ought here by the Pierce family, he hadn’t even looked at everyone in the hospital room yet, he just focused his gaze on Adelaide.Â
He had his mouth open, with his hand pointing at Adelaide.Â
The whole person started to get excited.Â
He rushed up to Adelaide, looking her up and down, left andÂ
right, “Like, totally looks like! She’s like a spitting image of myÂ
sister!”Â
“Are you Adelaide? I’m your uncle, Franklin, your uncle!”Â
Franklin was wearing a nearly washed–out gray suit jacket,Â
with dark skin, a diagonal scar on his right eye, a buzz cut,Â
looking like a street thug.Â
He couldn’t contain his excitement, grabbing Adelaide’s armsÂ
with both hands and shaking them vigorously, “Call me uncle,Â
come on, call me uncle.”Â
Julius thought Adelaide must have been scared, so he kindlyÂ
said, “Sir, you scared Ms. Pierce.”Â
Franklin’s eyes were like a snake’s, and he said unhappily, “WhoÂ
Chapter196Â
do you think you are, interrupting our family reunion.”Â
Adelaide quickly calmed down, raised her hands, struggled toÂ
break free from Franklin’s grip, “Are you sure I’m your niece?”Â
“Of course, damn right. You’re practically cut from the sameÂ
cloth as my own sister, you’re definitely her biologicalÂ
daughter.” The tone was rough and vulgar, full of street talk.Â
“Okay, just wait for me to take care of some personal matters,Â
then we’ll go do a paternity test later.” Adelaide didn’t believeÂ
that Finley was her son just because Franklin said she lookedÂ
? exactly like him.Â
Especially at this critical moment.Â
Franklin felt really uncomfortable with the way he was beingÂ
cold to his niece, but he decided to hold back for now,Â
considering that the Pierce family was wealthy and his nieceÂ
was so pretty.Â
Adelaide knew this was a good deal by Finley, but she wouldn’tÂ
miss this opportunity.Â
“Adele, why don’t you reunite with your uncle first. We canÂ
talk about this later,” Finley smiled kindly.Â
“No, things have to be done in order after all.” Adelaide won’t beÂ
fooled,” Dad, this is just a matter of one word from you. HaveÂ
you made up your mind?”Â
Chapter196Â
Finley regretted, “Adele, even though you’re not my biologicalÂ
daughter, I’ve always treated you as my own. I can’t cut ties, IÂ
just can’t do it.”Â
“What? Cut ties?” Franklin got angry on the spot, staring atÂ
Adelaide, “You want to cut ties with the Pierce family? CutÂ
what ties, are you out of your mind? Leaving behind a fortune,Â
not enjoying wealth and prosperity?”Â
If you could see the calculations he was making in his head, I betÂ
he would have already exploded in Adelaide’s face by now.Â
No matter if he was really my uncle or not.Â
Based on his reaction now, Adelaide was sure he wasn’t a goodÂ
person.Â
Adelaide stayed calm: “Right now I can’t be sure if you’re reallyÂ
my uncle, so you have no right to interfere in my affairs. Mr.Â
Larsen, please stay out of this.”Â
Franklin’s eye twitched, and he rolled up his sleeves, “Such a badÂ
temper.”Â
At this moment, Finley stepped forward and advised, “Mr.Â
Larsen, take it easy!”Â
Franklin was all smiles at him, after all, he was a cash cow. HeÂ
looked at Finley, then pointed to Adelaide, saying, “Sir Pierce, IÂ
hope she hasn’t been playing tricks like this in the Pierce familyÂ
Chapter 196Â
all these years. Even though she’s not your own flesh and blood,Â
as the saying goes, raising a child is more important than givingÂ
birth to one.”Â
