The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 761 - 802: Poisoning Adrian Desmond

"What are you standing there for? Are you not listening to me anymore?"

At this moment, Adrian Desmond was eager to see Sienna Johnson, but Adolph Desmond couldn’t understand his current feelings at all and just stood there motionless.

"Sixth Master, actually..." Adolph stammered.

"She’s not on the Unnamed Island, is she?"

Adolph wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to say, "Actually, Madam has returned to Sileria City, and Curly has gone back too."

Adrian narrowed his eyes, looking at Adolph.

Adolph had been a longstanding member of the Desmond family. When he was born, Adolph was already working for the Desmond family. Later, when the Desmond family declined, others left one after another, only Adolph stayed.

This balding, aging man had devoted almost his entire life to the Desmond family.

Usually, no matter how bad Adrian’s temper, he was extremely respectful to him.

"Which one of you is lying? Melanie Carpenter told me that Sienna Johnson was with Xavier Young, yet you just told me Sienna was on the Unnamed Island, and now you’re saying she’s gone back to Sileria City?...

Where on earth did Sienna Johnson go?"

Adrian shouted at the people in front of him, "Bring Walter Klein to me!"

Ferguson saw that Adrian was about to explode with anger, responded immediately, and ran off to find Walter.

...

A modest villa in Abyanabad, just in a very secluded area with a low occupancy rate, so Walter Klein drove the whole way without encountering anyone.

Walter was very low-key, even going out of his way to the Car Rental Agency to rent a very ordinary local car in Abyanabad using a fake identity.

The car drove directly into the villa, and the electronic iron gate closed automatically afterward.

After getting out of the car, someone led Walter inside.

Walter was expressionless as he followed the man upstairs into a sun-lit room.

Inside, it didn’t look like an ordinary bedroom but rather more like a hospital ward, equipped with various medical instruments.

"Boss, Walter Klein is here."

Night Owl looked noticeably thinner, lying on a hospital-grade operating table with a tube drawing blood from his raised arm.

"Boss!" Walter said respectfully.

Walter was actually Night Owl’s man, undercover by Night Owl’s side ten years ago.

In fact, Night Owl knew every move Adrian Desmond made.

Walter was always puzzled about why Night Owl didn’t simply kill Adrian.

"Adrian woke up?"

"Yes!"

Night Owl didn’t hide anything from him, directly saying, "My heart’s faulty, and it needs surgery to replace it."

Walter looked up at the cold and alluring Night Owl, asking, "Is it because you’re missing a heart? I can help you find one."

"Did you forget, I have a twin brother. In this world, is there anything more suitable than his heart?" Night Owl had his sights set on his naive brother.

Walter was aghast inside, knowing that Night Owl intended to use his brother’s heart. How could one live without a heart? That meant his brother would surely die.

"Boss, when do you plan to have the surgery?"

Night Owl’s gaze was cold, with a hint of fatalism, "I’m not planning on the surgery yet!"

"Why not?"

"Even though the heart match is high, since it’s my second heart transplant, the surgery carries more risk. I might die on the operating table..."

"Doctor X has such impressive skills; Boss, you’ll be fine." Walter comforted.

"Every surgery has its risks, especially heart surgeries." His artificial heart had reached its lifespan limit.

Back then, Adrian Desmond had shot him in the heart, leaving his life hanging by a thread, Doctor X hadn’t had time to find a suitable heart then, so they resorted to an ordinary one.

And now, problems had arisen.

Night Owl gave a signal, and a man handed a bottle of medicine to Walter, who caught it, puzzled, and looked at Night Owl.

"What’s this?"

"Poison!"

"Boss, what do you want me to do with this poison?"

"I want you to add it to Adrian Desmond’s food, so he’ll consume it every day."

Walter tightly gripped the bottle in his hand, asking, "Adrian is already injured and weak now, we can simply kill him.

I don’t understand why use poison, killing him directly would be revenge, wouldn’t it?"

Night Owl was pleased with Walter’s loyalty, finally showing a smile.

"I’ve had many opportunities to kill Adrian Desmond, but I don’t want to make it easy for him.

Death is not scary!

To those of us who deserve hell, death is a release.

I won’t let Adrian Desmond die so easily!"

Walter’s phone suddenly rang, scaring him because it was Adrian’s number.

Night Owl saw his nervousness and asked, "Adrian’s call?"

"Yes." Walter’s heart was pounding, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out.

Night Owl laughed, "What are you afraid of? Answer it!"

"Yes!" Walter dared not defy Night Owl’s order, cleared his throat, and answered.

"Sixth Master..."

Before Walter could finish, Adrian interrupted, shouting at him, "I’m at Desmond Manor, get back here immediately!"

"Sixth Master, I’m currently outside, it’s inconvenient right now..."

Adrian hung up the call.

"Sixth Master... Sixth Master..."

Adrian’s roar was so loud earlier that Night Owl had heard it too, and hearing Adrian’s frantic voice brought delight to Night Owl.

"Seeing him getting this worked up must mean he’s found out about Sienna Johnson. Haha... Interesting, very interesting..."

Night Owl’s tone was like someone watching a play, reaching the exciting part.

Walter, however, felt a chill on his scalp, barely able to handle Adrian’s temper.

Walter glanced at Night Owl, cautiously asking, "Boss, regarding Sienna Johnson and Xavier Young, how should I proceed?"

"I want Adrian to misunderstand, to think Sienna Johnson is with Xavier Young!" He wanted Adrian to suffer, to die slowly with a broken heart.

His hand rested over his heart, feeling the increasing frequency of its pain.

Why should Adrian be so lucky? Adrian’s heart took a bullet, and he didn’t die; his own heart took a bullet, and he almost lost his life.

Adrian’s lucky streak was ending!

Carrying that bottle felt like carrying a ticking time bomb, ready to blow him to pieces at any moment.

Ten years, he had been by Adrian’s side for ten years, longer than the time he’d spent with Night Owl together.

He wasn’t entirely devoid of affection for Adrian, even though Adrian had a bad temper and was overbearing, he was still someone who valued relationships.

At least, compared to Night Owl, Adrian was more of a man.

The phone suddenly rang again, this time it was Adolph calling.

Walter cleared his throat and answered, "Uncle Desmond."

"Walter, where in the world are you? Why haven’t you come back yet, Sixth Master is throwing a fit. Hurry up."

"I know, I’ll be back right away."

Adolph asked, "Madam didn’t actually return to Sileria City, did she?"
