Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Adeline and Curtis Fell Flat in Front of Old Mrs. Riley

Tristan was dressed in all black and came with ten bodyguards. His appearance seemed like he had come to pick up a fight.

Old Mrs. Riley had just lifted her teacup, but she slowly put it down, nodding vaguely as she said, "What a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence. I am here today to ask you for something."

While Tristan was saying that, he handed over a bag of chestnut pies wrapped in paper. He opened it and broke one of them in half, then handed half of it to her.

"I heard that you enjoy these, so I came to deliver them personally. You can enjoy them with tea while watching the play."

Old Mrs. Riley's expression seemed to think of something. She knew that Tristan was reminding her of the favor the Morris family had shown the Riley family during a chaotic period in the past.

Back then, the patriarch of the Riley family had been wrongly accused, and the entire family had been forced to flee. Along the way, they encountered various hardships. All their money had been stolen and they starved for several days.

The patriarch of the Morris family had taken pity on them and given their daughter half a chestnut pie.

Later, the old patriarch of the Riley family revisited his old haunts and unexpectedly encountered the Morris family. He mentioned that he would certainly repay the favor of the half piece of chestnut pie in the future.

Old Mrs. Riley scrutinized that half piece of chestnut pie for a long time before eventually accepting it.

After all, back in the day, her eldest daughter had eaten most of that pie.

It could be said that it saved her daughter, who had been on the brink of starving.

However, after accepting it, Old Mrs. Riley didn't eat it. She just placed it aside and stared at Tristan. She asked, "Who do you want from an old woman like me?"

Seeing that old Mrs. Riley accepted the pie, Tristan had a sense of assurance.

He straightened up and pointed at Adeline. He said, "She's one of them."

Adeline sat calmly without showing any response. She remained composed and didn't rush to defend herself.

Old Mrs. Riley cast a sidelong glance at her and silently praised her demeanor and composure. That aura and reaction were truly suitable for a potential mistress of the household.

Old Mrs. Riley took a sip of tea and smiled as she asked, "Why do you want my granddaughter-in-law? Has my granddaughter-in-law done something wrong?"

"Granddaughter-in-law?" Tristan smiled, leaned down, and answered old Mrs. Riley, "Are you sure she is the granddaughter-in-law or something else? Why did I hear from my incompetent son that Ms. Burton... climbed into the bed of Curtis?"

Curtis sensed Adeline's tightly clenched hand and his mouth couldn't hold onto it anymore.

As he calmly ran his slender fingers along the wheelchair's armrest, he asked in a subdued tone, "Mr. Morris, are you treating me as if I'm dead now?"

His voice was faint but carried a strong sense of intimidation.

The eye contact between them was intense. Curtis's stern and domineering gaze made even the experienced businessman Tristan, who was in his fifties, feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"I have warned you last night. If you don't want your son to be arrested on drug trafficking charges, you should behave yourself."

Tristan recalled the embarrassment of being threatened and immediately became furious.

"Old Mrs. Riley, I've come today to ask for your help! I know Curtis has his way in Prodiff, manipulating others and whatnot, but I don't care. But my son is innocent of drug trafficking. He deliberately framed my son, and for the sake of Ms. Burton, he even had my son admitted to the ICU!"

As he spoke, Logan also entered the Prodiff Theater, carrying the chestnut pie. He hurried over and spoke anxiously.

"Grandmother, what Mr. Morris said just now, except for the part about Uncle Curtis and Adeline, everything else is true. Please help Adeline."
