Chapter 61 No, Stop!

Author: Ann1
The air in the bar was muddy with smoke. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol tainted the air as the deafening music roared through the dance floor. The dance floor was filled with men and women, swaying their bodies wildly to the beat of the music. Some women were even leaning on young men, exchanging endless sweet talk with each other.

Adrian frowned as he took in the surroundings while walking with Adeline towards the elevator. He made sure to keep Adeline separated from most of the crowd.

A slightly stout middle-aged man drunkenly staggered towards Adeline. Blocking her way, he hissed with a breath full of alcohol, "Hey gorgeous, come to have a drink with me. I'll guarantee that you'll like what happens after..." As he was speaking, he reached out to grab her hand.

"Mister, you're drunk!" Adeline stepped one step aside and avoided the man's tubby hand, letting them grasp nothing.

The man was too drunk to detect Adeline's resistance. He continued to give her a

    While Adeline looked for Evelyn, two figures in the room next door were intertwining with each other. The man's grunting and the woman's moaning resounded in the room.  As time passed without knowing, Evelyn slowly regained her consciousness. She blinked open her eyes and was met by the sight of a stranger's face. The man was plundering into her at the moment and was taking what he needed from Evelyn's body. Evelyn let out a loud scream.  She tried using her hands to push off the man atop of her but the man remained unmoved. Seeing that Evelyn was gradually sober, the man's excitement elevated. With a salacious smile on his face, he said, "Hey there, you're finally conscious! I can't wait to get to know you..." "I'm almost there..." Evelyn was stunned and still in a daze. What was happening? Why was she with the man? Tears began to stream down her face silently. The pain she felt in her heart was nothing compared to the physical pain afflicted on her body.

    As Adeline reached the restaurant, she spotted Culver and Alan getting out of their cars and were heading in her direction.  "Wow, Adeline, the men you're getting acquainted with these days are certainly getting hotter and hotter..." She gasped in awe when she saw how good-looking both Culver and Alan were.  "Stop daydreaming! People that look like them are the most dangerous," Adeline whispered softly into Chloe's ear. Chloe stuck out her tongue at her after that.  "Miss Simpson, sorry for being late..." Culver apologized.  Alan was wearing a mask as usual, looking impassive. "I don't know what your food preferences are, so I picked this restaurant on a whim. The food here's really good, I promise both of you will love it," Adeline said with a faint smile. Culver eyed Alan and said with a smile, "Well then, I guess we'll find out if that's true soon enough." With that, Adeline led them into a private dining room in the restaurant.

    "This man's too into himself. Misunderstanding? What in heaven..." Adeline scoffed inwardly to herself. Adeline flashed Alan a charming smile then and replied, "Mr. Alan, I think you might be overthinking the situation. I just wanted to play my part as the hostess and make you feel welcome. I don't want you to think that I'm snobbish or stingy, you know?" "Miss Simpson, I'm afraid the more you try to explain yourself, the less convincing you sound to me," Alan answered in a bored tone. Every word he tried to articulate sounded like a great feat to him.  An awkward silence ensued after that.  Did this man really mean to imply that Adeline was interested in him? "Was there a need for him to be so shameless?" Adeline thought to herself. Though Alan's figure, temperament and the pair of lips under his mask could be flawlessly attractive, it didn't mean that Adeline would be interested in him! "Some men could truly be shameless and audacious..." Adeline m

    "Mr. Lester, I'll head back home first then. Thanks for 'rescuing' me just now!" Chloe was instantly alive the immediate moment she left the restaurant.  Culver looked at Chloe amusingly and asked, "Didn't you say that you would accompany me to my office? Why are you heading back now all of a sudden?" Chloe was now walking along the streets happily. Noticing Culver's gaze on her, she asked puzzledly, "Wasn't that an excuse you came up with in order to get out of the awkward situation back there?"   "Ha ha..." Culver didn't expect that Chloe would have thought that what he said was an excuse. He said to her attentively, "I really do have something to deal with in the office. As for you, I was worried that you'll get sick from stuffing more food down your throat." Chloe combed her hair awkwardly, then smiled and said, "I had no idea what I was saying just now. Just forget all about it. Your friend was really cold and aloof. I'm afraid that I would freeze to

    "No, it's not solely mine. This company was established together with my friend!" Culver said with a smile. Culver walked to the elevator, reached out his hand to press on the button. Then, the elevator door opened slowly. Chloe followed Culver into the elevator, and the door closed back swiftly. "Culver, why are your employees still working so late in the hour?" Chloe noticed the employees were bustling about in the lobby as she entered the building.  Culver smiled and rubbed her head, "Well, it's nearing the month's end so they have a deadline to close the company's accounts, which is why they are still working now." Chloe lifted her head, looked at Culver, and asked with a smile, "Culver, if I lost my job one day, do leave an opening for me in your company, okay?" Staring at Chloe's ingenuous and trusting eyes, Culver lost himself in it... "Sure, the door will always be open and waiting for you," Culver said affectionately.  Culver lik

    Having been caught by his employee, Culver coughed awkwardly. Realizing that he had gotten distracted by Chloe, Culver immediately composed himself and spoke to the executives that had entered into his office, "This report is good. I'll take a look at it in detail again and hand it to the CEO. You can all clock off work now." The executives nodded in compliance. As they walked out of the office, they instinctively glanced at the woman who was sauntering across Culver's office, hypothesizing their relationship status in their hearts. After his workers left, Chloe turned to Culver and said, "Culver, your office is unexpectedly big, and looking at the night view with this tower window is just breathtaking." Culver spun the pen in his hand while his gaze lingered on Chloe. Gently, he said, "If you like it, you can come anytime you want to." "Ha ha...," Chloe chuckled. Chloe walked towards a chair at a corner and sat down. Looking at Culver, she waved her

    Ethan arrived shortly after. He quickly got down from the car and asked, "Adeline, what's wrong?" Seeing Ethan, Adeline said in a hurry, "Ethan, come over here and have a look at him." "Help me to get him into the car. I'll quickly check on him inside," Ethan urged. Adeline lifted Alan up. As his entire body was leaning on Adeline, she used her whole energy to support him into the car. She grunted as she helped him to the car, "Why did you stuff yourself with food when you can't even eat that much?" Positioning him nicely into the car seat, Adeline leaned by the car and huffed. She then mumbled again, "Oh my gosh, I'm so tired. Why is he so heavy?" Ethan said to Adeline, "Why don't you go towards the side while I check on him?" Adeline hesitated for a moment before moving to the side. After all, she was a married woman, it was better to stay away from seeing what she shouldn't be seeing.  After ensuring that Adeline was a distance away from the

    "Ha ha..." "Culver, we just sealed the deal that you won't bully me anymore, remember?" Chloe said outrageously, ignoring Culver's ashen face.  "Wow, Chloe, you're a really good actress. I fell hard for your acting skills," Culver said as he clenched his jaws. "Thank you for your compliment, Culver. I also do think the same way about my acting skills. It seems to be getting better," Chloe said with a smile. Culver rubbed the space between his brows and wondered why he even asked Chloe to tag along with him to the office in the first place.  "I really did not expect you to have such great acting skills. Do you want me to recommend some film production companies to you?" Culver asked and chuckled. Chloe was slightly taken aback by Culver's kind suggestion, "Are you trying to fool me again?" Chloe was skeptical.  "Why would I? I just felt that it would be a pity and a loss if you make acting as your career," Culver replied. An idea suddenly

    "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.
