Chapter156Â
Not having a car was really inconvenient for Adelaide.Â
The slender figure stood in the sun, her face still pale. All she could think about was what Amanda said, Finley deleted herÂ
DNA information.Â
No wonder…Â
No wonder there was no news from the information databaseÂ
for so many years. She thought maybe her family had passedÂ
away, otherwise with today’s advanced technology, how couldÂ
it be possible not to find family.Â
Knowing that Finley wouldn’t let her go was intentional.Â
I didn’t expect him to be so cunning and ruthless.Â
The taxi arrived, I got in and headed to the DNA database inÂ
Adelaide.Â
She had her blood drawn again and left her personalÂ
information.Â

On the way to the meeting, Adelaide’s thoughts wereÂ
Chapter156Â
interrupted by an unknown phone call.Â
After hesitating for a while, she picked up the phone and said,Â
“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”Â
“Is this Ms. Pierce?”Â
It was the voice of a middle–aged woman.Â
Adelaide nodded and before asking again, the other personÂ
started introducing herself, “I am Reginald’s mother.”Â
Upon hearing this, Adelaide sat up straight. “Mrs. Thorton,Â
hello.”Â
She was down and out, didn’t expect things to happen soÂ
quickly.Â
“No need to be nervous,” Nyasia seemed to realize something,Â
her tone calm, with no unfriendly implications, but not exactlyÂ
friendly either. “As far as I know, you were personallyÂ
handpicked by Reginald to join his team. It’s quite impressive toÂ
be put on a project for the Logan Group right after starting.”Â
“Reginald has a good eye for people, he can value you so much, believing in your abilities. But I checked, your major is vocal music. I never thought you could switch fields so easily. Ms.Â
Pierce is really talented and promising.”Â
This is not a compliment, but a probing question.Â

Nyasia was asking what she did to charm her son.Â
“Thanks to Mrs. Thorton’s praise, I did study vocal music inÂ
college. I also learned architecture from another teacher. I haveÂ
certificates for both, it’s not fake.” Here, she casually mentionedÂ
a few websites, “You can find my information on theseÂ
websites.”Â
Nyasia laughed and changed the subject, “You’re not the realÂ
heiress of the Pierce family, I’ve heard that before. But theÂ
Pierce family treated you like their own, they raised you veryÂ
well.”Â
“Being an architect is already tough, do they agree for you toÂ
suffer like this?”Â
“The Pierce family did me a favor, I gotta repay it. But if I rely onÂ
the Pierce family my whole life, I’d be no different from a leech. So I wanna start my own business, and then I can pay themÂ
back.”Â
This is as fake as it gets, said Adelaide.Â
But for now, she could only say that.Â
Nyasia laughed again, “Not only smart, but also a kind and self-Â
aware girl.”Â
Adelaide pursed her lips, her palms sweating.Â

“I know Reginald has been taking you out to discuss projects lately. He’s busy, so I didn’t want to bother him. This phone callÂ
doesn’t mean anything else.”Â
“I hope you can help me out, tell him to come home for dinner these days, Laney can’t wait for him at home every day!” Pausing for a moment, Nyasia asked gracefully, “Would thatÂ
make you uncomfortable?”Â
“I’ll make sure to pass on the message for you,” AdelaideÂ
promised.Â
“Thank you so much, Ms. Pierce.”Â
“Mrs. Thorton was polite.”Â
“Then you go ahead and busy yourself.”Â
“Goodbye, Mrs. Thorton.”Â
As soon as the phone hung up, Adelaide let out a long sigh ofÂ
relief.Â
