Chapter 1110: Chapter 1020: Heaven Is About to Rain, Father Wants to Get Married
Adam Piers stared at the vehicles with a slovenly disdain, showing not the slightest concealnt of his curiosity and disdain.
The mont Oliver Piers stepped out, he was t with his son’s cynical, world-weary face, and his anger flared up instantly.
Yet Adam didn’t move, his gaze falling on the woman who alighted with Oliver.
The woman seed sowhat uneasy under Adam’s scrutiny but did not retreat, graciously smiling as she t Adam’s gaze.
Seeing this, Adam snorted and finally shifted his gaze to his father, “Where did you find this counterfeit, old man? Planning to marry her? Aren’t you afraid it’ll revive my mom from anger?”
“You bastard, is that any way to speak? Did you co back just to piss your old man off?” Oliver was almost faint with rage upon hearing this, trembling as he pointed at Adam and cursed.
Adam grinned roguishly, “Oh, I wouldn’t dare. But looking at you, an old lecher, dying under her skirt would be so much less dashing than being vexed to death by .”
“You…you…” Oliver was so angry that he almost couldn’t catch his breath.
Jennifer quickly patted Oliver’s back, gently persuading, “Don’t be angry, Second Master. Adam just loves to joke. Why take it seriously with a child? His return shows he cares about you.”
“Care about ? I think he’s just trying to infuriate on purpose.” Oliver was still angry, but Jennifer’s words had so effect, and his deanor cald down a bit.
Adam, however, was put off by being referred to as a child.
He had overestimated his old man before. This woman wasn’t nearly his mother’s age, seemingly younger, just dressed maturely, possibly attempting to emulate a brocade cheongsam that accentuated her figure, and the hairstyle was quite retro, very much like a Republic of Flowery Kingdom lady, except his mother was truly a lady, while she had a hint of dustiness, which made Adam uncomfortable.
Although his mother died when he was less than three, and he has little mory of her, there were plenty of her photos around the house growing up. The sa style that was elegant and intellectual on his mother appeared vulgar on this woman.
Observing their interaction, Adam felt increasingly repelled.
He finally understood why Ray Leighton was hesitant to speak frankly, and why the butler was reticent—it seed his old man wanted to marry soone who bore a striking resemblance to his deceased mother.
Sotis Adam really couldn’t understand his old man. Clearly promiscuous, yet always trying to perform a grand love story. Was it to satisfy his acting addiction, or simply to disgust others?
Either way, Adam was thoroughly sickened.
Originally, he didn’t care whether his father married or not. It was none of his business, but now he felt that if the marriage went through, he wouldn’t need to co ho anymore.
But this was Adam Piers’ ho. Why should he give it away to soone else?
Especially to a scheming woman.
He derisively watched the lovey-dovey older couple, and only when their show of affection was done did he draw his gaze back onto himself, sarcastically clicking his tongue, provoking Oliver to another fit of hopping in anger.
However, now having a grasp of things, Adam no longer provoked his father, giving the woman a aningful glance before heading out.
Oliver panicked, “Stand still, have you no manners? Did I raise you just to bring trouble? Whether you like it or not, you’ll co to the wedding!”
Oliver was adamant this ti.
Adam, however, paid it no mind, rely waving his hand dismissively at his father.
Oliver didn’t know whether Adam agreed or not, glaring in anger, but Jennifer’s gentle reassurance slightly cald him down, and he sighed, “Jennifer, you’re the sensible one.”
The woman instantly smiled shyly, with a dash of sweetness.
Oliver watched with heated eyes, holding her hand and stroking it in his palm, while Jennifer smiled coquettishly.
Thankfully, Adam left earlier, otherwise witnessing this ‘lovers’ affection would have disgusted him even more.
Only after getting into the car did Adam dial Ray Leighton, “Where did the old man find himself such a fake product?”
Ray was startled by ‘old man,’ instinctively looked around, and whispered, “Master Adam, watch your words. Second Master’s still your father. If others heard you addressing him like that, who knows what news might stir up.”
“Huh, do I want to be his son?” Adam retorted impatiently and urged, “Answer my question.”
“Weren’t you hospitalized so ti ago? Second Master visited once and happened to see Miss Saxton being rejected for a job. Although nothing happened then, the next day he placed her in another private care facility. Miss Saxton was grateful and ca to thank him, and soon after they got together.” Ray spoke tactfully, but Adam couldn’t help but smile bitterly, bemused at how they got involved.
