After leaving the manor , Madeleine couldn't hold back anymore and pressed Rebecca , linking her arm . " You changed the subject earlier . Come on , tell me , how far have things gone with you and Professor Shaw ? " " What are you talking about ? Nothing has gone anywhere . I already told you , I wasn't feeling well that day , he came to my place to take care of me , and we haven't seen each other since . " ! Madeleine's eyes widened . " You haven't seen each other ?! Don't you like Professor Shaw ? " Rebecca gave a speechless smile . " When did I ever tell you I liked Adrian ?
" Madeleine was about to speak when her gaze suddenly froze , her mouth slightly open . " Professor Shaw ... " Chapter 244 Rebecca had been looking at Madeleine with an expression that said , " You've learned to be a little liar . " When she turned her head , she froze as if paralyzed . Adrian was standing right in front of her , wearing the same overcoat from the hospital . Behind his gold - rimmed glasses , his eyes stared at Rebecca , dark and deep . Did he hear ? He heard . Rebecca's heart sank , and she couldn't help but curse inwardly .
How could there be such a coincidence in the world ? The very person she was talking about had heard her . It's true , you really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs . The atmosphere grew tense for a moment , so Madeleine quickly stepped in to break the ice . " What a coincidence , Professor Shaw . I didn't expect to run into you here . " Chapter 244 Adrian nodded , finally tearing his gaze away from Rebecca . He adjusted his glasses and explained in a serious tone . " My mother left something here and asked me to come get it . I forgot you were here . " " Haha , is that so ?
Your memory is that bad , Professor Shaw ? " Madeleine couldn't help but laugh . If you came on purpose , just admit it . This Professor Shaw is quite something , trying to save face like that . Rebecca frowned . " Your mother's things , why would they be here ? " " Oh , I forgot to tell you , Rebecca . Professor Shaw lent us this manor . " Rebecca didn't say anything , just turned her head and gave Madeleine a deep look . This couple . You two are something else ! They're doing this on purpose ! Chapter 244 " Oh , I just remembered I have something to do . Wasn't Roderick looking for me ?

Rebecca , I can't go for a walk with you anymore . " After speaking , Madeleine looked at Adrian . " Professor Shaw , you're not in a hurry , are you ? Keep Rebecca company for me , will you ? I'll be right back . " With that said , without caring if they agreed , Madeleine turned and bolted . Rebecca really couldn't take it anymore and rolled her eyes . When she turned back and saw Adrian staring at her again with that resentful , deep gaze , she suddenly felt a little guilty . She cleared her throat . " If you're in a hurry to get your things , you should go .
I'll just take a walk by myself . " The moment the words left her mouth , Rebecca felt her wrist being grabbed tightly . Adrian gripped her through her sleeve and strode toward a nearby mountain path . In the distance , Madeleine , who was hiding and peeking from behind a door , stomped her foot in frustration . " Hey , why'd they run off ! " Adrian had long legs and took wide strides . He walked quickly , as if with anger , not waiting for Rebecca at all : Rebecca had no choice but to jog to keep up with his pace . " Slow ... slow down . " " I can't keep up , Adrian . " " Ow !
" Only when she cried out that word did Adrian stop abruptly , his grip loosening . Rebecca frowned , rolling up her sleeve to look at her wrist . He hadn't actually squeezed that hard , but she was wearing a diamond bracelet today , and it dug into her skin , causing some pain . Sure enough , a dark red mark had appeared on her fair wrist . Adrian's brow furrowed . He grabbed her wrist with both hands . wanting to rub it for her . Chapter 244 " Don't touch me . " Rebecca gritted her teeth and irritably snatched her hand back .
She rubbed it , and only after the pain subsided a bit did she pull her sleeve down . She'd been in such a hurry she hadn't noticed , but Rebecca looked up and realized Adrian had pulled her into the woods . There were trees and bushes everywhere , without even a proper path . If you listened closely , you could hear rustling sounds , and occasionally a few unfamiliar small animals would dart out . Rebecca chuckled . " Why'd you drag me out here ? Planning to kill me and silence me ? This is a pretty convenient place to hide a body .
" After she spoke , she looked up and saw the dangerous look in Adrian's eyes . He stepped forward , moving closer to Rebecca . " Relax . Even if I were going to silence you , it wouldn't be " Relax . Even if I were going to silence you , it wouldn't be that fast . I would definitely ... rape you first , then kill you ."
