Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 428: Journey to Colorado…

"Alright." Adrian’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, but instead of handing the phone to Melody, he tossed it aside and directly reached out to push open the bathroom door.

As the gap in the bathroom door widened, Melody finally saw the man standing outside.

Seeing the man, Melody was immediately aware of what was happening.

She stared at him in shock, "Luna didn’t actually call me, did she?"

"No." Adrian admitted directly, pushing the bathroom door open wider and stepping inside.

Melody looked at the man stripped of his clothes, her face flushed as she cursed, "Adrian, you! Pervert! Wolf!"

"Yes, but only towards you, Melody. Plus, you’re leaving tomorrow; I’m going to be abstinent for the next three days."

Adrian said as he pulled Melody into his arms, lowering his head to capture her enticing lips...

That night, inevitably, Melody fell into the hands of the hungry wolf, indulging in his extreme gentleness all night long.

However, the next morning when Melody was leaving, she did manage to persuade Adrian, and only took Barrett with her on her journey to Colorado...

At the border of Colorado stands a magnificent building.

This building belongs to the well-known businessman, William Glover, of Colorado.

Ten years ago, William Glover was a notorious underworld kingpin and a major drug lord.

Back then, he was infamous for smuggling and drug trafficking.

Ten years later, in the eyes of outsiders, he has no connections whatsoever to being a smuggler or underworld kingpin.

He’s a proper businessman, a real self-made entrepreneur who contributes to the local economy as a philanthropic businessman.

This year, William Glover is almost sixty.

Though he’s moved away from the underworld and onto the right path now.

But those long-acquainted with the underworld know that thirty years ago, William Glover was the most formidable, an almost untouchable drug lord in the Golden Triangle.

He was born into the underworld, his family dealing in shadowy businesses for generations.

Over a decade ago, he made himself disappear from the crime world.

Later on, he changed his name and went legit, doing business in Colorado, completely leaving behind the underworld life.

In the luxurious office at the top of this splendid building, the nearly sixty-year-old William Glover sat steadily on a large chair, holding a cigar.

Beside him stood a tall man.

The man’s handsome face radiated a cold murderous aura as he looked at William Glover, asking unwillingly, "Uncle, have you not made up your mind yet?"

William Glover took a puff of his cigar, looking at the man, he said, "I’m just a legitimate businessman now, I have no interest in those things you mentioned."

"Uncle, even if you’re not involved in the underworld now and have gone clean, you can’t possibly not want money, right? As long as you agree to do as I say, all that wealth will be ours." The man looked at William Glover, speaking with conviction.

Standing for quite a while, the man moved to sit beside William Glover.

As the man moved, his uneven limbs were fully exposed.

Revealing the man’s identity — previously coerced into having prosthetic legs, he almost died in Whitehill, and after being forced with no retreat, disappeared in Mexico was none other than Virgil Davies.

It turns out that after leaving Mexico, Virgil came here.

And William Glover is his uncle. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Virgil’s mother, Mistress Jade, originally named Isabella Glover, is William Glover’s biological sister...

Over forty years ago, William Glover and Isabella Glover’s parents were killed in a gang battle for power.

William Glover and Isabella survived this ordeal, but without their parents’ protection, life was incredibly tough for them.

To survive, William took on menial tasks to climb the ranks, while Isabella wanted no part in the dark gang life.

She didn’t want to live a life constantly filled with fights, uncertain of her next moment alive.

So she left her brother and hometown, heading to Europe...

A few years later, the ruthless and cunning William had climbed to a significant position in the gang; it wasn’t long before he took out the original boss, successfully becoming the new underworld leader.

Under William’s leadership, the gang rapidly rose, becoming the most powerful in the Golden Triangle, and William became the most formidable drug lord.

After rising in power, William sent people to find Isabella.

But Isabella was not ready to abandon the stability she was about to achieve, so she didn’t return to her brother’s side.

Seeing Isabella wouldn’t come back, William didn’t force her.

Just like Isabella, he no longer wanted to live life on the knife’s edge.

If Isabella’s plan had succeeded, he could have washed his hands of the business along with her and left the shadowy life behind completely.

To that end, he could finally stand in the sunlight, breathing fresh air, without having to sneak around like a rat, evading international police pursuit.

Initially, Isabella’s plan worked, but before he could take the opportunity to clean up his act, Isabella was completely defeated and died with it.

Nonetheless, without Isabella, after years of struggle and faking his death during an international police chase, William managed to go into hiding.

By the time he appeared again to the public eye, he was no longer the infamous Edward Glover of the Golden Triangle, but the renamed William Glover, a proper businessman.

After Mistress Jade’s death, Virgil brought some of his people and fled to Mexico, becoming a gang leader there, without staying in touch with his uncle.

However, after his entire power was eradicated by Adrian and after he barely escaped from Whitehill having nowhere else to go, he came here to seek refuge with his uncle.

As the only child left by Isabella, Virgil coming to seek refuge meant that William was bound to take him in.

But Virgil didn’t come here just for a peaceful life.

He wants revenge, to reclaim everything that belonged to him, to ruthlessly crush Adrian beneath his feet, returning every humiliation Adrian inflicted upon him, and to humiliate Adrian to death.

After arriving, Virgil divulged to William about his grudge with Adrian, about Melody’s identity, and the endless wealth of Whitehill.

He hopes to persuade William, to use William’s influence, and have him join in seizing Whitehill’s wealth with him.

However, after many attempts, William remained unmoved.
