Chapter 166 Only One Could Be Saved
As Steffen finished speaking, Sara rushed over and informed Curtis with a serious look on her face.
"Bad news, Mr. Riley. Miss Riley is likely in trouble too. We're short on manpower here. Should we split..."
Her words were cut off as Curtis intervened.
"Put every ounce of effort into locating my wife! I won't tolerate any harm coming to her, and I mean that!"
Curtis's stern gaze pierced through Sara, "Did you do what I asked?"
His tone carried a hint of blame for her getting distracted.
Sara's heart sank, and she quickly reported, "We've apprehended Rebecca. I had attached a tracker to her earlier, and she's been skulking around the hotel, monitoring the situation inside." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Take me there."
Sara led the way, and Curtis strode toward the private room.
Seeing Curtis in his black coat and walking on his own, a mix of surprise and delight swept across Rebecca's face.
"Hey Curtis, your legs are fine! I knew you wouldn't..."
Before she could finish, Curtis immediately grabbed her neck, and his eyes were filled with intense hostility.
"Where's Adeline?"
Rebecca's neck was tightened by Curtis's grip, and she struggled to breathe, causing her face turn red. "You're choking me for that slut?"
Upon hearing the word 'slut', Curtis's grip tightened even more. Veins protruded on his fair hand, and his eyes became bloodshot, as if he had no mercy left in him.
Rebecca's face turned red as she gasped for air, and her eyes bulged as she suffered to speak.
Steffen, alarmed by the situation, quickly tried to pull Curtis's wrist away but failed.
"Mr. Riley!" Steffen anxiously called out, "You're going to kill her!"
Curtis didn't care about Steffen's words one bit and continued to apply pressure on Rebecca.
"Mr. Riley! The most important thing right now is to save Mrs. Riley! If you kill her, it'll be hard for us to find..."
Before Steffen could finish, Curtis regained his senses and released Rebecca.
Rebecca slumped to the side and desperately gasped for air, like a fish stranded on the beach. She was unable to speak for a long while.
"Tell me, one last time, where's Adeline?" Curtis's eyes darkened with a menacing intensity.
Rebecca smiled, causing pain in her chest.
She hated Adeline.
It was Adeline who made Curtis want to kill her.
"Hahaha!" Rebecca's red lips curled into a maniacal grin as she laughed. "Curtis, you're mine! In the entire Prodiff, I'm the only one who truly understands you. I even foresaw that you'd use the General for the search. So, give up on finding that slut! The General won't locate her."
With a sharp 'smack', Sara stepped forward and slapped Rebecca across the face.
"Mr. Riley can't hit women, so I'll do it for him!"
Rebecca's cheek instantly turned red and began bleeding.
She shook her disheveled hair and still smiled provocatively.
"Well, let's take a guess, shall we? What do you think Adeline is going through right now? Curtis, I'm the one who knows you better than anyone else in this world. You're a bit of a clean freak and hate others touching your things. But what if Adeline has been with a dozen guys? Hahaha... I might even film a little something and send it your way. I doubt you'd be able to, you know, get it up when you see her again in this lifetime. Hahaha... Just looking at her face might bring back memories of those scenes."
'Smack'! Sara delivered another sharp slap, sending Rebecca reeling.
But like an indestructible cockroach, Rebecca sat up again with a smile on her face.
Curtis stepped forward and grabbed Rebecca's neck. His gaze was piercing like a knife, "I'll ask one last time, where's Adeline? Don't make me ask a second time!"
As his words landed, Rebecca seemed to recall the fear of imminent death from moments ago and stammered, "Fine, I'll tell you!"
Curtis released her neck, and his eyes fixed on her intensely.
Rebecca's grin turned wicked as she said, "Well, I'll give you a multiple-choice question. I can offer you a hint, but you can only save either Olivia or that slut. Who's your choice, huh?"
