Bab 167: Evil Child (1)

Adrienne knew she could not avoid her father after Elise's mishap during Marion Gu's party. He would surely side with his daughter with his mistress. It had always been like this, even in the past, and Adrienne didn't doubt it would remain the same. 

She had already returned to her estate just before her brother returned from the barracks. When Hunter found out what happened during his absence from Lennox, he was livid! 

Adrienne had never seen her brother so furious before. His face turned red, and his voice boomed throughout the entire room as he demanded an explanation from her. Adrienne relayed everything in fear of the repercussions, hoping her brother would comprehend and refrain from losing his mind in his rage.
