CHAPTER 2604
Chapter 2604 “Joshua, I know that you don‘t like me. You even hate me, but if I had any other choice. I
wouldn‘t have looked for you.”
Adrian began to complain, “Some time back, a group called Orming Tech came to Banyan City to do
business. They were looking for a partner and found me. “You know how careful I am. Initially, I never
thought of working with them, but I had no choice. They were great at brainwashing people. After your
aunt was brainwashed, she forced me to invest with her.
“I had a momentary lapse of judgment, so I agreed to it and even invested all of my money in
1. it.
“I initially thought I could earn from that and have a good life with your aunt, but...”
Hearing Adrian‘s words, Joshua narrowed his gaze. He swiftly typed in his computer to search for
Banyan City‘s recent news.
He had not paid attention to things in Banyan City for a long time, but his home base was still in
Banyan City, which was why anything that happened to the malls in Banyan City, someone would
compile a document and send it to him at first notice.
Thus, Joshua could simply look through it and find information on Orming Tech.
Sure enough, the boss behind Orming Tech was none other than the person who was drunk,
unconscious, and under the care of Yannie – Thomas Howard.
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
In fact, since Luna told him about his mother‘s true cause of death and the reason why Thomas hated
him, Joshua had seen this coming.
Due to his mother, since Thomas felt that none of the family members of the Lynch family were good
people when he came to Merchant City to go up against him, he would have gone after Adrian, too.
It was just what he thought.
Thomas used Orming Tech as bait to lure Adrian and his wife in and successfully conned them of their
money.
“Joshua, help me out.”
Seeing Joshua not saying anything, Adrian sighed and continued lamenting, “If Michael wasn‘t in
prison, I‘d still have someone to rely on. But Michael is terrible. He did such a thing... “Joshua, I can
only count on you right now. You don‘t have to give me much; one Fo&{evx< a half million dollars is
enough! One and a half million dollars, and I‘ll never come looking for you anymore. Please!”
Adrian knew that Joshua had been doing quite well in Merchant City for the past year, which was why Têxt © .
he had asked for this amount.
“You have a happy family and are earning lots right now. Just treat it as if you‘re sympathizing with your
old man, please?”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. Listening to his father‘s pretentious voice, he smiled icily. “Sure.” Hearing
him agreeing to it, Adrian was so excited he almost jumped in joy. “Are you certain Joshua? That‘s
amazing! i knew you‘d be as kind as your mother. I knew you‘d care for me!” Upon hearing Adrian
mention his mother, Joshua narrowed his eyes. “I‘ve never met my mother before.”
All thanks to Adrian, might he add. Adrian, on the other end of the line, did not understand the meaning
of Joshua‘s words. He thought that Joshua was just lamenting casually, so he pretended to be sad and
sighed.
“Your mother was a good person. Back then, when I was down on my luck, she was the one who
helped me. Without her...”
Halfway through, Adrian was suddenly at a loss for words. After all, he had no feelings for Rianna at all.
He merely used her for his benefit.
