Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2682: Chapter 2691: Trading Blows

Adam Sinclair’s breathing sank, anger gathering in his chest. He wasn’t someone who wore his emotions on his face, but right now even his brows and eyes couldn’t help but be tainted with a trace of ferocity.

So furious that he actually laughed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line as he stared at the man in front of him and said, ”President Oliver, coming here in the middle of the night like this doesn’t seem very appropriate, does it? Do I have to remind President Oliver that only then will President Oliver remember that Olivia is my girlfriend?”

Olivia is my girlfriend!

An overbearing declaration of his claim.

Sure enough, a shadow gathered in August Oliver’s eyes, but compared to before, he could hold himself back much better now. His starry eyes gave Adam a cold look. ”Young Master Sinclair, before you say something like that, you’d better remember clearly yourself who your girlfriend is. You can’t even keep it straight, and you expect other people to remember it for you?”

”What’s that supposed to mean?” Adam wasn’t slow; it was obvious there was more to his words.

Seeing that he wasn’t planning to pretend, August pressed his lips together and said, ”If you want to know what I mean, just check the news on your phone yourself.”

Adam took out his phone and started browsing on the spot.

With just one glance, the color drained from his handsome face, turning as cold as ice. He fell silent.

He wasn’t stupid. The moment he saw the news, he knew he’d been set up. And the person who set him up was obviously Renee Anderson.

He also knew very well how big a blow this sudden piece of news would be to Olivia Lewis’s career at such a critical moment when she was about to make her comeback.

You could say that the effort Olivia Lewis had put in over the past few months had all been wasted by this scandal he’d stirred up.

Now that she was about to return, her old mess would inevitably be dug up again!

And for a Star, the last thing they wanted was people dredging up old scandals. If too many old accounts were dragged out, the audience’s goodwill would deteriorate...

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, a surge of anger rose out of nowhere in August. If he weren’t still holding a glass of honey water in his hand, he would’ve rushed up and punched this man already. It took a tremendous effort to suppress the urge to get physical. He said coldly, ”I know that statement she released back then was something you forced her into. I’m telling you, things are different now. Before, you could use me to threaten her. That won’t work anymore, and it’ll be even more impossible in the future! You only had that one chance...” He would keep getting stronger! Until the day he could deal with that man, then he’d turn back, stop caring about anything else, and chase after her again.

”If you don’t know how to cherish her, then you’d better break up with her sooner rather than later. She doesn’t need your protection. Without you, I can still protect her just fine!”

Olivia Lewis was now an artist under Celestial Entertainment. Even if she was only nominally attached to Celestial, she still counted as half a Celestial person.

The reason he’d chosen to take over the mess that was Celestial Entertainment back then was because he’d seen her name on the artist roster.

What could be better than becoming the acting President of Celestial to protect her up close, without disturbing her?

August Oliver’s handsome, iceberg-like face was razor-sharp, and it was clear that every word he spoke came from deep inside. He had never once given up on Olivia Lewis; he couldn’t even hide how much he liked her!

Adam’s face was as dark as still water. Looking at the man in front of him who couldn’t even hide his own emotions, he gave a low warning. ”And how exactly are you going to protect her? Clean up the mess around you first before you come talk to me about protection! Also, it’s one thing to say this in front of me, but I’m warning you—don’t let anyone else see what you’re thinking. If you drag her into the danger you’re in right now, I won’t let you off!”

August clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms without him even noticing. ”I’ll protect her whether you say anything or not.”

”I’m leaving. You’d better watch yourself.” He finished this sentence expressionlessly, then brushed past Adam Sinclair—
