Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Just tornt !
After Bertha Swift finished speaking, she saw that Adam Piers was not moving. Just then, there was a noise from the elevator direction, which made Bertha Swift anxious. Without thinking much, she rushed up and pushed Adam Piers with her hands.
This push was too hasty, directly hitting the man’s towel. Because Adam Piers had been moving a lot earlier, concerned that Bertha Swift was about to leave, the towel was already a bit loose. Suddenly being hit hard, it fell open.
The change happened too quickly, and Bertha Swift’s eyes widened in shock. Then, her pretty, fair face flushed a deep red as she quickly turned around.
Adam Piers clearly didn’t expect Bertha Swift would suddenly make a move. He was first stunned, then pressed the towel at his waist and laughed lightheartedly, letting out a hint of teasing pleasure. The previous jealousy dissipated as he pulled Bertha Swift back into the room and, in the process, locked Ray Leighton, who stood outside pretending to look invisible with his eyes downcast, out of the room.
As soon as she was pulled inside, Bertha Swift was pressed against the door. She closed her eyes, not daring to open them, feeling the warm breath of the man on her cheeks. Then she heard the man laughing even more, and she opened her eyes in annoyance, hurriedly closing them again before she could see clearly, “Is it that funny? Adam, cover yourself with the towel!”
“Weren’t you the one who pulled off my towel? Why suddenly want to cover it up again? I thought you wanted to see.” Adam Piers’ voice carried its usual teasing mischief, making Bertha Swift both shy and resentful as she heard it.
She stomped her foot, “Who wants to see! There’s nothing to look at!”
“I have many good things to look at, do you want to see?” Adam Piers deliberately misinterpreted Bertha Swift’s words, the corners of his mouth curving upward, completely forgetting his previous jealous deanor. He even lowered his voice intentionally, with an infinitely seductive tone.
Bertha Swift didn’t expect Adam Piers to be so thick-skinned, claiming he has many good things to see. What good things could a big man like him have?
But as she thought about it, her mind inadvertently replayed the scene she just saw. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, she had to admit this man did have sothing worth looking at.
Thinking of this, Bertha Swift unconsciously pursed her lips. Her already excessively beautiful face, dyed with a delicate pink, beca unknowingly enchanting with this action.
Adam Piers was utterly captivated by Bertha Swift. Watching her attractive deanor, his throat turned dry. He lowered his head for a brush of his lips against hers, his voice tinged with a bit of hoarseness, “Bertha Swift, you still say you’re not tempted by . I can see you are!”
“I am not…” Bertha Swift denied anxiously, but couldn’t help worrying inside. Did she really give herself away?
As she was fretting, Adam Piers’ laughter sounded above her head again, “You still say you’re not. I clearly see you’re so tempted by . Why not just admit it? I can reluctantly sacrifice myself?”
“Shaless!” Bertha Swift retorted angrily at Adam’s words, her head snapping up with the insult, only for her nose to brush against the man’s lips. Her heart trembled, and she quickly turned her head to the side, only to have it held in place by Adam’s large hand.
Forced to keep her head up facing him, Bertha Swift complained, “What are you doing? Adam, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, but I don’t agree to just let you do those things…”
“Do what things?” Adam asked knowingly on purpose.
Bertha Swift bit her lip in frustration, her eyes blazing with a redness, signaling spring’s arrival, unnoticed by her, which made Adam’s heart sway. He could hardly resist the urge to devour her.
Back when Bertha Swift was under the influence of dication, she was not in her right mind, but he was clear-headed and knew her essence well. Now, the desire cooled by the cold shower surged again, making the hand holding Bertha Swift’s feel a lot hotter than usual.
Facing Adam Piers head-on, Bertha Swift clearly saw the emotions in his eyes, which made her body begin to heat up too, making her more nervous, feeling as if she couldn’t escape today. Her voice low with a hint of pleading, “Adam, don’t…”
But her rejection sounded coquettish, not entirely like a refusal, more like a half-hearted reluctance consent.
Bertha Swift herself heard this and imdiately fell silent.
She wanted to explain sothing, but eting Adam’s invasive gaze, her legs felt weak, and she couldn’t say anything else.
Adam Piers felt the response of Bertha Swift’s body, and with his other large hand wrapped around her waist, he wanted to just kiss her regardless. He knew he yearned for it; today, Bertha Swift was dood to fail to escape.
But seeing the woman’s tightly shut eyes, her expression more uneasy than moved, made him unwilling to take possession.
He also knew she still harbored doubts deep inside about him. If he were to pressure her today, she likely wouldn’t refuse, but she would undoubtedly develop a divide in her heart against him.
