Julianna exclaimed in surprise, “Adrien? You were shot. Why are you not recuperating in the hospital,as you should be?”Julianna exclaimed in surprise, “Adrien? You were shot. Why are you not recuperating in the hospital,as you should be?”
Adrien said angrily, “If my bodyguard hadn’t told me, I would still be in the dark. Who gave youpermission to bully Emmeline and the children?”
Julianna explained, “Son, don’t be a fool. I’m doing this for your sake. I’ll get those children back for youright now!”
“I wouldn’t do something like that! Why should I take those kids away from Emmeline, who wentthrough so much to raise them?”
Julianna roared, “Have you lost your mind? They’re your children!”
Adrien pushed his mother away and stood in front of Emmeline, saying, “They are also Emma’schildren. Anyway, I won’t allow anyone to bully them, not even you!”
Adrien’s unexpected arrival caught Emmeline off guard. He even confronted his mother to defend herand the kids. Her heart raced as she noticed how masculine and righteous his demeanor seemed.
“Emma, don’t be afraid.”
Adrien wrapped his uninjured arm around Emmeline and said, “I’ll look out for you and the kids. Iwouldn’t let anyone bully you, not even my own mother!”
Julianna roared in rage, “Adrien, what has gotten into you today?”
For the first time, Julianna noticed her son taking himself very seriously, like a proper man. She was notused to it. She was used to her son listening to her.
“Adrien, you can have the kids, but not this woman. Granddad is right. Emmeline is a femme fatale whowould cause disaster. Look at how she’s getting you and Abel into trouble. Especially Abel, who lost300 million and is still unsure how to make it up. His position as CEO is at stake!”
Adrien said, “Abel did it to save Emma. Even though I don’t have much money, I can still come up withbetween 70 and 80 million dollars in cash. I’ll support Abel.”
“Abel is a foe of yours. You and your older brother are at odds with him. How can you be confused?How can you help him?”
Adrien said, “I know what I’m doing. Abel is my enemy, and he fights with me to get my woman, but healso saved Emma, so he’s my benefactor.”
“You’re driving me crazy!”
Julianna stamped her foot in a fit of rage. Her useless son had suddenly become capable, but hepicked her as his first target!novelbin
Emmeline was half lying in Adrien’s arms. She was taken aback by what she heard.
Adrien had earned everyone’s respect. Was this man the same playboy who used to fool around withwomen?
The glass door was pushed open, and Benjamin rushed in with several bodyguards. His men hadtaken down Julianna’s bodyguards in less than a second.
Sam was able to free herself as well. She engaged in a one-on-two battle, and although she did not getthe upper hand, she managed to tie in with her adversaries. She was unable to assist Emmeline, but
once she managed to free herself, she kicked Adrien in a fury.
At the same time, Sam yelled, “Let go of Ms. Louise!”
She had been giving the fight with the bodyguards her full attention at first. Adrien’s comment wentunnoticed by her. Sam was infuriated when she saw Adrian annoyingly embrace Emmeline.

Ben casually waved his hand and moved aside to deflect Sam’s powerful kick.
Sam chided angrily, “Mr. Benjamin, why are you stopping me from attacking this scoundrel?”
“Things have changed,” Benjamin explained.
He had heard Adrien’s earlier reprimand of Julianna and promised to protect Emmeline. Benjamin hadthe sudden impression that this playboy who sat around all day might not be all bad.
Julianna’s expression darkened due to her intense rage. She said to convince her son, “Adrien, yousaw it yourself. Emmeline has hooked up with Abel and Mr. Benjamin from Adelmar Group. How onearth could you defend such a woman?”
Adrien refuted, “This is my business. Please don’t meddle in my affairs. Just go!”
“Adrien!”
Adrien waved his hand impatiently and said, “Please go! You should go now. If there is anything else,we can discuss it at home.”
“Hmph!” Julianna glared at Emmeline and stormed off in a rage.
Julianna was quickly followed by Yvonne and the two stumbling bodyguards.
Daisy had come back at this point. She noticed the mess and Adrien’s presence next to Emmeline assoon as she walked into the cafe. Daisy charged forward and gave Adrien a hard slap across the facewithout saying a word.
