Chapter 22 Spencer's gaze was dark and fierce , his grip tightening . " Do you think our family wouldn't have Adele's back ? " Garrett's face turned purple . He clutched at Spencer's arm , unable to make a sound . Adelaide looked at the now - open door , then turned back toward them . Seeing Garrett's worsening condition , she finally spoke , " Spencer , are you trying to strangle him to death ? " Only then did Spencer regain his composure and release his hand . He turned toward Adelaide , his face returning to its usual gentle and refined look . " Adele , are you hurt ? " She stepped back , refusing to let him touch her . Behind them , Garrett steadied himself against the wall and protested angrily , " Spencer , this is between me and my wife . Don't you think you're overstepping ? " " Your wife ? " Those words disgusted Spencer . " You're playing with both of my sisters , and you think their big brother shouldn't interfere ? " Garrett gritted his teeth . Chapter 22 " Adele will divorce you . If you say no , I'll make sure you lose the thing you care about most . Don't test me ," Spencer threatened . Garrett clenched his fists . " I won't be scared by that crap . " " Oh yeah ? " Spencer sneered and suddenly turned . " Adele . " Sensing something bad , Garrett immediately blurted out , " Honey , don't listen to his nonsense ! " Adelaide could smell something fishy instantly . She gave a cold laugh , said nothing , and turned to leave . Spencer and Garrett both looked surprised at the same time . " Honey , wait ! " Garrett rushed after her . But Spencer grabbed the back of his collar and slammed him into the wall . His arm pinned across Garrett's neck as he warned , " You've already chosen Mandy " , " I haven't ! " Garrett struggled furiously . " I want to go after my wife ! " " Oh really ? " Spencer sneered . " Did you forget what you promised my father ?" Garrett remained silent . " Given that you will continue to be my brother - in - law , I'll give Chapter 22 you a piece of advice . Do yourself a favor and divorce Adele " Spencer said slowly and clearly . Garrett suddenly calmed down and sneered , " You're just dying for me to divorce Adele so you can have her , aren't you ? Spencer , Adele has always seen you as a brother . Don't you think she'll be disgusted when she finds out how you really feel ? " Spencer narrowed his eyes . " That's none of your concern . All you need to do is divorce Adele and go be with Mandy ." " In your dreams . Adele and I are just having a fight . We promised to spend the rest of our lives together ! " Spencer let out a cold laugh and punched him in the face . Garrett crumpled to the floor at his feet . Spencer looked down arrogantly . " Let's see if you've got what it takes to actually be with her for life . " At Teresa's flower shop . As soon as Adelaide arrived , she collapsed weakly onto the sofa in Teresa's office . After learning she hadn't eaten , Teresa pulled her up and made her join her for a low - calorie meal . " Yeah . " " It blew up ? " " Yeah " Teresa's eyelids twitched as a thought she hated to believe flashed through her mind . " He refused to divorce ? " " Yeah . " " Fuck ! " Teresa was fuming . " Who does he think he is ? Some crown prince ?! Is he trying to keep both women at the same time ? Isn't he afraid of dying in bed from exhaustion ?! " Adelaide was used to Teresa's crude outbursts , though some still made her flinch . " Garrett wouldn't let me go . Then Spencer opened the door and walked in . " " Whoa ! " Teresa's eyes went wide in shock , and after two stunned seconds , something dawned on her . " Hold on , he opened the door and walked in ? It wasn't you who opened the door for him ? "
