Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red

[Status: COMPLETED] In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support. In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age. Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage. In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person. Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement. “I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.” The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage. “Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.” Adrienne furrowed her brows. “But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind. “No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.” However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

The Tides Have Turned (1)

Hunter could sense that something was off between Adrienne and the man accompanying her. He had never seen Adrienne look this fearful before and wondered if something had happened between the two during his absence. He helped Adrienne back to her feet and could feel the other man's gaze on him.

"Are you alright, Miss Addie?" She was too pale. What could've happened for Adrienne to react like this? He recognized the man as Myrtle Han's elder brother.

"Let's go back. I'm tired." Adrienne leaned her weight against her bodyguard. She could feel Alistair's heavy stare on her and tried to ignore it.

Hunter gave Alistair one last look before taking Adrienne away. That man gave him an odd vibe, more sinister than what he'd felt from Lennox Qin.

When Adrienne arrived at her room, she started to have difficulty breathing. She clung to Hunter for help, and he directed her to focus on her deep breathing while Mother Wang panicked upon seeing Adrienne's state.
