Chapter 11 Marrying the Lockwood's Son (Part 11)

Author: Ann1
Two awful-looking men stood in front of Adeline in the alley. When they saw Adeline alone, a lewd smile broke on their faces.

Adeline had never encountered a situation like this before. She started to tremble, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

One of the men called out, "Young lady, you must be lonely walking on your own. Why don't we accompany you?" They walked towards Adeline with blades in their hands.

"Wh-what are you both trying to do?" As Adeline realized the men were coming nearer towards her, Adeline turned to flee.

"Help!"

"Help!"

Before Adeline could run far, one of the men caught her and put his blade at Adeline's neck.

"B*tch, don't try anything stupid. You should be thankful that we had our eyes on you. Be good and listen to us. That way, we won't hurt you."

Adeline was mortified, and tears streamed down from her eyes.

"Sir, please let me go! If money is what you want, I can give it to you. I'll give you all I have as long as you let me go."

"How much money can a young lady like you even have? You probably got the money from sleeping with men if you had that much," he laughed sinisterly.

Adeline felt that her heart was about to give way. She began to stutter.

"I-I am Christiano Lockwood's f-fianceé. I-If you let me go, t-they will de-definitely give you m-money."

"Sam, do you know who Christiano is?" the other man asked.

"Nope."

Adeline wailed when she heard that they didn't know who Christiano was. She thought that by threatening them with Christiano's name, they would back off. Who knew they had no clue who he was.

"Sir, I really didn't lie to you, I—"

"Sweetheart, don't try to drag time to us. It might be better for you to just go along while we enjoy ourselves. Isn't that right, Paul?" Sam asked the other man.

"Yes. We will make you feel the pleasure and desire you never had before. Oh, you might even ask for more later," Paul said as his eyes glowed in a lascivious gleam.

Then, Paul tossed the blade away and pushed Adeline into a dark corner. Slowly, the two of them inched towards her.

Adeline's body hit the wall at that push, and she fell to the ground. When she tried to get up, Paul and Sam held her down.

"Let go of me, please!" Adeline begged as she attempted to prise herself off.

"Oh, we've got a feisty girl! I like it this way," Paul said as he moved closer to kiss Adeline.

"Bam!"

Paul was about to enjoy his treat when he was kicked onto the floor.

"What in the world? Who the h*ll? How dare you interrupt me?" Fumbling to get up, Paul saw a man in a mask standing in front of him.

Although the man didn't speak a word, his stance was so commanding that they were both scared out of their wits.

Sam took a few steps forward stealthily, and asked the masked man, "Who are you?"

"Someone who wants your life," the man spoke in a low voice.

Then, all that could be heard was the crisp sound of bones breaking, and the groans and cries of Paul and Sam's.

Petrified at what she had seen, Adeline backed away. Christiano stepped over Paul and Sam and walked slowly towards Adeline.

It was too dim in the alley. All Adeline knew was that she was rescued, and the next moment, darkness engulfed her. What happened after that, Adeline didn't know...

    At the VIP suite in one of Caulford City's premium hospitals. "No! Don't touch me!" Adeline frantically waved her hands around. Her face was etched with a frightened expression and covered in tears. "Mom, save me! Mom, don't go." Ronald was heartbroken to see his daughter in this state. Tears swirling in his eyes, he grabbed onto her frantically-moving hands and gently patted them. He choked, "It's all my fault, Adeline. I didn't take good care of you. You're suffering now because I didn't take care of you." Ronald had always felt that he owed Adeline a lot because all these years, he had been busy with his company and neglected her. Besides, Adeline had always been obedient and sensible, which was why Ronald had the impression that she was happy. Ronald's heart ached as he saw Adeline curled up on the hospital bed. The sight brought him immense pain, and he found it hard to breathe in it. He tucked his face into Adeline's hand and wept softly.

