Chapter 17: Stay away from this kind of woman

When Alice answered the phone, she was met with Adam's fierce and menacing gaze.

Her breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and her inner nervousness and fear overwhelmed her body.

She repeated to herself over and over again, "I can't let Adam find out about the child! I can't!"

"Hello, Alice? Why did you hang up earlier?" Aunt Charlotte asked curiously.

Adam seemed dissatisfied with the unfamiliar woman's voice and gestured with his black eyes to speak.

"I...I'm fine. I was just about to go back. I called to tell you that I won't be able to pay you back the money right away..." Alice struggled to speak through her trembling voice.

"You silly child, the money doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you're not coming back. My health is getting worse every day," Aunt Charlotte replied.

Alice was slightly surprised by Aunt Charlotte's acting skills, but before she could finish her sentence, Adam ended the call.

"Get rid of that idea right now!" he said as if her life and death hadnothing to do with him.

Alice pursed her lips and said, "She's an aunt who took care of me when I was abroad. She..."

"Let's go!" Adam interrupted her, showing no interest in her affairs, and ordered her to follow him as he turned and walked away.

"I need to change my clothes..."

"No need."

Alice thought, should I wear a nurse uniform to go?

She arrived at a high-end club.

From the parked cars at the entrance, all worth over a million, it was clear that the consumption level inside the club was high. Girls like Alice didn't even have the qualifications to enter.

Following behind Adam, she felt a sense of false bravado.

The door to the private room opened and Alice walked in.

Inside, there was only Ethan, accompanied by a seductive woman.

The extra woman immediately tried to get close to Adam when she saw him, but was scared away by his cold gaze.

When Ethan saw who had come in, especially Alice in her work uniform, he pushed the woman beside him aside and stood up, "Alice, are you here to see me?"

Adam's sharp black eyes noticed Ethan's actions, but he remained silent.

Ethan realized something was wrong. How did Alice know he was here? And why was she with Adam?

Adam sat down and suddenly grabbed Alice's wrist, pulling her towards him forcefully.

"Ah!" Alice was startled and bumped into his strong chest. She sat down beside him, her heart pounding in fear.

"Ethan!" Ethan wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Adam's cold gaze.

"Ethan, stay away from women like her, or you'll end up in a terrible situation." Adam's dark eyes were filled with coldness. He lifted Alice's chin and asked, "Am I right?"

Alice's breathing was trembling, and her clear eyes were enduring humiliation.

Ethan's face was tense as he looked at Alice, who was restrained and unable to move.

Could he not see it now?It was highly possible that Adam had already set his sights on Alice before he met her!

"Speak!" Adam was impatient.

"You're right," Alice said with a trembling voice.

"Ethan, don't interfere in my affairs!" Adam's voice was cold.

One moment they were drinking together, and the next moment Adam's mood changed drastically, making him unpredictable and terrifying!

Ethan's face didn't look good.

"Since you're short of men, I've found one for you. Your client likes something special, so dress up like this and serve him. Will Big Brother treat you well?" Adam's devilish words echoed.

Alice's face turned pale, her body trembling, and she looked at him in disbelief. "Don't... don't do this. I'll listen to you from now on."

"Going against my will, this is your fate!" Adam's black eyes were fierce.

Alice knew what he meant, because she had contact with Ethan, but it wasn't voluntary. However, she couldn't push the blame onto Ethan!

"Take her to Mr. Zhu's room!" Adam ordered.The bodyguard standing by the door walked over.

Alice was trembling with fear. Ethan wanted to come over to stop it, but he was stopped by another bodyguard and couldn't get through.

The bodyguard grabbed Alice's arm.

"Ah, don't touch me, I won't go..." Alice was extremely scared, and in a panic, she kicked the bodyguard's knee with force.

The bodyguard didn't expect her to kick, and was kicked without any defense. His hand loosened.

Alice's body hit Adam's arm due to inertia!

Adam was holding a glass of wine in his hand, and the liquid spilled out all at once, wetting his slender and powerful fingers, dripping down.

The atmosphere in the private room froze instantly, and the temperature dropped to freezing point.

Alice was so scared that her voice trembled, "I...I'll help you wipe it!" She hurriedly took the towel from the coffee table to wipe Adam's hand.

However, his hand avoided her.

Alice looked puzzled and frightened.Then she heard Adam's cold voice, "Lick it clean!"

"What...what?" Alice was stunned.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Adam's voice was even colder, intimidating.

"Brother! Why are you humiliating her like this? Isn't what happened before enough?" Ethan couldn't contain his anger and pushed the bodyguard away, ready to save Alice.

Adam's bodyguard was no pushover, he was a professional!

As Ethan swung his fist, the bodyguard stepped back and swept his leg.

Ethan quickly dodged, throwing his fist towards the bodyguard's face.

The bodyguard leaned his head to the side, avoiding the punch, and punched Ethan in the stomach with his iron fist.

"Ugh!" Ethan groaned, taking several steps back, his stomach churning as he struggled to suppress the discomfort, his face turning pale.

Alice saw what happened and anxiously said, "Ethan, it's not your business! Don't worry about me!"

"I'm fine..." Ethan's voice was hoarse with pain."You can go now!" Alice looked away, touching Adam's hand that was still dripping with liquid, shivering all over. Then she closed her eyes and pressed her lips to the back of his hand, which was covered in veins.

"Alice..." Ethan was stunned, watching her kneel on the ground and clean Adam's hand in that way.

"Be careful." The commanding voice from above was stern but not angry.

Alice held back her tears and abandoned her dignity and everything else to focus on cleaning Adam's hands.

From the back of his hand to his fingertips.

Adam's deep black eyes looked cold and ruthless, like he was looking down on a kneeling ant.

Just as he was humiliating Alice with an attitude of control, his fingers suddenly trembled. Adam's muscles tensed subconsciously, like a wild beast threatened with danger!

Alice was startled and retreated, not knowing what she had done wrong, staring at Adam motionlessly.

Before she could react, her jaw tightened as she was suddenly grabbed. "Mmm!""Indeed, there are some things that don't need to be taught by others." Adam's voice was full of malice, and he ordered, "Take her away!"

The bodyguard stepped forward and pulled Alice's arm, and she forgot to resist.

Perhaps she understood that even if she resisted, it would be futile.

"Alice!" Ethan wanted to step forward to save her, but was stopped by another bodyguard.

He watched helplessly as Alice was taken away and the door to the private room closed automatically.

Adam wiped his fingers with a towel, cold as frost, unmoved.

Ethan approached him. "Brother, let her go! What did she do wrong for you to treat her like this? It was the same before, and it's the same now! Even if Bella did something crazy, she's just her aunt, not her real mother. Why take it out on her? I really don't understand!"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Adam's cold voice and sharp black eyes pierced straight into the heart.
