Chapter 742: Chapter 742: You are begging me to sleep with you while I am shameless?

“””

After being kicked by Adam Piers, the male reporter was urgently sent to the hospital behind them.

The remaining reporters looked at each other, obviously a bit afraid of him. They were not afraid of a wealthy nobleman with money and status but of a wealthy and powerful scoundrel.

Especially someone like Adam Piers, who looked like he didn’t care about anything.

Seeing that these people had finally calmed down, Adam wore a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “If you have any questions now, feel free to ask me. I, Adam Piers, guarantee to answer truthfully. But if anyone dares to lay a hand on my woman again, don’t blame me for being harsh.”

After he finished speaking, Adam tightened his grip on Bertha Swift’s waist. Seeing her flushed eyes, he thought to himself that he had never met such a troublesome woman.

Those intimidated by his presence remained silent, and no one dared to speak up. Finally, a female reporter at the back timidly raised her hand, “May I ask, Master Adam, you just said Miss Swift is your woman. Does that mean you are acknowledging the rumors online?”

This question hit the crucial point.

Bertha Swift had just recovered from the male reporter’s wails. Hearing Adam claim her as his woman, her face became even more sullen. Held tightly by Adam, she couldn’t struggle and could only grit her teeth. Then she heard the female reporter’s question, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

“What do you mean by rumors? Rumors are unfounded, and Bertha and I are engaged. What’s wrong with a kiss?” Adam glared at the reporter.

“Engaged?” Not only were the reporters stunned, but Bertha Swift, who was forcibly held by Adam, was also confused. She didn’t know what Adam was up to, so she didn’t dare look up and reveal her surprise to the reporters.

The reporters, still bewildered by Adam’s words, stared at the two of them. Engaged? When did this happen?

“Master Adam, are you mistaken?” a reporter couldn’t help but ask tentatively.

Adam glared coldly, “Are you suggesting I’m senile and can’t even remember who my fiancee is?”

“I… I didn’t…” The reporter quickly waved his hands. The others were also intimidated by Adam’s aura; they couldn’t help but wonder, wasn’t he just a dandy? Where did this powerful aura come from?

“No matter what you think, I won’t allow anyone to bully or slander Bertha. Prepare to receive a lawyer’s letter.” With that, Adam scooped Bertha into his arms and walked straight towards the car.

Bertha wanted to struggle, but due to the media’s cameras, she didn’t dare to move. She buried her head in Adam’s chest, only relaxing once they were in the car. She looked at Adam, “What did you mean by what you said earlier?”

“What do you think I meant?” Adam’s demeanor changed, now looking at Bertha with a slovenly expression, his lips curled in mockery.

Bertha, frustrated, thought of the ultrasound report in her bag and turned her head away from Adam. She felt utterly wronged, but she remembered it was she who clung to Adam that night. Even if he took advantage of the situation, it was her own fault.

Adam, feeling irked that Bertha didn’t even thank him after he helped her, became more nonchalant. “I meant exactly what I said.”

“How could that be? Clearly, I was with…” Bertha began, but then her bag vibrated. She glared at Adam, took out her phone, and saw seven or eight missed calls, mostly from the Swift family.

Her face turned pale as she shakily answered, hearing her mother’s voice on the other end, “What’s going on between you and Master Adam?”

“Mom, listen to me, he and I have nothing…”

“The intimate photos are out there, and you’re telling me you have nothing to do with him? Bertha Swift, you’ve grown wings, haven’t you? Do you know what consequences this will bring to the Swift family?” Her mother interrupted, her voice full of disappointment and anger.

“Mom, please listen to me…”

“You have twenty minutes to get back here.” Mrs. Swift didn’t listen to her explanation, hung up, and turned to her husband, her voice softening, “Honey, Bertha will be back soon. Don’t be angry, it’s bad for your health.”

On the other end, Bertha’s face looked even worse as she stared at her phone. She opened the news and saw multiple posts about her and Adam. She was briefly stunned but scrolled down to see the photo of Adam forcibly kissing her that day. Her eyes filled with uncontrollable anger, and she suddenly turned her head.

Adam sat next to her and, seeing her submissive attitude towards her mother, raised an eyebrow, thinking that even the wicked have their own wicked torturers. But when Bertha glared at him fiercely after checking her phone, he was surprised. “Why are you looking at me like that? What, did you suddenly realize you’re in love with me? Don’t worry, I’m not here for you today.”

Slap!

Just as he finished his narcissistic comment, Bertha suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard.

The air in the car froze for a moment.

Adam slowly turned his head, cracking his neck loudly, then looked at Bertha’s trembling body and laughed angrily, “Bertha Swift, are you tired of living?”

“Adam Piers, you’re so despicable. Where did those photos come from? Did you do it on purpose? Everyone knows the branches of the Piers family don’t get along, and you and your father support Oliver. Now that Oliver has been kicked out of the board and Daniel sent to Europe, did you expose these photos to disgust Master Brandon?” Bertha wasn’t stupid. She couldn’t figure out how the photos had gotten out, but the most likely culprit was Adam himself.

“I did it on purpose… Ha…” Adam was about to deny it but remembered it was his dad’s doing. So it wasn’t much different than if he’d done it himself. Why should he explain to this damned woman? His tone turned cold, “Yes, I exposed them.”

Bertha had anticipated this, but hearing Adam admit it, she felt even more distressed. Red-eyed, she glared at him, “Adam Piers, you’re shameless!”

“If I’m shameless, why did you come to me begging to sleep with you? How low are you?” Adam was incredibly displeased. When he was unhappy, he made sure others were too.

“You…” Bertha trembled with anger at Adam’s words. That night was her deepest shame, and she had been trying hard to forget it. But Adam’s words tore apart her self-deception. Indeed, she was low!

Not only did she beg a dandy to sleep with her, but she also ended up pregnant with his child!

“Let me out of the car!” Bertha felt she couldn’t stay with Adam any longer. She was suffocating and needed to get rid of the baby immediately. She would never have a child with this scoundrel.

The car was driving on an overpass. Hearing Bertha’s demand, Adam cursed, “Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish?”

Bertha, feeling utterly humiliated, reached for the car door, “I want out, let me out!”
