My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1823

Uriah did not want to obey Jefferson, but Weldon refused to listen to him. Weldon only followed Miss Ninetina's orders, and she had ordered him not to let Adrienne get hurt. Any average person hanging over another person's shoulder for a long time would get a little injured from the blood rush to the brain.

Therefore, Weldon intended to put down Adrienne, but as soon as he moved, Uriah stopped him and warned, "Weldon, did I ask you to put her down?"

Weldon completely ignored him as he set Adrienne down on the ground.

Uriah was fuming. He gestured to Finn to pick Adrienne up again. However, Weldon stood in front of Adrienne and blocked his way. Whoever wanted to touch her had to get through him.

They hadn't finished dealing with Jefferson, hence they had no space for any internal conflict at this instant. Weldon was a stubborn man; he was loyal to Miss Ninetina and no one else.

Uriah had no choice but to signal Finn to step back. Finn was dissatisfied with Weldon, but

he dared not defy Uriah, therefore he had no choice but to back away.

Uriah peeked at the wounded Jefferson again and commented, "Captain Hefner, we've let go of your precious girl as you asked, so please go back to the car and bring our people out to us."

Uriah was a cunning man. Although Jefferson was already injured, Uriah still did not dare to let his guard down around him. He was being cautious, in case anything happened.

Jefferson averted his gaze from Adrienne on the ground. He dragged his injured leg and limped to the car.

He opened the car door and pulled out a man whose mouth he had gagged. He pulled the man up with both hands and threw him forward. "Here's the man you want."

"I-" Uriah got excited at the sight of a fellow member. He stepped forward and was about to say something, but he quickly stopped himself.

He glanced at Finn, who immediately went forward to pick up the man from the ground.

"I have done everything you asked me to do." After Jefferson came back, he returned his gaze to Adrienne. He didn't look away for even half a second. He knew that these men would not let her go just because he had

injured himself. However, he knew it was better to do as they said for the time being to drag out time.

It had not been long since he escaped. Before he had any time to plan his next move, he received word that Adrienne had been abducted. He had no choice but to race back here.

On the way back, he contacted Vincent and the others. He briefly told them what to do. Hopefully, this time they would pull through.

Currently, Adrienne was in the hands of the enemy and he could not act rashly. As long as he could ensure Adrienne's safety, he was willing to do anything.

"Didn't you just say that Miss Ninetina is in your car? Where is she?" Uriah asked in a strange tone.

"Did I say that she was in my car as well?" Jefferson snorted coldly. His aura was still very overbearing and it didn't seem like he was being threatened at all.

Jefferson did not say it outright, but everyone knew what he meant. Uriah was passed off and he decided to take it out on Adrienne. He raised his leg and kicked her hard.

One kick was not enough and he was ready to give another one. Weldon immediately protected Adrienne. "If you touch her again, I'll

have to step in!"

At the same time, Jefferson's eyes were red with fury. "Uriah!"

"Jefferson, you just shot your left leg. Now, if you shoot your right leg again, I promise I won't touch a hair of hers," Uriah spoke casually. He didn't expect Jefferson to really fire a second time and he was ready to kick Adrienne. However, before he could, Jefferson fired a shot.

Bang—

There was a gunshot and Jefferson's right leg was wounded. The blood flowed down his wound and stained his black trousers.

Jefferson's legs were injured, but he did not fall. He stood up firmly and commanded, "Give her back to me!"

"He's really a hard nut." Uriah stared at Jefferson intently. Generally, someone who could be so ruthless to themselves would not be easy to deal with. If he did not take Jefferson down, he would definitely have to suffer in the future.

Even if Miss Ninetina hadn't told them to take Jefferson's life, he could not leave Jefferson alone. He had to cut off this loose end.

He added, "Now, throw away your gun."

In an instant, Jefferson raised his hand and

threw his gun down.

After confirming that Jefferson was no longer a threat, Uriah waved his hand and instructed, "You guys go ahead and serve Captain Hefner well."

The men from before started moving closer as soon as they got the order, but Weldon did not move.

Uriah pointed at him. "Weldon, you go as well."

Weldon was reluctant, but he still went.

In their eyes, Jefferson was the biggest threat. Everyone's attention was on him. They were all very wary of him, for fear that he would pull some sort of trick again.

However, no one had expected that when they moved away from Adrienne, the supposedly unconscious Adrienne stood up next to Uriah who was standing alone.

She quickly snatched the gun from Uriah's hand. Then, she grabbed Uriah's neck with one hand and held the gun against Uriah's head with the other. "Don't move, all of you. If anyone moves, I'll kill the both of us."

No one expected that the blonde unconscious girl would suddenly wake up and turn the situation around.

The surrounding men all turned their guns

and aimed them at Adrienne. Adrienne leaned against the wall with her head hidden behind Uriah. While subduing Uriah, she did not forget to protect herself. Hence, the others did not dare to shoot.

Uriah's gun was loaded and the safety was turned off. If Adrienne pulled the trigger, he was dead.

Furthermore, Uriah could feel that Adrienne was flustered. What if she panicked... Uriah feared for his life. "Nobody shoot!"

"Tell your men to drop their guns." The weak little girl who seemed so frail and scrawny suddenly had a strength overcome him. She had actually managed to take control of Uriah.

"Now, now, don't get too agitated. I'll make them put away the guns." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Adrienne poked him in the head with the gun, just as he did to her earlier. "If you don't want to die, then hurry up!"

"Throw your guns aside. No one is allowed to move without my orders."

Of course, Jefferson responded even quicker. Just as Adrienne was controlling Uriah, he took out a gun that had been hidden on his body. Before anyone even noticed that, he had already fired five bullets, each hitting a different person. They were all wounded in

their right kneecaps, which was a critical area. Consequently, they tumbled to the floor.

"Jefferson, get over here!" Adrienne looked at him and saw that his legs were still bleeding. Her heart ached, but she had no time to worry about that. She swallowed her worry and requested in a calm tone, "Spare Weldon, I have something to ask him."
