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.
