Reiss was forced to continuously back away until she was trapped in a corner without anywhere else to go.
Adrian made his way to Reiss and asked, “What’s going on?”
“You You’re a monster. I watched you kill my younger brother with my own eyes!”
“Younger brother?
Adrian was flabbergasted. “Thomas is your younger brother?”
At this point, Adrian understood everything. He said, “In that case, Seth must be your younger brother too.”
Reiss gave no reply but her gaze was filled with frustration. She was telling Adrian with her expression that something was about to happen
Noticing Reiss‘ terrified state, Adrian tucked away the long hair that covered her face with one hand and said, “I had no idea you have two younger brothers.
“Why are you scared? Are you afraid of me? Adrian asked.
Reiss shuddered, unable to conceal the fear she felt in her heart.
Noticing that Reiss was quiet, Adrian said casually, “Tell me. What happened? I can see that you’re not afraid of me but of someone else.
“Tell me I’ll protect you.”
His extremely gentle tone relaxed Reiss ever so slightly. She was no longer as anxious as before.
She looked at Adrian with her tear–reddened eyes and said in a horse voice, “They know that you killed my brother so they sent me to get close to you and kill you. But I don’t want to kill you.”
“They? Who are they?” Adrian asked.
“My father and Don Roman.”
“Your father?”
Adrian appeared rather surprised because he had not expected Reiss to tell him this piece of information.
Adrian inhaled a deep breath and looked at her as he said, “Why are you telling me that your father wants to kill me? I caused Seth’s death and just killed Thomas earlier.”
“They’re my stepmother’s children so they’re unrelated to me. I just want to live a life in peace!” Reiss said as tears streamed down her face
Adrian was enlightened. He knew that Reiss lived with her grandmother in Southrive when they were in high school. Otherwise, they would not have crossed paths there.
Reiss‘ mother passed away when she was very young and her father remarried. Seth and Thomas were her stepmother’s
children.
Reiss‘ father was furious after learning about Seth’s passing, and thus, sought out Roman’s help. In the end, they came up with a plan to send Reiss to get close to Adrian and seize the opportunity to kill him so they could avenge Seth.
Hence, Reiss cante.

Reiss witnessed Adrian killing Thomas by chance after she was sent here so she followed him. But in truth, she was at a loss
for what to do.
Upon hearing this, Adrian held Reiss” shoulders and said, “Were you sent here by Homan and your father?”

Reiss nodded and answered, “They know that we used to go to the same high school so they want me to get close to you and find a chance to kill you.
“It was Don Roman’s order. If I don’t do it, he will beat me to death”
“Does your father not mind that?” Adrian asked.
Reiss shook her head. “My father has been reckless with greed from the start. All he cares about are his two sons while I’ve been living in my grandmother’s house all along. She passed away recently.”
Crack!
Adrian’s knuckles let off a pop from him clenching his fist tightly. He found it difficult to stay calm upon hearing Reiss‘ story.
He inhaled a deep breath but he did not comment further, while Reiss stared at Adrian as she shook from head to toe, She was scared out of her wits when she witnessed Adrian killing Thomas.
However, it was at this very moment that a Mercedes Benz suddenly drove past at full speed. The car’s sunroof was open and a middle–aged man stuck out his head from the sunroof with a gun in his hand.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot was heard and the bullet flew toward Heiss.
“F*ck, you stupid b*tch! How dare you defy Don Roman’s orders! Go to hell!” the middle–aged man cussed in anger. The bullet traveled in Reiss’s direction at full speed.
