Chapter 257: Making Adán Rouco disappear for good
Jerold Rouco approached Estrella Berrocal and looked at her sternly, “Mixing? Mrs. Rouco is not the right word, I am from La familia Rouco, how can you call it mixing with La familia Rouco?”
Jerold Rouco’s arrogance and arrogance made Estrella Berrocal’s teeth itch with hatred.
This man, who evidently had the same face and body as Adam, Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help but start hating him!
“Jerold Rouco, I’m warning you not to overdo it!”.
Jerold Rouco grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s slender wrist, raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly: “I’ll tell you one thing, I’m in The Rouco Family, replacing Adán Rouco to solve the problems of the Rouco Group, you should thank me. The Rouco family will fall, and that will not be good for you or for me!”.
Estrella Berrocal frowned slightly, “Replacing Adam?”.
Jerold Rouco let go of her wrist, grimaced and said, “Literally.”
Wasn’t he going to bring Adam back?
“Jerold Rouco, you’re just another character in Adam’s imagination, you can’t replace Adam himself! You can’t replace Adam himself! You’d better die before it’s too late.”
“Then let’s try to see who can replace whom!”
Jerold Rouco surveyed the bedroom and said coldly, “I don’t like the way it’s decorated, and I’m getting rid of all of Adam Rouco’s things, so if you don’t want to part with them, put them away before it’s too late.”
“Jerold Rouco!”
“What is Mrs. Rouco calling me for with that gnashing of teeth? Ah, yes, from now on, call me Adán, although, I dislike that name and I hate Adán Rouco as a person, but if you want to make a scene to let everyone know that Adán Rouco has a split personality disorder, then you can shout it out, I don’t mind, but the executives and shareholders of the Rouco Group, would they allow a psychopath with a split personality to continue running the Rouco Group consortium?”
Estrella Berrocal stood, fists clenched and teary-eyed, looking at him with indignation.
Jerold Rouco leaned over her ear and said very calmly, “Mrs. Rouco, think twice, if Adam Rouco came back and found out that he had lost the Rouco Group consortium because of you, do you think he would blame you?”
Estrella Berrocal took a deep breath, closed her eyes and, after a long moment, softened her breathing and pleaded, “Jerold Rouco, I beg you, give me back Adam, I will do anything you want.”
“Really? Anything for Adán Rouco?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Estrella Berrocal swallowed and gritted her teeth, meeting his calculating, sly gaze, “What do you want?”
“Now that the Rouco Group is in such a crisis, what Adán Rouco needs most is a strong and powerful assistant, and you, Estrella Berrocal, I have researched the decline of your family, your fallen princess, and oh, even if your family were not in decline, with the wealth and power of The Berrocal Company Even if your family were not in decline, with the wealth and power of The Berrocal Company, it will not help Adán Rouco.”
Estrella Berrocal endured Jerold Rouco’s taunt: “What are you trying to say?”.
“What I am trying to say is that Adán Rouco needs at this time a marriage partner with a track record and power.”
Estrella Berrocal’s eyelashes fluttered fiercely and her face instantly darkened.
Jerold Rouco looked at her sarcastically, then sat down on the bed and said, “Didn’t you just say you would do anything for Adán Rouco? And now you change your face before they ask you for anything? Deep down, what matters most to you is Mrs. Rouco’s position, right?”.
Estrella Berrocal pursed her lips in silence, her fingertips pinching her palm, numb with pain.
Jerold Rouco stood up, walked over to her and added, “How about this, since you can’t give up your Mrs. Rouco position, join me and make Adam Rouco disappear completely, I can keep your Mrs. Rouco position, and I, who am exactly the same as your Adam Rouco, you won’t lose out at all, how about that?”
“Pah-!”
Estrella Berrocal raised her hand and slapped Jerold Rouco so hard that he deflected it.
