Chapter130Â
Adelaide, who was standing across from them, roughlyÂ
understood the gist of their argument. She took back her phoneÂ
and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t know about your relationship.Â
But you misunderstood, adding me on WhatsApp doesn’t meanÂ
anything else. How about this, Ethen, if there’s any message,Â
please have someone deliver it to Aroma Flowers.”Â
She looked guilty as sin in Alice’s eyes.Â
“You were exposed by me, so now you’re feeling guilty, right?”Â
“Alice, you’ve had enough!” Ethen warned her.Â
“Where did I say wrong? She deliberately asked you out to addÂ
WhatsApp. She has always been supported by the Pierce familyÂ
and has never worked. How could she have a boss? AnybodyÂ
with a bit of brains can tell that this is a poor excuse. You justÂ
think she’s pretty and got mesmerized by her.”Â
“You shut up!” Ethen’s face turned pale and then green.Â
“Why should I shut up!” Alice was completely furious.Â
Adelaide knew she was wrong, but hearing those words stillÂ
made her feel a bit uncomfortable in her heart.Â
Chapter130Â
She patiently explained again, “Alice, sorry, I really didn’t knowÂ
about your relationship with Ethen. And also, I was just looking for Ethen for something urgent, that’s all.”Â
“Haha, that’s funny,” Alice Benton complained, glaring at her. “Ethen just returned to the country and you already have anÂ
urgent matter. Are you deliberately looking for him? You’re theÂ
Pierce family’s daughter, what urgent matter could youÂ
possibly have that they can’t help with, and you have to findÂ
Ethen!”Â
“Oh, by the way, didn’t you say you have a boss just now? WhyÂ
don’t you ask your boss for help? Adelaide, your despicableÂ
means, men may not understand, but I do!”Â
“You’ve had enough! What are you going crazy for?” Ethen feltÂ
like he had lost all face, even though he grabbed Alice’s arm atÂ
that moment, he still couldn’t stop her from getting angry.Â
The more he spoke up for Adelaide, the angrier Alice got.Â
“Ethen, she was looking for you, you must have felt so good!”Â
“You…!”Â
“Ethen, you jerk!” Alice yelled, her eyes red, and immediatelyÂ
raised her hand.Â
Adelaide was quick on the draw, grabbing the hand she wasÂ
about to hit.Â

Almost at the same time, her arm was grabbed by another handÂ
that suddenly appeared.Â
Adelaide suddenly turned her head.Â
What came into view was Reginald’s gloomy face.Â
“…..Mr. Thorton,” she said nervously.Â
“Ms. Pierce, why are you greeting old classmates in such aÂ
unique way?” Reginald asked, his tone icy.Â
“There was a misunderstanding.” Adelaide is really sorry, sheÂ
had sent a WhatsApp message to Reginald before coming toÂ
explain that she was just going to say hi to an old classmate andÂ
then come back.Â
Who would have thought, such a blunder would happen.Â
At that moment, when Ethen and Alice saw Reginald, theyÂ
were totally dumbfounded.Â
Reginald let go of Adelaide’s hand, his cold eyes staring at AliceÂ
like knives, “I’m Adelaide’s boss.”Â
After hearing that, they looked shocked.Â
Reginald was Adelaide’s boss…Â
Alice was hiding behind Ethen, looking around fearfully,Â
Chapter130Â
avoiding direct eye contact with Reginald.Â
Seeing her hiding, Reginald didn’t give in at all, “Just now youÂ
doubted Adelaide didn’t have a boss?”Â
“III…….Ethen, help me.” Alice was almost crying.Â
Reginald’s reputation at Evercrest was off the charts, evenÂ
though his face was rarely seen online, everyone knew him.Â
Ethen was sweating bullets and his heart was pounding like a drum. But he had to speak up for Alice, “Mr. Thorton, this is a misunderstanding.”Â
