Chapter 940 That’s Called Skill
Just when Carolyn was cursing enthusiastically, the sound of glass cracking suddenly went off. Shockingly, Adrien had crushed the wine glass with his bare hands. Carolyn’s expression changed drastically. She immediately grabbed his still- bleeding hand and said anxiously, “Ah, Mr. Tanner! What happened to you? Why are you so clumsy?”
Saying this, she hurriedly let the bodyguards fetch the first aid kit. Adrien, with a cold glare, stared at her but, with a smile on his face, said, “It’s fine. I merely just felt a little furious.”
“Furious?” Carolyn looked at him, puzzled, “What are you furious for?”
Adrien suddenly, with soft movements, caressed her shoulder and said, “You were clearly so nice. Back then, Christopher had gone beyond his league in pursuing you. How could he treat you like this?”
Carolyn’s face was red from his praises. The anger in her heart was immediately swept away and replaced with a glint of a secret delight. Anthony watched Adrien’s movements thoughtfully. A glimmer of inquisition flashed in his eyes. After a while, he chuckled while standing up, “Listening to all of you curse Emilia Becker and her daughter, even I felt embarrassed for you all. Other people can seduce men based on their skills in bed. That’s called skills. You should all take a leaf out of her book.”
“You!” Sharon was so angry that she was about to curse someone. Instead, Anthony directly walked away in a dashing manner.
She secretly gritted her teeth but could only swallow her anger back into her stomach. Adrien’s gaze that stared at Carolyn was affectionate and gentle. Carolyn’s whole heart had completely fallen for him.
Adrien suddenly smiled at her, saying, “Stay with me here tonight. Don’t go back with
him.”
Carolyn nodded her head without even a bit of consideration. Sharon hurriedly pulled at her arm,” Mother, let’s not do that. What if father finds out?”
“That’s fine. If Christopher knows, then he knows. How could I possibly be afraid of him?” Carolyn frowned at her while speaking, “Anyway, what are you doing still recognizing that coward as your father? Look at Mr. Tanner. This kind of father would be worthy of your pride instead!”
Sharon pursed her lips and looked at Adrien a little bashfully. Naturally, she hoped a charismatic, competent, and powerful man like Adrien Tanner would become her
father. However, it was unknown if Adrien was willing to or not.
Mia sneered, “So what if I did hit her? You two are a pair of mutts. What right do you have to come to see Jensen? Get out of my sight!”
