Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Save Him 

Evelyn sniffed, “No, Mrs. Moxley. I’m just too excited, I’m happy.”

Donna finally felt relieved and said with a smile. “This kid. Look at me fussing around for so long, the food is almost getting cold. Let’s all

eat quickly.”

Upon reaching the dining table, Evelyn was about to sit next to Deborah.

Donna spoke up again, “Adrian, why don’t you sit with Eve? Ms. Shepherd has Mr. Black and Alyssa to look after her, but it’s Eve’s first time here. She’s a shy girl, so take care of her, help her with her food and serve her some soup.”

Evelyn received Joseph’s generous year-end bonus, so naturally, she had to do her job well.

The dining table has one seat at each end, and three seats on both the left and right sides.

Evelyn was originally sitting with Deborah Joseph, while Alyssa was sitting with Adrian on the other side.

Donna sat at the head of the table.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn immediately stood up and took the initiative to sit next to Adrian across the table.

Alyssa cooperated as well getting up and moving to the spot where Evelyn had just been sitting, now sitting next to Deborah.

Adrian glanced disdainfully at Evelyn, who had moved closer to him.

Bah! Wishful thinking. He wouldn’t even give a second glance to a woman like her.

If it weren’t for Donna threatening him, saying that he plans to go abroad next year, and that she won’t speak up for him in front of his parents when the time comes.

His parents always listened to Donna, so he figured he would just play along for a few days before laying his cards on the table with Evelyn. Adrian’s mind was filled with twists and turns, but he didn’t say anything. The atmosphere during the meal was strangely awkward as they

finished eating.

Halfway through the meal, Adrian noticed Donna’s constant hints. So, he simply got up, picked up the serving spoon, and placed some

food into Deborah’s bowl

As a result, everyone turned to look at him simultaneously, and Joseph’s gaze almost strangled him on the spot.

Adrian was genuinely upset.

He knew that Joseph had come to Richmond, surely to settle scores with him.

But he thought Joseph would come over to scold him, or even give him a beating.

To his utter surprise, Joseph brought him a woman out of the blue.

It made him feel even worse than eating a fly.

The more Adrian thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided that after finishing dinner, he would definitely have a good talk with Joseph and let off some steam with a bit of sparring.

As soon as they finished eating, he turned to Joseph and said, “Mr. Black, I have a few words I’d like to discuss with you privately. Shall we

go to the backyard to talk?”

Donna immediately tried to stop him, noticing that Adrian had it intentions.

Adrian stared at Joseph, ‘Mr. Black, it’s just a little chat. You wouldn’t be so disrespectful, would you?”

Joseph stood up with a smile, “Alright, then Mr. Moxley, please lead the way.”

Adrian let out a cold laugh and headed straight for the backyard.

Joseph was so disgusting to him that today, he had to beat him down and vent his anger properly.

The two of them left, with Evelyn wearing a worried expression on her face.

It won’t be life-threatening, right? I really want to go watch the show.

Why go to the backyard? It’s so much better right here.

After finishing their meal, Donna was planning to have a good chat with Evelyn when someone entered from outside.

The housekeeper’s alarmed cry soon reached her, “Ms. Moxley, are you alright?”

Rebecca entered the room, distraught and disheveled. Her once cold and haughty eyes were now red and swollen, clearly showing that

she had been crying.

Donna was startled and immediately got up, asking, “Rebecca, what’s going on? What happened?”

Rebecca remained silent, continuing to walk forward.

As she approached the dining table, she suddenly stopped and replied to Donna, “Grandma, I’m fine.”

Donna worriedly asked. “How can this be okay? Look at the state you’re in!”

Rebecca looked at Deborah with a cold gaze, “Can I have a word with you in private?”

Deborah immediately figured out what was going on with Rebecca.

In such a terrible state, why else would he want to talk to Deborah as soon as he got back, if not for Ashton?

Deborah remained silent.
