Chapter4: I had to conquer Adam
Three years later, at the airport in The Holy City.
In the lobby, a radio bulletin rang out:
-According to the latest financial news from The Holy City, the Rouco Group bought all the land along Azul region to build a large entertainment venue. It is reported that the area of Azul region is a residential area for the rich. There are many high-end communities and villas. Demolition will be a problem. So, we have the honor to interview the CEO of Rouco Group, Adan Rouco to ask him how he will solve this problem.
Estrella barely got off the plane and was struck by what they were saying on the big screen in the lobby.
On the screen, the man was wearing a gray suit and a white shirt with a black tie at the neckline. His skin was very white, but did not look feminine at all. The features were beautiful. The whole temperament was cold and clear, which was impressive and unforgettable.
The man put his fingers on his thighs, looking at the camera very relaxed, he had a distant smile, he said, -Everyone wants to have a lot of money. Even the rich people who live in the residential area of Azul region. If it is a problem that money cannot solve, it only means that there is not enough money.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The presenter looked at him with admiration and amazement, asked politely with a smile, “So, Director Adam, how long do you plan to finish this large and complicated demolition project?
The man looked at the camera with a sharp look, -Within a week, the Rouco Group will solve all the problems of the residents and carry out the demolition project.
They changed the image. From the image of the man’s beautiful face to the image of Azul’s region. Everything was in disarray. Many residents had already moved out. Many of the houses had already been destroyed by bulldozers, leaving a lot of debris.
The eyes behind Estrella’s sunglasses trembled fiercely.
She focused on the Berrocal family villa on the screen. The family villa that was in the Azul region would also be demolished.
In the camera footage, the reporter asked a fashionably dressed middle-aged “lady”, -Mrs. Doria, you are the owner of the villa. They say you have already negotiated the price and conditions with the Rouco Group, right?
That lady was not someone else, it was her stepmother Doria!
Doria smiled at the camera and said, “The conditions for the demolition offered by the Rouco Group are very generous. Our family will not go against the Rouco Group. Today, we will pack up, hand over the keys and get ready to move in.
Estrella held the cinerary urn tied with a black silk handkerchief in her arms. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles were pale.
Her gaze was very cold. Three years ago, she had not been able to return to that house. But three years later, no one could stop her from taking her father to the Berrocal family!
It was not only a villa in the wealthy area, but also his father’s last refuge!
Estrella clenched her fists and hurried out of the airport with her suitcase.
The blue sky in The Holy City in June was clear. It was totally different from that cold night when she had left the city.
She raised her head and looked at the dazzling hot sun. She reached out to touch the cinerary urn.
“It’s been three years now. Dad, I’m taking you home.”
The horn sounded. The owner of a small white Volkswagen-type car poked her head out and waved enthusiastically, “Star, over here!
Estrella smiled and walked quickly with suitcase. After she got into the car, she barely took off her glasses. Perla began to reproach her.
-Are you really not honest with me? Are we good friends? Three years ago, you went to Paris without telling me, leaving me so lonely for all these years!
Remembering what had happened to her three years ago, she looked down slightly, showing a bit of loneliness in her eyes. And she smiled, “I’m back. In that year, I was too sad.
Perla looked at him with compassion. -During these three years, it was very difficult for you, wasn’t it? You were the daughter of the Berrocal family, but your stepmother and stepsister forced you to be in this difficult situation. You have already lost a lot of weight.
She laughed and shook her head, “It’s no big deal. Fortunately, my father left me one hundred and thirty thousand euros in my account because he was worried if something would happen to me. I realized it later. Although one hundred and thirty thousand euros is not a lot, but it is enough for the expenses during my study in Paris. Sometimes, I worked part-time to send drawings to companies, so I earned some money. Life was not too difficult for me.
Perla said while driving, -By the way, since you just came back to this city, you still don’t have a place to live, do you? Anyway, I live alone and I rent a house with two rooms. If you live with me, you can share the rent.
Perla knew that if she didn’t accept Estrella’s rent, she would surely be ashamed to live with her. This way, Estrella would surely not turn her down.
-Okay. But why do you need to rent a house? Tell me the truth. Did you have an argument with your relatives?
Perla looked at the serious traffic jam in front of them and said, “Well, don’t mention it. My mother urged me to go on blind dates. I really couldn’t stand it, so I moved out of my house. Worst of all, my mother was so angry that she stopped sending me money. What a bad person, right? By the way, you still haven’t found a job, have you?
-No,” Estrella furrowed her eyebrows, “I probably can’t adapt to the art industry in Santa City.
Perla arched her eyebrows triumphantly, “Girl, do you want me to give you a good job?
-If it’s about art, of course it will be great.
-Of course you do! But tonight you have to accompany me to a banquet.
Perla handed her the invitation letter for the banquet. She glanced at it randomly and noticed the guests, there was Adam.
“Tonight, the director Adam of the Rouco Group who wants to buy the land of Azul region is also going to attend the banquet?” she thinking.
Estrella furrowed her eyebrows slightly, asked, “Pearl, do you know Adam?
Perla was surprised and looked at her with a strange look, “Star, it can’t be. Do you like Adam too? Let me tell you. Adam is a very cold man. Even if you are far away from him, you will feel his indifference! The women of The Holy City who want to pursue him already stop doing it because of his indifference! If you want to have a boyfriend, I’ll introduce you to my brother! He’s a good man!
At the thought of her indifferent uncle, Perla felt a shiver down her spine unconsciously.
But… If Estrella made her uncle fall in love with her, she would be very curious to know what her uncle would be like when he was in love.
Estrella frowned more deeply. Just a while ago, she had taken a look at that man. And it gave her an impression that this man was very stern.
It was true.
But she had already lost everything. In order for the Berrocal family villa not to be demolished, she had to “conquer” Adam at all costs!
