The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 408 - 409: Falling for Sixth Master’s Younger Aunt

Aaron Faber recounted Frederick Stewart’s recent situation. "Frederick Stewart is wanted by the police; his ID is useless. He can’t stay in hotels or even use public transportation. He had been living in the remote countryside. This time, someone recognized him, and Frederick Stewart was reported. The police chased him, and he ended up hiding in the mountains for a week..."

Adrian Desmond listened intently.

Aaron Faber kicked the unconscious man, his eyes filled with disdain. "Just as I thought—a pampered young master. He can’t even handle a little hardship."

Adrian Desmond looked at Aiden Howard and asked, "Is this place safe?"

"Safe!"

"Leave a few men to watch him. He can’t turn himself in for now!"

"Yes, sir!"

The more Adrian Desmond looked at the man on the ground, the more displeased he became. He instructed Aiden Howard, "It must be boring for him to be locked up alone. Find him some entertainment."

Aiden Howard grinned. "Shall I cripple him or drive him insane?"

"Drive him insane!"

"Yes, sir!" Aiden Howard saluted Adrian Desmond; he clearly relished this kind of work.

Just as Adrian Desmond was about to leave, Frederick Stewart regained consciousness. His eyes were covered, and his mouth was taped shut. He tried to speak, but only muffled whimpers escaped...

Aiden Howard, annoyed by the noise, silenced him with a punch. Frederick Stewart fell unconscious again.

Adrian Desmond observed Aiden Howard’s rough handling and warned, "Control yourself. Don’t kill him. I need him alive, to live out his days and die in prison!"

"Sixth Master, don’t worry, I know my limits!"

Aiden Howard gazed at Frederick Stewart, his eyes gleaming. Aiden Howard’s nickname was "Lord Yama"; anyone who fell into his hands would either die or be left half-dead.

Seeing Adrian Desmond about to depart, Aaron Faber quickly caught up to him. "Sixth Master, I have something to tell you."

Adrian Desmond stopped and looked at Aaron Faber, who seemed hesitant. Seeing him struggle to speak, Adrian Desmond frowned. "Well? What is it you want to say?"

"Sixth Master, I’ve fallen in love with a woman in Sileria City. So, I want to stay here for the time being and not return to Abyanabad."

"If you like her, just take her back to Abyanabad with you. Or is she unwilling to go?" Adrian Desmond suddenly grew curious about the woman who had captured Aaron Faber’s interest.

"I haven’t asked her."

"Who is she?"

"Samara Johnson!"

Adrian Desmond stared at Aaron Faber in shock, thinking he must have misheard. "Who did you say?"

"Madam’s sister, Samara Johnson!"

Aaron Faber made no effort to hide his feelings. It had been love at first sight with Samara Johnson. Since she was also Adrian Desmond’s sister-in-law, there was no hiding it from him. Besides, he was hoping Adrian Desmond might put in a good word for him with Sienna Johnson, to help him win the beauty’s heart sooner.

Adrian Desmond’s eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Aaron Faber, who met his gaze unflinchingly, his own eyes resolute.

"Do you have any idea how old Samara is?"

"I made some inquiries. She’s fourteen and doesn’t have a boyfriend yet."

"Even if she doesn’t have a boyfriend, an old man like you doesn’t stand a chance!" Adrian Desmond threw cold water on his hopes, wishing he would come to his senses. One was fourteen, the other twenty-seven. By the time Samara Johnson grew up, Aaron Faber would be an old man.

"I know I’m a bit older..."

Adrian Desmond cut him off, continuing to deflate his aspirations, "Aaron Faber, if I recall correctly, you’re twenty-seven, almost twenty-eight, aren’t you?"

Previously, Aaron Faber hadn’t cared much about his age. A man’s age and his maturity were often linked—the older, the more mature—and most men aspired to be seen as such. But ever since he’d laid eyes on Samara Johnson, a girl barely on the cusp of youth, Aaron Faber had begun to track his own age with meticulous precision, down to the very day!

"To be exact, twenty-seven years, two months, and thirteen days old!"

Adrian Desmond’s face was a mask of frustration. "Samara is out of the question. Find someone else to like."

"If Sixth Master can stop loving Madam and choose another woman, then I’ll choose another woman to love!"

Adrian Desmond aimed a kick at Aaron Faber, who, uniquely, dared to dodge. The kick met air. Before Aaron Faber could feel a sliver of triumph, Adrian Desmond struck out again, this time connecting.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts!"

"If Sienna knew you, you pervert, were coveting her precious sister, she’d absolutely have me kill you! And as you know, Sienna Johnson calls all the shots in our family now, big or small. If she ordered me to take action against you then, it wouldn’t be just a simple kick like this..."

"Sixth Master, your threats won’t work on me!" Aaron Faber stated firmly.

"Then, while that little sprout of love hasn’t yet grown into a towering tree, you’d best nip it in the bud," Adrian Desmond advised.

"Sixth Master, you know what kind of man I am! I’m twenty-seven, but I’ve lived a clean life, always waiting for my soulmate. Samara is indeed very young, but I’ve fallen for her, and I can’t control my heart."

Adrian Desmond roared in anger, "She’s only fourteen, Aaron Faber! If you dare lay a hand on Samara, don’t blame me for disregarding our brotherhood!"

"Sixth Master, rest assured, I won’t do anything reckless. I’ll wait for her to grow up!"

Aiden Howard couldn’t resist teasing, "Aaron, by the time Second Miss is all grown up, will your ’equipment’ even still work? Don’t go ruining a young lady’s life. HAHA..."

"Damn you!" Aaron Faber snatched a brick from the ground and hurled it at Aiden Howard, but, of course, he missed.

Adrian Desmond spoke gravely, "I know you won’t listen to anything I say! But I still have to tell you: Samara has a gentle temperament, much like my mother-in-law. However, don’t assume such a personality is easy to manipulate. Samara listens to her sister. If you can’t get her sister’s approval, you’ll never win Samara over!"

Seeing Adrian Desmond relent slightly, Aaron Faber was overjoyed. "Sixth Master, don’t worry, I’ll definitely win Madam’s approval!"

Adrian Desmond patted Aaron Faber’s shoulder. "You must know about Sabrina Johnson framing my father-in-law, right?"

Ever since falling for Samara Johnson at first sight, Aaron Faber had instinctively considered the Johnson Family’s affairs his own. Naturally, the Johnson Family’s enemies were his enemies too.

"I know. That Sabrina Johnson is a truly terrible person. I will definitely help Madam make Sabrina pay for what she’s done!"

"I’ll deal with Sabrina Johnson myself. You stay out of it."

"Sixth Master, we’ll be brothers-in-law in the future. Heh heh... I never expected we’d share such a destiny."

Adrian Desmond was momentarily speechless. "Aaron, I always thought you were a smart man. How is it that I’m now discovering your brain can be surprisingly slow at times?"

"What do you mean by that, Sixth Master?"

"I mean, Sienna Johnson has absolutely no patience for perverted old men who harbor improper designs on little girls!"

Aaron Faber was struck dumb.

Aiden Howard, always eager to stir up trouble, chimed in, "Fancying a little girl who hasn’t even hit puberty yet? You truly are a pervert!"
