Chapter 14 These words made Adelaide feel sick . She held back her emotions . " That's quite a pity . You guys haven't made it to the last step yet . " " It's just a matter of time , " Amanda said confidently . " I can make Garrett never touch you again and only remember me ." Adelaide scoffed inwardly , " Let Garrett touch me ? Not a chance . Does he even deserve it ? " Taking a deep breath , Adelaide used her last bit of calm to reply , " Well , good luck to you . " Seeing that she still remained unmoved , Amanda completely lost her patience . " Garrett only loves me . He is mine . He won't change his mind and come back to you ! " " Got it ," Adelaide said , her voice flat and emotionless . " Dad and Spencer have tried talking you out of it , Adelaide . Don't be so stubborn ! " Amanda called out sharply as she walked out of the bathroom . " Believe it or not , I'll hurt myself right now ! " These words successfully made Adelaide stop in her tracks and turn around . Amanda stood there with a smug grin , holding a folding knife in her hand . Her right wrist , originally bandaged , was now pressed against the blade with her right hand . She was almost manic . " You are scared , aren't you ? If I hurt myself here , I can frame you for it . When our family and Garrett get here , what do you think they'll think ? " This crazy woman ! Adelaide was extremely irritated . She knew Amanda could really do it . But she wasn't about to let Amanda control her . She stared coldly at Amanda and said , " Garrett won't let go , so you have to come to me , right ? " Amanda's smug look twisted into anger . " No ! It's you who's clinging to Garrett and won't let go ! " Adelaide was kind of speechless . " If he wanted a divorce , why didn't he bring it up with me ? " Amanda was grinding her teeth in anger . " Amanda , I meant what I said last night . If you can get Garrett to divorce me , you'll be the real winner . " As Adelaide spoke , she sneaked right up in front and grabbed Amanda's right hand to stop her from hurting herself . Chapter 14 For a second , Amanda almost believed her . But Amanda reacted at once . She burst into laughter , " Adelaide , you're scared I'll hurt myself and drag you down with me , aren't you ? " Adelaide's brows knitted together . Then , out of nowhere , Amanda let go and dropped the folding knife . " Self - harm isn't just about cutting my wrists , right ? " A wave of dread washed over Adelaide . She instinctively grabbed Amanda's hand , but Amanda bent down and bit her . She yelped , and then Amanda sprinted past her . Almost instantly , a thud and Amanda's scream rang out . Seeing this , Adelaide froze . She really underestimated how nuts Amanda could be ! She was about to step forward when Jeanette and others walked in . When Jeanette saw Amanda's bleeding forehead , she shrieked , " Mandy ! What happened to you ? " Spencer glanced at Amanda , gave Adelaide a meaningful look , Chapter 14 and shouted to the butler , " Go call a doctor ! " Amanda's head was spinning . Lying in Jeanette's arms , she looked at Adelaide weakly . Because of her gaze , everyone blamed Adelaide for hurting her . Jeanette's eyes turned red . " Adelaide ! How dare you hurt Amanda ? " Garrett and Finley , coming from the study , happened to hear Jeanette's words . Garrett rushed in , saw Amanda's bloody head , and stepped in front of Adelaide without thinking . " Adele , did you do this ? " he questioned . His doubt hurt Adelaide badly . Even if he had betrayed her , they had known each other for 22 years . How could he doubt her ? Her silence made Garrett think she admitted it .
