CHAPTER 875: CHAPTER 875: DRAGGED AND DEMANDED ANSWERS

Milo Turner couldn’t listen any longer. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV, plunging the living room into silence.

Such silence was actually terrifying! It forced people to think more clearly, focusing more intently on the cruel fact that Faye had been thrown into the water.

But Chloe Gable’s condition at this time hadn’t changed in the slightest.

She sat on the sofa, looking disheveled, tears staining her face, her eyes vacant, "Milo, your sister was pushed into the river..."

"Where’s my brother-in-law?!" Milo Turner was worried about his sister and was particularly agitated, "Isn’t Adrian Lancaster supposed to be incredibly capable?! How could he let this happen?!"

The front door was open, and Adrian Lancaster happened to appear at the entrance.

So Milo Turner’s emotional words naturally reached his ears, striking his nerves and making him even more remorseful.

Milo Turner couldn’t accept that something had happened to his sister. He was full of anger, ready to erupt. He was furious!

Unaware that someone was standing at the door, he continued to question his mother as a family member—

"Mom! Did he have a fight with my sister, and that’s why she ran away from home? Otherwise, how could she be in danger? She always had bodyguards before!"

"No, no!" Chloe Gable anxiously explained, "This has nothing to do with your brother-in-law! Don’t jump to conclusions, your brother-in-law is now..."

"I don’t care how he is now! He’s living well! It’s my sister whose life is uncertain!"

Milo Turner, yelling, happened to glance back and saw Adrian Lancaster, his heart sank, and he lost his nerve.

But his sister’s disappearance was a big deal, and Milo Turner was really anxious!

So, he took strides toward the door, "Brother-in-law, how did you lose my sister?!" His tone was still impolite, obviously blaming him.

In his emotional state, he even directly grabbed Adrian Lancaster by the shoulders, shaking him violently like a madman!

"Answer me! Answer me! How does a living person suddenly go missing?!"

Adrian Lancaster was nearly unable to stand due to the shaking, and Chloe Gable quickly reacted, getting up in a rush, "Milo! This isn’t your brother-in-law’s fault! Let go!"

But how could Milo Turner stay calm?

He was like a madman, shaking him desperately, his voice rising wave after wave—

"You said you would take care of her for a lifetime! How did you make such a promise?! Now she’s missing!"

Having not eaten or slept much for a few days, Adrian Lancaster’s physical strength was not what it used to be. Seeing stars as he was shaken, he simply knitted his brows tightly, not arguing with him.

He didn’t defend himself or push him away; Adrian Lancaster also kept questioning himself: how could he fail to take care of her for a lifetime as promised?

"Enough!" Chloe Gable, seeing that her persuasion was in vain, used all her strength to pull her son sharply, slapping him hard on the cheek—

"You really need to stop!!"

With the crisp slap, the entire living room fell silent!

The two maids standing by were also frightened, not daring to even breathe loudly, shrinking back where they stood.

"Apologize to your brother-in-law!" Chloe Gable, eyes bloodshot, shouted at her son. She knew in her heart that this had nothing to do with Adrian.

Faye hadn’t even quarreled with him before her disappearance.

Milo Turner, covering his aching cheek, was left bewildered by the slap, meeting his mother’s hateful and stern gaze, his mind a little foggy.

When he looked back at Adrian Lancaster, all he saw was his deep, dark eyes, his voice gentle as he said, "Milo, it’s good you’re back. Take care of your mother, make sure she eats and sleeps every day."

After speaking, Adrian Lancaster, whose clothes had been pulled into a mess, bowed to Milo Turner to show his gratitude, which surprised everyone.

After bowing, he turned and left. Chloe Gable hurriedly called after him, "Adrian!" Her heart full of guilt, having burdened him further.
