" Thanks to you , the evidence from the crime four years ago is perfectly intact . " Curtis had Kenneth investigating the bullying Adriana suffered back four years ago , gathering proof .

Unexpectedly , a fool sent it directly to him today . Adriana just stared at Curtis , taking a long time to snap out of it . " W - What do you mean ? " Linda panicked , stepped back , and tried to leave , but Curtis ' driver blocked her way . Tom was huge - strong enough to take on ten people at once .

" Curtis asked casually , like he didn't care at all . Adriana shook her head . Adriana looked sweet , and when she was quiet , she looked even more well - behaved , making her an easy target for bullies . Curtis looked at her , silent for a moment , then said , " It's good if they all come . Saves me the trouble of tracking them down one by one ." " Curtis , why are you helping me ? " Adriana asked softly . Logically , Curtis didn't need to get involved in this at all . " Wasn't our marriage just finalized ? " Curtis shot back , looking at her like she was being weird . She was his wife .

Wasn't it normal to take care of this ? Adriana stayed quiet for a long time , then lowered her head . Her eyes were red again . " Thank you . " She felt so touched . Curtis was a great boss .

Since you're good - looking , just delete the video and come have a drink with us . We'll let it slide . " Adriana was shocked . Camelia had to be the dumbest to dare suggest that Curtis drink with her .

" Camelia , get your dirty hands off him , " Adriana snapped , standing up to shield Curtis . Camelia actually had the nerve to try flirting with him . " Hah . " Camelia smirked and raised her hand to hit Adriana , but Adriana grabbed it and slapped her back . Breathing a little quickly , Adriana clenched her hands tightly . Maybe it was because Curtis was behind her , but she suddenly felt a surge of courage . AdminJ
