Chapter35 Adelaide chuckled , turned and sat on the dining chair . Garrett didn't hesitate , listened in front of her and said , " Dad . " Two seconds later , Garrett's face changed dramatically : " What ? Wasn't the contract signed before ? Okay , I'm coming over right now ." As soon as the phone hung up , Garrett was clearly more flustered than before . He urgently explained , " Honey , my father - in - law just told me that the previous client suddenly backed out . I have to go and sort it out now . Once it's done , I'll come back . Please , don't leave this time . Wait for me to come back and we'll continue our conversation . " " Get lost . " With just two cold words , Garrett didn't catch any other meaning , just responded with a quick " okay " and hurried away . Adelaide was being sarcastic in her heart , and right after Amanda called , Finley said there was a problem with the client . Anyone could see there was a problem . She stood on the balcony , made sure Garrett's car had left the neighborhood , and then she left too . Back at the Sterling Estates , she made herself a bowl of noodles Just as she took a few bites , she received an anonymous text message . She thought it was a delivery message , but when she opened it , her pupils dilated , she immediately put down her phone , covered her mouth , turned around , and rushed into the bathroom to vomit in disgust . After catching her breath , she came out looking pale and picked up her phone again . It's a photo. In the photo , Garrett and Amanda are lying on the bed , hugging each other in red clothes . Amanda smiled proudly at the camera , it was a selfie . Below is the accompanying text , " Adelaide , this time I can totally show off to you , I have completely become Garrett's person . You lost ! " Adelaide turned her phone over and pressed it on the table , closed her eyes , her heart was already completely numb with pain . He said it wasn't his fault , but if he hadn't been so indecisive , how could Finley and Amanda have taken advantage of him ? The scenes she saw weren't just one - sided actions by Amanda , Chapter35 he was also enjoying and even asking for it . It's not that she didn't care about the 22 years of relationship , it's not that she didn't give him a chance , it's that he had already made the choice to push her away long ago . Blocked the number , she wasn't in the mood for dinner anymore . She cleaned up the tableware and then took her tablet and went to Rosecliff Manor alone . Draven seemed to know she was coming , he opened the door before she even rang the bell . He greeted her warmly , " Ms. Pierce , good evening ." " Good evening , Draven , " Adelaide smiled slightly , " Is Mr. Thorton here ? " It's better not to , so she can work overtime and go home by herself . " He's in , Mr. Thorton was still having dinner . Ms. Pierce , come on in ." Adelaide forced a smile and walked in . Inside , she saw Reginald sitting in the living room , leisurely enjoying his lavish dinner . She greeted him , " Mr. Thorton . " " Have you eaten ? " Reginald asked her . " Ate ." Chapter3s " Then just stay with me a little longer and eat some more ." "I'm full . " " You won't explode your stomach even if you eat a few more bites ." Adelaide's heart was numb , is it a matter of bursting or not bursting , she just didn't want to eat . When she wanted to refuse again , Draven had already taken out the tableware . " Ms. Pierce , have a few bites . " Seeing that all the tableware was already set , Adelaide had no choice but to say thank you and sit down . Chapters Chapter36
