King of Hollywood

Chapter 351 - 351 75 Price

?Chapter 351: Chapter 75 Price Chapter 351: Chapter 75 Price Nicole Kidman was that kind of dominant woman. Although Adrian didn’t interact with her frequently, he was completely certain based on his memories, so it was only a matter of time before she and the control-obsessed Tom Cruise would split.

To conquer a dominant woman, one must be even more dominant, completely overpowering her. Gender equality has always been mere lip service, and marital respect is just a beautiful wish. Living together, one must invariably be more accommodating, an unavoidable fact. Patriarchal society has existed much longer than matriarchal society and continues to this day; even the rise of feminism cannot change this reality quickly.

Thus, the family life of strong women is often not harmonious because the husband’s status at home is inevitably low, and while most men can endure temporarily, they cannot endure forever, especially since women subconsciously desire to be conquered.

As a woman becomes more and more dominant, narrowing the gap with men, and neither party is willing to yield, conflict becomes inevitable. However, Adrian harbored no such worries. Not talk of the future, but even now, the women who could match his dominance were few. The women around him, though shrewd or strong-willed, either gritted their teeth or reluctantly stayed by his side. So, what strength did Nicole have to be assertive in front of him?

Thus, under Adrian’s cold stare, Nicole quickly backed down. Her previous rage disappeared, curling up and showing a weak expression. Her deep blue eyes fluttered, seemingly filled with fright and grievance, trembling like a frightened little rabbit, she pleaded in a begging tone, “Please…”

They held this standoff for a while until Adrian, staring at her, finally stepped aside.

“Sorry,” he murmured quietly, doing nothing more. He was well aware that most of Nicole’s fury was not directed at him but ignited because of him.

After he released her, Nicole, with her arms crossed at her chest, stood still for a long time before realizing what had happened. She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and glanced at Adrian with a complex expression before heading towards the hallway. However, she stopped after a few steps, hesitated, then turned around and murmured, “Sorry.”

Then, she hurried away without looking back.

Watching her disappearing figure, Adrian finally exhaled. Although what he said earlier was in anger, if he had really acted on it, Nicole might not have resisted, but that could have made things very bad later. The reason he had been able to smoothly progress to his current status in just a few years, apart from his foresight and having a similarly talented best friend who complemented him, was his excellent self-control.

Just like the phrase he often quoted: “Greed is good, as long as you know how to control it.” One shouldn’t overlook long-term gains for short-term benefits, as acquiring them might still lead to losses. Hence, the calm Adrian knew very well when to act, whether at a Paramount reception or now.

It won’t be too long, Adrian told himself after coming down from upstairs. After standing for a few more minutes, he then headed towards the door. Cruise would likely be here for a while, so it was better for him to leave first to avoid making Nicole feel awkward, as there was nothing else for him here.
