I gave it my all with two slaps, but it wasn’t enough to calm Adelaide’s anger.Â
“Adele?” Garrett stood frozen in place, looking at her innocently.Â
“Garrett, do you remember my mentor?”Â
Garrett immediately realized what was going on when he heardÂ
this, and he panicked, explaining, “Adele, listen to me, things areÂ
not as you imagine.”Â
Bang!Â
Another slap.Â
Reginald, who was pulled out from inside, was seen by all fourÂ
of them.Â
Glenn exclaimed, “So Ms. Pierce called him out to scold him!”Â
Mara wanted to clap: “Well done.“”Â
“Did you secretly hide my teacher’s illness and persuade myÂ
clients to leave one by one behind my back while I was workingÂ
as a part–time vocal teacher?” Adelaide asked.Â
“I… Garrett’s feet turned cold, his voice noticeably weaker.Â

“Adele, I’m a man, and I’m your boyfriend. If you go out and doÂ
part–time jobs that people find out about, then what kind ofÂ
boyfriend am I? I just want you to be carefree and happy everyÂ
day.”Â
“My other girlfriends would love to just stay at home and haveÂ
their boyfriends as their only support. I know you have a strongÂ
sense of pride, even though we’ve known each other for 22Â
years, you never let me pay, always insisting on going Dutch. ItÂ
makes me feel like a failure as your man.”Â
“So you think I’m too strong and too proud, so Amanda calledÂ
you brother, acted coquettishly with you, and snuggled up toÂ
you, just to make you feel like a real man, right?”Â
Garrett wanted to argue, but his throat felt like it was beingÂ
squeezed and he couldn’t make a sound.Â
“So what, you think you’re innocent?” Adelaide sneered, even though she had spent 22 years in a relationship, she still grew up at the Pierce’s place. They say that raising is more important than giving birth, but that’s not always true. The richer you are, the more you value blood relations, that’s why she became justÂ
a tool with absolute utility value in Finley’s eyes.Â
“Adele, I messed up,” Garrett apologized, giving in.Â
“Sorry!”Â
Chapter111Â
Adelaide spat out the curse word, one word at a time.Â
Not far away, four people had different degrees of surprise onÂ
their faces.Â
Adelaide had a beautiful face and always carried herself with grace and elegance, making everyone think of her as a perfectÂ
lady.Â
He started swearing, it was such a contrast and so intense.Â
Reginald curled his lip, that’s when he looked angry.Â
Adelaide’s eyes were cold: “I will remember this for the rest ofÂ
my life!”Â
“No!” Garrett grabbed her hand. “I was wrong, Adele! I’m goingÂ
to find the best doctor in the world to treat Mr. Schmitt now. IÂ
will apologize to him and find a way to make it up. Please don’tÂ
be mad at me, don’t ignore me.”Â
Seeing this, Reginald’s handsome face suddenly turned cold.Â
He took a step and walked past.Â
Still cursing under his breath, Glenn saw the boss going toÂ
rescue the damsel in distress and excitedly said, “The boss hasÂ
gone, we should go too!”Â
Nathan and Mara each grabbed one of his arms in sync.Â
Chapter111Â
Nathan said, “That’s enough, boss.”Â
“Wow, there are so many people, let’s support Ms. Pierce.” GlennÂ
couldn’t take a step forward, he turned his head and stared atÂ
the two of them in confusion.Â
Nathan smiled politely and patiently reassured, “Don’t worry,Â
Mr. Thorton can handle it all by himself.”Â
“IÂ
Adelaide was about to slap him again, but before she could evenÂ
raise her hand, she smelled the familiar scent of incense andÂ
saw a dark figure to her left.Â
