Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 80

In the early morning, Riya woke up in the hospital and, asking the doctor, learned that she had been carried in by two men when she was already in a blurry state of mind. Alongside her was another man with both legs broken, fainting in pain. Riya quickly asked, "Doctor, when I was brought in, did I... did I have disheveled clothes?"

The doctor gave her a cold look and said, "I know what you want to ask. You shouldn't have been violated, but you were taken advantage of. Count yourself lucky that it wasn't worse."

Riya was stunned at that moment, realizing that her bra had shifted to the side, and her breasts had clearly been tampered with.

Thinking of that scene, Riya's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted from the thought.

She had been touched without her knowledge in a situation where she didn't know anything.

Now, the doctor continued coldly, "You should be grateful. The other party just got handsy, but if you encounter those truly heartless people, they'll violate you first and then sell your organs." "As a woman, you have no awareness of safety. How foolish!"

Riya was scolded by the doctor but dared not retort.

Later, Riya went to see the man with two broken legs, who turned out to be her friend, the guy who had drugged her.

Riya intended to vent her anger, but as soon as she entered, she encountered the guy's family. She was harshly scolded and even slapped by them.

In the end, Riya paid all the medical expenses with the money she had and escaped the hospital in a miserable state.

...

At this moment, thinking about the events of last night, Riya still felt a lingering fear, along with a sense of injustice and anger.

But the next moment, an endless hatred and resentment surged in Riya's heart.

It's all his fault. He, the lunatic, clearly knew there was something in the drink, yet he watched her drink it, causing her to be taken advantage of and slapped. He even emptied her pockets!

If Adam had insisted a little and protected her closely, wouldn't she have avoided all this suffering?!

The more Riya thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared at Adam, questioning, "Why didn't you take me away last night?"

"You knew there was something in the drink, yet you let me drink it?"

"Do you know what I went through? I'm your cousin, at least, how can you stand by and do nothing? Are you still human?"

Huh?

Katie turned her head and glanced at Adam.

Adam and Riya were together last night?

The reporters, hearing there was more to the story, immediately rushed excitedly. The cousin-in-law and cousin together at a bar? The reporters rapidly speculated, turning their cameras towards Adam and snapping away. Adam frowned and said, "I already warned you."

Riya was even more furious, "Is a warning enough? Why didn't you insist? Why didn't you take me away?"

"Even if I didn't leave at that time, you should have protected me closely. Are you still a man?"

"Do you know? I almost got my organs sold!"

The more Riya spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she burst into tears.

This instantly ignited the emotions of everyone present. They began to scold one after another, "Yeah, how miserable it would be if such a beautiful woman had her organs sold."

"You actually stood by and watched your cousin being bullied. Are you still human?"

"The whole family is heartless. Your wife disdains the poor and favors the rich, and you watch your cousin being mistreated. You're all heartless animals."

"Let them get out of the Hartleys Group. People like them don't deserve to work in our company."

In an instant, emotions were stirred up, and countless people pointed at Adam and Katie, cursing them.

The reporters were not to be outdone, bombarding them with questions: "Sir, can you explain why you went to the bar with your cousin-in-law?" "Does your wife know? Are you secretly seeking pleasure behind your wife's back?"

"Sir, do you have anything to say now?"

Question after question, accusation after accusation.

At this moment, Katie and Adam seemed to become sinners of the whole world. They shouldn't live in this world; their existence was a disgrace! Katie had never experienced such a situation.

Angry, trembling, and helpless, she tried to speak up to defend herself, to clarify, but her voice was too small against the overwhelming tide of accusations. Rumors can become facts if repeated enough times!

She knew the other party was distorting the truth, speaking nonsense, but she couldn't defend herself against the tide of countless voices.

Then looking at Adam, his expression was icy, and his sharp gaze seemed like it could kill!

Boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura soared into the sky, and everyone on the scene felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Shut up!"

Adam's thunderous voice directly overwhelmed everyone else.

With his aura fully unleashed, his icy gaze swept over every face.

"Is this your quality? Spreading rumors without distinguishing right from wrong."

"The truth is unclear, the facts are unknown. Why do you have the right to slander and accuse here? What you are doing is no different from murder."

"And you, as journalists, for the sake of sensationalism, disregarding the facts, is this your professional ethics?"

"Are you journalists? Or just paparazzi who only care about gossip?"

"If they are murderers, then you are the knives in their hands!"

Each roar echoed through the venue.

Finally, Adam looked at Amanda and Riya, the mother and daughter. His voice became colder, "You are here distorting facts, stirring up right and wrong, simply trying to use public opinion to force Katie into agreeing to your unreasonable demands." "But today, I'll make it clear. As long as I am Katie's husband, you will never step through the doors of the Hartleys Group."

"Don't talk about a small public opinion campaign. Even if you turn the whole Lisle City upside down, you won't make her suffer unjustly!"

"With me here, there is no one in the world who can force her to do something she doesn't want to do. If there is, I'll fight the world alone! How about that?!!!"
