Chapter 479
Adrian Sinclair raised his hand in signal.
Noah Watson quickly stepped forward.
"Mr. Sinclair, your instructions."
"Call the police."
"Continue until I am satisfied."
Adrian shot a cold glance at the troublemaker.
The air around him dropped sharply.
A chilling cold pierced through.
Noah scanned the woman.
He shook his head inwardly.
Of all the things to do.
She chose to seek her own destruction.
She truly reaped what she sowed.
"No! That's not what happened!"
The woman finally panicked.
She still wanted to argue.
But he gave her no more chances.
Anna Ross hadn't regained her senses.
When he pulled her by the hand.
The wind whistled past her ears.
All she heard was their hurried footsteps.
Along the way.
Adrian made a call.
He asked Noah to bring a change of clothes.
She looked down at herself.
It wasn't too bad.
A quick wipe would suffice.
"No need for new clothes."
"I can handle it when I get back."
The winter wind was biting outside.
But it was relatively warm indoors.
Adrian ignored her words.
He pulled her straight toward his office.
Not far away.
Chloe Valentine rushed over.
She saw their clasped hands.
And froze instantly on the spot.
"Adrian!"
"Where are you going!?"
The distance wasn't great.
But Adrian acted as if he hadn't heard.
He didn't look back.
He continued pulling her forward.
Anna wanted to remind him.
But he swiftly guided her into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed.
Sealing them inside.
In the confined space.
Only their mingled breaths remained.
After a long silence.
He spoke in a low voice.
"Why did you step in front of me earlier?"
"She was aiming for me."
Anna looked into the mirror.
She saw her own disheveled reflection.
She bit her lip.
Her voice was light.
"No particular reason."
"I just didn't want to see that kind of scene."
She didn't know why either.
It was just instinct not to let him be publicly humiliated.
Adrian studied her for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the past.
She had also protected him without regard for herself back then.
She couldn't bear to see him suffer the slightest grievance.
In those days, she often said.
He was the most important person.
Besides her mother.
He had been deeply moved then.
He secretly vowed to treat her well for a lifetime.
And never let her down.
Adrian's eyes darkened slightly.
He concealed his thoughts.
He said softly.
"Don't do that again next time."
Anna looked up at him.
She didn't respond.
They reached the office.
Adrian fetched a towel.
He was about to help her dry her hair.
But she turned away to avoid him.
He examined her face.
His hand hung in midair.
Anna blinked.
Her tone was calm.
"I can do it myself."
"No need to trouble you."
She must have been insane.
To let him do such a thing.
Adrian paused.
He actually withdrew his hand.
He handed her the towel.
"Can you see well enough on your own?"
Anna was somewhat surprised.
She took the towel.
"I can manage."
"Thank you."
She walked to the window.
She undid her hair.
And gently dried it with the towel.
Adrian sat on the sofa.
He quietly watched her back.
He watched for a long time.
