Chapter 134 The Reason Mr. Riley Delayed His Wedding Ceremony
Compared to the anxious Victoria, Curtis appeared rather calm and unhurried.
He smiled in response and said, "No rush. I will definitely give Adeline the rightful status she deserves. As for the wedding ceremony, it will be grand. However, there are some matters needed to be dealt with first."
Curtis's words were ambiguous, but Victoria continued to press him insistently.
"Isn't your brother, Leo has taken over the management of the business? What else could you be busy with? Curtis, please don't blame me for being nosy, but you wouldn't be having second thoughts about marrying Adeline, would you?"
"The matter of marrying Adeline is not something for you to worry about." After that, Curtis said a few names in succession, "Michael Johnson, Joseph Brown, Andrew Taylor... I wonder if you know these few hoodlums? Yesterday, these hoodlums scared Adeline."
Victoria's expression changed instantly.
"I came here today just to see my brother. I heard that my brother has connections in the North District police station. I want to use his influence to extract information from these hoodlums about the person behind them."
Victoria's body suddenly grew cold, her blood freezing as an unexpected shiver ran down her spine.
At the same time, a maid entered the living room and addressed old Mr. Riley, "Mr. Leo just called, saying he can't make it due to some urgent matter. He has been trying to reach you on your phone, but it's unreachable. He asked me to inform you."
"Okay." Frank waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave.
A visible sigh of relief appeared on Victoria's face.
Before she could say anything, Frank gave her a stern glance, causing her to reluctantly close her mouth.
"Curtis, come upstairs with me. I have a few questions to ask you."
After that, Steffen pushed Curtis to follow Frank and went upstairs.
Upon entering the study, Frank immediately inquired, "Curtis, what do you mean? What else could be keeping you so busy? Why haven't you held the wedding ceremony with Adeline yet?"
Mentioning the wedding, Curtis's expression grew somber.
"Just have to wait for a bit more."
Frank stomped his cane in frustration and said, "Wait again! Adeline is a sensitive girl. I'm worried she might misunderstand."
"Dad, Adeline and I have already registered our marriage. Legally, we are already husband and wife. As for the wedding ceremony, we just need a bit more time." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"How long do you intend to wait?" Frank stared sharply at him.
Curtis let out a slight sigh and continued, "At least until she has resolved things with Logan, until she's completely free from him, only then can she walk down the aisle with me. I want her to marry me wholeheartedly, with me being the only one in her eyes and heart. Besides... I also want to wait until the day I can stand on my own feet before holding the wedding. I don't want her to become a joke in Prodiff."
Frank glanced at Curtis's legs, his eyes darkening, and said, "Still no progress on that matter?"
"Yes," Curtis replied in a low voice.
Frank stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "If there are remnants of the Black Hawk Club, that would indeed complicate things."
It would also affect Adeline's safety. Keeping it low-profile was a form of protection for her.
"Alright then. You may go now! I have nothing more to ask. You and Victoria keep arguing and giving me a headache, raising my blood pressure."
"Then I'll leave now." Curtis pushed the wheelchair and suddenly turned to Frank and said, "Did you ask Leon not to come back?"
Frank didn't answer but he said, "His birthday is coming up in a few days, he will know eventually."
Curtis gave him a meaningful look and said, "I'm just worried that before that happens, Victoria might do something desperate."
Frank remained silent.
Curtis stopped talking too. He went downstairs and left with Adeline.
Before leaving, Curtis looked at Victoria and said, "You always look so amusing when you feel guilt about your wrongdoing!"
Upon hearing that, Victoria's expression changed, and asked, "Curtis, what did you just tell Frank?"
"The one who told him about it was you. Wasn't it?" Curtis looked at Victoria with a faint smile.
"Me? What did I tell him?" Victoria was utterly puzzled.