    "There's no way in h*ll I'm taking care of that b*tch," Helen hung up the phone and sneered. "I didn't mean to pry, but as the lady of the house, why are you being so petty with the girl? Didn't you say that she will marry Christiano in a few days?" A lavishly dressed wealthy lady commented. The more Helen thought about it, the more annoyed she became. In the end, she waved her hand goodbye and said, "I'm leaving now. Let's meet again when we're free." Then, she picked up her handbag and turned to leave. Roland stood outside for a little while. After regaining his composure, he slowly walked back into the wardroom. Then, he saw Adeline was sitting at the corner of the bed, holding the quilt in her hand, and her expression blank. He immediately went forward to her. "What's wrong, Adeline? Why aren't you resting?" Noticing the exhaustion on Ronald, Adeline felt sorry for him and said, "Dad, I want to go home. I'm feeling fine now. Can we go home?"

    A few days later. It was the wedding day for Christiano, the son of the Lockwood family, and Adeline, the daughter of the Simpson family. Early in the morning, there were already police directing traffic. Everybody knew that Adeline's marriage to Christiano was to bring him luck. Rose petals filled the air as they were scattered down from a helicopter. Balloons and bubbles floated along in the sky. With dulcet wedding music playing, a wedding without the groom was about to begin. Adeline sat still in the dressing room while the makeup artist spruced her up. Adeline's delicate facial features, peaches-and-cream complexion, soft luscious red lips that looked kissable, coupled with the pure handmade exquisite wedding dress, made her absolutely stunning as though she was an otherworldly fairy. As she studied herself in the mirror, Adeline felt bitter because this was a wedding she never wanted. "Adeline, today is the big day for you. I wish you and Christiano

    "Adeline, call Madam Vallerie grandma," Ronald urged from the other side. "Grandma," Adeline shyly complied. "Oh, you're such a good girl! Come on, come over here to me." Vallerie seated Adeline down next to her, and she looked at Adeline lovingly. "Adeline, this is Christiano's good friend, Culver Lester. He just came back from overseas," Vallerie introduced while keeping Adeline close to her.  Culver stood up gracefully. With a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hands, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Simpson." "Hello, Mr. Lester. It's a pleasure to meet you too," Adeline politely put her hand into his to greet him. After the handshake, Culver nodded at Adeline, and turned around to speak to Madam Vallerie, "Madam Vallerie, I have other matters to attend to, I'll be leaving now." "Okay. Come visit us when you're free," Madam Vallerie said with a loving smile on her face. "Sure," Culver curtly answered. He nodded at Ro

    Vallerie was elated as Adeline finally accepted the gift. She caressed Adeline's face fondly and said, "Good girl." Looking at how glad Vallerie was, Adeline didn't say anything else, for it would have sounded pretentious. "Thank you, Grandma." "Madam Vallerie, the wedding is starting soon. Maybe we should let Madam Adeline go back and rest," George reminded Vallerie. "Oh, look at me! We've forgotten the time. Adeline, go back to your room, have some rest, and fix your makeup. You're the bride, and you'll be the most beautiful person today." "Then I'll be heading back, Grandma," Adeline excused herself and turned to head towards the door. ...... Adeline had just returned to the dressing room when Nicholas and Martha came in with an attractive man. Adeline looked at them with confusion written all over her face. Nicholas then said earnestly, "Adeline, let me introduce you to Christiano's younger brother, Sandrino Lockwood." Sandrino walked

    When Adeline realized what the pastor had said, she could already hear snickers among the guests. Some even started to gossip. As the voices grew louder, Adeline took a deep breath and plastered on a sweet smile. She then took the ring from the bridesmaid and wore it on her ring finger. ...... Adeline sat in a luxurious car and stared at the view outside. Slowly, the car drove to a villa and stopped. The villa had a vermilion gate with two bronze rounded copper lion heads as decorations. The bright lights above the gate shone on the lion statues, and it glistered in faint gold light. The decorations and details on merely the gate displayed its owner's notable reputation. Adeline thought her home was luxurious enough, but it was incomparable to the Lockwood family's villa. The gate of the villa slowly opened, and the car came to a halt. George stepped forward to open and hold the door for Adeline. He greeted, "Madam Adeline, welcome home. Please come

