    Emily Walker raised her head, but she didn’t see anyone around and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.


    “Over here.” At the shopping mall entrance steps, Adrian Nash was driving a Bugatti out of the basement garage. When he saw a familiar figure through his rearview mirror, he reversed the car and saw that it was her.


    He waved to her from inside the car, and Emily finally noticed him.


    Opening the car door, Adrian walked out and headed towards Emily.


    Seeing him, Emily was naturally a bit surprised, “Long time no see, what are you doing here?”


    Adrian smiled softly, with his usual charming allure in the corner of his lips, “Because I saw you.”


    Emily was taken aback by his sudden words and responded with an unnatural smile.


    Although she knew Adrian loved to joke, Emily always felt a bit ufortable when it involved her.


    Adrian looked around her and, seeing no one else, he asked in a low voice, “Are you alone?”


    Emily nodded, “Yes.”


    Looking closely, Adrian seemed to notice the red finger marks on her face, and he frowned, “What happened to your face?”


    It looked like she had been hit by someone.


    Upon hearing this, Emily was startled and then awkwardly smiled, not really minding. After all, she had been hit several times before and seemed to be getting used to it.


    “Um, it’s nothing…”


    Admitting that she got hit would certainly be embarrassing, right?


    “You were hit?” Adrian was both shocked and surprised by his own discovery.


    The red finger marks on her face suggested that something had happened recently. Who would hit her in broad daylight?


    Baron Stuart?


    The only person Adrian could think of was Baron Stuart.


    He had learned recently from Wace Carter that Emily was effectively imprisoned by Baron Stuart, and right now he couldn’t think of anyone else.


    But given Baron Stuart’s character, would he really hit a woman?


    Moreover, he wasn’t likely to hit her of all people, right?<fn2169> Get full chapters from FindN()vel</fn2169>


    But desperate times lead to desperate measures, especially with Baron Stuart’s unpredictable temperament.


    Emily chuckled, “It’s nothing, just—ah—”


    As she spoke, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind and, with an unsteady footing, she stumbled a few steps. Just as she was about to fall, Adrian quickly reached out and caught Emily. Thus, she fell right into Adrian’s embrace, “Are you okay?” He looked at her with concern and asked.


    Emily let out a sigh of relief, shook her head, “I’m fine.”


    The person who’d just bumped into her also seemed to realize what they’d done and apologized in a hurry, “I’m so sorry, very sorry! I’m very sorry!”


    After saying this, the person seemed to have some urgent matter to attend to and hurriedly left.


    Cam Walker and Ang Reid, who were justing out of the shopping mall, happened to see this scene.


    Seeing Emily throw herself into Adrian’s arms so openly, Cam couldn’t help butugh and let out a cold snort, “Wow, you really do have a boundless charm!


    You fell into another man’s arms so quickly?”


    Hearing this, both Emily and Adrian looked at Cam and Ang, who were walking out of the mall.


    Listening to Cam’s words, Emily realized her actions and quickly pushed herself out of Adrian’s arms and stood up straight.


    While ncing at Cam, Adrian suddenly realized that perhaps the red finger marks on Emily’s face were her doing..
