Chapter 266: Chapter 266: It’s an Opportunity, It’s Fate!
Adam Piers crossed his legs, a girl in his arms, with a cigarette in his mouth. He leaned back on the couch on the second floor of Peach Blossom Cove, drank some wine, and asked the girl next to him, “Do you know this girl?”
“Master Adam, why are you asking about her?” The girl snug in his arms looked at the woman on the video and said with disdain.
“Can’t help it, I just like them wild.” Adam took a deep drag of his cigarette, blew a smoke ring towards the girl, making her tear up, her eyes looking pitifully watery.
She coughed a few times and playfully patted Adam’s shoulder, “Master Adam, you’re so naughty.”
“If I weren’t, would you be here? Tell me, do you know her?” Adam gave her a roguish wink. His handsome face wasn’t quite as good as the second young master, but he still inherited the Piers family’s good looks.
The girl, although unwilling, saw the impatience in the young master’s eyes and quickly answered, “I know her. But her reputation isn’t great lately. Heard she injured her leg and is seeking medical help everywhere. If you really want to see her, I can arrange it.”
...
“Alright.” Adam didn’t pick this girl randomly. He knew she had acted in a show with Ruby Green and even played as her best friend for a while.
As for why only for a while? Friendships in the entertainment industry were always a mystery.
The girl obediently took out her phone and sent Ruby a message.
Ruby Green, after returning from the traditional Flowery medicine clinic, had just thrown another fit of anger. As she fumed, she suddenly saw a message from former “Fox Spirit” lead Charlotte Leigh, feeling strange about why she was reaching out.
Could she possibly be trying to step on her now?
With a cold laugh, she was about to delete the message but then saw the words “Master Adam” and quickly opened it. It said, “Master Adam Piers is having a get-together at Peach Blossom Cove. Interested in joining?”
Ruby was stunned, staring at the screen for several minutes to make sure she was not mistaken, yet she felt suspicious. Even if Adam was hosting a party, why would this woman kindly invite her?
Could she be plotting something? Trying to leverage her notoriety to gain hype for herself?
Despite all the doubts in her mind, Ruby typed, “I’m nearby Peach Blossom Cove. It’s been a while since we’ve met. Let’s catch up, sister.”
Charlotte Leigh sneered at the message. Catch up, sister? Disgusting. Who’s a sister with a disgrace like her? Thinking of Ruby’s scandalous video from the other day made her sick.
Despite her disdain, Charlotte quickly replied, “Come quickly then,” and then sycophantically looked at Adam, “Master Adam, Ruby will be here soon.”
Adam slapped Charlotte’s butt, “Good job. Now let me give you a kiss.”
“Ah, Master Adam, there are people here,” she said playfully.
“The more, the merrier.” Adam replied, and the room erupted in cheers.
Charlotte played coy, making Adam’s heart itch.
The others weren’t far behind, reveling in their hedonistic escapade.
…
Green’s Mansion.
After putting down her phone, Ruby Green felt a surge of uncontainable excitement.
Today’s invitation from Charlotte Leigh was the best news she had received in a while.
She had been worried about how to get close to Adam but now it seemed like a blessing from the sky.
Her earlier irritability vanished. She quickly asked her driver to take her to get styled.
Rose Taylor, upon learning the situation, felt a bit worried, “Ruby, you just had acupuncture today. Your leg is only slightly better. How about finding another opportunity?”
She found the timing too coincidental.
Especially after Ruby’s hotel scandal broke the other day, followed by her engagement announcement with Clark Stone yesterday, even if she sought out the Piers’s young master now, she feared she wouldn’t be taken seriously.
But Ruby didn’t think that. She felt it was an opportunity, a sign from the heavens.
Her leg was just a bit better, and as long as she wore a long skirt and walked slowly, the limp wouldn’t be noticeable.
And once she met Adam, she would find a way to make him fall for her…
