Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Busted By Her Former Mother-in-Law

Adeline had gone completely numb. She was so embarrassed that she felt like all her blood was flowing to her head.

But Victoria had no intention of holding her accountable. She did the opposite, however, shielding Adeline behind her like a mama hen and yelling angrily at Curtis.

Adeline found it difficult to believe Victoria had set her up after seeing the way she behaved.

"Curtis, look at all the ridiculous things you've done! This is ridiculous! How could you do something like this to my future daughter-in-law? You hate me and my children, don't you?"

Victoria turned to face Adeline, who was blushing and seemed embarrassed. She looked particularly angry, as if she cared most about fairness and justice. "Adeline, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you!"

Adeline didn't respond. Her mind was a jumble as she examined her ex-mother-in-law with caution.

Curtis, who was sitting in his wheelchair, laughed sarcastically and gave a soft sneer. "Victoria, you beat the clock! You even brought my father here?"

Adeline frowned.

Victoria exclaimed as she dragged Adeline out the door, "Adeline, look how he's slandering you! Don't be afraid, my dear. I'll protect you!"

Adeline's mind was a jumbled mess at this point. She couldn't tell if it was Victoria or Curtis the one who tried to hurt her, so she could only refuse.

"No. I just want to go home and be alone."

Victoria didn't give her much of a chance to flee. Instead, she seized the opportunity to drag Adeline down the hall while holding the wrist.

Victoria turned to Curtis' father, Frank Riley, and complained, "Dad, Curtis slept wit my son's fiancée! Adeline was still a virgin! He must explain what he was doing! "

When Frank heard this, he became so enraged that he yelled at the second floor, "Curtis, you bastard! Get your ass down here!"

Adeline stood in the living room, embarrassedly pinching her palms with her fingernails. She felt humiliated, as if a knife had pierced her heart.

She was supposed to marry Frank's future grandson. But, after such an embarrassing incident, she was unsure how she should deal with Logan and Frank.

Frank's expression conveyed his displeasure. He covered his chest with his hand to calm his heartbeat and ordered the butler, "Hurry up and bring that bastard son of mine here!"

The butler nodded and went upstairs, then pushed Curtis' wheelchair to the first floor through the elevator.

Frank slammed his cane on the coffee table and demanded, "Tell me what's going on!" as soon as Curtis entered the living room.

Before Curtis could say anything, Victoria ran up to Frank and complained, "Dad! Curtis' business rival put some drugs in his drinks last night! Adeline stayed at our house lately. Curtis wanted to molest her after he saw her at home. He asked a servant to take Adeline to his bedroom!"

Several bodyguards arrived just as she finished speaking, bringing in the servant, whose face was covered in bruises.

The servant who had just entered dropped to his knees and yelled, "Sir! I listened to Curtis because I was an idiot! I did as he told me since I had no guts to refuse him!

All the evidence seemed to point directly at Curtis doing this, but Adeline had a feeling that something was wrong.

She frowned as she realized Curtis had not done this.

Curtis became enraged when he returned to his room last night and discovered a woman in his bed, and he even told her to get out. He didn't appear to be expecting anyone to show up that night.

But then he had sex with her for unknown reasons, and she thought perhaps his drug was to blame for his actions.

After careful consideration, she concluded that the glass of milk Victoria had given her was the cause of her drowsiness.

Adeline realized Victoria was the one who wanted to hurt her.

Pale and mocking but helpless, Curtis sat in his wheelchair.

He said with a mocking smile, "I know nothing I can say now will help because I did hurt her. Well, I'm ready to take the punishment."

Victoria couldn't stop herself from smugly laughing.

Adeline looked perplexed at Curtis, as she couldn't figure out why he admitted this when it wasn't his fault.
