Chapter 24 Mr. Davis Would Come Back

When Shelley opened her eyes, she saw a bright and charming woman pointing at her and gnashing her teeth.
The woman wore a V-neck sweater and a red woolen coat, with maroon curly hair hanging down to her waist. She was holding a limited-edition bag in her hand and looked as elegant as a celebrity.
Shelley froze for a moment and then got up. She combed her messy hair with her fingers and said, "Your friend? Do you need me to go out?"
"No need," Adrian responded in a cold voice. He stared at that woman with freezing eyes and said, "Emily, will you stop?!"
Emily Johnson's eyes were red from being yelled at, and she glared at Shelley.
She was wearing a hospital gown, but it was hard to hide her delicate facial features. Her delicate face was pale, and she looked sleepy and weak.
Emily couldn't help but roar. "So you keep rejecting me because of that bitch?!"
Shelley was speechless.
She met another woman who was captivated by Adrian!
Her eyelashes trembled. Shelley hesitated whether she should speak or not.
After thinking about it, she didn't say a word.
This was Adrian's personal affair, which should be resolved by himself.
She would be out of line if she spoke.
"Emily!" Adrian frowned because of Emily's words and his face was gloomy. He said, "If you don't know how to talk, you should shut up. If you talk nonsense again, I don't mind throwing you out!"
"Adrian!" Emily was so aggrieved and was about to cry. "Tell me. Who is she?!"
Adrian glanced at Shelley. When he was about to speak, Shelley interrupted him.
Her voice was soft and a little hoarse after waking up. "Miss Johnson, right? Don't get me wrong. Adrian and I are just friends."
"Friends?" Emily snorted coldly, "I've never seen a woman sleep in the same room with her male friend."
"I had an accident. Adrian met and saved me," Shelley replied calmly, "He is just afraid that something will happen to me, so he is here to accompany me for several days."
For some reason, when Shelley said this, even she felt something was wrong.
It seemed she was showing off.
But she just wanted to help Adrian and only said part of the truth.
She didn't expect the part of the truth would cause misunderstanding easily.
Emily, who seemed to have a hot temper, obviously misunderstood them.
She smiled coldly as if she had seen Shelley through. She said, "I see. You're an Angelic bitch. It seems you're quite skilled. I suggest you stay away from Adrian. Our family and the Layton family are close, and our parents also intend to let us be together, so he is mine. Don't even think about it."
Shelley's eyes were wide open. She didn't expect there would be marriages arranged by elders.
She started to suspect Adrian, who might be unwilling to obey the wishes of the family, in addition to fulfilling the promise when he easily agreed to marry her.
"I..."
When Shelley said a word, she watched Adrian stand up with wide eyes. He grabbed Emily's arm and dragged her towards the door.
Emily was also shocked. She staggered and almost sprained her feet several times.
"Adrian, let me go. Let me go!" She struggled desperately, but Adrian's hand was like an iron hoop and clamped her arm. Emily added, "Adrian, believe it or not. If you don't let me go, I'll tell Davidson!"
Adrian's face instantly turned dark.
The gloomy aura on his body was oppressive and suffocating.
He looked at Emily. His gaze was cold and even vaguely tinged with killing intent.
Emily reacted. What she said just now was completely taboo for Adrian.
She was a little scared, but the arrogance she had been used to since she was a child made her raise her chin high. "If Davidson knew that you were interested in such a woman, what do you think he would do? And what will Casper do?"
"Emily Johnson!" Adrian's voice was as freezing as a brick.
His every word hit Emily's heart.
Her expression changed, and she became frightened.
Davidson and Casper's names were the ones that could make Adrian furious the most in this world.
Emily mentioned both of them in a fit of pique.
She twisted her fingers and was at a loss. As she grew up in the Johnson family, she was too arrogant and unable to give in. She just raised her chin and stared at Adrian.
She even provoked him desperately. "So what if you get angry again? Do you dare to beat me for her?"
Adrian grabbed her wrist, frowned, and said calmly, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you just because of the friendship between our families?"
Adrian grabbed her wrist tightly and made her in pain.
Those words he said were like steel needles, stabbing into her heart.
Emily thought, "Who is that woman? He threatened me because of her?"
Emily turned her head and looked at Shelley.
Her sharp eyes made Shelley freeze and frown.
Shelley blinked and looked at Emily and Adrian back and forth. Her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her eyes in thought.
When Adrian saw her like this, his eyes flickered. Then he grabbed Emily's wrist and forcefully pulled her away.
In the ward, Shelley pursed her lips and looked at the door.
She suddenly felt Adrian was not simple.
Especially the aura emanated from him was even stronger than Mr. Davis.
She couldn't help but wonder about his background.
After thinking about it, Shelley took the phone and clicked on Alfred's account on WhatsApp. She wanted him to help her investigate.
However, when her fingertip touched the input board, she paused again.
The most important thing between a couple was trust. If she asked Alfred to help with the investigation and Adrian found it, how could they face each other?
After a pause, Shelley deleted the words she had typed.
Just as she was about to turn off the phone, someone called her.
Seeing that familiar number, Shelley immediately showed a bright smile.
She answered the phone and greeted excitedly, "Mr. Davis."
"Shelley." On the other end of the phone, a lazy male voice sounded slowly. "Alfred said you were sick. How are you? Do you feel better?"
"I'm fine. Sorry to let you worry about me."
"It's okay, but I'm a little upset about this matter!"
Shelley didn't know how to explain for a moment. She said, "Mr. Davis..."
Before she could finish speaking, the airport broadcast voice sounded on the phone.
Shelley widened her eyes and said, "Mr. Davis, you... you are at the airport? You... you won't come back, will you?"
"My dear student has been bullied so badly. How can I not come back to help you back up?!"
Hearing this, Shelley was in despair.
Mr. Davis couldn't tolerate the people close to him being bullied, and he was unreasonable. Although he was old, he was more irritable than Shelley's seniors.
If he came back to avenge Shelley, he would make a big scene!
