Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Drip of Not Blood, But Ink

“Always give her a glimpse of hope, and when she feels that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, snuff it out. Then, somewhere else, show her a hint of light again.” Adrian Zhekova’s eyes slightly lifted at the corner.

The cold glint in his eyes was like the tip of a blade, making everyone present shiver.

Adrian Zhekova’s heart was so dark!

This was like cutting flesh with a soft blade, torturing a person to death!

It was like tying a radish in front of a donkey, making it chase after the unattainable goal.

The donkey always sees food in front of it and keeps chasing after it, but it can never reach it.

Although the donkey wouldn’t die, Wendy Clarke would.

But the process was more or less the same.

Although harming Wendy Clarke was a small matter.

No one present would care about a nobody like her.

But Adrian Zhekova even wanted to torture this nobody, not letting her die outright.

He wanted Wendy to suffer between life and death.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Adrian Zhekova’s heart must not be dripping blood, but ink instead!

Everyone present shivered.

They became more determined never to offend Adrian Zhekova in the future.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t die a quick death; if tortured by Adrian Zhekova, what would be the point of living or dying!

Wait a minute.

It seemed like someone present had also offended Adrian Zhekova.

Because just now, when Wendy was making a scene, everyone’s attention was on her, so they neglected the Lopez family of three.

Now that Wendy had left, Adrian Zhekova’s words just now had brutally reminded everyone that offending Adrian would not end well.

So, following this line of thinking, they searched.

They suddenly realized that it seemed… they had overlooked something?

What had they overlooked?

Naturally, it was the Lopez family of three who had been trying to shrink themselves in the corner of the banquet hall like quails.

Originally, when Wendy first arrived, the Lopez family thought that tonight would be the end for Cindy Clarke.

So they eagerly squeezed themselves to a place not far from Wendy.

As a result, they didn’t expect Wendy to be dragged out by someone.

The Lopez family couldn’t dare to stay at the center of the storm anymore, could they?

Especially after seeing Adrian Zhekova’s dark heart and dark hands, they wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

Mrs. Lopez had the energy to gossip behind her back before.

But now she didn’t dare to gossip at all.

If it wasn’t for Wendy only just leaving, and their family of three leaving immediately afterward would arouse suspicion and easily be doubted by Adrian Zhekova,

They would have left early.

Now they couldn’t leave, so all they could do was do their best to lower their presence and hide in the farthest corner of the banquet hall.

Little did they know that even this wouldn’t grant them their wish.

Even though they were trying to be so low-key, the guests still managed to think of them!

Usually, the Lopez family loved to show off and couldn’t stand being ignored.

But right now, all three of them were silently thinking the same thing in unison.

Please, just ignore us!

But obviously, the guests couldn’t hear the pleas from the Lopez family.

Instead, they very accurately found their location.

Everyone looked over at them.

Adrian Zhekova chuckled lightly.

As for the Lopez family, a lesson learned would suffice.

However, with just one laugh, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

Adrian Zhekova’s cold gaze fell on Wyatt Kirk.

“Aren’t you going to plead for them?” Adrian Zhekova asked with a light laugh.

Wyatt Kirk was in a dilemma.

He really wanted to shake his head.

He was mainly afraid that if he shook his head, the Lopez family would later blame him for not trying to save them.

But he really didn’t want to have anything to do with the Lopez family.

And if he didn’t shake his head, what would happen if Adrian Zhekova misunderstood?

Adrian Zhekova smiled and said, “This time, for your sake, I’ll let the Lopez family… off the hook.”

Wyatt Kirk looked at Adrian Zhekova with both shock and joy.

However, the shock and horror was greater.

When did this scumbag become so easy to talk to!

Wyatt Kirk didn’t think he had such a big face!

“I just did what was right, standing up to speak for my sister-in-law.” Adrian Zhekova laughed lightly, “This is my way of thanking you.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Adrian Zhekova actually let the Lopez family off for Wyatt Kirk’s sake!

Just now when Wyatt Kirk stood up to speak, he called Adrian Zhekova “Brother Adrian” and Cindy Clarke “Sister-in-law”.

Because Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke didn’t respond, everyone thought it was Wyatt Kirk trying to climb up the relationship ladder.

But they didn’t expect Adrian Zhekova to now openly admit it, saying “Your sister-in-law” to Wyatt Kirk!

“It’s what I should do!” Wyatt Kirk quickly said.

His heart was full of excitement.

Brother Adrian acknowledged him!

“You said last time that if anything happened, you’d be the first to stand up.” Adrian Zhekova said indifferently, “You kept your word this time.”

Wyatt Kirk was instead somewhat embarrassed by Adrian Zhekova’s words.

“This time, just this once, I’ll let the Lopez family off the hook.” Adrian Zhekova said.

The Lopez family was in shock.

When Wyatt Kirk first stood up to defend her, they were quite disdainful.

Wyatt Kirk was surprisingly opportunistic.

But did he think that by standing up for Cindy Clarke and saying a few words, he could please Adrian Zhekova?

If it was that easy to please Adrian Zhekova, then why hadn’t they seen anyone else succeed?

Was everyone else an idiot?

Wyatt Kirk jumping out like this was like a jumping clown.

Embarrassing!

But who would have thought that Adrian Zhekova would really spare the Lopez family for Wyatt Kirk’s sake?

Is there no justice in this world!

Originally, they thought Wyatt Kirk was just a jumping clown, but they didn’t expect him to succeed after all!

The Lopez family was in a daze.

Then they heard Adrian Zhekova say, “But just this once. I’ll only make an exception this one time.”

“After that, no matter what anyone says, it won’t work.” Adrian Zhekova, of course, knew Wyatt Kirk’s concerns.

It was all thanks to Wyatt Kirk sending a message to Adrian Zhekova on Whatsapp as soon as he entered, expressing his attitude.

He absolutely had no intention of pleading for the Lopez family.

He also expressed his difficulties.

So Adrian Zhekova thought it over and kindly spared Wyatt Kirk the trouble in the future.

He made it clear that this was the only exception.

Next time something happens, the Lopez family won’t be able to rely on Wyatt Kirk anymore.

Of course, if something happens again, the Lopez family won’t back down from seeking Wyatt Kirk’s help.

They will try every possible method they can think of.

However, with Wyatt Kirk’s intelligence, he should know how to deal with it.

Just say that he can’t do anything about it.

Or go talk to Adrian Zhekova, but he won’t listen.

Let him say whatever he wants.

However, Adrian Zhekova thought the Lopez family, even if they were stupid, wouldn’t be so determined to rush to their doom.

After this time, they should know better and be afraid.

They wouldn’t dare to provoke him easily.

Because provoking him once might be survivable.

But provoking him a second time would mean certain death.

No one expected that Adrian Zhekova would actually let the Lopez family off the hook for Wyatt Kirk’s sake.

Everyone knew how vengeful Adrian Zhekova could be.

But he was willing to make an exception for Wyatt Kirk’s sake.

Everyone felt like the world had become mysterious.

How did Wyatt Kirk gain so much influence?

“Pinch me quickly, is that really our brother?” one of Wyatt Kirk’s friends said, dazed.

“Ouch!” It wasn’t the one who asked to be pinched but another one, “Why did you pinch me?”

“My left hand was holding a cup so it wasn’t convenient.”
