CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: SHE BELONGS TO ME

Blackstar Technologies Chairman’s Office.

Adrian Langley handed the organized work log to Victor Langley for review.

Victor had a big fight with Leona Sheridan about their eldest son this morning, and his anger was still simmering, making him look at this illegitimate son with even more disdain.

He casually flipped through a couple of pages before suddenly grabbing the thick stack of documents and harshly throwing them at Adrian!

The pages scattered to the floor with a rustling sound.

"I asked you to record the key projects from each day so your brother can smoothly take over the company once he recovers! And what is this garbage you’ve written? Just useless scribbles? Are you trying to hide something?"

Adrian bowed his head, "Father, I did not."

"Coward, you dare not admit what you’ve done!"

Victor stood up, rounded the desk, and walked to him, his finger nearly pointing at Adrian’s forehead.

"Don’t think that just because I let you lead ’Project Helios,’ you can get cocky! Everything you have is granted by me. I give, and you can take; I don’t give, and you don’t even deserve to stand here! Do you understand?"

Adrian kept his head bowed, his voice unwavering, "I understand."

But his compliance only further fueled Victor’s rage.

He then grabbed the purple clay teacup from the desk and flung it at Adrian’s feet.

"Compared to your brother, you fall short by miles! Weak and useless, like a block of wood. I cannot fathom how a naturally born child could be less capable than one from a test tube!"

Victor breathed heavily, casting a disgusted glance at him.

"Get out! Reorganize the log today in detail and send it to your brother! If you dare muddle through again, you can get out of the company for good!"

Adrian’s hand clenched by his side, his knuckles white, but his voice remained respectful and submissive.

"Yes, Father. I’ll reorganize it immediately."

He crouched down, silently picking up the scattered papers one by one, organizing them, and then bowed as he exited the office.

The moment the door closed, all compliance in his eyes froze into an unfathomable coldness.

At that moment, his phone chimed—it was a message from Juliana Jacobs...

Juliana hurried back to the company and saw the lobby full of people.

Leona Sheridan led a group of assistants and secretaries, clearly there to block the entrance.

Upon seeing Juliana, Leona lifted her chin and questioned, "Weren’t you supposed to be at work in the company? You’ve been missing all morning, where did you run off to?"

Juliana’s expression was calm, "Treat yourself like some ancient artifact? Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

Leona gritted her teeth, "Working is your excuse; I bet you’re using it to sneak out and fool around with men."

Juliana slightly furrowed her brows, "Can Mrs. Langley think of such a thing because you do it yourself?"

Leona intended to react but restrained her anger.

She came prepared today; there was no need to argue here.

She spoke coldly, "Let’s go, to the hospital."

"Why go to the hospital?" Juliana asked.

"Your private life is indiscreet, sneaking out for private meetings during work hours, so I need to have you checked for any diseases. I must ensure my son’s health."

"Old traditionalist!"

Juliana shot her a glance and turned to leave, but two strong assistants brought by Leona grabbed her arms on either side.

Her pupils shrank.

Leona sneered, "You don’t have a choice."

Juliana was forcibly taken to the car.

While struggling, she took out her phone, just sent her location to Adrian, but was then snatched away by Leona.

"What, hoping my son will come to rescue you?"

She tossed Juliana’s phone into her purse and scoffed.

"I’m doing this for his good; he’ll definitely support me. Don’t expect him to come and stop me."

Juliana did not respond, turning her gaze to the window.

The east wind was blowing; she had become the straw boat receiving arrows, so she had to handle what came next carefully.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they didn’t go to the outpatient building.

Juliana continued to be carried by both sides, through the staff passage to a connected annex of the main hospital complex.

The corridor was deserted, devoid of signage, illuminated only by harsh white lights, accentuating the uncomfortable examination bed at the center of the room.

Only one doctor was present, a male without even a nurse.

"Put her on the bed."

The male doctor’s voice was ice cold.

The two assistants forced Juliana onto the examination bed; she resisted fiercely.

Leona signaled with her eyes, and two more secretaries came to restrain her legs.

At that moment, bang!

The clinic door was violently thrown open, and Adrian Langley charged in.

He immediately saw Juliana being restrained by humiliation tactics, and without thinking, rushed forward.

"Someone’s causing trouble! Why are you just standing there!"

Leona’s voice was sharp; her entourage quickly pressed Adrian down as he tried to get close to Juliana.

"Auntie, with your status, to insult a woman in such a manner, word would ruin Langley Family’s reputation, even Father would blame you. Please reconsider."

Though meant as advice, it pierced Leona’s most sensitive spot.

She was enraged.

"Pah!" She spat at Adrian, "I don’t need you, a bastard unworthy of the spotlight, teaching me! Trying to play hero? I’ll make it happen."

She turned to her group of assistants and secretaries, commanding, "Beat him, beat him hard. If he gets killed, I’ll take responsibility."

With her words, Adrian was immediately faced with a barrage of punches and kicks.

Leona also lost her patience entirely, facing the four assistants and secretaries holding down Juliana, she said, "Hurry up and remove her pants, let the doctor conduct the examination!"

Horrifying fear seized Juliana; she struggled even harder.

But a hefty assistant tore open one of her pant legs with a "rip," cold air instantly pricking her skin!

Simultaneously, boom!!

The exam room door, along with the door frame, was kicked down with a thunderous crash from outside.

Amidst flying wood chips, Raine Kane flew in.

With a few swift moves, the four holding Juliana were flung out.

Not satisfied, she found the man who tore Juliana’s pants.

With a snap, she broke his hand.

"I left for a moment, and you behave like this, truly oblivious to your limits."

"Who’s this mad dog?" Leona scornfully asked.

"She’s my person."

Elias Langley walked in from outside.

Leona was instantly dumbfounded.

Juliana quickly sat up, clutching the torn pant leg.

But in doing so, her disheveled top was ignored.

Raine hurried over, took off her jacket to tie it around Juliana’s waist, then helped tidy her top.

"So it’s my younger brother." Leona feigned calm, taking on the airs of a responsible elder sister, "I am disciplining my future daughter-in-law. This is a private matter of your brother’s household, not something a younger sibling like you should interfere with."
