Chapter 361

"Her sleeves are filthy. How could she possibly be allowed to touch your crystal shoes?"Francesco's tone was calm and indifferent, but it struck like a bucket of ice water poured over Adriana's head. A chill ran through her entire body.The anger in Suzie immediately dissipated. She smiled sweetly instead. "You're right. Good thing you reminded me. Otherwise, my crystal shoes would've been stained.""There are some ladies looking for you over there. Go on.""Alright. I'll come find you later for a dance."Suzie shot a sharp glare at Adriana, then lifted her chin and walked away in her high heels, every step proud and composed.Only then did Francesco look at Adriana.Her disheveled state made his mood sink for no clear reason."I already warned you. Don't come near me.""I don't believe you would abandon me." Adriana's voice was stubborn.Francesco let out a cold laugh. "Back then, I didn't believe you would abandon me either. And yet, you still married Chris."Adriana froz

Chapter 362

Adriana's cries for help received no response.The balding man carried Adriana into the elevator and dropped her roughly onto the floor.Her lower back slammed against the metal wall of the elevator car. Pain shot through her, and she gritted her teeth.She scrambled up and pressed the buttons, trying to escape.But her strength was too weak. The man grabbed her again and slammed her back inside.In the banquet hall, Francesco faintly heard someone calling his name. He lifted his eyes toward the sound, but saw nothing.Something clicked in his mind. He strode quickly through the crowd, scanning every direction.He searched the entire hall, but there was no sign of the woman who always clung to him relentlessly.He called over the banquet manager and asked a few sharp questions.The manager hurried out, then returned quickly and whispered something into Francesco's ear.His expression changed slightly.He immediately dialed Mars."Where is Adriana?""She's in the banquet ha

Chapter 363

Francesco's tone was utterly indifferent.The emotions Adriana had been suppressing since her earlier fright exploded in an instant. She slid down the wall and crouched on the floor, letting out a muffled, broken sob.She hadn't cried when Suzie humiliated her. She hadn't cried when the bald man had frightened her either.But the moment she heard Francesco say that, she could no longer hold it in.All the grievance and fear she had accumulated over days surged up like a tidal wave, shattering her completely.Hearing her crying, Francesco flicked his cigarette to the ground and crushed it out with force."What are you, a piece of stubborn chewing gum? Adriana."She couldn't speak. She only cried harder.Her Francesco would never treat her like this. The man standing in front of her… he could not be her Francesco.But if he wasn't Francesco, then who was he?At that thought, her tears only worsened.Francesco's brows knit tightly together. He paced the room with his hands on h

Chapter 364

Mars cleared his throat twice."Miss Adler, if you're planning to beat up my boss, you might need to train a little longer."Adriana blinked. She had learned boxing and jujitsu purely for self-defense—she had never actually intended to hit Francesco. Still, Mars had just given her a new idea. When Francesco became too infuriating… maybe a punch wasn't entirely out of the question."If I hit him, would the Este family throw me into the sea to feed the fish?" she asked.Mars laughed heartily. "That's exactly why I wouldn't recommend you acting on impulse."Adriana shrugged. "Right now, I can't even see his face. I don't even have the chance to seek death."Mars looked at her dejected expression and felt a twinge of pity.She and Francesco had gone through so much. They had finally reconciled, just when happiness seemed within reach—only to be separated again. It was almost cruel to watch."Mars, you know the Este family better than I do. Can you help me?" Adriana asked softly.S

Chapter 365

Mars continued, "Madam Isabel already knows about this. She said you can come—but…"He trailed off.Adriana's nerves tightened. "But what?""But only as a maid. Bianca's maid."Adriana let out a small breath of relief. "That's fine. Bianca won't bully me anyway.""Miss Adler," Mars said carefully, "Bianca isn't exactly capable of protecting you either. Are you sure?"Adriana nodded without hesitation. "I'm sure. If I don't go, staying in Mitaly would mean nothing."Admiration flickered in Mars's eyes. "Miss Adler, you're very brave."Adriana gave a faint smile. "He once did many things for me. If I just give up without doing anything in return, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."In this life, people ultimately only seek peace of conscience."Alright, let's go."Mars drove into the Ester estate. Bianca was the first to jump out."Adriana, hurry up! I'll take you to see your room!"Mars handed her suitcase over. "Miss Adler, this is as far as I can take you. Call me if

