Chapter 170 Curtis Put Himself into Trouble

Reuben was speechless.

Was this the same woman who had just whipped him so harshly?

How could she change her demeanor so quickly?

"Don't be scared," Curtis gently reassured Adeline with a pat on her hand, then turned to Reuben. Curtis spoke coldly as if addressing a lifeless body, "There's no need to be fearful, babe. Taking his life is the solution."

Once again, Reuben was speechless.

Adeline leaned close to Curtis's ear and softly explained what had happened.

Curtis's expression grew grim as he turned to Olivia, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Before Olivia could respond, Victoria shouted, "Curtis, don't pretend to be righteous here. My people told me that just now, Rebecca asked you to choose between saving Adeline or Olivia, and you didn't hesitate to choose Adeline!"

If not for that, Victoria wouldn't have hurriedly gotten the room key and rushed up here.

She didn't expect that something bad would really happen!

Ignoring her mother's attempts to stir trouble, Olivia cast a ruthless glance at Curtis, "Have your people strip him of his shirt and pants, leave him only in his underwear. I want to whip him and return the number of whips that he had given me!"

"Alright!"

As Curtis's command fell, Steffen and Sara immediately stripped Reuben and pinned him to the bed.

With one hand getting support from Adeline's shoulders, Olivia raised the whip with the other and lashed Reuben.

Whip after whip!

She didn't stop until she had inflicted a similar level of harm on Reuben as she had experienced.

Tossing the whip aside, Olivia nearly collapsed. Adeline and Curtis promptly rushed her to the hospital.

At the hospital, the director promptly arranged a resting room for Curtis and ensured Olivia received confidential medical care with the best doctors.

After the director left, only Adeline and Curtis remained on the sofa in the resting room.

Exhausted, Adeline rubbed her temples, and Curtis pulled her into his embrace.

Adeline nestled in the familiar warmth of his embrace and couldn't help but ask after recalling what Victoria had just said, "Did Rebecca really give you the choice between the two of us?"

"Yeah," Curtis didn't hide it.

"And you chose me?" Adeline looked up, and her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Yes," Curtis nodded firmly.

Adeline's heart surged with emotion.

Throughout her life, she had always been the one sacrificed in various situations.

Just like that time during the big fire, her family didn't hesitate to abandon her.

Whenever something good happened, everyone always thought of Viola first.

Yet, without hesitation, Curtis had chosen her over Olivia, and that moved her deeply.

Adeline clasped her arms around Curtis's neck and couldn't resist leaning in for a kiss. Her lips curved sweetly as she asked, "But why?"

"No explanation is necessary. You're the most important person in my life. You are my wife, and I must save you."

"But Olivia is your niece," Adeline teased with a sly grin.

"But she's just my niece!" Curtis looked at Adeline with determination.

Adeline's heart danced with joy, but there was still a hint of surprise on her face. "So, if it were me and your second brother in trouble, whom would you save?"

Curtis replied without any hesitation, "Definitely you!"

Adeline's lips curled up again, and her voice turned even more playful. "Are you sure you're not lying?"

"I'm not."

"Then, between me and your elder brother, whom would you choose?"

"You, you!" Curtis playfully bit her, "I'd choose you every time!"

Curtis could tell that Adeline was in a great mood.

But he didn't understand why she was so happy.

Wasn't saving his own wife a clear-cut action?

Curtis couldn't help but flick Adeline's nose, "But Adeline, please don't ask me what I would do if you and my mom fell into the water together."

Adeline blinked her eyes and her mischievous smile deepened.

"Well, let's suppose neither of us can swim, we both fall into the water at the same time, and you don't have a lifebuoy or anyone else to help. Who would you save, huh?"

Curtis was speechless.

Could the scenario be any more detailed?
