    Chapter 195 Adeline and Curtis Fell t in Front of Old Mrs. Riley


    Tristan was dressed in all ck and came with ten bodyguards. His appearance seemed like he hade to pick up a fight


    Old Mrs. Riley had just lifted her teacup, but she slowly put it down, nodding vaguely as she said, "What a coincidence."


    "It''s not a coincidence. I am here today to ask you for something.”


    While Tristan was saying that, he handed over a bag of chestnut pies wrapped in paper. He opened it and broke one of them in half, then handed half


    of it to her.


    "I heard that you enjoy these, so I came to deliver them personally. You can enjoy them with tea while watching the y."


    Old Mrs. Riley''s expression seemed to think of something. She knew that Tristan was reminding her of the favor the Morris family had shown the


    Riley family during a chaotic period in the past.


    Back then, the patriarch of the Riley family had been wrongly used, and the entire family had been forced to flee. Along the way, they encountered


    various hardships. All their money had been stolen and they starved for several days.


    The patriarch of the Morris family had taken pity on them and given their daughter half a chestnut pie.


    Later, the old patriarch of the Riley family revisited his old haunts and unexpectedly encountered the Morris family. He mentioned that he would


    certainly repay the favor of the half piece of chestnut pie in the future.


    Old Mrs. Riley scrutinized that half piece of chestnut pie for a long time before eventually epting it.


    After all, back in the day, her eldest daughter had eaten most of that pie


    It could be said that it saved her daughter, who had been on the brink of starving.


    However, after epting it, Old Mrs. Riley didn''t eat it. She just ced it aside and stared at Tristan. She asked, "Who do you want from an old


    woman like me?"


    Seeing that old Mrs. Riley epted the pie. Tristan had a sense of assurance


    He straightened up and pointed at Adeline. He said, “She''s one of them.”


    Adeline sat calmly without showing any response. She remainedposed and didn''t rush to defend herself.


    Old Mrs. Riley cast a sidelong nce at her and silently praised her demeanor andposure. That aura and reaction were truly suitable for a


    potential mistress of the household


    Old Mrs. Riley took a sip of tea and smiled as she asked, "Why do you want my granddaughter-inw? Has my granddaughter-inw done


    something wrong?"


    "“Granddaughter-inw?" Tristan smiled, leaned down, and answered old Mrs. Riley, "Are you sure she is the granddaughter-inw or something


    else? Why did I hear from my ipetent son that Ms. Burton... climbed into the bed of Curtis?”


    Old Mrs. Riley''s heart skipped a beat. She tightened her grip on the teacup for a moment but then she took a few sips of tea and smiled as she


    replied to Tristan.


    "Well, what you have said isn''t entirely wrong. Your son is indeed someone ipetent. At such a young age, he''s already learned to stir up trouble


    and spread rumors.”


    Tristan''s expression stiffened, but he


    forced a smilé.and said, "Old Mrs.


    Riley, whether it''s stirring up trouble_


    or spreading rumors, you can figute


    it out yourselfter. They say that


    am iematters should not be.aired in


    public, so it''s perfectly a


    understandable for you teprotect


    your son."


    Old Mrs. Riley''s heart skipped a beat as she noticed that neither Curtis nor Adeline were in a hurry to refute the allegations.


    There seemed to be some truth to the matter.


    Adeline''s fingers tightened and her expression turned slightly embarrassed.


    Tristan wasn''t wrong.


    It was a dirty linen at home!


    Even though she was now officially Curtis''s wife, revealing this matter wouldn''t be honorable.


    They couldn''t just go around telling everyone that Victoria was behind it.


    It was truly frustrating.


    Curtis sensed Adeline''s tightly clenched hand and his mouth couldn''t hold onto it anymore.


    As he calmly ran his slender fingers along the wheelchair''s armrest, he asked in a subdued tone, "Mr. Morris, are you treating me as if I''m dead


    now?"Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    His voice was faint but carried a strong sense of intimidation


    The eye contact between them was


    intense. Curtis''s stern and a


    domineering gaze made even the


    experfenced businessman Tristan,


    whowas i in his fifties, feel ?


    somewhat overwhelmed.

    "I have warned youst night. If you don''t want your son to be arrested on drug trafficking charges, you should behave yourself.”


    Tristan recalled the embarrassment of being threatened and immediately became furious.


    "Old Mrs. Riley, I vee today to


    ask for your Kelp! I know Curtis has

    Barton, he even had my sen

    As he spoke, Logan also entered the Prodiff Theater, carrying the chestnut pie. He hurried over and spoke anxiously.


    "Grandmother, what Mr. Morris said just now, except for the part about Uncle Curtis and Adeline, everything else is true. Please help Adeline."
