Chapter 1226 Hurry Over to Protect You
“Adrien.” Lizbeth widened her eyes. “That’s not right. You didn’t say that on the phone You said you had something urgent to discuss and it couldn’t be explained over the phone”
“I was just teasing you.” Adrien chuckled, “Wasn’t I afraid you wouldn’t agree to meet me?”
“…” Lizbeth was displeased too, “Didn’t you see that my parents are alsout to sleep? You’re not a three-year old child. You remember every detail, but in the middle of the night, you managed to wake up my whole family. Really!”
“…” Adrien hurriedly said, “I know I’ve been thoughtless Can’t I apologize to my elders and Edmond?”
“Hmph!” Lizbeth turned her face away. The whole family is on edge, waiting for you. It’s son came up with!”
“It’s my fault,” Adrien said, “I was worried about you, you know?
“I’m just visiting my parents, what’s there to worry about? Lizbeth pouted, her face calo
Adrien looked around and asked, “What about Erin, she’s here too, right?
Lizbeth’s brow furrowed. “Why are you suddenly asking about Erin Anderson?
“I was just asking casually.”
Lizbeth frowned, suspicious, “Adrien, are you hiding something from
Edmond’s expression also darkened. What did Adrien mean by running over in the middle of the night inquire about Erin?
Mrs. Murphy wrinkled her brow and said, “Mr. Adrien, I also find your arrival peculiar, and your questio were odd too. Is there something going on?”
“Adrien.” Paul said, “If there’s an issue, just say it. We’re all family now”
Seeing that his attempt to deceive wouldn’t work, Adrien knitted his brows and asked Edmond in a low voice, “Isn’t Erin with you…”
Edmond didn’t know what Adrien was up to, especially since he repeatedly and openly asked about Erin, which irritated him greatly.
“Mr. Adrien, what are you trying to say?” There was a clear hostility in his tone.
“I just received a notification,” Adrien said in a low voice. “Regarding the last incident with Liz’s car. The culprit has been caught.”
Edmond’s brows furrowed, and he retorted, “Does it have anything to do with Erin?”
“The person confessed that Erin was the mastermind behind it.” Adrien said, “I’m concerned she might harm Liz. That’s why I rushed over in the middle of the night.
As these words came out, everyone fell silent some surprised, some disbelieving.
Edmond reflexively looked back up the stairs.

Of course, he saw nothing
Lizbeth took a sharp breath and asked in a hushed voice. “Adrien, who told you this? Erin and I have had no grudges recently or in the past. Why would she want to harm me?”
“It’s still uncertain whether Erin is targeting you or Enimeline, Adrien said, Tm just not willing to take any chances. That’s why I hurried over to protect you!
A warmth spread in Lizbeth’s heart. Her future fiancé wasn’t as unreliable as she thought.
“Mr. Adrien,” Edmond’s face turned cold, “You must have made a mistake. How could Erin target Liz? And can that incident be something she ordered someone to do? Are you sure it’s not framing?”
“Abel told me about this,” Adrien explained, “I trust him. I’m just reminding you all to be cautious of Ms.
Erin.”
Tve had a feeling she’s off for a while now,” Mrs. Murphy’s face darkened, “That woman always gives me a strange feeling”
“Me too, Lizbeth added, “I just can’t pinpoint what’s off about her.”
“I’m more inclined to think this is Abel trying to frame us!” Edmond’s face turned grim, “Erin is timid as a mouse. How could she be involved in something like this?”
“What a joke!” Adrien sneered. “Do you think Mr. Ryker has nothing better to do than to frame a minor actress? Does he even know who Erin is?”
“Abel is targeting me. He’s aiming at the Murphy family!” Edmond stood up angrily from the sofa.
“Do you even have a brain?” Adrien almost burst out laughing from exasperation, “Abel targeting the Murphy family? Would he target the Murphy family and still help plead for Wonder Doctor to treat Flynn?”
