Emily Parker only felt a sudden sharp pain on her scalp, as if her skin was being forcibly torn off, and a flash of anger crossed her eyes.
Before she had time to react, a strong arm yanked her into a hard chest.
The next second, accompanied by a dull grunt, a long, sturdy leg swiftly kicked heavily at Adeline's knee.
Adeline let out a miserable cry of "Ouch," her legs went weak, and she collapsed heavily to the ground, her knees hitting the surface, scraping the skin, causing trickles of blood.
Before Adeline could recover, her hair was violently yanked, forcing her head up.
She looked up, only to meet Carlos's cold, stern face. His gaze was so chilling it felt like it could freeze someone. Adeline's face turned pale with fear, her lips trembled, stuttering,
"Master, Master Carter!"
Carlos looked down at her, his eyes full of disgust and warning, his thin lips parted slightly as he coldly spat out a sentence,
"Who said she was a homewrecker? She's my wife."
