary, however, stood outside the door anxiously because his boss was supposed to be at a very important dinner party that night. Even he didn't have the courage to knock on his door.
The only occupants of the master suite were a man and a woman. It wasn't very hard to imagine what was going on inside.
About an hour later, Adkins opened the door and walked out, neatly dressed and looking fresh. The way he carefully shut the door behind his back indicated that he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping woman inside.
Taken by curiosity, his secretary secretly looked him up and down. His usual serious expression was now full of joy and he wasn't wearing the same clothes he was wearing before Mollie arrived. In fact, it was quite clear that he had just taken a shower.
Three months later, Adkins got married. The wedding was deliberately kept low-profile and the only people on the guest-list were either family or close friends of the family. The name, identity and profession of his wife were kept out of the general public's knowledge for the sake of privacy.
However, Adkins was always seen with a woman after that and when someone would ask about the woman's identity, his secretary would simply answer—"Mrs. Huo."
As time went by, people eventually came to see that Adkins and his wife loved each other very much. In fact, they were inseparable.
Besides, there was a female lawyer in the ZL Group's legal team. Even Boswell Huo, the CEO of the company, had a lot of respect for her. Only a few of his assistants knew that the female lawyer was actually their CEO's sister-in-law.
After all, she was the only employee of the company that could come and go with Adkins as she pleased. Why else would the boss give her that privilege if she weren't important to his family?
Eventually, more and more people came to know about Adkins' wife, the remarkable lawyer, named Mollie Ren.