Spending so much ti with Bertha Swift, Adam Piers knew this sensitive, thoughtful woman loves overthinking things. Now wasn’t the right ti. With a deep breath, gritting his teeth next to Bertha’s ear, he said, “You’re torturing !”
Tossing in this last line, Adam Piers headed back into the bathroom.
Bertha Swift opened her eyes at once, just in ti to see Adam turning back toward the bathroom, his back looking annoyed yet helpless.
She stared in place for a mont, then couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Adam Piers, walking ahead, turned back with a severe glare at her before proceeding into the bathroom.
Leaning against the door, Bertha Swift took deep breaths, silently deciding in her mind to keep a bit more distance from this man in the future, or it would be too easy for things to escalate!
After calming down for a while, Bertha Swift went out again. Outside, there was no sign of Ray Leighton anymore, which caused her cheeks to flush uncontrollably once more as she slowly returned to her room.
As soon as she entered, she was imdiately hugged by a waiting Maria White, who looked at her excitedly, “You and Brian Joule are trending again. My god, Bertha, you’re amazing! And my male god is so handso!”
Bertha Swift was helpless. She could never understand how soone could be a fan of Adam Piers one minute and, in such genuine emotion, imdiately switch sides to soone else.
However, everyone has their own worldview, and Bertha Swift chose not to comnt on that. But Maria White hugging her too tightly was sothing else; she could only pry her off with difficulty, only to hear Maria White exclaim again, “What happened to your neck?”
“What’s wrong with my neck?” Bertha Swift asked, while raising her hand to touch it.
The next mont Maria White had co to a full realization, tutting as she looked at Bertha, “You and Master Adam really went at it fiercely!”
Bertha Swift’s hand froze mid-reach on her neck. She pushed Maria White with her other hand, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Where am I talking nonsense? See for yourself!” Maria White said, handing Bertha Swift a small makeup mirror.
She then saw several ambiguous kiss marks on her neck, looking decidedly… intense.
Bertha Swift blushed again, a bit embarrassed while trying to explain, “It’s not what you think…”
“Co on, there’s no need to deny it. You did what you did, we’re all adults here, heh heh!” Maria White laughed quite lewdly at the last part, then continued without waiting for Bertha’s response, “Besides, haven’t you explained how you and Master Adam got back together? Wasn’t it impossible?”
“That…” Facing Maria White’s sparkling eyes filled with gossip, Bertha Swift genuinely didn’t know how to explain, responding vaguely, “It just… sohow happened. Don’t talk about that. How did I and Brian Joule end up trending again?”
“You don’t know?” Maria White was surprised.
Bertha Swift, sowhat embarrassed, replied, “I didn’t bring my phone.”
Having said that, she hurried upstairs to get her phone, and sure enough, there were nurous missed calls and unread ssages.
She hurried to investigate the situation, and just as Ray Leighton said, it was indeed the extre fan causing the trouble.
What’s more alarming was that the target wasn’t just her—Brian Joule was the main focus.
The perpetrator claid to be Brian Joule’s fan, and the intrusion into her private residence was due to an excessive fondness for him. The fan was afraid her idol would be deceived and acted impulsively given her young age, hoping Brian Joule could help contact Bertha Swift to withdraw the lawsuit. The girl’s parents promised to personally apologize to Bertha Swift.
After reading it, Bertha Swift’s expression darkened. The other party was entirely avoiding the main issue while also subtly pressuring Brian Joule morally.
“Finished reading? This family is shaless, claiming she’s young. Twenty-one years old is young? That’s the legal marriage age. Young, my foot!” Maria White was initially excited about Bertha Swift and Brian Joule getting on the trending list again, but after the excitent, she knew this matter was tricky.
Bertha Swift recalled the severity of the girl’s actions last night and couldn’t consider her just a child. If she let her off this ti, who knows how much more extre the girl might get in the future. Last night, Bertha was fortunate enough to encounter Adam Piers, who had rushed back overnight, but what if it had been soone else?
Not everyone might be as lucky as her.
So she wouldn’t withdraw the lawsuit!
Thinking of this, Bertha Swift dialed Brian Joule’s number.
Brian Joule had been trying to contact Bertha Swift but couldn’t reach her. Seeing Bertha calling proactively, he answered promptly.
“Sorry, I just saw the ssage.” As soon as the call connected, Bertha Swift first apologized and then expressed her stance straightforwardly, “I won’t withdraw the lawsuit, sorry.”
Brian Joule, upon hearing both Bertha’s apology and her refusal, sighed lightly before speaking, “You are the victim here; I’m the one who should be apologizing. As for dropping the lawsuit, even if you agreed, I wouldn’t.”
Hearing Brian Joule’s clear stance, Bertha Swift secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before making the call, she was worried Brian would demand she drop the lawsuit due to public opinion.
