Chapter 167 Hubby Stood Up
"I choose Adeline!" Curtis's voice was resolute, without a hint of hesitation. His large hand firmly grasped Rebecca's lower jaw, almost as if he intended to crush it.
Rebecca was taken aback, seemingly surprised that Curtis would make a decision so quickly. He replied without even needing to think!
In the next moment, her lower jaw throbbed in pain, and she stared at Curtis in disbelief. "You... You're actually giving up Olivia for that slut? She's your niece, you know!"
Curtis's gaze turned icy, and he tightened his grip. "I'll ask you once more, where's Adeline? If you choose not to answer, you might never speak again in this lifetime."
As his words fell, Steffen rushed in while panting heavily.
"Mr. Riley, we've got a situation! The General is barking like crazy at room 634..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Curtis had already rushed out like a whirlwind.
Steffen quickly followed.
At first, he had contemplated forcibly entering the room, but the fear of witnessing something he shouldn't had deterred him. As a result, he had no other choice but to inform Curtis first.
When Curtis arrived at room 634, the General was furiously barking.
Bark! Bark! Bark!
The General kept scratching at the door.
"Step back!"
With a command, the General stepped aside, and Curtis immediately kicked the door open.
It was a perfect team effort between a man and his dog.
With a loud bang, the door swung open, and Curtis stormed inside.
Meanwhile, Adeline was holding a stun gun and pressing it against one of the thugs.
Zzzz...
The thug was jolted by an electric shock, which coursed through his body and sent him collapsing to the side.
Adeline was frightened and quickly ran toward Curtis, hugging him tightly. "Hubby, hubby... I... I think I might have just killed someone."
Her hands were trembling as she pointed to the four big men lying nearby. She was so scared that she had forgotten Curtis was standing on his own two feet.
When she had entered this room earlier, she had already felt that something was wrong. When the back of her head had started to ache, she finally realized she had fallen for a trap.
As soon as she saw the four men in the room, she quickly came up with a plan. She pretended to faint and lay on the ground. Then, she secretly took out the stun gun from her keychain.
When one of the thugs tried to move her, she immediately pressed the stun gun against his chest.
The first thug had collapsed without even having a chance to scream.
Later, when the two thugs pounced on her together, she was terrified. She wielded the stun gun Curtis had given her as if it were a knife and swung it wildly. By pure accident, she shocked another thug.
Then, the third thug lunged at her with harmful intentions. In her panic, she aimed the stun gun at his groin area.
This time, it was the most gruesome shock.
The thug cried out in agony, begging for mercy, and it seemed like there was even a hint of a burnt smell.
Curtis coldly eyed the four thugs lying on the ground and snorted, "Well, they deserve it!"
At this point, Adeline's head was spinning as her nerves had stretched to the limit. When she heard what Curtis said, it scared her even more.
"What... What do we do now? I'm going to jail..." Her consciousness faded as she finished her words. "Anyway... it's... it's good you're here."
As her words trailed off, she passed out.
Curtis quickly caught her and carried her back to the private room.
As the door to the room opened, Rebecca instinctively looked up. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Seeing Adeline unscathed, her clothes not even disheveled, Rebecca stood up angrily and exclaimed, "No way! How can this slut be perfectly fine?"
Curtis gave Rebecca a stern look and warned, "Rebecca Morris, my patience has limits. Refrain from calling her a slut again."
"Slut! She seduced you, so she's definitely a slut!" Rebecca showed no fear at all!
Curtis's expression darkened to an extreme. He turned to Sara and said sternly, "Strip her and take her to Victoria's father's room!"
Upon hearing this, Rebecca's eyes widened as she stared at Curtis. "How dare you! Curtis, one of my uncles is the Director-General of Customs, another is the Chief of Police for West District, and my father is Tristan Morris! Do you even dare to lay a hand on me, huh?"
"Well, it's true that it might lead to some complications." Curtis admitted candidly, "But I'm not afraid of a little trouble."
With those words, Sara took Rebecca away.
Rebecca struggled and screamed all the way.
"Curtis Riley, you're insane!"
"Curtis Riley, I hate you!"
"Curtis Riley, I'm going to kill you!"
...
Rebecca's voice, perhaps too piercing, prompted Adeline to regain consciousness. Adeline touched her throbbing head as she woke up, and found herself in Curtis's arms.
"Hmm? How did I end up here?"
Adeline looked at Curtis, who was sitting in a wheelchair and holding her. "Hey hubby, I remember you just stood up, didn't you?"
