Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 575: Chapter 575

Adrian seemed to be much older, and his face was very haggard.
It can be estimated that too many things had happened recently, and it was indeed a bit difficult for him to support the entire Shaw family and company by himself.
In addition, the old lady was still in the hospital, and everything, big or small, made him feel very stressed just by thinking about it.
Adrian's eye sockets were sunken deeply, and the dark circles around them were heavy as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
When he saw Sophie, there was some excitement and happiness in his eyes.
Adrian's eyes fell on Sophie: "How is Erika?"
Sophie said: "She is pretty good. How is your grandma?"
"Thanks to Night, everything is fine. It's just grandma..." Adrian didn't finish, and Sophie also knew.
Although her life was saved, she was probably not in good shape. After all, what she wanted most was her grandson, but now, Adrian would have no descendants, and the only bloodline she thought was the Shaw family's had not been Adrian's.
The old lady was old and couldn't bear all that. She suddenly seemed to have aged a lot, and her hair turned gray almost overnight.
She was lying in bed, not eating or drinking; they could only rely on medicine to keep her alive.
In fact, Amy also told Sophie that she might not survive long after being rescued this time.
The old lady has not done many good deeds in her life, but has done a lot of evil. Now that she was like that, she was suffering her consequences.
Sophie said: "She will definitely get better, relax."
"Yeah, I know." Adrian smiled self-deprecatingly.
How could he relax? He was aware of his grandma's condition and could only live one day at a time.
He knew that the Shaw Corporation was now in a dire situation and might never return to how it used to be.
"Alright, we are leaving now." Sophie planned to enter the elevator with Hurley.
Although he didn't like Adrian, Sophie and Adrian chatted a few words, and Hurley didn't say anything.
He knew that Adrian had run out of chances a long time ago, that Sophie belonged to him, and that he was not even a love rival anymore.
"Sophie." Adrian stopped her.
Hurley frowned. Do you really think that he doesn't exist?
"Can we still be friends?" Adrian asked.
He didn't want to break off the relationship with Sophie like a stranger.
He has liked Sophie for so many years, and although it yielded no results, he still felt reluctant to let go.
"Aren't we already friends?" In her heart, she regarded Adrian just as a friend.
Adrian smiled softly. Even if Sophie said this on purpose to comfort him, Adrian was still very happy.
"Sophie, I have another question to ask you."
"Okay, ask."
Adrian glanced at Hurley next to her: "Compared to him, what's the difference? If I were as rich and had high status as him, would you like me?"
Before Sophie opened her mouth, Hurley said, "You don't need her to ask this question, I can answer it for you."
"No matter how rich and powerful you are, she will never like you. She has never been a person who likes money. I think you still don't understand that she makes money by herself. Maybe you don't know her at all. How high her status is now, she is not a woman who relies on men to survive."
"She is independent and can live a good life on her own. She needs people who can run towards her unconditionally and stand by her side. However, your emotions are too complicated. You are submissive and can't even resist your family members, how can you stand by her side?"
"Let's not mention that you are not as good as me in any aspects. Even if Sophie marries you, can you convince your family to love her and treat her well? Can you make her happy every day without worries or troubles?"
Adrian was silent for a while and then asked Hurley: "Can you do that?"
"I can!" Hurley answered with confidence.
"She will never be wronged by me. I will not let my family not accept her, nor will I let others bully her."
Adrian was silent. In comparison, he really couldn't compare to Hurley.
However, Adrian was still unconvinced: "It's just because of your identity and status that you can guarantee that no one will bully her."
"Now I am no longer the president of Walton Corporation. In other words, I have no identity or status. I can't even eat what I like anyhow. I rely on Sophie to support me. Her choice of me has never been a matter of identity and status."
"If you feel that your status is not worthy of her, then you should work hard. You have known her for so many years and you have never reached that level. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? If you really like her, why don't you work hard? To be worthy of her, you might as well ask yourself, can you really give her a happy future?"
"Is your love just for words and you don't have to do anything? If you think you like her, does she have to like you?"
Hurley's words immediately made Adrian stupid.
Adrian could no longer think of words to retort because what Hurley said was really correct.
He really didn't fight for her before, and he didn't even dare to compete with his grandma. Even when he was forced to marry someone he didn't like, he couldn't say no.
Without giving Adrian a chance to speak, Hurley directly led Sophie away.
Adrian froze on the spot, like Hurley, indeed, he had had many opportunities.
He met Sophie much earlier than Hurley, but why didn't he make Sophie fall in love with him?
He also heard about Hurley's resignation from the company, but he felt that Hurley would not leave Walton Corporation so easily.
Perhaps as Hurley said, he is not doing enough now, and there is no way to give the person he likes a future.
Adrian stood like that at the door of the elevator for a long time, until the nurse noticed him: "Sir, are you here to visit a patient or a doctor? I see you have been here for a while."
Adrian said: "I'm sorry, I came to see a patient. Please help me give this to her. She is in that ward."
Adrian asked the nurse to help him take the fruits and some supplements he had brought to Erika. After all, Erika had just given birth and needed to take good supplements. Knowing Erika's situation, Adrian also packaged some money.
Although he hated Erika because she had been cheating on him, and if it weren't for Erika, his grandma would not be in the condition she was in.
But after all, they had been married before, and it was already cruel to kick Erika out. There was no need to be so cruel, so Adrian brought her some money.
Just as the nurse was about to ask him why he didn't go by himself, Adrian turned around and left.
The nurse had no choice but to help and take the things to Erika.
Erika looked at those things and was shocked that someone actually gave her something.
"Hello, may I ask who sent this?"
The nurse shook her head: "I don't know. He stood outside for a long time. He asked me to give you these and then left. He was tall and handsome, and was wearing a suit."
He was tall and handsome and was wearing a suit, so it was definitely not David. So who could it be?
