As soon as she heard she had to call the police, Amanda freakedÂ
out.Â
In the end, unwillingly, he left the restaurant in a mess,Â
wrapped in his coat.Â
She came back home in a mess, saw her mother, and burst intoÂ
tears, “Mom!”Â
Jeanette saw her like this and hurriedly asked, “Weren’t youÂ
dining out with friends? How did you end up like this comingÂ
back?”Â
Amanda cried and stomped her feet, “It’s Adelaide! I ran into herÂ
at the restaurant, she blamed me for taking Garrett away, so sheÂ
bullied me.”Â
As soon as she heard it was Adelaide, Jeanette got angry on theÂ
spot.Â
“I hid away for a few days and when I came out, he bullied my daughter. She’s really fed up!” Jeanette comforted her, “Don’t worry, Mom will make Spencer pay for it.”Â

The dinner ended not too bad, Adelaide and her colleagues wentÂ
back to the company.Â
She was just sitting at her desk when a call from overseas cameÂ
- in.Â
Her intuition told her, It was Garrett.Â
She calmly walked into the lounge to answer the phone.Â
“Adele, it’s me.”Â
The familiar voice, just lacking the past lively spirit, only hoarse.Â
“I knew it was you,” Adelaide said casually, “Is it interesting?”Â
“I just wanted to prove myself.”Â
“This is not a way for you to avoid responsibility”Â
“Didn’t I already explain to you? I was drugged! If I wasn’tÂ
drugged, I wouldn’t have even touched her!” Garrett’s emotionsÂ
suddenly became intense, to the point where he even smashed aÂ
glass.Â
A crisp sound came from over there, a bit harsh.Â
Adelaide took a deep breath, and Garrett realized something. He immediately softened his tone and said, “Adele, I didn’t mean toÂ
snap at you. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t control my emotions.”Â

She looked at him and said, “Even if you were drugged, you stillÂ
had an intimate relationship with her. And just because youÂ
were drugged, it doesn’t erase your previous actions. Garrett,Â
please be mature and responsible, leave the Barnard family, youÂ
can’t survive there, can you?”Â
After a long silence, Garrett grimly spoke, “So you think I’m notÂ
mature and stable enough, that’s why you’re with Reginald,Â
right?”Â
Adelaide frowned.Â
She didn’t have to guess, she knew it was definitely SpencerÂ
who said that.Â
He really did whatever it took to achieve his goal.Â
“Are you doing this to get back at me for betraying you, tryingÂ
to provoke me and force mé back to Evercrest?” Garrett said, hisÂ
tone clearly tinged with expectation.Â
Adelaide rubbed her forehead, “Don’t pat yourself on the backÂ
too much.”Â
Garrett trembled, “Do you like him?”Â
She hadn’t even spoken yet, and Garrett got excited again, “No way! How could you fall for another man in such a short time! You said no one could shake the feelings between us, you said the most important thing in your life is our relationship.”Â

“You were just trying to get back at me, right? Right, Adele?”Â
If Garrett were standing in front of her right now, Adelaide feltÂ
like he was about to make a move.Â
“You’re overthinking it, you don’t have that much weight withÂ
me,” Adelaide said irritably.Â
Garrett, who heard this, exploded in anger, “No wonder youÂ
knew about me and Amanda, you kept it to yourself at first, waiting until you had evidence to come clean. You’ve actually regretted marrying me a long time ago, haven’t you? You just wanted to use me and Amanda to get a divorce and then runÂ
into his arms, right?”Â
