Chapter 126 There's Not Much Time Left...

"Bang!" The door swung open as Olivia kicked it in.

"Have you all lost your minds? Do you know that you're committing a crime here?"

As Olivia's voice landed, it caused the expressions of Victoria, Rebecca, and Edith to change.

Olivia marched over to Edith in anger, "Are you even a mother? When you heard they were plotting this against your own daughter, how could you not utter a word! Did you misplace your conscience somewhere?"

Edith turned her face awkwardly and stammered, "I... I didn't know they planned this. I... I hadn't even had a chance to say anything, and you barged in!"

Olivia shot her mother a disdainful look, "I'm very disappointed in you."

Saying that, she went straight for her phone. Picking it up, she dialed Adeline's number.

Rebecca exchanged a glance with Victoria.

Then, Victoria steeled herself and walked over, grabbing the phone from Olivia's hand and hanging up the call.

"Hey, Mom!" Olivia exclaimed in shock, "Give me back my phone. Otherwise, something really bad might happen!"

Victoria held the phone and took a step back, "Olivia, in a serious situation like this, you can't afford to be too kind-hearted! Trust me, you'll come to appreciate what I'm doing in the future. Every move I make is for you and your brother!"

"No way! This is insane, you've gone totally crazy!" Olivia was so exasperated that she stomped her foot, "You're not doing all this for me and my brother, you're doing it for yourself!"

As she said this, Olivia moved to snatch the phone.

Rebecca signaled with a look, and the Morris family's bodyguards moved forward to restrain Olivia's hands.

Olivia screamed, "Let go of me! Let go... or it'll be too late! Mom, don't make me hate you!"

Olivia struggled desperately, but she was held tight.

Her heart grew colder inch by inch.

...

Outside, the rain intensified.

Adeline's clothes were soaked through, clinging to her skin, and a bone-chilling cold set in.

Yet, this coldness paled in comparison to the icy feeling gripping her heart at this moment.

Walking aimlessly, she didn't even know where she had wandered to. When she looked ahead, she realized she was in a dead-end alley.

She turned around to retreat, only to find a group of thugs blocking the entrance of the alley and leering at her.

A shiver ran down her spine as she remembered there was no way out behind her.

"Hey, cutie, you've got a nice figure. We're gonna have some fun with you today, boys!"

"Hey, guys, I've never had a teacher before. Just thinking about it gets me excited."

The lewd voices of the men reached her ears, one by one.

Taking a step back, Adeline searched frantically for something to defend herself with, "You... you want money? I can give it to you. All of it, just spare me!"

"We don't want money, we want you!" The man, who was leading, advanced towards Adeline.

Adeline looked around, but the alley was deserted, without even a stick to defend herself with!

Edith's curse echoed in her mind again.

"You're never going to have good luck in this lifetime! You're destined to be unlucky forever, to lead a miserable and solitary life till the end!"

Adeline's body trembled once more.

Was this truly her fate?!

No-!

She wouldn't believe it!

She'd been kind and worked hard since childhood. This shouldn't be her fate!

Seeing her pleas were in vain, Adeline started shouting desperately.

"Help! Is anyone there?"

While screaming, she targeted the man, who was closing in, and kicked him squarely in the groin.

The man recoiled in pain, and another from behind rushed in, yanking her hair and delivering a slap to her face.

A resounding smack left her disoriented.

Before she could react, she was shoved to the ground.

With a tearing sound, her sleeve was ripped.

"I won't let you animals have your way!"

Saying that, Adeline's head was about to collide with the wall!

But in the next instant, the alley echoed with a man's agonizing scream.

A familiar female figure in black seized one of the men's arm with swift precision and snapped it.

Then, with a swift kick, she disabled another man.

Then, it was immediately followed by the sound of a dog barking.

Woof, woof, woof-

It was the General!

Adeline fed the General every day, and she could recognize its bark!

Adeline's heart lit up with a glimmer of joy as she witnessed the General's massive form charging over and clamping its teeth onto one of the thugs' arms.

"Ah-ouch-!" The thug cried out in pain as he was struggling to shake off the General's grip.

The rain drizzled down steadily.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Adeline, who looked disheveled, glanced up and saw Steffen holding a black umbrella, pushing Curtis towards her.

She swore it was the most beautiful sight she'd ever seen in her life.

In the misty rain, a strikingly handsome man in a white shirt and a black wool coat sat in a wheelchair, extending his well-defined hand towards her. His voice, laced with apology and warmth, fell along with the raindrops.

"Sorry Mrs. Riley, I'm late."

In that moment, Adeline couldn't discern whether the wetness on her face was from tears or raindrops...
