Fan Husband 94

The inside was very simple, with essentials like a bed, sofa, and 

fridge. She looked around but still didn’t see any sign of 

Reginald. She did notice that the bathroom light was on, so he 

must be in there. 

She decided to leave the inner room and wait outside. 

And at that moment, the bathroom door swung open. 

Adelaide: “.. 

Π 

This time card is just right. 

When Adelaide saw Reginald coming out with only a towel 

wrapped around his lower body, she was shocked and 

immediately turned away in a panic. 

“Mr. Thorton.” 

Abs, V–line… it’s like they were branded in Adelaide’s mind, can’t 

shake them off for a long time. 

Damn, how come he was taking a shower! 

Adelaide pretended to be calm and said, “Mr. Thorton, you go 

ahead, I’ll wait for you outside.””

“Just say it here.” Reginald was already sitting on the couch, dressed in a bathrobe. “Turn around, I’m getting dressed.” 

Adelaide pursed her lips into a straight line, turned stiffly away. 

I did wear clothes, but the bathrobe was still open, and you 

could still see what you were supposed to see. 

She closed her eyes, actually it’s nothing, just pretend he went 

swimming just now. 

After this self–hypnosis, she finally regained some composure 

and said, “Mr. Thorton, I saw online that the Hicks Group had a 

batch of overseas materials tested as unfit at a port under the 

Thorton family’s name.” 

“Yeah, I did.” 

Seeing him being straightforward, Adelaide hesitated for a moment, suddenly realizing something, and immediately 

explained, “Mr. Thorton, you misunderstood me.” 

Reginald raised his eyebrows and said, “So, tell me what I 

misunderstood about you.” 

Adelaide: “I just wanted to confirm if the materials from the Hicks Group were really substandard, and if tax evasion was 

really happening.” 

If not, Reginald deliberately threw dirt. She was afraid it would

backfire and come back to him, that’s all. 

“How else would I have the chance to take advantage of it?” 

Adelaide breathed a sigh of relief when he asked like that, 

That’s good, it’s substantial evidence. 

Reginald was a bit angry at first, but her reaction was so unexpected that his gloomy mood instantly disappeared. 

I wasn’t worried about the Pierce family, I was worried about 

him. 

Reginald said, “Don’t think Finley is some kind of legitimate businessman, Spencer isn’t clean either.” 

Adelaide was silent. 

Just from the way Finley and Spencer were acting during that time, she knew they weren’t good people. 

If they can do such a despicable thing as drugging someone, how clean can their way of making money be? 

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been the concept of enemies in 

the first place. 

“They won’t have time to deal with you during this period, just 

focus on the ancient town design.” 

“I got it,” Adelaide added, “Thanks, Mr. Thorton.” 

Reginald’s face turned black. 

Thanks again…. 

Reginald complained, “Do you really love saying ‘thank you‘ so 

much?” 

Adelaide promised, “I would win the first prize in the ancient 

town design competition and give Mr. Thorton a chance to 

invest.” 

Reginald thought she would definitely say something like let 

me treat you to a meal or give him a gift, but man, she really 

threw him a curveball. 

He was convinced… 

“Well, starting tonight you’ll be working late at Rosecliff 

Manor.” 

Adelaide: “???” 

Working late at Rosecliff Manor again? 

Reginald guessed the meaning of her expression, raised an 

eyebrow and looked at her, “Didn’t you just say you were definitely going to win the first prize in the ancient town?” 

Chapter94 

“Um.” 

But she didn’t say she was going to work overtime at Rosecliff 

Manor.
