Chapter142Â
Garrett was shaking with anger; about to struggle, whenÂ
Amanda’s voice, like a ghost creeping out of the shadows,Â
whispered, “Let go of me now, or everything you got from theÂ
Barnard family will be taken back.”Â
“Garrett, are you after love or bread? Even if you want love,Â
Adelaide probably can’t give it to you. So, why bother?”Â
Garrett suppressed his anger, pulling her hand away, “Amanda,Â
you will pay for this.”Â
Amanda was not threatened, she replied with a sweet and innocent smile, “It’s okay, as long as I can be with Garrett,Â
everything is worth it.”Â
As for that bitch Adelaide…Â
I had to die!Â
***Â
Adelaide didn’t even say hi to Evelyn, she just left the hospital.Â
I happened to bump into Jeanette, who was on her way to the hospital, when I was waiting for her in the parking lot.Â
Chapter142Â
“Adelaide, you really dared to come here!” Jeanette’s voice wasÂ
sharp, coming straight at her.Â
Adelaide just felt a throbbing pain in her temples.Â
Bad luck is either not coming at all, or it’s coming one afterÂ
another, not giving people a chance to catch their breath.Â
“Mom, are you going to scold me in public?” Adelaide’s lightÂ
reminder made Jeanette stop in her tracks and freeze in place.Â
Adelaide smirked and said, “Dad just got out of jail, the companyÂ
just barely stabilized. You don’t want to make headlines again atÂ
this point, do you?”Â
“You!” Jeanette’s face turned red as a beet, but she could onlyÂ
hold back her anger when she saw the people around her. “YouÂ
ruined Amanda and Garrett’s tasting yesterday, this can’t just beÂ
brushed off.”Â
“Whether it counts or not, what you said doesn’t count. ButÂ
now I need to remind you of something, your good son–in–law isÂ
choking your good daughter. If you don’t go up there soon, itÂ
will be too late.”Â
“What?!”Â
Adelaide just smiled without saying a word.Â
Jeanette ended up believing her after all, since she was there,Â
Chapter142Â
Garrett and Amanda wouldn’t behave.Â
“Stupid girl!” she cursed, then headed straight to the hospitalÂ
ward.Â
Adelaide put on a fake smile and casually walked into theÂ
parking lot.Â
She sat in the driver’s seat with her front foot, and theÂ
passenger door was opened with her back foot. She was startledÂ
at first, but then relaxed when she saw who it was.Â
“Mr. Thorton…”Â
Reginald expressionlessly buckled his seatbelt, “Are we going orÂ
not?”Â
Adelaide quietly started the car and chuckled, “What aÂ
coincidence, running into Mr. Thorton here.”Â
“Was it a coincidence?”Â
“Nice.”Â
Reginald chuckled, “Coincidentally, it’s just for you.”Â
“Adelaide gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to keep theÂ
car from swaying as much as possible.”Â
“Everyone else tries to avoid meeting until the cooling–offÂ
Chapter142Â
period is over, Adelaide, but you, always in a hurry to meet,”Â
Reginald said with a frown.Â
“This was the last time, I only stepped in because of MadamÂ
Barnard, to convince him to stop messing around, wait for the cooling–off period to pass and then just get the divorceÂ
certificate.” Adelaide said this with little confidence.Â
“So, did you succeed?” asked Reginald, with a mocking tone.Â
Adelaide looked a bit awkward.Â
Reginald gave her a sideways glance and said “Adelaide, stopÂ
abusing your ears and eyes.””Â
“?????”Â
The next second, Reginald didn’t hold back, “They should beÂ
more resilient to those voices than your brain.”Â

..”Adelaide wanted to leave him behind in the car.Â
“From now on, don’t go see them behind my back,” ReginaldÂ
threatened her, “If there’s a next time, Adelaide, the gentleman’sÂ
agreement in the contract is off!”Â
