Chapter 1295
Adam, tall and strong, took Jayden's arm with ease.
He stood before Anthea like a mountain to protect her.
Just like when she had been in danger countless times, he was always the one who went forward to keep out rain and wind for her.
Jayden was also stunned when he saw him. "Adam?"
Looking at Adam, Madam Jiles frowned and scolded him unhappily, "Adam, don't meddle in this matter!"
However, Adam turned a deaf ear to her and still stood there as firm as a rock.
With him in front, Jayden could not even get any closer to Anthea.
As Adam was a military man with strong physical strength, his firm grasp on Jayden made him feel a twinge of pain. In the end, Jayden had to give up and angrily accused him, "Adam, how dare you protect this little b*tch?!"
Adam asked, his eyes ruthless. "Who do you think is a b*tch?!"
Adam, dressed in military uniform, was resolute and steadfast. This red-blooded man with chiseled features looked so handsome and inviolable when in furious.
Jayden was momentarily scared by his ferocious look.
But soon he became even more furious. He pointed at Anthea, saying, "I'm talking about her!"
Anthea clenched her fists, her face ghastly pale.
Adam gnashed his teeth in anger, his eyes full of anger. "I dare you to say it again."
His voice was not loud, but every word coming out of his mouth sounded ice-cold.
Jayden, deflated, was no longer in a threatening manner. He gritted his teeth and looked at Adam and Anthea, who were standing together. "Adam, you get together with her again. I think you are bewitched by this little bitch! You two are so shameless!
"And you..."
"Anthea, how dare you seduce your uncle-in-law? Why would my father suddenly return home from abroad, and why would he die in a car accident happen? What you have done will make him turn in his grave. Are you willing to see that?"
Anthea trembled, breathing heavily.
Adam turned around, gently took her in his arms, and left the villa with her.
The sunshine outside was warm, and her cold limbs gradually warmed up.
Lawyer Zurn, carrying her briefcase, staggered out with them. She looked back at the villa with some panic and sighed while fixing her messy hair with fingers, "Miss Lee, it was too dangerous just now. I didn't expect people in the Hsu family to be so unreasonable!"
Anthea pressed the space between her eyebrows to calm down.
Seeing her pale face, Lawyer Zurn thought she was also frightened by Jayden. So, she immediately comforted her, "But don't worry, we're not grabbing their property. Our action is protected by the law!" "If they continue to act like rascals, I can apply the court for mandatory enforcement. I will help you handle these things! Wait for my call!"
Anthea, in no mood to take care of other things, just nodded as a reply.
Lawyer Zurn quickly drove away from this villa to stay away from trouble.
Adam pulled the green military jeep at the roadside. There were only the two of them now.
Adam leaned forward and slowly held her in his firm arms. He moved with care, for fear that she would be hurt. It seemed that Adam also felt depressed.
At this moment, Anthea's limbs were stiff.
Her forehead was just below his Adam's apple and her head leaned against his chest where she thought his heart must be.
They were so close that they could feel each other's heartbeat.
Anthea asked in a low voice, "Did you hearthat?"
When she had a conflict with Jayden in the Xu family's villa, he appeared in time. So, he must have heard all the nasty words that Jayden said, including the fact that she caused Master Hsu's death. "Silly girl." Adam felt suffocated.
Anthea felt like crying, her eyes gradually brimming with tears. In a broken voice, she sobbed out the reason why she left him. "Now you know why we can't be together again..."
Adam said hoarsely, "Why didn't you tell me that at that time?"
Why? It was because she chose to bear all of this alone.
A bitter feeling welled up inside Adam's heart.
His little girl was a silly girl.
She told him that she aborted their baby, forcing him to break away with her. It was largely because she did not want him to be sad. At this time, Adam finally realized that.
For the same reason, she did not tell him how Master Hsu died and chose to swallow the bitterness alone. All of this was because she did not want him to bear this pressure and be condemned by his conscience all the time.
She was so stupid.
Anthea's clear eyes gradually ran over with tears. Then, one drop after another, her tears gradually fell down. She choked with sobs. "I was too stubborn. Grandpa knew our relationship but he didn't want us to be together. He asked me to leave you, but I refused with determination. He was so furious..."
"He ran out of the cafe, chasing after me. He was so agitated that he didn't watch around and was hit by a car!"
"I killed him! If it weren't for me, he wouldn't... So Adam, I still love you, but we can't be together again!"
Anthea closed her eyes and pushed him away bit by bit.
The last sentence was like a sharp needle.
It pierced their hearts.
The muscles on Adam stiffened inch by inch, and his big hand stopped in mid-air.
At this time, a gloomy atmosphere shrouded the villa of the Hsu family.
Jayden canceled all his recent appointments. In a state of anxiety, he kept turning round and round in the living room. Seeing his cranky look, no servant dare to get anywhere near him.
"Mom, what should we do now?" Jayden looked at Madam Jiles who was sitting on the sofa.
She frowned, with a distressed loo. "This little bitch went abroad years ago. I thought that she would never come back!"
"But she is back now, and she wants her property in the will!" Jayden pulled the collar of his shirt and said in a resentful tone, "Speaking of this, I feel unfair and angry! Dad was so partial to her and left her nearly half of his property in the will! In his eyes, this granddaughter was more important than me, his son!"
After the death of Master Hsu, Jayden occupied Anthea's share for more than six years. Besides, it was a large fortune!
How could he let her take it away?
As Madam Jiles heard this, her face fell, but she comforted him, "Jayden, calm down first!"
Jayden's turned red. In an anxious and sharp voice, he said, "Can I not be in a hurry? Her lawyer came to our house today! Dad made this will before his death. If she applies for compulsory execution to the court, we can't do anything but hand over what she wants! Mom, are we really going to give the property to that little bitch?"
Madam Jiles narrowed her cold eyes. "Jayden, don't worry about this. I'll deal with it!"
Jayden looked at her with uncertainty. "Mom, can you really find a way?"
"Sure!" She nodded.
After comforting her son, Madam Jiles went upstairs and returned to her bedroom.
After sitting at the end of the bed and hesitating for a few seconds, she called someone on the landline and said in a sinister voice, "Kidnap someone for me, but remember not to kill her!"
