Getting punched twice in a row left Mr. Lawton completely stunned.
He didn’t even know why he’d been hit.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Mr. Lawton looked up at Adrian Sutton, his anger uncontrollable.
His sinister, cruel eyes glinted with killing intent.
He savagely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and ground his teeth.
"It seems you have a death wish."
Adrian Sutton shot an utterly contemptuous glance at Mr. Lawton, whose cheek was already swelling up.
The man’s gaze was exceptionally vicious and venomous.
Like a viper, ready to strike at any mont.
’Just a minor character like this?’
’And he dares to look at like that?’
A slight curve ford on Adrian Sutton’s lips.
With a scoff, he lifted his foot and kicked straight for the man’s groin.
Caught completely off guard, Mr. Lawton took the full force of the kick. An excruciating pain instantly erupted from his groin.
He imdiately let out a bloodcurdling scream and clutched his crotch with both hands.
After casting a cold glance at the continuously screaming Mr. Lawton, Adrian Sutton strode toward the inner room.
Only when he saw Claire rcer unhard and her clothes intact did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn’t waste a second, scooping up the unconscious Claire rcer and leaving imdiately.
Seeing the woman he was just about to have in his grasp being carried away by this young punk,
Mr. Lawton, in his panic, ignored the pain in his groin and scrambled after them in a ridiculous posture.
"What do you think you’re doing? Put her down!"
Without even turning his head, Adrian Sutton pinpointed the man’s location by sound and kicked backward with his right foot.
Mr. Lawton, who had just caught up, was caught off guard and kicked again.
He was sent sprawling, landing flat on his back.
When he tried to struggle back up and give chase, the pain from his groin was so intense it made his scalp tingle.
"You dared to touch my wife. Now you can disappear from this world."
Without looking back, Adrian Sutton left with Claire rcer in his arms after tossing out that sentence.
Mr. Lawton glared hatefully at their disappearing figures, so furious that he pounded the floor with his fists.
He roared madly toward the door, "Where is everyone? Are you all dead?"
"Get them! Bring them back to !"
’I’m going to make that man pay, severely.’
’I’ll use the cruelest thods to show him what I’m capable of.’
But no matter how long he roared in the room, only silence answered him.
’What’s going on?’
’Where are the n who were guarding the door?’
’Why is no one here?’
Blinded by rage, Mr. Lawton didn’t notice that sothing was amiss.
’He cursed them inwardly. Useless trash, taking his money and not doing their jobs.’
’To screw up at a critical mont like this.’
’I’m going to fire every single one of them.’
After a mont, he slowly recalled what Adrian Sutton had just said.
’He said Claire rcer is his wife?’
’So that guy just now... he’s that pauper Claire rcer married?’
’Hah!’
’Just so bottom-feeding plebeian with no power, no influence, and no money.’
’And he dared to co to my territory and beat up...’
Mr. Lawton could never swallow this insult.
’I have to catch this man and torture him until he’s half-dead.’
’I’ll make him understand the miserable fate that awaits anyone who provokes , Chester Lawton.’
As he thought this, he slamd his fist hard onto the floor, the resulting pain making him suck in a sharp breath.
The movent aggravated the pain in his groin, making him grimace.
「anwhile.」
Adrian Sutton took Claire rcer to the hospital.
He had her undergo a full physical examination.
Fortunately, aside from being drugged, there was nothing wrong with her.
She had no external injuries, nor were there any signs of assault.
Only then did Adrian Sutton truly feel at ease.
’If that Mr. Lawton had really done anything to Claire, I would have made sure he died a particularly grueso death.’
He brought Claire rcer back ho.
He gently placed her on her bed and covered her with a light sumr blanket.
Thinking about what the rcer Family and that Mr. Lawton had done to Claire, Adrian Sutton couldn’t wait another mont.
He imdiately called Hughes, urging him to handle the matters he’d previously assigned with the utmost speed.
"Also, focus the investigation on Chester Lawton’s company."
"Hand over any evidence of his illegal activities to the relevant authorities and have it dealt with as soon as possible."
From the mont he stepped onto the top floor of Celestine Tower, he knew that Mr. Lawton was definitely involved in so illegal dealings.
That top-floor suite was what he used to curry favor with certain people.
Hughes understood the gravity of the situation, so how could he dare to delay for even a second?
He imdiately assigned more manpower to ’encircle’ the rcer Group and dig deep for evidence of Chester Lawton’s company’s suspected criminal activities.
Claire rcer remained unconscious for several hours, only waking up in the afternoon.
It was clear how strong a dose of knockout drug they had used on her.
During this ti, Adrian Sutton had stayed by her bedside, never leaving her side.
Seeing her awake, the grim expression on his face finally softened a little.
He asked with a concerned look, "Claire, you’re awake? How are you feeling now?"
"Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Do you want so water? Are you hungry?"
Claire rcer opened her eyes and looked around.
Seeing that she was in her own bedroom, she felt a small sense of relief.
Noticing Adrian Sutton’s worried expression, she asked him softly.
"Did you bring back?"
Adrian Sutton nodded. "I felt sothing was wrong after I got your ssage."
"So I used your phone’s location to find you."
Even though she was back ho, Claire rcer didn’t feel happy at all.
She rembered being sched against by the rcer Family again, and being drugged...
She rembered being taken to the top floor of a tower by a man pretending to be from the notary’s office.
She didn’t know anything that happened after that.
Claire rcer didn’t need to guess what that man would do after drugging her.
But she didn’t know if she had been violated after she lost consciousness.
She was scared, worried, and filled with dread.
She didn’t dare to ask, afraid the answer would be sothing she couldn’t bear to accept.
Adrian Sutton saw the worry in her heart and quickly moved to reassure her.
"Thankfully, you’re okay. You don’t have to worry about being hard in any other way."
As soon as he said this, Claire rcer’s sowhat dazed eyes instantly brightened.
Then, suspecting he might just be trying to comfort her, she asked, "Is what you’re saying... is it true?"
"It’s true." Adrian Sutton nodded very seriously.
"After we left the tower, I took you to the hospital for a detailed, full-body examination."
Saying this, he imdiately handed her the examination report.
"Look, this is the hospital’s report."
Claire rcer stared at the report for a long ti.
She read it over and over again, ticulously.
Only after confirming that she truly hadn’t been violated did she let out a heavy sigh of relief.
A sense of relief, like surviving a disaster, washed over her.
A faint smile finally appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Adrian Sutton also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can relax now, right?"
Claire rcer nodded lightly and turned her head to look at him.
"Adrian Sutton, how can I ever thank you?"