Fortunately, despite being a top figure in the entertainnt industry, he hadn’t been entirely swayed by fan circles; he still had his bottom line. The tense curve at her lips finally relaxed, “If I don’t relent, how do you plan to handle it? I don’t understand fan circles well but know this affects you quite a bit.”
“Is this a concern for ?” Brian Joule chuckled softly over the phone and continued before Bertha could respond, “Don’t worry; I’ve been in this circle for a few years. This situation seems tough but isn’t too difficult to manage. My agent is already communicating with the police, and there’ll be a statent issued later. I won’t let you be in a difficult spot, nor let the culprit go free.”
“Thank you.” Bertha Swift was slightly flustered by Brian’s question—’Is this a concern for ?’ Luckily, his follow-up assured her.
After hanging up with Brian Joule, Bertha Swift dialed Ray Leighton’s number.
Ray Leighton had sensibly left earlier, thinking there was no relying on these two today. To receive Bertha Swift’s call suddenly, he was nearly moved to tears.
“Miss Swift, I’ve already contacted Brian Joule’s agent, and they’ve promised not to interfere with this matter. You can go ahead and sue them, but since you aren’t backed by a company and this circle often steps on others to praise so, I’m worried soone might use this opportunity to slander you. Do you want to announce joining Piers’ Blueocean Entertainnt to make them aware you belong to Piers, so they’ll think twice before saring you?” Ray Leighton quickly laid out his suggestion, fearing to waste Master Adam’s ti.
Ray instinctively checked the ti after speaking, realizing he’d been downstairs for re half an hour. Concerned about Master Adam’s situation, he hoped it wasn’t premature ejaculation.
With the possibility in mind, Ray Leighton’s face fell, unsure whether to sympathize with Master Adam or Miss Swift!
As Ray rambled, Bertha Swift already accepted his suggestion, “Alright, did you bring the contract?”
“I did. Shall I take it up to you now? But the process may take until the afternoon; is that okay for you?” Ray hurriedly inquired.
Bertha Swift glanced at the ti, “That’s fine.”
The efficiency was already quite fast.
Before hanging up, Bertha Swift reported her room number to Ray.
Ray felt curious about why Bertha returned but knew best as an assistant to stay out of the boss and her partner’s matters. He hurriedly grabbed the docunts from the car and dashed upstairs.
…
Swift Family.
After agreeing to Adam Piers, Milne Swift cald down significantly, not only driving away Martha Maud and her son but also reclaiming the stocks she previously transferred when Martha bore him a son, transferring them to Bertha Swift’s na as per Adam’s request.
Despite doing all this, Milne Swift felt extre humiliation and unwillingness deep down.
Yet, fearing Adam Piers, he could only place all his resentnt towards Bertha Swift.
Just waiting for Adam Piers to tire of Bertha Swift.
In Milne Swift’s view, soone as dandy as Adam Piers wouldn’t truly marry a woman who had an abortion, so as long as he patiently waited, Bertha Swift and her mother would obediently return to the Swift house.
But the premise for all this was that Adam Piers would help revive the Swift corporation and bring them back to glory.
Instead of crashing midway.
So when news about Bertha Swift and Brian Joule erged, Milne Swift was uneasy, fearing Adam Piers might withdraw all resources allocated to Swift.
Fortunately, Piers made no move despite two days passing.
Even when the rumors died down and Brian Joule clarified, there was no reaction from Adam Piers concerning Bertha’s scandal.
This left Milne Swift anxious, affecting his sleep for two nights, fearful of sudden changes in the company.
Seeing two days pass, Brian Joule’s clarification on his and Bertha Swift’s incident sowhat eased Milne Swift’s tension, only to see Bertha Swift’s violent encounter by Brian’s extre fan top the trends again.
Milne Swift simultaneously felt his daughter needed so lessons while worrying about Bertha Swift and Brian possibly having sothing going on.
And just as he grew restless, Martha Maud, who’d been quiet for days, called.
Milne Swift initially didn’t want to answer but reconsidered given she had born him a son, and the son was still with her, he hesitated a mont before picking up.
Unlike Milne’s conflicted heart, Martha Maud was elated about Bertha Swift’s attack, seizing the opportunity to whisper into Milne’s ear, “I heard Bertha Swift and that male celebrity had a fallout with Master Adam. Adam hasn’t stepped in to help her, you think he might be giving up on Bertha Swift? She’s so careless when Master Adam treats her so well. But, you can’t bla Bertha entirely; I heard that male celebrity is very handso. They fild a romance movie together; emotions might’ve developed. It’s a pity for Master Adam…”
Milne Swift, already worried about the affair affecting Adam Piers’ support for Swift, although knowing Martha Maud was intentional, still cursed furiously, “Watch how I discipline that little floozy, sa as her mother!”
