Chapter 31 Danger! Early Warning Of The Exposure Of The Fake Identity Of Mr. Riley
"Get out-Jacob, get out!" Adeline fiercely glared at him.
Jacob raised the gift in his hand and contemptuously smiled, "I'll leave too even if you don't ask me to. Just like this... doesn't deserve my gift."
Then, Jacob turned round and left.
Who knew in the elevator downstairs, he ran into Steffen who had just returned from running errands. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When they met, they were both startled for a while.
Steffen was the first to react. He bet Jacob up without saying a word.
Jacob lay on the ground and wailed, "Why are you beating me!"
"I don't know!" Steffen righteously answered, "There must be nothing good that you appear at here during this hour! Beat you first!"
Then, Steffen held his head high and went upstairs.
Jacob, ...
---
The other side.
Adeline walked into the office, and she went to help Curtis sit in the wheelchair first, then walked to Owen.
"May I ask how much my husband owes you, we'll find a way to pay it back."
"No need. I just notified the accountant to pay the money back." Steffen, who had just came back from running errands, quickly picked up the "drama".
Owen pretended to glance at the phone, and shook his trembling legs, "That's fine, it's okay... I'll go first."
Then, Owen ran away in cold sweat.
As soon as he left, he texted Max, telling him not to come.The young couple was probably kissing.
On the way, he kept thinking about whether he kicked that foot very hard just now?
Would it hurt?
With Curtis's narrow-mindedness, did he need to buy a plane ticket to fly abroad overnight???
But on second thought, he did not think it was necessary.
He was helping Curtis to maintain his persona. Curtis should thank him!
At this time, in the office, Steffen solved the trouble, and quickly vacated private space for Mr. Riley and his wife.
Adeline looked at Curtis's leg in concern, "Does it hurt?"
She did not see how Owen kicked Curtis.There was a screen at the entrance, she could not see it clearly enough, but she vaguely saw Owen strike a blow!
It was really annoying!
Adeline hated such snob most!
"I'm fine." Curtis lightly coughed twice, and softly replied.
Adeline quickly poured him a cup of warm water, "Drink some hot water first."
After Curtis drinking hot water, Adeline was still worried, "There's no one here, why don't you take off your pants... I'll see if I can get you some medicine."
Curtis felt a little guilty when he saw Adeline was anxious, he should not have lied to her like this.
He stretched out to hold Adeline's hand, and gently said, "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. I'll show you at home."
Adeline did not know why, hearing Curtis's steady voice, she was suddenly relieved.
Just like that day, when he said he wanted to marry her and would do his best to treat her well. His voice was as warm as the mountain breeze, giving her a rare sense of security.
Curtis pushed the wheelchair and walked over, and sat on the sofa by propping the coffee table by himself.
Then, he waved to Adeline again, "Come here."
Adeline obediently walked over, and was tightly hugged by Curtis as soon as she sat beside him.
"Tell me, what's wrong, huh?"
With just a word, Adeline suddenly burst into tears in Curtis's arms.
She did not say anything, just kept crying.
The cry was quite loud at first, with trills, as if to vent all the grievances in her heart.
In the end, she cried more and more silently, whining like a kitten. Maybe she was tired from crying, and her mood eased.
Curtis felt very bad listening to it, and patted Adeline's back with a gloomy expression.
After she calmed down, only he asked in a low voice, "Now can you tell me, what happened?"
Adeline pulled away from Curtis's arms, wiped her tears off, and forced a smile, "I'm fine. I feel much more comfortable after crying. Just some incident in the class, nothing much. I can handle it."
Then, Adeline sensibly held Curtis's hand, "I also can't help you with your matter. I'm sorry. I really shouldn't be so wilful and come here when I'm having a grievance."
"No, you have the right to be wilful. Because you're my wife. You don't need to be so sensible.
And I'm really happy that you can come to me when you're having a grievance. Come on, tell me. Even if I can't help you solve it, at least I can be a shoulder to cry on."
Adeline was still hesitating, but Curtis added again.
"Adeline, we're husband and wife. I hope you can be honest with me instead of solving everything behind my back."
Adeline nodded and told him the general story.
The more Curtis listened to it, the darker his face became. He almost crushed the armrest of the leather sofa with one hand.
The next moment, Curtis took Adeline into his arms once again, gently stroked the back of her head, preventing her from seeing his murderous expression.
"You're having a grievance."
Just few simple words, Adeline satisfyingly curled the corners of her lips. She reached out to Curtis's back and tightly hugged him around the waist.
At this moment, she was a little fond of the warmth and gentleness in Curtis's arms.
She actually did not want much.
At this time, she just wanted someone to say what she wanted to hear, but not always criticise her.
After all, this was all caused by her family of origin. She was accused and cursed since she was a child, which made her very insecure.
After a long while, Curtis only asked, "Adeline, when u came, did you ever think about what do you need me to do for you?"
Adeline faintly shook her head, "I'm already content that you can hug me like this."
Curtis slightly pulled Adeline away, and seriously asked, "You think about it again. What're you going to do with this matter? What can I do for you? Tell me, and I'll see if I can help you."
Curtis knew Adeline was not a canary in a cage.
She might be aggrieved and flustered for a moment, but this was only temporary. She would have her own ideas after she calmed down.
So he could not make decisions for Adeline, but to help her grow on the premise of respecting her.
Of course, if Adeline was not ruthless enough, he would secretly make it up in the back!
Let those bad guys get the revenge they deserved!
Adeline understood the meaning in Curtis's words. She calmed down and thought about it.
"I want to find out exactly what video content the parents of Class A received."
As soon as the voice fell, Adeline's phone sounded with a "Ding".
Adeline subconsciously opened her phone, and saw a video and voice message from Melissa.
"Adeline, I'm so annoyed! I looked for a few parents that I know and asked the video from them. Have a look!"
"But, don't be angry! You just watch what exactly is going on, and we'll find out the bastard behind this together!"
Adeline replied with a word "Okay", and watched it with Curtis.
She could vaguely see the gate of the Burton family's villa in the background when she opened the video.
Harriet Smith, a servant of the Burton family, was standing sideways, chatting with another woman, whom face could not be clearly seen.
The quality of the video was not very good, and it was dark at that time. It seemed like a sneak shot, so it seemed like there was a high degree of authenticity.
The woman surprisingly asked, "Is everything you said is true?"
Harriet affirmed, "It's absolutely true. I happened to be cleaning on the second floor that day! Adeline looks like a decent person, and she's still a teacher in the key school, how could she do such a thing!"
The woman echoed, "I know right! Then how did she lie to Mr. Baker?"
Harriet contemptuously laughed, "What else, just said there was student's issues to discuss. I also heard Mr. Baker say that since it was about his child, then just talked about it in the living room."
Then Adeline said the child's file was kept in the room, and asked Mr. Baker to come to her room to see it.
In the end, she seduced Mr. Baker when she got into the room. When I was cleaning the handrail on the second floor, I heard Mr. Baker loudly shouted, saying that you can't do this! Ms. Burton, please be respectful!"
