Chapter 210: I’ve got you

"I don’t know why sis called us here. Maybe she has another surprise for Mom and Dad? I can’t wait to know what it might be..."

Following Esther’s voice, the door began to open. Adrian’s voice sliced through the air like a blade.

"Seal it down."

In a heartbeat, half a dozen men in black swarmed the hallway, as if conjured from shadow. Suits pressed, their movements were synchronized and ruthless. One stepped forward and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Esther, the family members and the guests who had followed them over to take a look at ’Ella’s another present for her parents’ were all startled. The place descended into chaos.

Startled gasps erupted.

"W-What’s going on?"

"Who are these people?"

"Hey—!"

Esther was about to calm them down when suddenly, her gaze landed on the person following the group of men. Ji Yan.

If Ji Yan was here, then was Adrian here too? Instinctively, she looked around but Adrian was nowhere in sight.

How could it be? How could Adrian enter this place, unnoticed by everyone?

Despite the self-comforting thoughts, she backed off when Ji Yan stepped past her, her eyes going wide.

Before anyone could utter another word, the door swung open again with thunderous command.

Adrian stepped out, his shirt stained in blood and his face unreadable. In his arms, he held Ella whose body seemed to have gone limp like a doll.

Silence rippled through the corridor like a tidal wave.

Several guests took a step back as he stepped past them. And as his aura enveloped the huge space, nobody dared to breathe loudly.

Most people didn’t recognize him.

But the ones who did—

They gasped in astonishment. Someone whispered, stunned:

"Isn’t that... A-Adrian King?"

"It’s him. The heir of the King family?"

"Are you sure?"

"I cannot be mistaken about this. I have seen him once from a distance yet I will never forget that face..."

"God! He’s carrying the First Miss of Yu Family?"

The Yu couple stood rooted at the far end of the hall, pale as ghosts.

Mrs. Yu’s hand clutched her chest. Mr. Yu’s jaw clenched tight, his voice caught somewhere between shock and dread.

Jenny stepped besides Dean Mo, looking at the scene in disbelief before she eventually turned to glance at Esther.

However, Esther was in no space to pay attention to her. Instead, she blinked rapidly, trying to grasp what she was seeing. Why... Why did Adrian carry Ella out?

Trembling, she glanced towards the room but her view of the inside was blocked by the row of men who had sealed the place down as they stood outside, forming a barrier.

Esther staggered a few steps back only to be caught by Mo Jun, "She doesn’t seem fine."

Hearing the concern for Ella in Mo Jun’s voice, Esther froze, a sickening feeling twirling in his stomach, "You... After seeing her today, you suddenly seem to care about her a lot."