Unexpectedly, he played a bit of a matchmaker role in it.
But Adam, though appearing dandy, wasn’t stupid. How could there be so many ‘coincidences’ in the world? If they occur, they must be carefully orchestrated.
He rembered his father visiting only once while he was hospitalized, yet that one ti, he just ‘coincidentally’ saw Jennifer rejecting a job, and conveniently, she bore a 70% resemblance to his deceased mother, then got involved with his old man over a thank you.
A typical young woman in her twenties would ‘coincidentally’ fall for a man her father’s age?
If not for money, then it’s for profit.
And Adam leaned more toward the latter.
Right now, he was in ‘conflict’ with Brandon Piers himself, and there was a broad chance of him getting kicked out of Piers. Rumors were already circulating that Brandon would eliminate his second branch during the company’s transformation and reshuffle, stripping him of his managerial role would be Brandon’s second move.
As for who the second move was for, only their second branch was left in the Piers household. With his managerial position gone, naturally, the second blow would land on his father.
Adam knew his father was useless and forgetful. With such a hidden bomb nearby, he might be played to death without even knowing who the enemy was.
“Background?” Adam cald his mind and asked.
Ray, who had prepared in advance to make Adam go back ho, not only investigated Jennifer’s acquaintance and romance trajectory with Second Master but also checked her background. However, compared to her acquaintance and romance story with Second Master, her personal background wasn’t anything special, but Ray still sent the information to Adam respectfully.
Adam hung up after receiving the data and quickly skimd through it within a minute.
Jennifer Sawyer was born in Gills City, graduated from a dical technical college, and later worked at the Sincere Hospital in Gills City but was fired for negligence. Later, she moved to Swallow City, supposedly to end her long-distance relationship but discovered her boyfriend cheating upon arrival.
That’s when she encountered Oliver getting rejected for a job at Piers’ International Hospital.
The data seed impeccable on the surface.
However, the ID photo of Jennifer on record today looked entirely different from the woman he t, but it did show so resemblance to his mother. But the resemblance wasn’t even three-tenths of what he saw today; the Jennifer he t today bore at least a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to his mother.
If there is nothing fishy here, Adam would willingly write his na backward.
Closing the data, Adam uncaringly sent this information to Brandon Piers and then started the car.
The suddenly forced back to normal work Brandon Piers received this docunt from Adam Piers and directly sent a question mark.
Adam Piers replied, driving one-handed, “Your second uncle found himself a new second aunt, pretty, isn’t she?”
Brandon Piers held back but couldn’t resist, “None of my business.”
Seeing this reply from Brandon, Adam’s mood instantly improved a lot, it seems that when he’s unhappy, so man who’s forced to work and can’t accompany his wife gets very irritable.
With his mischievous sense of humor, Adam felt utterly satisfied.

Refresh later, will try to finish writing tonight.
Adam, with a slovenly air, stared at the vehicles, showing no disguise of his curiosity and disdain.
Oliver Piers ca out and faced his son’s world-weary face that was playing it easy, and his anger surged.
Yet Adam didn’t move, his gaze stayed on the woman getting off the car with Oliver.
The woman seed a bit uneasy being stared at by Adam but didn’t back down, eting Adam’s gaze with a proper smile.
Adam snorted at this, finally shifting his gaze to his father, “I say, old man, where did you find this counterfeit, still planning to marry her? Aren’t you afraid my mom will co back to life out of anger?”
“Insolent brat, are these human words? You ca back just to anger your old man to death, huh!” Oliver Piers almost fainted hearing this, shaking his finger at Adam in scolding.
Adam, with a mischievous grin, “Dare not, dare not, given your old lecherous self, if you die, it’s under her skirt, dying because of isn’t flamboyant enough.”
“You… you…” Oliver was so angered by these words that he nearly couldn’t breathe.
Jennifer hurried to pat Oliver’s back, softly persuading, “Second Master, don’t be angry, Adam just loves to joke, how can you take it seriously with him? His coming back shows he’s very concerned about you.”
“Concerned about ? I think he’s just sincerely trying to anger to death.” Oliver was still angry, but Jennifer’s words did work to so degree, easing his mood a bit.
Adam was irritated by being called a child.
