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.

One Step Forward (2)

Adrienne didn't need to do much aside from accompanying and consoling Samantha. Gavin and the lawyer he brought with him dealt with the police involved in Samantha's mother's case. Since the video the girl recorded proved that her mother was mentally unstable, it would make it easier for Lennox to become her guardian.

"Do you think Mom would hate me for doing this?" Samantha suddenly asked. Her hands unconsciously gripped her pants and shivered as the cold air from the air conditioner hit her exposed arm.

Adrienne's hand stopped midair as she cleaned the small cut on the girl's lips. She could only do this much, but later she would ask Gavin to take them to the hospital. She draped her coat over Samantha's shoulder to protect her from the cold.

"Is this another excuse you came up with for your mother? Would it change anything? Instead of worrying about her, why don't you think of what you would do from now on?"
