CHAPTER 780: CHAPTER 780: THANK GOODNESS PRESIDENT LANCASTER WAS HERE

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a commotion at the door—

Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were wrestling with Rachel Sherman’s housekeeper over June!

The child’s loud cries echoed through the hallway! Fearful and in pain.

The housekeeper was holding June’s upper body, while Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were pulling at the child’s legs, and in the struggle, even the shoes came off!

Faye Turner held Joy closely, her heart tightened!

Adrian Lancaster immediately rushed over, pulling Mr. and Mrs. Shaw away, "What are you doing?! In broad daylight!"

The housekeeper hugged the crying and fussing June, backing away to the doorway in panic! Protecting the weeping child with a pained expression.

Due to Adrian’s excessive force, the couple was flung toward the wall, hitting it with a painful thud!

It was only after realizing what had happened did they see Adrian Lancaster and Faye Turner. The elderly couple was startled, suddenly feeling guilty and afraid.

"Breaking into a private home to snatch a child, how are you different from kidnappers?" Adrian Lancaster’s face was as cold as ice, suppressing his anger, "You’re crossing the line of the law!"

The man’s aura was too intimidating. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were struck with fear, their shoulders trembling, faces pale as they pressed against the wall, suddenly too scared to make a sound.

Faye Turner, holding her daughter, came to Adrian’s side. She thought of Rachel’s hardships and greatness on the disaster front lines, and her anger ignited—

"The law has already awarded custody to Rachel! Why are you trying to take the child? She’s so young, she can’t be without her mom! You’re really cruel!"

Only after becoming a mother herself could she truly understand that feeling.

Mr. and Mrs. Shaw knew they were in the wrong and were clearly at a disadvantage.

Adrian Lancaster put his arm around his wife’s shoulder, comforting her.

Still filled with anger, Faye Turner looked at the two angrily and sadly, "You’re not trying to care for her out of goodwill, are you? You’re just using the child to manipulate Rachel! To threaten her!"

Being called out so directly, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw couldn’t argue back. Coupled with Adrian Lancaster’s cold and low demeanor, his gaze like a sharp knife, the couple had no choice but to lower their heads.

Mrs. Shaw glanced at the nearby emergency exit, grabbed the old man, turned around, and quickly left, deciding to just make a clean break of it.

Adrian Lancaster didn’t chase after them, just watched their backs disappearing from his sight, listening to their footsteps on the stairs, gradually fading away and then gone.

At this moment, the housekeeper at the doorway, holding June, finally managed to soothe the child. Her face was full of lingering fear; she had really been scared just now, breathing heavily.

"Mr. Lancaster, Miss Turner, thank you so much just now..." The housekeeper said with tears in her eyes, extremely emotional.

"Auntie, Rachel isn’t home these couple of days, so pack some things and come stay with us, okay?" Faye Turner spoke without consulting Adrian Lancaster, "I just can’t leave you here like this."

Of course, Adrian Lancaster agreed with his wife’s decision.

Then he stepped forward, taking June from the housekeeper’s arms, "Come, Uncle will hold you." He looked at the housekeeper with a gentle demeanor, "You go pack, just bring some personal items, we have everything else."

"..." The housekeeper looked at him gratefully, stunned for a moment before coming to her senses, "Alright." Then she turned and went inside.

Outside the door, the couple holding the child exchanged a glance, they were both so kind-hearted.

When it comes to taking care of a child, there’s no room for error.

"Why did the ex-mother-in-law come again? How did they get up here?" Faye Turner wondered, muttering softly, "I heard from Rachel she caused a scene once when Chase Fletcher happened to be there, and he grilled the property management, promising it wouldn’t happen again."

"Can you even trust property management promises?" Adrian Lancaster, who worked in real estate development, was all too aware of the true nature of property management.

They make a fuss when collecting fees, but are totally unreliable when it comes to getting things done.
