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.
