His Perfect Ex Returns: The Heiress Walks Away to Her Real Prince-Chapter 168: Are You Worthy?

After Adrian Jennings finished handling The Jennings Group’s affairs, he headed straight to the base.

Basement.

Adrian Jennings stood three or four meters away from Selina Hughes.

"Adrian! Adrian, you finally came to see me!" As soon as Selina Hughes saw Adrian Jennings, she seemed crazed, crying out loudly and wanting to run towards him.

Her voice was terribly hoarse, sounding somewhat terrifying.

But her hands and feet were bound, the ropes fixed to the iron gate beside her, Selina Hughes was tied up like a dog, utterly stripped of dignity.

Adrian Jennings frowned, the pressure around him was very low.

"Who allowed you to call me like that?"

Hearing Adrian Jennings say this, Selina Hughes paused, then suddenly laughed bitterly.

"Why can’t I call you that? Do you want me to call you ’brother’?" Selina Hughes’s expression was indescribably strange, she laughed, "Calling you ’brother’ is fine too, I like brothers the most."

Adrian Jennings furrowed his brow tightly, "Do you know what you’re saying?"

"Of course I know!" Selina Hughes shouted with a hoarse voice, "I like you! I love you, Adrian Jennings! Can’t you feel my passionate love?"

"Do you want to ask me why I did those things?" Selina Hughes cried and then laughed, "Hahahahaha, of course, it was for you! Adrian, after all these years, haven’t you noticed my feelings?"

In the enclosed basement, dim yellow light spilled down, the madness and obsession in Selina Hughes’s eyes were clearly visible, at this moment, the sordid thoughts she had harbored for over a decade were exposed with nowhere to hide.

After she finished speaking, only a dead silence remained in the basement.

Adrian Jennings, tall and upright, stood in front of Selina Hughes, looking down at her coldly, the man exuded a biting chill.

The air was filled with a vague scent of blood.

A moment of silence.

Adrian Jennings suddenly chuckled.

"Love me?" The man’s long eyes were deep and dark, like an unfathomable pool.

Selina Hughes stared at Adrian Jennings, seeing him scornfully tug at the corner of his lips, with an indifferent expression and icy gaze.

"Do you deserve it?"

Three words, enunciated with sarcasm.

Instantly, the blood drained from Selina Hughes’s face.

She bit her lower lip fiercely, tears slipped from her eyes.

"Brother, Adrian... how can you be so cruel..." Selina Hughes cried out accusingly.

Adrian Jennings stood there coldly, looking at Selina Hughes with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Selina Hughes, from now on, you have no relation with the Jennings family."

Selina Hughes’s gaze was vacant, her eyes devoid of light, she murmured, "I’ve long since stopped wanting to be your sister."

Adrian Jennings nodded slightly, "Then now, it’s time for you to apologize for what you did before."

"Luke." Adrian Jennings spoke at an unhurried pace, "Take her outside."

"Yes, young master."

Selina Hughes asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Adrian Jennings didn’t answer.

He turned indifferently, walking away at a leisurely pace.

Outside, there was a large open space.

A helicopter was parked on the open ground.

Luke ordered his men to carry Selina Hughes out and throw her on the ground.

Then, a man used a very thick rope to tie Selina Hughes’s hands, with the other end attached to the frame under the helicopter.

A few minutes later, the helicopter started up, taking off.

Selina Hughes was dangling from the helicopter, swaying in the air.

Early spring winds still carried a chill, the higher the helicopter flew, the stronger and colder the wind became.

The roaring wind was bone-chilling, Selina Hughes’s clothes were thin, unable to withstand the cold, suspended in mid-air being ravaged by the cold wind, it wouldn’t take long before she perished from hypothermia.

Half an hour later.

Luke wanted to tell Adrian Jennings that it was about time, Selina Hughes couldn’t hold out much longer.

Was the young master planning to let Selina Hughes die here today?

Luke glanced at Adrian Jennings, showing a expression of hesitant speech.

It’s not that he felt sorry for Selina Hughes, her heart was as venomous as a scorpion’s, with several lives on her hands, compared to what Selina Hughes did to those innocent people, today’s punishment was nothing.

But if Selina Hughes died at Adrian Jennings’s hands today, it would be hard to explain to the old master and the old lady of the Jennings family.

Adrian Jennings was expressionless.

Showing no sign of wanting to stop.

Luke couldn’t discern what Adrian Jennings truly meant.

He knew how important Talia Rhodes was in Adrian Jennings’s heart.

He had no doubt that Adrian Jennings would torture Selina Hughes to avenge Talia Rhodes.

But if that were the case, what about the old master and the old lady?

Selina Hughes was, after all, the foster daughter of the Jennings family, and the old lady adored her, without a doubt according to the intentions of the old master and the old lady, Selina Hughes, even if committing illegal acts, should be handed over to the judicial authorities for punishment.

Luke thought Adrian Jennings would want Selina Hughes dead on this snowy, cold night.

Yet, in the next second, Adrian Jennings gestured towards him.

Luke understood instantly, and promptly said through the radio, "That’s enough, stop."

The helicopter slowly descended.

Selina Hughes was frozen purple, her lips black, her eyelashes and hair covered in a layer of ice and snow.

She lay motionless on the ground, looking lifeless.

Adrian Jennings ordered Luke coldly, "Get medical personnel to look at her, don’t let her die so easily."

"Yes, young master."

...

Selina Hughes was rescued, lying in the base’s infirmary, even though she was saved, she was in a near-death state.

The following day, Adrian Jennings made a trip back to the Jennings family.

Mrs. Jennings Melinda was drinking tea in the living room, seeing Adrian Jennings, she asked in confusion, "Adrian, why have you come back?"

Adrian Jennings sat on the sofa, his long legs casually crossed before him, asked Melinda Lynch, "Hasn’t my dad returned yet?"

Melinda Lynch looked at Adrian Jennings, "What’s the matter with your dad?"

"Yes." Adrian Jennings said flatly, "I just called him, he should be arriving soon."

Melinda Lynch asked, "What’s the matter?"

Adrian Jennings’s expression was calm, his voice smooth and unruffled, "About expelling Selina Hughes from the Jennings family."

"Selina Hughes was caught?" Melinda Lynch suddenly opened her eyes wide, "When did that happen?"

A few days ago, Melinda Lynch was nearly infuriated to death when she found out Selina Hughes was working for Vincent Fletcher.

She had planned to use family law on Selina Hughes before sending her to the old master for disposition, but the people sent to capture Selina Hughes reported that she had escaped.

The old lady of the Jennings refused to believe her dear granddaughter was aiding Vincent Fletcher against the Jennings family, and in a fit of anger, had a relapse and was hospitalized for several days, getting discharged just yesterday.

"Caught yesterday from Aridia."

Melinda Lynch was taken aback, "Did you inform your grandfather and grandmother?"

"Yes, grandfather couldn’t return, said to leave this matter entirely to me, grandmother has been notified as well."

Melinda Lynch sighed, "Your grandmother just came out of the hospital, notifying her might..."

Stopping for a moment, Melinda Lynch frowned and continued, "Your grandmother has always pampered Selina Hughes, this time she’ll probably do everything to protect her."

Adrian Jennings curled his lips coldly, "Pampered, so what? What I decide, grandmother cannot change."