    "Mom, I'm ready," Adeline said after she finished changing. Walking out of the changing room, she noticed that Martha didn't change into the sterile suit. She wondered if Martha was going to let her meet Christiano for the first time on her own. Martha brought Adeline to an isolated room. She pointed to the door and told Adeline, "You'll go in alone. We've already gone in today so we can't visit him again." Adeline nodded and said docilely, "Okay, Mom." As she said that, she pushed the door open and walked through it. Martha watched Adeline as she entered the room. Taking a glance at the room inside, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes. She closed them shut and opened them again before she turned to leave. Meanwhile, Adeline headed into the room wearing the sterile suit. There were many pieces of advanced medical equipment in the room, and each was comparable to the ones in the hospital. "Hi, I assume you're Christiano's newlywed wife, Adeline?" A man

    Adeline bid Ethan goodbye and went ahead to change back to her clothes. She was about to leave when she spotted Sandrino coming into the room. Sandrino caught sight of Adeline, and his face lit up with a bright smile. Adeline could hear his voice from a distance, "Adeline, are you here to visit Christiano?" "Sandrino, you must be here to visit him too. I just came out, and Dr. Gardner is still inside, so you can go straight in. I'm heading back." Adeline was ready to leave when Sandrino suddenly stopped her, and he said with a smile, "Forget it, I'll skip seeing him today. Why don't I keep you company and give you a tour around?" Then, Sandrino reached out to hold Adeline's hand. But Adeline was quick to pull her hand away from his grasp, and she told Sandrino, "Thank you for your kindness, Sandrino. I can walk on my own." Sandrino noticed how tactful Adeline was, so he didn't say anything further. He smiled at Adeline and took her to tour around the villa

    "Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a

    "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he

    Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

    Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.

    "Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p

    Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,

    Three days later, Adeline followed Bai Ye to Yaoping Town, but he didn't see Bai Lang. At this time, Tang Qi and the others, who had been waiting for Adeline in Tanping Town, had already received the news that Adeline had come in. "What should we do now?" After confirming the location of Adeline's residence, Tang Qi and the others gathered together to discuss how to rescue him. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came from outside the door. "Seventh Young Master, long time no see?" She walked in slowly with graceful steps and greeted Tang Qi with a faint smile. "Rumor has it that Young Master Rong isn't feeling well all year round and has been resting at home. I wonder what brought you here?" "Of course it's you." Hearing this, Tang Qi suddenly smiled. Two people came forward and hugged each other tightly, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially Tang Qi, an inexplicable anger came from the bottom of her heart. She stepped forwar

    "In the past few days, you might be able to appease the employees of the company. You don't need to keep those who want to resign too much. What our Lu Enterprises needs is people who can fight to the death with the company, not people who run away when they are in trouble." "But big brother, there have been too many things happening in the past two years. If we do this again, won't it cause public disgust?" "In the end, Lu Yangzhe was still a little worried. After all, the power of public opinion is too great. It's okay for the country to be affected, but it'll be more difficult for foreign subsidiary companies and famous brands to rise again once they are seriously injured." "You have to remember that the reputation of a company is very important, but his quality is even more important. If everyone only likes this brand instead of the quality of our product, then it doesn't matter if you don't want such a customer." He, Christiano, wanted to do the best work.

    "Baby, can you understand the English on it?" Xu Lu came forward and asked, looking at the number that was quickly rolling on the screen. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Zi Yao has the ability to see all kinds of things, and his English is better than mine." Jiaqi, who was standing by the side, seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness she had just had. She saw Lu Ziyan sitting in front of the computer table, looking particularly handsome. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. It was as if she was the only one who had done it. "Do you all know each other?" Obviously, Bai Ziqi's words shocked both Bai Ziqi and Xu Ran so much that they couldn't even say a word. Was this still a three-year-old child? Why did they have a feeling that the sky was about to change? After making sure that Lu Ziming was fine, Bai Ziqi and Xu Lulu left the room, ready to inquire about Christiano's situation.
