Chapter 409
Anna Ross immediately stood up and quickly moved behind him.
Her head was bowed, her fingers still trembling.
Adrian Sinclair's brow was deeply furrowed, his gaze terrifyingly cold.
Mark Anderson ran up, panting heavily, and gasped at the scene.
This was utter lawlessness!
Committing such an act openly in broad daylight!
The man on the ground struggled to get up, cursing foully.
Adrian's eyes darkened, his hand rising to act.
Mark quickly stopped him.
"Let me handle this."
"I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"You take her away first."
He stared coldly at the man on the ground.
Daring to cause trouble on his turf.
And offending the very person he needed assistance from.
Truly seeking his own demise.
Adrian's expression was tense as he took Anna's hand and turned to leave.
Anna felt unsettled the entire way.
She had always known public safety abroad wasn't great.
But she never expected something like this to happen to her.
When that burly man forcibly dragged her into the alley earlier.
She had been truly terrified.
So filthy.
So disgusting.
Why did these things always happen to her?
"Let's go in for a drink."
Adrian noticed her pale complexion and pointed to a tea house by the road.
Anna nodded softly.
She desperately needed some quiet.
After they were seated, the server brought two cups of hot tea.
The calm and soothing atmosphere gradually helped her relax.
Adrian watched the person silently drinking tea across from him.
"When something like that happens, why don't you call for help?"
"Or call me?"
If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and gone to investigate.
The consequences would have been unthinkable.
His expression darkened again.
His fingers clenched tightly around the teacup.
As if he wanted to crush it.
Even that couldn't quell the fury in his heart.
Anna set down her teacup and explained softly.
"He covered my mouth."
"I couldn't make a sound."
That man was powerfully built.
She had no strength to resist.
Adrian's face grew colder.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip.
His phone suddenly chimed with a notification.
He glanced at it.
In the video, the man was already beaten to within an inch of his life.
Only then did his expression soften slightly.
Anna stole a glance at him, not daring to speak again.
She felt like she was really having a streak of bad luck lately.
She seemed to encounter every unfortunate event possible.
They sat in the tea house for a long time.
Only when her complexion improved did Adrian take her to leave.
This tea house had a prime location.
Right outside was a spacious town square.
The square was currently bustling with a large crowd, extremely lively.
It seemed some event was taking place.
Anna almost stepped forward.
It had been so long since she had relaxed.
But the next moment, she withdrew her foot and suppressed her smile.
She had almost forgotten.
She was here on a business trip.
"Want to go?" Adrian glanced at her briefly, his gaze shifting to the colorful stalls in the square.
Anna shook her head.
"There's still work to do."
"Rest tonight." Adrian directly took her hand and led her toward the square.
Anna wanted to say something.
But she was captivated by the exciting performances on both sides.
She quickly forgot her original concerns.
It was truly beautiful and lively here.
The clown performance made everyone laugh heartily.
The showgirls' dance drew cheers and applause.
The cheers rose and fell in waves.
