Chapter 31 Danger! Early Warning Of The Exposure Of The Fake Identity Of Mr. Riley
"Get out-Jacob, get out!" Adeline fiercely glared at him.
Jacob raised the gift in his hand and contemptuously smiled, "I'll leave too even if you don't ask me to. Just like this... doesn't deserve my gift."
Then, Jacob turned round and left.
Who knew in the elevator downstairs, he ran into Steffen who had just returned from running errands.
When they met, they were both startled for a while.
Steffen was the first to react. He bet Jacob up without saying a word.
Jacob lay on the ground and wailed, "Why are you beating me!"
"I don't know!" Steffen righteously answered, "There must be nothing good that you appear at here during this hour! Beat you first!"
Then, Steffen held his head high and went upstairs.
Jacob, ...

The other side.
Adeline walked into the office, and she went to help Curtis sit in the wheelchair first, then walked to Owen.
"May I ask how much my husband owes you, we'll find a way to pay it back."
"No need. I just notified the accountant to pay the money back." Steffen, who had just came back from running errands, quickly picked up the "drama".
Owen pretended to glance at the phone, and shook his trembling legs, "That's fine, it's okay... I'll go first."
Then, Owen ran away in cold sweat.
As soon as he left, he texted Max, telling him not to come.The young couple was probably kissing.
On the way, he kept thinking about whether he kicked that foot very hard just now?
Would it hurt?
With Curtis's narrow-mindedness, did he need to buy a plane ticket to fly abroad overnight???
But on second thought, he did not think it was necessary.
He was helping Curtis to maintain his persona. Curtis should thank him!
At this time, in the office, Steffen solved the trouble, and quickly vacated private space for Mr. Riley and his wife.
Adeline looked at Curtis's leg in concern, "Does it hurt?"
She did not see how Owen kicked Curtis.There was a screen at the entrance, she could not see it clearly enough, but she vaguely saw Owen strike a blow!
It was really annoying!
Adeline hated such snob most!
"I'm fine." Curtis lightly coughed twice, and softly replied.
Adeline quickly poured him a cup of warm water, "Drink some hot water first."
After Curtis drinking hot water, Adeline was still worried, "There's no one here, why don't you take off your pants... I'll see if I can get you some medicine."
Curtis felt a little guilty when he saw Adeline was anxious, he should not have lied to her like this.
He stretched out to hold Adeline's hand, and gently said, "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. I'll show you at home."
Adeline did not know why, hearing Curtis's steady voice, she was suddenly relieved.
Just like that day, when he said he wanted to marry her and would do his best to treat her well. His voice was as warm as the mountain breeze, giving her a rare sense of security.
Curtis pushed the wheelchair and walked over, and sat on the sofa by propping the coffee table by himself.
Then, he waved to Adeline again, "Come here."
Adeline obediently walked over, and was tightly hugged by Curtis as soon as she sat beside him.
"Tell me, what's wrong, huh?"
With just a word, Adeline suddenly burst into tears in Curtis's arms.
She did not say anything, just kept crying.
The cry was quite loud at first, with trills, as if to vent all the grievances in her heart.
