Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1022 Partnering Up

To pull Sasha out of hot water, Adam had offended Colton, meaning his days would only become worse. She looked at the originally hunched man, now standing upright, and knew he was lying to her all along. "Why aren't you pretending anymore?"

Indeed, Adam was not crippled, nor was his health in dire condition. All of that was a lie.

"If I kept that up, you wouldn't have made it out alive today," he chastised.

When she heard that, she was slightly dumbfounded because this was the first time she felt Adam cared for her. Although he was her biological father, he had never cared about his family. After all, if he had, he would not have thrown her to a place that almost killed her.

Sasha soon calmed down and gazed away, saying, "You can stop pretending. I'm not interested in your authority, and it's originally yours, so take it back if you want it."

At the sight of her, Adam knew Alvin's death had forced her to grow up. "You must remember Alvin's death. His death is mainly because of you because you were foolish! He wouldn't have died there if you hadn't made that wrong choice. As a leader, one word is enough to decide a person's life," he stated flatly.

Sasha did not look at him and responded, "I understand."

Seeing she had taken in his words, Adam did not utter anything else and took a step forward, asking, "Do you have any plans for now?"

Plans? I want to avenge Alvin, and I will start with Colton.

"Doesn't Colton have a younger sister named Wendy? I remember she's still abroad." Her expression twisted as her love for Colton turned into endless hatred.

"Are you still going after the Gardners? Have you lost your mind?"

Not only did the Gardners own a business empire, but they also had the Wolf backing them up. Therefore, it was an awful decision to go against them.

"Alvin can't die in vain!" Sasha gnashed her teeth.

"You must know that Wolf and Lome are now working together. Undercity alone is not their opponent, so we can't do anything about Gardner Corporation," Adam warned.

Though he rescued her with all his might, it did not mean he was willing to put the entire Undercity on the line for her.

"Isn't A looking to work with Undercity? If we partner up with them, Wolf and Lome won't pose a threat to us," she calmly stated.

This time, it was Adam's turn to frown. Of course, he knew A was looking to partner up with Undercity, but that was because their leader, Jerry, had taken a fancy to Sasha. However, she had always felt scornful about that matter, so Adam did not expect she would suddenly agree to it.

"Are you sure?" He stayed quiet for a long time before asking a confirmation.

'A' was only a code name, and behind it was a giant and well-thought-out team. The nature of their organization was unlike Undercity because they were involved in trading military arms and drugs. They even had a specialized base in the Golden Trigon, where everyone was well-trained.

However, Jerry was a playboy who particularly enjoyed the chase. Hence, when Undercity and A partnered up back then, he was attracted to Sasha when he first saw her and even pursued her for two years. However, she only had eyes for Colton back then and ignored him. Most importantly, that man had a peculiar hobby regarding a certain activity.

"I'm positive. My body is just a shell, so what's the use of keeping it?" she spoke coldly as hatred flashed across her eyes. She gritted her teeth, adding, "I want Colton to experience what it's like to lose a family member!"
