Chapter 228


    Adrian left home after that.


    Samantha was originally nning on stopping him but decided against it in the end.


    “Ever since he came home, he seems very confident in himself every time he says he’s going to do


    something…


    Meanwhile, Riley happened to nam into Adrian, thetter having just left the neighborhood.


    She stopped her car and rolled down her window. “Where are you going, Adrian?”


    Seeing Riley, Adrian walked toward her car and said, “I’m just about to head over to Paraiso. What are


    you doing here?”


    “I was just about to go looking for you!


    Adrian gestured and Riley nodded before they left the neighborhood together.


    Inside the car, Riley said as she drove, “Do you know that both Paraiso and the Xander Group have


    been handed over to my Lather and Uncle Wilfred?”


    Adrian nodded his head. “I do”


    Riley continued, “Jaden has booted all of thepany’s investors, turning himself into the second


    largest investor. You know what he’s aiming for, don’t you?”


    Jaden wanted to boost his family’s wealth into bing the strongest throughout all of Southrive by


    using the Xanders as his stepping stone


    Adrian knew this, naturally.


    Riley continued, “Plus, my father’s trying to push me over to Jaden. He wants me to be his partner and


    marry him. I feel like I’m being sold off.


    “Paraiso belongs to your father, Adrian. I doubt he’d be happy if it fell into the Rivers‘ hands.” Inley


    turned to look at Adrian, who remained silent.


    She had conse to seek him out today in the hopes he would be able toe up with something.

    ‘If Adrian can get his hands on Paraiso, I doubt he’d do anything to harm Father or Uncle Wilfred. After

    ‘However, if it falls into Jaden’s hands, the family will be nothing and end up bing like a ve


    to him”

    At that moment, Adrian sneered, causing Riley to purse her lips and say, “Now that Jaden’s in Paraiso,


    he’sid off all the original employees and got people from his family to rece them.


    “He did this because he wants to tum Paraiso into his ownpany. Yet, Uncle Wilfred still trusts him!


    Adrianughed and said, “What kind of man do you think Wilfred is?”


    “He’s aplete idiot without any opinion of his own who only thinks about money all day.”


    “Then none of this is out of the ordinary. Come on, let’s go to Paraiso,” Adrian said.


    “What for?” Riley was confused.


    “We’re going to arrest someone!” Adrian replied.


    Riley was startled for a moment but did not think too deeply into t atter as she drove toward Paralso.


    The pair soon arrived at Paraiso.


    When they entered, a number of employees were carrying their belongings in the office building


    upstairs. All of them seemed


    rather dejected.


    It would seen as though they had beenid off.


    “Uncle Jack? What are you guys doing?” Riley ran toward a middle–aged man who was about in his


    forties.


    The man’s name was Jack Creek. He had been an employee of Paraiso for a long time.


    Jack joined thepany when he was in his twenties and climbed his way up thepany under


    Henry’s leadership. He stayed in thepany after Henry passed, and it was Riley who helped him up


    the corporatedder a good many times.


    When Jacksaw Riley nanning toward him, he said, “Riley?”


    Riley nodded. “What are you guys doing, Uncle Jack?”
