Chapter 1427 Things That Should Not Have Happened
Adrian had just woken up when he sensed something was off.
Andrea was looking at him with a pitiful expression.
The man raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Seeing Andrea wrapped in a blanket, looking like she'd been terribly wronged.
He pressed his lips together, his expression serious.
Andrea sobbed quietly, "Adrian..."
Adrian's eyes were deep and dark, showing no emotion. He just stared at Andrea quietly. Under his gaze, Andrea felt a chill run down her spine. She forced herself to stay calm, "Adrian, I know you were drunk, and so was I. We... we did something we shouldn't have done."
The man repeated her words, "Something we shouldn't have done?"
Andrea nodded, feeling extremely guilty inside.
Her eyes looked timidly at Adrian.
...
The Howard Manor.
At midnight, the living room was brightly lit.
Natalie, Andrea, and Adrian stood in the living room, while several elders sat on the sofas.
The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.
Ruben's face was dark. He suddenly swung his cane and struck it straight at Adrian.
Adrian didn't dodge and took the hit.
Claire wanted to plead for him, looking at Joe, but Joe refused. What happened at tonight's dinner was too outrageous. And today was the engagement party of Mayor Vachilit's daughter Juno and Sean.
Dozens of media outlets were present.
Plus all those high society people and guests witnessed it.
The Howard family had caused such a huge scandal.
No amount of PR could suppress the public opinion.
Adrian and Andrea from the Howard family, disheveled and embracing each other.
Natalie lying on a sofa with a handsome stranger.
It was truly unbelievable!
Natalie knelt on the carpet, "Grandpa, I know no explanation will work now. But I really didn't do anything with Donny. I was set up. Someone drugged the water I drank. I passed out right away, and when I opened my eyes, this is what I saw."
As she spoke, she looked up at Andrea.
Her fingers clenched tight. She used to think of Andrea as just a spoiled pursuer who liked Adrian, but now it seemed Andrea's methods were truly vicious.
Out of respect for the Howard family and Jamie, she had been merciful and let Andrea off several times.
Andrea cried, "I don't know what happened either. I just took a sip of wine and passed out. When I opened my eyes, I found myself with Adrian. Adrian was holding me and kissing my lips. I... I thought I was dreaming because I was drunk."
Ruben's blood pressure shot up in anger. He looked at Adrian, "What do you have to say?"
Jeffery quickly brought over medicine for him to take.
Adrian's eyes were dim, "I wasn't drunk." But when he opened his eyes, he was in the lounge with Andrea crying and looking at him. He didn't know what had happened either, but Adrian was certain of one thing - he wasn't drunk.
How could one glass of champagne make him drunk?
There was something wrong with the champagne.
He glanced at Natalie.
He reached out and held Natalie's hand.
This was a conspiracy targeting them.
How could it be such a coincidence that both Natalie and he were separately set up?
Natalie felt the warmth in her palm as the man gripped her hand tightly. Her fingertips were ice cold, but the man's warmth and strength flowed into her. Natalie turned her head to look at Adrian. The man squeezed her hand even harder, and Natalie squeezed back.
