Chapter34 He was afraid that divorce would affect his good image in front of his father , thus affecting his inheritance . Maybe he really didn't want to end this relationship , but he knew that if Amanda played any tricks again , he would still be fooled . If there's a crack , there's a crack , she couldn't bring herself to be soft . And now , his touch , she's starting to feel nauseous . Taking a deep breath , she said , " I've told you before , my bottom line in a relationship is no cheating , not even emotional cheating ." Garrett was on the verge of breaking down , " I wasn't joking with you . I just want to be with you for the rest of my life . I won't agree to a divorce . I haven't fulfilled every promise I made to you yet , we … " " Really ? By cheating , haven't you already broken this promise ? Then what's the point of the rest of your promises ? " Adelaide coldly interrupted him , sarcastically . " This can't be all my fault , it's your father scheming against me ." " What ? " Garrett spilled everything : " There was a client I couldn't close before , and it looked like my brother was about to steal them away . Your father secretly helped me out , but he asked me to have dinner with Amanda . I thought it was just a meal , I would eat and then come back quickly . But I didn't expect … I admit I was weak - willed and confused at that time ." After hearing this , Adelaide felt like her blood had turned to ice . She always thought it was Amanda playing tricks , who would have thought it was Finley who was the real culprit , and even helped her design it ! " Wife , everything I said is true . If there is one word that's false , you can call me a dead man ." He raised his hand and swore , proving his credibility . " Wife ? " " Don't touch me ! " Garrett wanted to say something nice , but his phone rang at that moment . As soon as Amanda walked in , he frowned in disgust and tried to put his phone in his pocket . Adelaide sarcastically remarked , " Answer it , she might be trying to commit suicide again ." " Wife , you have to believe me . I really explained it to her , and whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me ," Garrett said firmly , while Adelaide remained expressionless , leaving him at a loss . " Wife , can't you trust me for once ? " Trust ? Adelaide felt like every time that word came out of his mouth , it tainted the word . " The things at the police station , Mr. Barnard should not have forgotten , right ? " Garrett went silent . She continued , " What were you advising me back then , to apologize and give in , right ? " " That's because I knew you care about the Pierce family , you definitely wouldn't cut ties with them ," Garrett explained eagerly . " When your mother - in - law said those words , I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable , so I let you apologize first . But I didn't mean to take Amanda's side , I really did it for you . " " Haha , should I thank you ? " Adelaide mocked . The Adelaide in front of Garrett was like nothing he had ever seen before , cold and distant . His inner turmoil was being magnified infinitely , as if Adelaide was drifting further and further away from him . He wanted to use the good memories they once had to win her back , but his phone rang and stopped . Garrett impatiently took out his phone and was about to furn it off . Who would have thought that this time it was Finley calling . He paused and said to Adelaide , " It's not Amanda , it's your father ."
