Adela watched as Mia and her group disappeared around the staircase corner, then asked quietly, “You know, a simple apology could’ve solved that. Why didn’t you say anything?”

Cici also turned to look at Robbie, clearly curious.

Robbie shrugged. “Adela, my energy is limited. As a professional bodyguard, my only responsibility is to protect my employer. The rest doesn’t concern me.”

Adela stared at him, speechless. “I never agreed to make you my bodyguard.”

He grinned. “Think of it as me trying to win points with your boyfriend. Or call it flattery if you like. Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter. Frankly, I should be thanking Mr. Norman for having such a lovely girlfriend—gives me someone to curry favor with.”

Even Cici rolled her eyes. She had never seen a man so shameless.

Adela could only ignore him.

Her legs were sore from standing, so she sat down, glancing around the room with bored eyes. She spotted Zach lifting his wine glass toward her in a silent toast. She gave him a sm

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   342 The Land Was Snatched

    Adela wasn’t the bravest person—anytime she was startled or stressed, she wouldn’t sleep well. After the car accident last time, it had taken her over a week of rest before her sleep returned to normal.Tonight, they were already past her usual bedtime. The room was dark and quiet, and Layson Norman's eyes were unreadable, blending into the shadows.“It’s not that I was scared,” she muttered, her head resting lightly on the man’s chest, letting out a soft sigh. “He was more annoying than frightening.”“Just because I slapped his girlfriend, he’s so biased against me?”Adela pouted. She genuinely felt wronged. “That woman even kidnapped Cici. Why isn’t he mentioning that?”Hearing her soft complaints, Layson frowned slightly in confusion. “You care about his opinion that much?”She paused for a moment, then curled her lip. “If I cared so much about what people thought, I wouldn’t have survived this long.”She didn’t even want to mention the rumors from six years ago. If she had cared b

    Adela’s calm and assertive tone was too composed, even Bard’s friend started doubting. He turned to Bard and asked, “Did you actually investigate this properly?”Bard sneered coldly. “Why would I need to investigate? Susan told me herself.”Everyone gave Bard a blank stare, the words “brainless fool” practically flashing above his head.How ridiculous did one have to be to accuse someone based solely on one sentence from Susan?Even Bard’s own friend found it unreliable and tugged on his sleeve, whispering, “Better send someone to check the facts. If she really did it, we’ll make her pay for every bit.”Because it was his buddy, Bard didn’t embarrass him on the spot. But when he turned back to look at Adela, his eyes were laced with venom.He growled with hatred in his voice, “I, Bard Campell , don’t let things slide. No matter how well you act, this is personal now—and I’ll definitely get my revenge.”The moment his words dropped, the air turned icy cold.Then came a man’s voice—calm

    The scene escalated so quickly that Mia's group of friends didn’t even have time to react. The sound of glass shattering echoed through the hall, magnified by the space.Concerned about injuries, waitstaff immediately rushed to clean up.Standing beside the unfamiliar woman, Robbie glanced at Adela, seemingly checking if she was alright. His voice was low and steady, “Step back a bit. Watch out for the glass.”His calm tone snapped everyone in the corner back to reality.Adela softly replied “Okay,” and took a step back, still feeling a little shaken. Only after her arm brushed against Cici’s did she let out a breath and turn her gaze back to the woman, whose sweat dripped uncontrollably.After a brief hesitation, Adela asked, “She looks like she’s in pain. Is she okay?”Robbie let out a cold laugh. “Adela, open your eyes. If I hadn’t pulled her back, you’d be visiting a plastic surgeon tonight.”He’d only dislocated her arm. Consider it a gentle warning.Cici whispered, “He’s telling

    As soon as Mia spoke, Adela couldn’t help but internally snark: There was a crash, alright—just not with him, but with his brother, and it was Cici’s car that got hit.She glanced sideways at Cici, whose face was growing visibly paler. Adela sighed inwardly.Robbie, lounging lazily against the back of the couch, looked amused. “What, did you come to the racetrack today just to see me?”Adela blinked and looked at Mia. Her expression didn’t even shift—just a faint frown, as if she didn’t take his words seriously at all. She scoffed coldly, “That’s a joke. You think me showing up at a banquet is for you? Face is a good thing, Robbie—you should keep some for yourself.”That line had the girls with Mia glancing back and forth in confusion and surprise. It was their first time seeing this proud heiress gritting her teeth while speaking to a man.Robbie’s aura was so cold and intense that the girls didn’t dare look at him for more than a second before their hearts started pounding. One girl

    Adela froze for a second when she saw Cici rush over with a pale face. Her hand was ice-cold, and Adela immediately frowned. “What happened to you? You’re still shaking.”Cici, ever the lady, uncharacteristically cursed out loud, then deadpanned, “For a moment, I thought I was going to die. I even had my final words ready.”Robbie, hearing the word "final words," let out an amused chuckle. “I give a pretty girl a lift out of kindness, and this is the thanks I get?”Cici didn’t even look at him. She walked alongside Adela, already teetering on the edge of rage. Robbie casually trailed a few steps behind, hands in his pockets, as carefree as ever.The four of them arrived at the entrance where they came face-to-face with Dexter and Andrew. The six of them created an invisible wall of tension between their group and everyone else.Nearby girls glanced over in stunned silence. No one dared to speak, as if any sound would shatter the strange atmosphere.It was obvious—they weren’t from the