"Sorry, I'll clean it up right away."Adriana knelt on the floor and picked up the shards of glass piece by piece. In her haste, she accidentally cut her hand, but she bit back the pain and said nothing. After gathering all the fragments, she threw them into the trash bin.She rinsed her hands under the tap, pressed a tissue against the wound, and then continued serving Bianca's meal.Isabel looked at her daughter with a flicker of disgust in her eyes. "Stop daydreaming and finish everything. Seeing your foolish face irritates me."Bianca, frightened into silence, hurriedly stuffed large bites of salad into her mouth.Adriana took her fork gently. "Slow down. There's no rush."Bianca had stuffed too much into her mouth and suddenly gagged. She quickly covered her mouth with both hands, terrified of spitting the food out.Adriana held up a napkin for her. "If you need to vomit, do it. Don't choke."Bianca looked toward her mother, too scared to move.Francesco spoke calmly. "If

Bianca, however, seemed to see through her situation."Did they bully you?" she asked. "When Cesco isn't home, they don't even give me food either."Her eyes darted around."Wait here."Without another word, she slipped out of the room, sneaked downstairs, and tiptoed toward the kitchen.Francesco noticed her sneaking figure and stepped in front of her."Where's Adriana?" he asked. "The kitchen is dangerous. You're not allowed in.""I'm not full. I wanted to see if there's anything to eat."Francesco lowered his gaze to her round little belly and said indifferently, "Go back to your room. I'll have the servants send food up.""Thank you, Cesco. Don't tell Mother, okay?"Francesco watched as Bianca happily ran upstairs, then irritably loosened his tie.He called the butler over. "Send food to Bianca. Also, remind the servants to follow the rules. If what happened this morning happens again, they're all dismissed."The butler responded and crossed the lawn toward the servants

Chapter 368

Alone, Adriana made her way into the forest and met Mars, along with her boxing coach and jiu-jitsu instructor."Can I keep training boxing and jiu-jitsu?" she asked, pleasantly surprised."Of course. The boss's private gym is just nearby.""He wouldn't allow me to go there, would he?" she asked, uneasy."He only goes there once a week. We'll avoid him. Don't worry, I know this place well.""Thank you, Mars."Far from home, she was deeply grateful for his care."I can't leave you here on your own. A little self-defense might come in handy."It really might. She had already decided—if she ever confirmed that Francesco was truly deceiving her, she would land him a solid punch and then return to Heatherton City without looking back.From then on, Mars brought the two coaches four times a week.Since it was during lunch hours, she usually had time, which made training convenient.There was also one day she practiced alone, which she treated as rare time to herself.Whether she

Chapter 369

Adriana was squeezed into a tight corner of the car. If not for the sturdy door, she half feared she might be forced straight out of the vehicle.Two hours later, they arrived at an estate.Dozens of luxury cars were parked outside, and groups of men and women stood chatting and laughing.After getting out, she went to retrieve her suitcase. "Mars, are all these guests here for the gathering?""Yes. About a dozen heirs and heiresses will be staying at the estate. There are quite a few servants coming as well, so you'll have to share rooms with others. I hope you don't mind.""It's fine," she said with a bitter smile. "But you'll need to show me the way first. The others probably won't bother to talk to me anyway."Francesco tugged at his tie. "Let her stay with Bianca. It'll be easier to take care of her that way."Bianca clapped happily. "Great! I'm afraid of sleeping alone.""Miss Adler, I'll take your luggage upstairs first. For the next few days, just stay with Miss Bianca.

Chapter 370

The crowd exchanged uneasy glances. None of them had expected the foreign woman who had seemed so docile to actually push back.Francesco let out a cold chuckle. "I don't care. Do as you please."It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over Adriana's head—coldness seeped into her bones, freezing her blood.Suzie covered her mouth and laughed. "Did you hear that? Cesco treats you like a toy dog."She took a glass from a servant and shoved it into Adriana's hands."Drink this. Otherwise, I'll tell Isabel and have you thrown out of the estate."Her hands trembling, Adriana took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.She swallowed too quickly and immediately began coughing. Before she could recover, another glass was already pushed toward her."Drink."Francesco remained completely indifferent, as if she were nothing more than a stranger.Or more accurately, less than a stranger. If it had been a stranger being bullied, he might have stepped in out of basic decency. B
