“She approached Reginald to get back at me for betraying her.”Â
Cornelius wanted to pinch himself or take a quick–acting heart pill right away. He must have done something terrible in his past life to have such a stupid child. He angrily pointed at Garrett’s face and said, “From now on, you have no relationship with Adelaide. Don’t let me hear this again. Otherwise – get out of the Barnard family, don’t be my son!”Â
After listening to Adelaide’s nearly 48–hour ordeal, Teresa hasÂ
cursed Garrett and Amanda’s ancestors up to the eighteenthÂ
generation.Â
“Can they be completely locked down?” she gritted her teeth.Â
“I could, but before being locked up, either Amanda goes to jailÂ
or I cut ties with the Pierce family.” Adelaide wasn’t just talking,Â
Teresa even got her a good lawyer in no time.Â
She quickly took a shower, drove to the hospital, and had aÂ
detailed chat with the lawyer on the way. Since she wasÂ
introduced by someone, the lawyer worked very efficiently. After drafting the lawyer’s letter and letting her review it, he immediately informed the Pierce family over there.Â

Reginald needed to have an IV drip because his face was tooÂ
swollen.Â
So I moved into the hospital ward.Â
Before Adelaide went up, she bought some gifts for Reginald. When she walked into the single ward, she saw Reginald sitting by the bed, his left hand wrapped up like a rice dumpling and a drip bag hanging.Â
If you look closely, the man’s face seemed a bit pale, with a hint of fatigue between his eyebrows. It’s like he’s only been gone for one night, but his chin has become sharper.Â
Putting aside a hint of guilt and pity, she called out, “Mr.Â
Thorton.”Â
Reginald raised his eyelids and saw that she was not idle withÂ
her hands, and chuckled, “So extravagant?”Â
Knowing he was joking, Adelaide blushed slightly, put downÂ
the things, but the fruit was placed on the bedside table. “Mr.Â
Thorton, do you need help peeling a mangosteen?”Â
“Yeah, sure.” Reginald closed his phone, leaning his head againstÂ
the wall. “Congratulations, the divorce is finalized.”Â
“Thanks for your help, Mr. Thorton,” Adelaide handed him theÂ
peeled mangosteen, looking serious, “But… actually, I could haveÂ
dodged it even if you didn’t intervene.”Â
Chapter191Â
As soon as the words fell, Reginald suddenly grabbed her wrist.Â
When she was still unsure what he was going to do in Adelaide, he suddenly pulled her arm to the side.Â
“Ah!” Adelaide screamed.Â
Reginald squinted his eyes and said, “Can you dodge this?”Â
Adelaide was suddenly speechless.Â
He let go of her wrist, took the mangosteen from her hand, and Reginald calmly ate it. “So good, how come you didn’t try toÂ
escape when we passed by two rest areas on the way?”Â
“Found it.”Â
“Huh?”Â
“Climbed through the window, who knew someone so wickedÂ
had two black dogs behind the toilet window.”Â

“The second service station was too crowded, I couldn’t evenÂ
escape from the window. He stared at me too intensely.”Â
Reginald looked mysterious, with a slight smile on his lips, “PeelÂ
another one.”Â
“Okay!” Adelaide kept peeling the mangosteen for him.Â
Chapter191Â
When she peeled the fourth one, Adelaide’s phone rang, it was aÂ
call from the lawyer. She got up and said, “Mr. Thorton, I need toÂ
take this call.”Â
Reginald didn’t say anything, just watched her leave.Â
“Ms. Pierce, the Pierce family wants to see you.”Â
“What did they say after receiving the lawyer’s letter?”Â
“They said we’re all family, said you were just in a bad mood, told me not to take your case.””Â
