Chapter 14 Mr. Riley Doted on His Wife With High-handed Aura

Jacob rushed in first and was infuriated when he saw Adeline's head so close to a strange man.

"Adeline! What are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Baker!"

As soon as he spoke, Jacob immediately bent over like a bootlicker and welcomed Mr. Baker in.

Following closely behind, three bodyguards entered and used their backs to block the door.

Seeing the situation, Curtis restrained himself and adjusted his glasses, reminding himself of his current persona. However, his cold gaze behind the lenses betrayed his shock.

When he saw Jacob rudely pointing at Adeline, he wished he could stand up and break his finger right then and there.

But he couldn't.

He couldn't compromise his public image for this piece of shit.

Jacob, who had no idea that he was practically a dead man in Curtis's eyes, glared at Adeline, who was too angry to speak.

"Hurry up and apologize! What are you still standing there for?"

As he spoke, Jacob brought over a chair for Mr. Baker to sit on.

Mr. Baker immediately sat on the chair like a lord, crossing one leg and leering at Adeline.

Adeline was about to explode with anger!

Before she could say anything, Curtis held her hand and coldly questioned, "May I ask what my wife did wrong that requires an apology?"

Jacob pointed at Mr. Baker's head, "Why? She smashed Mr. Baker like this, and do you think there's no need for an apology?"

Jacob didn't recognize Curtis and completely disregarded him, casting him a disdainful look as he spoke.

And Mr. Baker's brow slightly furrowed upon hearing the words "like this." But the thought of being able to hold the beauty in his arms soon suppressed his displeasure.

Curtis glanced at Mr. Baker's head and casually remarked, "Oh, that's a pity. Why didn't she smash you to death? My wife is a kind-hearted person. If someone can provoke her to the point of smashing their head, he must have done something unforgivable."

Upon hearing this, Adeline's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't expect Curtis to actually speak up for her.

Throughout her life, she had always faced everything alone. It was only after encountering Melissa that things got slightly better.

"Hey, enough with the apologies and head-smashing talk! Can you two stop exchanging glances and flirting in front of us?"

Jacob, feeling coldly ignored, kicked the table in front of him in anger.

The teapot on the table slid directly towards Curtis's side, narrowly missing him and almost scalding him.

"Jacob Burton!" Adeline, infuriated, almost shouted, "Do you have no shame? Why don't you mention why I smashed his head?"

"Shut up! I'm your third brother! How dare you address me by my name? Show some respect! Hurry up and come apologize, say some kind words to Mr. Baker. Otherwise, you'll only embarrass yourself more in front of this man! Or..."

Jacob intentionally paused, "Or do you want me to say in front of this man why you smashed Mr. Baker's head?"

Adeline felt utterly embarrassed upon hearing this.

Mr. Baker let out a light chuckle and patted his thigh.

"Hey, come here and sit. Call me sweetheart and apologize. Maybe if I'm in a better mood, I'll let this matter go."

Adeline stared fiercely at Mr. Baker.

Seeing that Adeline refused to approach, Mr. Baker smirked and taunted.

"Or do you want me to tell this useless waste how I touched your leg before you smashed my head?"

"You shameless!" Adeline glared at both Jacob and Mr. Baker.

Mr. Baker acted as if he didn't care at all and proudly looked at Curtis, "Hey, you useless guy in a wheelchair, how come you have no reaction when I mention touching your wife's leg?"

As soon as he spoke, Adeline immediately stood in front of Curtis and sternly declared, "My husband is not a useless guy! Even if he's physically disadvantaged, he's still much better than you

two filthy-minded individuals! People like you don't deserve to live in this world!"

Curtis sat behind Adeline, and his gaze filled with a chilling rage.

His blood was burning and shouting!

It had been a long time since he felt this way, being so eager to completely disregard everything and just kill someone!

Fortunately, Adeline's calling him "husband" brought back some of his sanity.

Hearing her defending him like that, his emotions calmed down.

Curtis was trying to regain his composure, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of Adeline. But Jacob thought he was a complete wimp and couldn't help but smirk disdainfully.

"Look at you, what kind of person are you following? His own wife is being bullied, and he doesn't even have the guts to speak up."

"Jacob Burton, who I marry is none of your business! In any case, I haven't done anything wrong, and I absolutely won't apologize! Now please leave immediately! Don't interfere with me and my husband's meal!"

"If we don't leave, what can you do?" Mr. Baker leisurely took out a cigarette, not very seriously blowing smoke in Adeline's direction, "Not only will we not leave, but you won't be able to leave either. Today, even if you're unwilling to apologize, you'll have to do it. And in front of your useless husband, you'll have to serve me well. Let me vent my anger, and only then can you leave."

As he spoke, Mr. Baker glanced at the bodyguards, with a look that suggested he had Adeline and her husband completely under control.

Adeline was furious at this shameless talk, "You're so arrogant, aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"Call the police?" Mr. Baker chuckled, "What are you going to accuse me of? Accusing me of wanting to sleep with you? The location being your room. I can say that you invited me to your house." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"And your parents, your brother, they can all testify that you seduced me. Attempted seduction turned into defamation against me. As for here, the bodyguards belong to your family. What's it got to do with me?"

Looking at Jacob who remained silent, Adeline was so angry that she almost burst into tears.

Family should always have each other's backs!

None of her family supported her, so it was no wonder these outsiders would bully her like this!

At this moment, Curtis, who had understood the situation, raised his eyes indifferently and spoke with an icy tone.

"Oh, this is how you've been bullying her?"

"So what if I bully her? What can a cripple like you do to me? We have three bodyguards here, plus us would be five. You, a useless person, can't even stand up. And even if you could, you wouldn't stand a chance against us."

With that, Mr. Baker stood up and swaggered towards Curtis.

Curtis looked at Mr. Baker as if he was looking at a dead man, with his indifferent tone, "What if I tell you I could crush you without even standing up?"

"Hahaha." Mr. Baker chuckled, "That's probably the funniest joke I've heard all year."

As his voice fell, Mr. Baker leaned in close to Curtis's face, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, your wife's legs are very smooth..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Curtis grabbed the few strands of hair on Mr. Baker's head and forcefully slammed it against the wall with a loud thud.

With his other hand, he swiftly picked up a glass from the table and shattered it, pressing the sharp shards against Mr. Baker's carotid artery.

The speed of his actions caught everyone present off guard.

Adeline couldn't even see how Curtis made his move, but she inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Mr. Baker, stunned from hitting his head, even forgot to react. It was only when the cold glass fragments pressed against his neck that he howled in pain.

"Ah-my head, it hurts... What are you all waiting for? Attack!"

"Shush, don't get agitated. Once the carotid artery is severed, even doctors can't save you." Curtis spoke gently with his lips slightly curving up, complementing the golden-rimmed glasses on his nose, giving him an appearance of sophistication. It almost seemed like he was earnestly discussing something with someone.

Although he spoke those words, there was no intention of loosening his grip on Mr. Baker's head. Instead, his gaze turned extremely sincere as he looked at Adeline.

"Babe," Curtis called out with a hint of grievance, "I didn't want to resort to violence, but this person just made me so angry. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"
