Chapter 189 The "Affair" Is Discovered
Curtis was currently in a private room dealing with the matter of Jonathan.
Seeing Logan's call, he calmly answered it in front of Adeline.
Logan's voice came through the phone.
"Uncle Curtis, it's me."
"Okay," Curtis responded calmly, reaching out to hold one of Adeline's hands and gently rubbing it in his palm.
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Logan's voice finally came through.
"Is Adeline still there?"
"Yes," Curtis's voice remained calm, giving no hint of any unusual circumstances.
"Uncle Curtis, I have a favor to ask.
"Tell me."
"Can you protect Adeline for me and make sure Jonathan doesn't harm her? If possible, help that girl too. She's very pitiful. Later, I'll also trouble you to bring Adeline back."
Curtis raised an eyebrow at Adeline and gently said, "You can rest assured, I will protect Adeline for sure."
After saying that, Curtis hung up the phone and turned to Adeline, " Logan asked me to protect you."
Upon witnessing this scene, Jonathan couldn't hold back.
"What the heck? Weren't you with that bookworm? How come you're with Curtis?"
Jonathan then glanced at the two of them holding hands and remarked, "Impressive, Ms. Burton, you've actually crawled into the bed of Mr. Riley in Prodiff. No wonder you don't pay any attention to me."
Taking advantage of the situation, Adeline sat on Curtis's lap, displaying an air of authority, "Since you know now, I won't hide it from you. Anyway, when it comes to my affairs, our Mr. Riley will definitely take care of it. The person I want to protect, he will protect as well."
With a somewhat uncertain look, Adeline glanced at Curtis and asked, "Is that right?"
"Everything you said is correct." Curtis replied affectionately.
Adeline couldn't help but smile, and when she looked at Jonathan again, her expression turned somewhat fierce.
"Jonathan, don't disturb Quinna! She's a good student and is about to take the early admissions exam for the top university. If you dare to bully her again, I won't spare you! I'm not the same Ms. Burton you used to know!"
Jonathan sat on the ground, unable to get up due to the pain, but he still clapped arrogantly.
"Oh, impressive! But don't you know that your current Mr. Riley is both crippled and in decline? Do you really think he can protect you?"
Seeing that, Sara raised his fist again and glancing at Curtis, "Mr. Riley, let me finish him off, so you won't have any future trouble!"
Curtis gave her a cold look, and Sara had no choice but to grit her teeth and lower her hand.
Jonathan became even more arrogant, "See, Ms. Burton, Curtis is afraid to finish me off. Hahaha..." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Curtis patted Adeline's leg, signaling her to stand up.
Once Adeline stood up, he slowly pushed his wheelchair to the corner of the room. Without saying a word, he grabbed Jonathan's hair and lifted his head, then with a loud thud, he slammed it into the white wall.
Blood splattered on the wall, a gruesome sight to behold.
Jonathan's head felt as if it had split open, and he heard Curtis's calm voice in his ears.
"I won't kill you, but I don't want my people's hands to be tainted because of the likes of you. For a despicable creature like you, I won't sacrifice my people's lives."
Saying that, Curtis looked at Sara.
Sara's eyes instantly turned red, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Steffen lifted Jonathan's head and gave him a few more slaps.
"Brat, how dare you address my boss by his name!?"
Jonathan was released, and he slumped against the wall, still arrogant.
"Do you dare to keep hitting me? You're asking for death! When my dad arrives, you're all doomed!"
Curtis nodded. "Alright, I'll call Tristan to come pick you up."
With that, Curtis signaled to Steffen.
Steffen immediately dialed Tristan's number.
Adeline couldn't quite understand what Curtis was planning to do.
She had interacted with Tristan before, and he was a biased man who was so partial to his son!
After hanging up the phone, Steffen gave a signal to his subordinates.
At this point, several subordinates surrounded Jonathan.
Jonathan couldn't figure out Curtis's intentions and became nervous. "What... What do you want to do?"
