Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 625

Adolf looked at Avery with a frustrated and anxious look. "What the hell, Avery? How can you say that I was buttering up Wade Wang? Besides, you are not certain if he even did it on purpose, but I'm pretty sure that he wanted to blackmail us. Honestly? If he just wants the money, then why not? It's no big deal, but what's making my blood boil is that he wants to ruin your reputation!

You know that we don't have any connection here in China to begin with, so I did what I had to do to stop him from destroying your reputation, or else it will be difficult for you to enter into the Chinese market," he explained, the frustration now gone and only anxiety appeared on his face.

Avery looked at him and stifled a sob. "But it was his fault! Why do you have to humiliate yourself this way? More importantly, I don't want you to… to kiss his ass to protect my reputation! If he wants to ruin it, then go ahead! Let him! I would never kiss his ass even if it's the last thing I should do on earth. So, Adolf, please, don't you ever do that. I already feel hurt for you doing this. It's like a knife being stabbed straight through my heart."

After Avery said this with a sob, she moved towards Adolf and embraced him tightly.

For a moment, Adolf was stunned, and then he started to feel embarrassed as Avery sobbed on his chest. He stood still, not knowing what to do.

It was only after a short while that he remembered he was holding the soup dumplings, so as soon as he realized this, he held the soup dumplings away from Avery, so as not to scald her.

As he witnessed the scene, Zed's face softened and he felt a wave of respect for Adolf surging inside of him.

It was obvious that Adolf truly cared for Avery that he even bought the soup dumplings just to please Wade.

What Adolf didn't understand was that the more he cared, the more trouble he might cause.

Moreover, adopting a mild tactic was futile to treat people like Wade.

He had to adopt a tougher way to even scratch the surface and intimidate Wade.

Then, Adolf realized Zed was there as well, so he immediately found his words. "Avery, let go. Zed is here, aren't you afraid that he will laugh at you when he sees you like this? More importantly, your boyfriend, Moore, might see us like this, and he might get upset again. Don't forget that today, when Wade mocked you…"

"Shut up, Adolf!" Avery immediately let go of Adolf. Her face was flushed red, and her eyes pierced at him with anger and embarrassment.

Adolf instantly stopped talking.

'Well, would you let me go if I hadn't said that?' He thought as he gave Avery a bitter smile.

When Avery tried to catch her breath and calm herself, Adolf realized something. His eyebrows immediately furrowed into a frown. "Speaking of Wade, you just made him angry, and I'm certain that he won't let this go easily…"

"No, Zed was there," Avery interrupted with anger still evident in her tone. "How serious do you think it would get? Besides, there is nothing to worry about. Zed has already kicked him out, and he made sure that that bastard couldn't do anything to hurt me or influence me anymore," she continued.

"Really?" Adolf asked, his eyes widened in surprise. He then looked at Zed for affirmation.

Zed simply nodded and gave Adolf a reassuring smile.

Relief coursed through Adolf as he excitedly walked over to Zed to offer him a hand. "Thank you, Mr. Qi," he said as Zed accepted his hand for a shake. Then, he looked at the soup dumplings he was holding.

Thinking about who the dumplings were for, the relief that coursed through him was replaced by anger, causing him to toss the whole container into the garbage bin.

"Why did you do that?" Looking at him with cold eyes, Avery playfully frowned and added in a sarcastic tone. "You spent so much time and energy just to please him, so how could you just throw them away?"

Adolf turned to Avery with a frustrated look and replied, "Avery, if you say that again, I will beat you myself."

As she heard Adolf's words, the corners of Avery's lips lifted into a smile.

Adolf then turned to Zed again and expressed his gratitude once more. "Thank you so much, Mr. Qi, for all the help and support."

Zed smiled and replied, "You're welcome. It's my pleasure, and besides, what are friends for?"

Adolf's eyebrows furrowed softly as he looked at Zed with a bitter smile on his face. "Even though we are friends, I feel like I should still thank you for all you have done. For the short period of time that I have stayed in H City, I have finally met a rude and unreasonable person, who in fact was really who we think he is.

If you hadn't stepped up to help me, I couldn't imagine what Wade would have done to me," said Adolf.

In reply, Zed gave Adolf a weak smile and fidgeted with his nose after. Even though he was used to people thanking him, he still felt embarrassed and still didn't know how to respond to it.

Then again, Wade had indeed crossed the line today.

'I had spoken up for Wade earlier in front of Jean, but he didn't strike me as a scumbag until just now, ' thought Zed.

Zed couldn't believe that Wade could even dare threaten Avery, taking this chance to help himself climb higher.
