Ms. Escape Marrying to Run Fighting to Rise novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Goodbye

#emished

Matthew’s face darkened as he stepped in front of Adriana to shield her. “Mom, you promised you wouldn’t come after Adriana. I said I’d handle it myself

“Handle what?” Elise snapped. “Your idea of handling it is hiring a lawyer to beg for a reduced sentence? Mia cannot go to jail!”

Matthew defended Adriana. “They broke the law. A reduced sentence is already the best she can get.”

Elise slammed her hand on the table and stood up. “Matthew, your grandpa loves Mia the most. If you mess

this

1. up. then deal with the consequences yourself. Once your grandpa loses faith in you and lets that illegitimate son into the family, you’ll lose your place in the Langfords entirely!”

Matthew’s face tightened.

“We’re leaving Elise gestured for Natasha and Felicia to follow. She wanted to give Matthew and Adriana some “private space” to talk.

She was willing to sacrifice Matthew if it meant saving Mia.

But she was too confident in him.”

Adriana didn’t want Matthew anymore.

Natasha gave Matthew a bitter look, took a deep breath, then followed Elise and Felicia out.

Felicia, even knowing Elise’s intention, didn’t stop her. She cared more about saving Rufus.

Rufus was the true treasure of the Jones family.

Compared to him, Natasha was just an accessory–someone the family used for business marriage deals.

Cheryl scoffed and walked out, too. On her way out, she secretly snapped a picture of Matthew and Adriana with her phone.

She planned to send it to Curtis. She wanted Curtis to think Adriana still had feelings for Matthew. She wanted Curtis to think Adriana was cheating.

Now the room was empty except for Matthew and Adriana.

“Adriana, I’m sorry,” Matthew said, worried. “I didn’t know Natasha would bring my mom here. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”

Adriana kept her distance. Tm Curtis’s wife. They don’t dare touch me.”

Matthew looked hurt and gave a bitter smile. “You’re still mad at me….

“Mr. Langford, you’re overthinking it. I’m not mad.” Adriana shook her head. “But don’t waste your time. I won’t drop the case, and I won’t sign anything to help Mia or Rufus. Give up.”

Matthew nodded. “I’m not trying to force you. I tried stopping my mom. I told them I would handle everything… I did it so they wouldn’t bother you,”

Chapter 156 Goodbye

“Well, then, there’s no need for us to meet again. Goodbye” Adriana didn’t want to stay for the class gathering anymore. Her entire class, even the teacher, sided with Cheryl. It was pathetic.

Her eyes stung, and she wanted to leave before she cried.

Finished

“Adriana…” Matthew’s voice was hoarse. His breathing was uneven. “When can we go back to how we used to be

Adriana ignored him and opened the door.

They were never going back.

Curtis finished the last task in his CEO’s office at Lincoln Group’s Haldoria branch and walked out of the

meeting room.

“Don’t schedule anything for tomorrow or the day after. Curtis ordered.

“Tomorrow and the day after?” Kenneth blinked. “Mr. Lincoln, you already have two days off starting the day after tomorrow

Curtis stopped walking and looked at him. “Do you think I rushed through all my work just so you could schedule more work for me?”

Kenneth went stiff and bowed his head. “No…

Curtis smirked. Four days off didn’t feel like enough. “Add my annual leave to that?

Kenneth’s mouth twitched. Whatever Curtis said was final

“Mr. Lincoln, are you traveling for work? Should I come with you?” Kenneth was clueless. He had never been in a relationship.

I’m going on a honeymoon. Why would you come? Curtis said bluntly.

Kenneth’s jaw dropped, but he swallowed his shock.

He suddenly felt that Curtis was deeply in love.

And a little mean about it, too.

“I’m leaving early today,” Curtis said.
