Chapter 695 He's Here
Lucas stumbled back and plopped onto the couch, his jaw practically hitting the floor. He looked kinda ridiculous, but he was too freaked out to say anything.
Lucas had always thought the worst thing that could happen was the cops showing up. Never in a million years did he think it’d be Adrian, who was way scarier than any cop.
Lucas tried to pull himself together, telling himself to chill. 'Come on. I'm the CEO of Dynamic Entertainment. I've got connections with the Howard Group. I've been busting my butt at Dynamic for two years, raking in billions for them. Adrian wouldn’t can me over some side chick, right? Just a side chick. No big deal. Don’t freak out.'
But Herman didn’t have Lucas’s nerve. Under Adrian’s intense stare, Herman’s legs gave out, and he hit the floor on his knees.
Adrian’s eyes locked onto Herman. "Did you touch Natalie?"
Those eyes were ice-cold with nothing but wrath, and it scared the crap outta Herman.
Herman, shaking like a leaf, stammered, "N-No. I-I didn’t. I swear."
Heather jumped in, "Herman was all over Natalie. If we hadn’t fought back, he would’ve had his way. Thank God you showed up, Mr. Howard."
Adrian noticed Heather’s clothes were a bit messed up, too. He remembered Natalie saying Heather was always good to her. Heather must’ve been fighting to protect Natalie.
Adrian nodded, then looked down at Natalie in his arms, gently wiping the booze off her face. The fierce glimmer in his eyes softened as he gazed at her.
Natalie bit her lip, saying, "Adrian, they messed with me. Herman and Lucas are in on it together. Any new actress at Dynamic, Herman would lure them to his office with some audition excuse. After assaulting them, he’d throw them a bone to keep them quiet, threatening to blacklist them if they spoke up. I never thought Herman would come after me. He tried in the office before, but Heather saved me. It’s been months, and he dares to make another move."
"Did you hear that?" Adrian’s fists clenched. "Brice!"
Brice stepped up, "Got it, Mr. Howard."
It was shocking for Brice, as well, to believe Herman and Lucas would pull this crap. It was beyond messed up.
Adrian’s eyes were like ice. "Dynamic Entertainment needs a full sweep. Get rid of all the scum. Leave no stone unturned."
Adrian couldn’t believe that even with Natalie in his own company, she still got hurt. He was fuming. He set Natalie down and kicked Herman hard. How dare this slimy creep mess with Natalie, who Adrian treasured!
Adrian felt a shiver down his spine, a wave of fear.
If Adrian hadn’t been at the party tonight, if he hadn’t shown up in time, how helpless would Natalie have been?
Herman screamed, clutching his aching gut.
Adrian, still not satisfied, wanted to go at Herman again, but Natalie hugged him tight from behind. Her slender arms wrapped around his waist, calming his rage. Natalie’s voice shook. "I don’t wanna stay here. Let’s go, Adrian, take me away."
Adrian swallowed his anger, bent down, and scooped Natalie into his arms.
