Chapter 74 Hannah Revealed the Secret to Curtis
As Steffen escorted Curtis downstairs, he took the opportunity to report to him.
"Mr. Riley, I found the phone communication between Alexander and Victoria. He might go to Mrs. Riley's room tonight and do something to her."
"Hmm, keep a close eye on him," Curtis replied calmly, showing no concern for Victoria, who was his nephew.
Upon arriving at the café, Hannah stood up excitedly as Curtis approached. Her eyes locked onto him, and she greeted in a flirtatious tone, "Mr. Riley."
Curtis was pushed forward by Steffen. When he passed by Hannah, a strong, pungent industrial perfume hit him, almost making him vomit.
Suppressing his displeasure, he spoke straightforwardly, "What do you want from me?"
Hannah considerately poured a glass of lemon water for Curtis and glanced at Steffen subconsciously.
"Spill the beans," Curtis lightly caressed the wedding ring on his ring finger and calmly said, "As a married man, I will not meet with other women alone in private. So my people will not leave."
Upon hearing that, Hannah's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly forced a helpless smile.
"I do envy Adeline to have such a good husband like you. However... Mr. Riley, I truly feel sorry for you."
"Oh?" Curtis's tone turned colder.
"Mr. Riley, marriage should be based on sincerity. But, it's evident that Adeline has been hiding something from you."
As Hannah spoke, she carefully observed Curtis's expression.
Seeing his face darken slightly, she felt a sense of satisfaction and continued, "Adeline probably didn't tell you about her and Jonathan, right?"
"What could have happened between her and Jonathan?" Curtis's pale face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost in an instant.
Hannah's excitement grew and answered, "She was assaulted by Jonathan!"
"It's impossible!" Curtis's voice was stern and it sounded very determined.
Hannah lowered her gaze, already having an idea of his reaction.
Looking around cautiously, she whispered, "According to Viola, it didn't go all the way. But... Jonathan did strip her clothes off and tortured her. The process was... and there were many props involved... He even recorded videos and took photos. If it wasn't for Adeline's brother rushing in at the last moment, it's likely... It would have gone further."
With each sentence Hannah had said, Curtis's expression grew darker.
As Hannah reached the end of her speech, she let out a sigh.
"Mr. Riley, I genuinely feel sorry for you. I'm sorry that you have been kept in the dark about these things. Adeline hid this from you."
"If those indecent videos were to be released, how could you continue to live in Prodiff?"
"Mr. Riley..." Hannah cooed, "Give me a chance to comfort you."
"Since Adeline was unfaithful before the marriage, why do you need to..."
As she spoke, Hannah reached out toward Curtis's hand, wanting to touch the back of it.
But before she could make contact, Curtis pulled away. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hannah's expression darkened and revealed a hint of disappointment.
But in the next moment, a key card was pushed towards her, which caught her attention.
Curtis didn't say a word and was ushered away by Steffen.
Hannah looked at the hotel key card with room number 8-404 and instantly became ecstatic.
She thought to herself, "After tonight, buying a designer bag would be a piece of cake!"
She picked up the key card and kissed it several times.
Meanwhile, Adeline had just finished her exam and returned to the hotel.
A female receptionist greeted her, "Hello, I am the receptionist for the city competition. Are you Adeline Burton?"
"Yes, I am," Adeline nodded politely.
"Sorry to bother you for a few minutes, Ms. Burton," the receptionist gestured towards a window- side booth, "We have a survey for the competition that we would like you to fill out. Please wait here, and a staff member will come to assist you shortly."
Adeline took a seat.
Then, the enthusiastic receptionist poured her a glass of lemon water.
Adeline picked up the glass, but she hesitated. She remembered the incident with the milk Victoria gave her. She quickly put the glass down.
Instead, she took out a mini bottle of mineral water from her bag, unscrewed it, took a sip, and then put it back.
After a short while, a woman wearing a white Chanel-style suit approached arrogantly and her gaze coldly fixed on Adeline's face.
"Are you Adeline Burton?"