He had overestimated this old man of his before; this woman seed not to be of his age, possibly younger, just dressed maturely, perhaps deliberately imitating with a brocade cheongsam that accentuated her figure, with a retro hairstyle, quite fitting the Republic of Flowery Kingdom lady style — yet his mother was genuinely a real lady, while this one had a touch of coarseness, making Adam very uncomfortable.
Though his mother died when he was less than three years old, and he had vague mories of her, there were many photos of his mother at ho during his younger years. The sa style on his mother was elegant and intellectual, but on this woman, it’s flaunting.
Seeing their interaction, Adam beca increasingly disgusted.
Finally, he understood why Ray Leighton didn’t dare to directly tell the truth, and why the butler hesitated to speak; obviously, his old man was planning to marry a woman who resembled his deceased mother significantly.
Sotis Adam genuinely couldn’t understand this old man of his; clearly, he’s promiscuous, yet insists on enacting a drama of deep affection and short life, not sure if it’s to satisfy his acting urge or just to disgust others?
Either way, he’s thoroughly disgusted.
Originally, Adam thought whether his father’s marriage was on or not was none of his business, but now he felt that if this marriage happened, he wouldn’t bother coming ho in the future.
But this is his Piers family ho, why should he let it go to soone else?
Especially soone with ulterior motives.
He sarcastically watched this disgustingly affectionate old-young couple, finally shifting his gaze back to him, clicked his tongue in slovenly disdain, once again provoking Oliver to leap in anger.
But knowing the score, Adam didn’t further anger his old man, gave the woman a aningful glance, and then walked away.
Oliver was anxious, “Stop right there, have so decency, I raised you this big just to make my life difficult? I’m telling you, you’ll attend the wedding, either you co or you co!”
This ti Oliver issued a stern warning.
Adam, however, didn’t bother taking it to heart, just waved his hand behind Oliver.
Oliver didn’t know if he agreed or not, angrily glared, in the end, it was Jennifer’s gentle soothing that finally cald his mood, sighed, “Still, Jennifer is sensible.”
The woman imdiately smiled shyly, with a hint of sweetness.
Oliver watched hotly, holding the woman’s hand and caressing it in his palm, Jennifer smiling with allure.
Lucky for Adam he’d left early, otherwise, seeing this pair of ‘lovers’, he might be even more disgusted.
Adam got into the car but didn’t leave, directly dialed Ray Leighton, “Where did the old geezer find such a counterfeit product for himself?”
Ray was taken aback by the words ‘old geezer’, instinctively glancing around, then softly advised, “Master Adam, watch your words, Second Master is your father, if others hear you addressing him this way, it might stir so news.”
“Heh, do I want to be his son?” Adam impatiently snapped back, urging, “Answer my question.”
“You were hospitalized recently, Second Master visited once, coincidentally ran into Miss Saxton being rejected for a job interview. Though nothing was said then, the next day she was placed in another private convalescent ho, and Miss Saxton was grateful, specially ca to thank Second Master. One thing led to another, and they got together.” Ray spoke subtly, Adam wasn’t pleased, hearing how they’d hooked up, it made him laugh angrily.
Apparently, he played a bit of matchmaking in it.
Though Adam appears like a dandy, he’s not stupid; how could there be so many coincidental etings in the world, if anything is ticulously orchestrated.
He rembered his old man visited only once during his hospitalization yet sohow that one ti coincidentally ran into Jennifer Sawyer being rejected, and happened to have a face seventy percent like his deceased mother, which coincidentally led to her hooking up with his old man.
Normally, a girl in her twenties, would she ‘one thing lead to another’ fall for a man who could be her dad?
If not for money, it’d be for benefits.
Adam leaned more towards the latter.
Currently, he and Brandon Piers were ‘at odds’, he himself had a trend of being kicked out of the Piers, rumors were already quietly spreading in the company, saying Brandon Piers was discarding when done, using the company’s current transformation for a major reshuffle, planning to kick out the second branch that initially supported him, demoting him from his manager position was Brandon’s second strike.
As for the second strike, among the branches of Piers, only their second branch remained, removing the manager position ant the second strike was aid at his father’s position.
Adam knew his old man was useless and forgetful, having soone planted beside him like this ti bomb, one day might get played to death not even knowing who the enemy is.
“Background?” Adam collected his thoughts and asked.
