“Alright, shut your little mouth.”Â
“I don’t really want to get serious, just playing around is fine. Anyway, for now, you have to rely on this big mountain.”Â
“So quickly turned back, Reginald found out, probably cried toÂ
death.”Â
“What, are you going to be a traitor too?”Â
“I may betray anyone, but I will never betray you, unlike you,”Â
Adelaide snorted.Â
Teresa kept acting cute.Â
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked back toÂ
the apartment.Â
The next day, she still had Teresa’s loving breakfast.Â
She went to work as usual, but who would have thought thatÂ
when she opened the door, Reginald was standing outside.Â
She was startled: “Mr. Thorton?”Â
Teresa, who heard a voice, poked her head out of the kitchenÂ
and said, “Oh, good morning, Mr. Thorton. Have you hadÂ
Chapter150Â
breakfast?”Â
“I ate, thanks to Ms. Sampson’s kindness.” Then he changed the subject, “People from Adelaide are lurking outside the Sterling Estates. Today you’re coming with me to Orvenix Group, as for Ms. Sampson, Nathan is taking her to the flower shop.”Â
Upon hearing this, Adelaide and Teresa both had a change ofÂ
expression.Â
From Reginald’s expression, Adelaide felt like it wasn’t just aÂ
simple stakeout.Â
She asked, “A lot?”Â
Reginald smirked, “I should probably snatch you back to the Pierce family.”Â
Adelaide thought the Pierce family must have had somethingÂ
happen.Â
But going back was impossible.Â
Before leaving with Reginald, she reminded Teresa to send aÂ
message every hour. After all, Spencer currently has peopleÂ
watching Teresa’s every move 24 hours a day, he could do something drastic like taking Teresa away and forcing her toÂ
return to the Pierce family.Â
The car drove out of the Sterling Estates.Â
Chapter 150Â
She stared outside coldly and indeed saw several cars parked onÂ
the roadside, a few people squatting on the curb, and a manÂ
making a phone call.Â
With such a big commotion, the Pierce family was very likely toÂ
have had an accident.Â
“Don’t worry,” Reginald said as he ruffled her hair with his rightÂ
hand, “I won’t take you away.”Â
Adelaide’s heart felt like it was hit by something in an instant, aÂ
bit heavy and a bit tingly.Â
Reginald said again, “I’ve already had Nathan arrange forÂ
someone to guard Ms. Sampson’s place, so you don’t need toÂ
worry about it.”Â
His promise did make Adelaide feel a lot more at ease, but sheÂ
was still feeling confused and anxious inside.Â
She was nervous, wondering if Spencer had confessed to FinleyÂ
that he had feelings for her.Â
If so, that means she’s going to face new troubles again.Â
Adelaide was silent, Reginald stopped talking, let her digest itÂ
herself.Â
Because it was Monday, hardly saw Reginald and Nathan allÂ
morning. Mara told her, Mondays are always their busiest time.Â
Chapter150Â
Adelaide and the team were busy too, having meetings, taking on new projects, and even going on field visits in the afternoon.Â
The fulfilling feeling made her temporarily forget about theÂ
morning’s events.Â
She took a quick break to go to the bathroom and chatted withÂ
Teresa for a bit.Â
Back in the office, she was surprised to find Laney sitting at herÂ
desk.Â
Definitely came to find Reginald, but there were so many placesÂ
to sit, and I just had to sit at her desk.Â
That was… coming towards her.Â
Adelaide started to have a headache again, troubles just keepÂ
coming, it’s overwhelming.Â
Colleagues were still giving her the eye like crazy, telling her toÂ
make a move.Â
But it was too late.Â
Laney saw her and waved, saying, “Ms. Pierce, you’re back.”Â
