Chapter119Â
“If you want to settle the money I’ve spent on the Pierce family for the past twenty–five years, you can calculate it however youÂ
want, I’ll pay it all at once. As for raising me, the husband I gaveÂ
up, is priceless to your daughter, that’s enough to offset it.””Â
Adelaide calmly said, “If there are no issues, then we can end theÂ
relationship at any time. As for my father, I hope you canÂ
convince him to cut ties cleanly if we are going to end it.”Â
“You were threatening me,” Jeanette gritted her teeth, angrilyÂ
said.Â
“Weren’t you hoping I’d get out of the Pierce family a long timeÂ
ago?” Adelaide chuckled, “I’m just fulfilling your wish now, doÂ
you want Amanda to come home after marrying Garrett andÂ
still have to face me as your ex–wife? Wouldn’t that makeÂ
Amanda sick again?”Â
“Okay, settle, cut ties!”Â
“Sure, I’ll wait for your settlement.”Â
Jeanette hung up the phone in anger, but when she calmed down, she remembered why she had called Adelaide.Â
I was so mad at her that I forgot she had given me a letter ofÂ
Chapter 10Â
reconciliation to let Amanda go.Â
Jeanette was furious again.Â
But this time she hurried out of the bedroom and went straightÂ
to the study on the third floor to find her son.Â
She pushed the door open and shouted, Spencer!Â
Spencer furrowed his brow and quickly hung up the phone. “Mom, why don’t you knock before entering my study?”Â
Jeanette said angrily, “Am I an outsider?”Â
“Your dad and your sister were still squatting inside, how canÂ
you not be anxious?”Â
“Now you go find that little…” Jeanette stopped herself,Â
remembering her son’s cold face, and changed her wordsÂ
abruptly. “You go find Adelaide, I just called her, she actuallyÂ
said she wants to cut ties with the Pierce family.”Â
“She was totally out of control!”Â
Adelaide hadn’t even opened the fingerprint door yet whenÂ
Reginald’s phone suddenly rang.Â
She couldn’t help but think of the things she had agreed withÂ
Reginald before.Â

I was working late at Rosecliff Manor…Â
“Mr. Thorton.”Â
“What time is it?” the man asked.Â
“I’m coming over now,” Adelaide said, hanging up the phone. She quickly put down her things inside the house, grabbed her tablet and a pack of cookies, and took a shortcut to Rosecliff Manor.Â
The villa was still brightly lit.Â
She had just entered through the small side door next to the big iron gate when her sixth sense kicked in. She stopped in herÂ
tracks and her eyes scanned over to the car that definitely wasn’t Reginald’s.Â
It’s a nanny car.Â
But she was sure it wasn’t Reginald’s car.Â
There were people inside.Â
Adelaide didn’t even think twice, she quietly slipped out and texted Reginald, “Mr. Thorton, there’s someone at your house. I won’t disturb them, I’ll just go back to my apartment to workÂ
overtime.”Â
A few seconds later, Reginald replied with a uh–huh.Â

She breathed a sigh of relief and headed back the way she came.Â
Sure enough, a woman’s sixth sense is spot on.Â
In the villa, after Reginald replied to the message, he smiledÂ
slightly. He’s really sharp.Â
“Reginald, were you even listening to me?”Â
On the main sofa, Nyasia sat with a very unhappy face. Her son,Â
who she was so proud of, was good in every way, except forÂ
being disobedient. He used to make decisions on his own, big orÂ
small, which made Nyasia, as a mother, worry–free.Â
Major life events, she couldn’t just let him have his way like thisÂ
anymore.Â
