The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1855

There was a knock on the door barely minutes after they entered the suite. When Lilin went over and opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of several people in office attire. One of them came forth and explained why they were there—Adam had to be taken away for investigation as several of the Adam Group's companies had been suspected of operating illegally within the country, in addition to evading taxes on a massive scale.

Melinda was stunned, and Lilin was at a loss too. However, Adam was remarkably calm for someone who had just wept bitterly. It was almost as if he had known that they would come for him sooner or later. He walked over calmly and said, "I'll go with you."

Melinda could not accept what was happening. "What's going on?"

Adam smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the best version of myself for you and Lilin. I'll have to go with them now. You can contact my lawyer if you still want a divorce."

Tears welled up in Melinda's eyes. "Brian..."

"Dad!" Lilin exclaimed.

The people took Adam with them and left only Melinda and Lilin in the hotel suite.

Melinda sat blankly on the sofa and said nothing, so Lilin came over and held her hand. "Don't worry about Dad. He's just cooperating with the investigation. There's a chance the outcome might not be as bad as we think!"
