Chapter 655


    “All right now, it''s no big deal. It''s just a scratch,” the man interrupted Rayna. Thereafter, he turned to


    the woman by his side and warned her with a look.


    Observing the dynamics between the two, Curtis tightened his grip on Rayna''s hand. Subsequently, he


    gave the man a wary look as he handed thetter his name card. “This is my card. You can find my


    contact on it. If you''re in need of any medical treatment, I''m more than happy to pay for it.”


    Upon taking the card from Curtis'' hand, the man gave it a quick nce before replying, “Sure.”


    Sensing from the man''s tone that he had no intention of going to the hospital, Rayna suggested, “Why


    don''t you get yourself examined at the hospital now? In the event you have a serious injury, timely


    treatment would be crucial.”


    “Oh, we were just visiting on a whim. It''s close to four now and I need to be at the office at five, so I


    don''t think I''ll be going to the hospital now. Anyway, I still have your card. If I somehow need medical


    treatment, I''ll get in touch with you.” Although the man spoke in a gentle tone, he would steal


    intermittent nces at Rayna while doing so.


    “Okay then.” Upon hearing the man''s words, Rayna didn''t press the issue. “Thank you for helping me


    just now.”


    “You''re wee.” With that, the man turned and left together with the woman Rayna had encountered


    earlier.


    Standing still, Rayna noticed that Curtis didn''t intend to leave. Thus, she asked, “I''m done at my end.


    What about you? If you''re ready, I feel like going home now.”


    “I''m done too, but I need to drop by the office first. It won''t take up too much time.” Upon retracting his


    gaze from the young man and woman, Curtis noticed that Rayna was feeling out of sorts. “Perhaps I


    can get the driver to send you home?”


    “It''s fine. Let''s go together. I''ll apany you to the office.” Just as she spoke, Rayna noticed that her


    cane was missing when she wanted to pack it up.


    When Curtis saw her let go of his hand and bending down seemingly to look for something, he quickly


    stopped her. “What are you looking for?”


    “My cane,” Rayna replied. “I dropped it when I fell.”


    In response, Curtis scanned the surroundings but was unable to see it anywhere. With a slight furrow


    of his brows, he turned toward Rayna. “It''s broken. I''ll get you a new one.”


    “Is it?” Rayna asked curiously.


    “Mmm-hmm, it is. You dropped it on the flower bed when you fell just now.” Curtis cooked up a random


    reason to cate Rayna.


    “In that case, let''s just forget about it and go.” Just as she spoke, Rayna wrapped her arms around his


    elbow again.


    With that, Curtis trod carefully, worried that a single wrong step would cause her to fall again.


    ...


    “What''s with that sullen look on your face?” Inside the car, the woman threw the man a nce. Even


    though she spoke calmly, there was a hint of exasperation in her tone.


    “What do you think?” The man threw the question back at her in an indifferent tone. Nheless, the


    vicious glint in his eyes couldn''t be any more obvious.


    Making eye contact, the woman felt a chill down her spine. “Don''t look at me like that!”


    “Adrienne, have you ignored what I told you previously?” the man stopped the car by the side and


    turned to look at Adrienne Picard. “Do you need me to remind you of what you promised me before we


    came to Norwal City?”


    Listening to the man''s cold words, Adrienne gradually clenched her fists on herp. Nheless, there


    was no change in her expression. “My memory serves me quite well.”


    “Good,” the man grunted in acknowledgment before unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off. Staring at


    him from the front passenger seat, Adrienne cocked a brow. “What are you up to now?”


    “I''m changing.” After chucking his shirt over to the back seat, the man realized the shirt he had


    prepared wasn''t inside the car. “Can you get me my shirt from the trunk?”


    Adrienne turned around and frowned at the man. “You''re really troublesome.” With that, she alighted


    from the car and opened the trunk, only to be greeted by an empty space. “Thibault, there''s nothing in


    here!”


    No sooner had she spoken than the car suddenly backed up in her direction. Even though she


    retreated in reflex, she tripped over her heels and fell onto the ground. “Thibault, what are you doing!”


    Despite her raging screams, the car didn''t look like it was going to stop. As she watched the car about


    to run over her legs in horror, her eyes reddened instantly. “No, Thibault. No, I''m sorry! I''m sorry!”


    It was then that the reversing car came to a stop, followed by Thibault alighting from the car.


    When Adrienne looked at the approaching Thibault, he had already changed into a clean shirt. He then


    leaned elegantly against the car as he looked down at her. “Thibault, you have gone too far!”


    “Me? Gone too far?” Thibault gradually knelt down as she spoke. He then grabbed her chin so tightly


    that she pounded his hand in pain. “Thibault, what are you doing? Don''t forget that we''re on the same


    side!”


    “Hmph!” Instead of releasing her, Thibault tightened his grip with an insidious expression on his face. “If


    there''s a repeat of what happened today, I''ll do to you what you did to Rayna!”


    As she watched how the usually gentle Thibault suddenly turned into a fearsome man, the teary-eyed


    Adrienne nodded vigorously. “All right.”


    With one knee on the ground, Thibault let go of Adrienne''s jaw. “I know that you''re devastated over


    Jefferson''s death, but it has nothing to do with Rayna. I already told you that before we came here.”


    “I remember.” Adrienne quickly covered her chin as she backed away to put some distance between


    herself and Thibault.


    “Since you remember, you had better drill this into your mind too. There will be no repeat of what


    happened today!” The moment he finished, Thibault stepped forward and grabbed Adrienne''s jaw to


    force her mouth open. After that, he popped a red pill right into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it


    before she had a chance to struggle.


    “Thibault, what did you give me?” Adrienne scrambled up to her feet and rushed toward the bushes by


    the side. There, she stuck a finger into her throat and tried to puke the pill out.


    Watching how desperate she was to induce vomit, Thibault let out a sneer before standing back up. He


    then remarked in a frosty tone, “Don''t worry, it isn''t poison.”

    His words caused Adrienne to stop and turn around to glower at him. “What in the world did you give


    me?”
