Listening to the words from the small woman in the passenger seat, Adrian Grant’s handsome face turned cold, and he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at her. "What did you call me?" He raised his hand to pinch her small face as a punishment. Raina Lowell was truly stimulated by the alcohol, her little face flushed like a ripe peach. Especially that full and rosy little mouth, so tender it seemed like it could overflow with water. She smacked her lips, pushed Adrian Grant’s hand away, leaned back in the seat, and continued: "Aren’t you an old man? You’re 34, a whole ten years older than me. I’m such a young girl, full of youthful beauty, marrying you, and you still aren’t satisfied, going to mess around with that old woman Isabelle Everett." She spoke animatedly, gesturing with her arms. "How am I any worse than Isabelle Everett?" "Yes, I gave birth to two children for someone else, but their arrival wasn’t my choice. You don’t even know what I’ve been through, always humiliating me and bullying me. Can’t you just cut me some slack, since you’re so much older?" Raina Lowell was completely intoxicated, wrinkling her small face as she began to cry. "You old fool, I hate you to death, I hate you, I don’t want to be your wife anymore, boohoo..." Adrian Grant watched her. Seeing tears at the corners of her eyes, looking so distressed. He completely ignored what she was saying, slamming the gas pedal down. After the car arrived at the hotel, he carried her straight to the room. But Raina Lowell was restless in his arms, punching and biting him. Continuing to cry, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to provoke Grandpa’s death." "Adrian Grant, I feel really sad too. Do you know every time you bully me, it’s like you stab a knife into my heart?" She, feeling wronged, suddenly became gentle like a kitten, pitiable. Adrian Grant might have really realized he’s older, and should let her have her way more. Along the way, he didn’t lose his temper, and while carrying her to the room, he coaxed her softly. "If you listen to me obediently, why would I bully you?" Noticing her face getting redder, and her exposed neck appearing to have many little red rashes. Realizing she might have alcohol poisoning again, Adrian Grant kicked open the suite door and shouted towards Isabelle Everett’s sleeping room: "Isabelle Everett, hurry up and call the doctor over." Isabelle, having been left behind earlier, was already feeling upset inside. Hearing the shout, she got up and saw Adrian Grant bringing Raina Lowell back, feeling even more angry. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelꜰire.net She leaned close to the bed to see what trick Raina Lowell was playing this time. But Adrian Grant yelled at her angrily, "What are you looking at? I told you to call the doctor immediately." Isabelle Everett, startled by his shout, reluctantly took out her phone to call for an emergency doctor. Adrian Grant truly noticed something was seriously wrong with Raina Lowell, fearing something might happen to her, he quickly called Elias Sheridan in Southgate. Then, following Elias Sheridan’s instructions, he began performing first aid measures on Raina Lowell. Raina Lowell was truly uncomfortable and couldn’t settle down. Constantly flailing her arms and legs. To get her to cooperate, Adrian pressed her down on the bed and gently coaxed her. "Raina, be good. Don’t fuss, okay? I’ll wipe your body. Otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable." "Don’t move. With so many rashes, it’ll itch, and if you scratch, it’ll leave scars." "Don’t be afraid, Raina. The doctor will be here soon." Realizing Raina Lowell might die from alcohol poisoning. Adrian Grant was truly worried. As he couldn’t calm her down as she kept scratching herself, he pressed her onto the bed and kissed her. Completely ignoring that Isabelle Everett was still standing there. Watching Adrian Grant’s actions, Isabelle Everett felt a furious jealousy in her heart. She always thought Adrian Grant was gentle enough with her. She hadn’t expected him to coax Raina Lowell like a child, with such care. Even taking the initiative to kiss her. As if she were the most precious thing. It was at this moment that Isabelle Everett realized that Adrian Grant might truly love Raina Lowell. Otherwise, he wouldn’t overlook Raina Lowell having two children, or even anger his grandfather to death. Isabelle Everett was unwilling to accept this. Why should she lose to Raina Lowell? She must still have a way to break them apart. The doctor arrived quickly. Fortunately, Adrian Grant had anticipated the situation and applied cold compresses to Raina Lowell’s rash areas. After the doctor gave Raina an injection and some pills, there was no longer any threat. But Raina Lowell had already fallen asleep by then. Worried about her, Adrian Grant didn’t leave her side for a moment that entire night, ignoring Isabelle Everett as well. Early the next morning, Ethan Everett came by to call Adrian Grant to discuss a collaboration. Seeing Isabelle Everett, he ignored her. That kind of woman who shamelessly clings to a married man. Whatever she does, he couldn’t care less. Adrian Grant also knew he had more important work this time. Seeing the red rashes on Raina’s body gradually disappearing, he felt reassured and left the room to tell Isabelle Everett. "I’m going to work with your brother, so don’t . Stay here and look after Raina. If she feels unwell, take care of her." Isabelle Everett replied reluctantly: "Alright, you two go ahead and rest assured." After seeing them off, Isabelle returned to the room, looking at the still-sleeping Raina Lowell, wanting to strangle her. If Raina Lowell were dead, no one would be competing with her for Adrian Grant. But if she did it herself, there would be no good outcome for her either. To protect herself, Isabelle Everett could only do what she did last time—pay someone else to do it. This time, she wouldn’t let Raina Lowell escape so easily. Raina Lowell woke up in the morning. Seeing herself back in the hotel, she struggled to recall the events of last night, but couldn’t remember anything. She only vaguely remembered constantly scolding people, calling them old geezers. Raina Lowell didn’t know who she was scolding, felt a bit hungry, and was about to freshen up and eat when the door suddenly opened. She looked up and saw a stranger sneaking in. The two locked eyes in surprise. Raina Lowell quickly grabbed her nearby bag, reached for the pepper spray her son had given her, and shouted at the intruder: "Who are you? Get out of here." The man, seeing there was no one else in the room, just a young girl who looked easy to bully, sneered and approached her. "Don’t be scared, little missy. Uncle’s here to pamper you." With that, he lunged at Raina Lowell. Raina Lowell, with quick reflexes, immediately pulled out the pepper spray and aimed it at his eyes. After just two sprays, the man couldn’t close in on Raina Lowell and started howling in pain, covering his eyes. Taking advantage of the situation, Raina Lowell pushed him away and ran for the door. She hadn’t expected Isabelle Everett to be waiting at the door. Stopping in her tracks, Raina Lowell asked in surprise, "Did you send him?" She had long known Isabelle Everett had malicious intentions, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals. But she couldn’t believe Isabelle would dare to go this far. Wasn’t she afraid Adrian Grant and Ethan Everett would see her true colors and send her to prison? Isabelle Everett sneered, holding a knife, approached Raina Lowell. "Yes, I arranged it. Didn’t expect you to escape so quickly." She seemed prepared, waiting by the door on purpose, smiling smugly to provoke Raina Lowell. "Raina Lowell, let me tell you an astonishing secret. That accident you and your daughter had last time, I arranged that too." "Also, it was me who pulled the oxygen tube on Grandpa Grant. I was the one who angered him to death."
