Upon hearing this news, Adelaide was taken aback.Â
She glared at him through gritted teeth and said, “Are youÂ
shameless?”Â
Spencer sighed, “Adele, I had no choice. I couldn’t just stand byÂ
and watch Reginald play you like a fiddle.”Â
Reluctantly, he finally admitted, “I knew you still liked Garrett,Â
right?”Â
Adelaide didn’t bother to talk anymore, she pushed him away,Â
got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove off.Â
Spencer stood still calmly until the tail lights were completelyÂ
out of sight, then he turned around and got in the car.Â
He took out his phone and kept using the bank app.Â
I kept transferring money until it said Today’s limit reached.Â
I was waiting at the traffic lights in Adelaide, and my phoneÂ
kept making ding ding sounds. I was puzzled, so I picked it upÂ
and found out it was actually a transfer record.Â
Three times two million.Â
The last time he added a transfer message: Adele, the phone canÂ
only transfer that much for now. I will have my assistantÂ
transfer another four million to you when I get back.Â
Adelaide took a deep breath and just tossed her phone onto theÂ
passenger seat.Â
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Adelaide was busy sketchingÂ
when Mara suddenly came over and said, “Ms. Pierce, you haveÂ
to see this.”Â
She tilted her head over.Â
When I saw the trending topic, I was shocked.Â
“Trending topic! The Hicks Group evaded inspection at the port, transporting a batch of substandard materials!”Â
“Trending topic! The Hicks Group was reported for tax evasion,Â
and authorities are now investigating!”Â
“Trending topic! Finley and Spencer were taken away by theÂ
police!”Â
“Ms. Pierce, your family had such a big thing happen, do youÂ
want to ask for time off to go back and see?” Mara kindlyÂ
reminded her.Â
The outside world had no idea that Adelaide and the PierceÂ
family were on the verge of falling out, so Mara’s concern is notÂ
surprisingÂ
She had sharp eyes and saw that the Hicks Group’s ship wasÂ
intercepted at the port owned by the Thorton family.Â
So this must have been done by ReginaldÂ
“Yeah, I’m going to ask for leave now” With that, she got up andÂ
went to find NathanÂ
Nathan wasn’t surprised when she came over he took theÂ
initiative and said, “Ms. Pierce, just go straight in, Mr. Thorton isÂ
pretty free right now”Â
This morning Reginald didn’t show up at the company, he andÂ
Nathan arrived half an hour ago.Â
“Okay”Â
“If you don’t see Mr. Thorton, he’s probably in the back room,Â
just go straight in”Â
Adelaide hesitated for a moment, then entered the inner room.Â
This doesn’t seem right.Â
She was about to beat around the bush, but found Nathan hadÂ
already gone busy with his own stuffÂ

No way, she had to just bite the bullet and hope Reginald wasn’tÂ
in the inner room.Â
Seeing no one inside, Adelaide’s features froze for a brief threeÂ
seconds.Â
What you fear will come to you.Â
Found a secret door, Adelaide stood in front of it, and found thatÂ
the secret door was slightly ajar.Â
She had a feeling for some reason.Â

Reginald was just waiting for her to come find him.Â
She didn’t go in directly, but instead she cautiously and politelyÂ
knocked on the door, “Mr. Thorton?”Â
No one responded.Â
She shouted again at a higher volume, but still no oneÂ
responded.Â
If Nathan hadn’t said he was inside, she would have definitelyÂ
turned around and left.Â
Reluctantly, she pushed open the secret door and went inside.Â
