Chapter45 Upon hearing this , Teresa exclamied happily , " Business trip is great ! I bet the Pierce family will definitely bother you these days . Going on a business trip is like escaping from them . " Adelaide was thinking the same way , she really hadn't been dealing with them these days , just wanted some peace and quiet . Teresa encouraged , " Just relax and shake off the bad luck ." Adelaide started to worry again , " What if they find you ? " " Don't worry , I got this . If they really mess with me , I'll just invite them to the police station for a cup of tea ." With Teresa's comfort , Adelaide felt a lot better . When she came out of the shower , her bank account had an extra twenty million , along with a message from Cornelius . " Adele , this twenty million is compensation from the Barnard family , you should take it . As for that guy , even though he has run away , I promise you , once the cooling - off period is over , I will catch him and take him to the courthouse . " Adelaide sadly turned down the corners of her mouth . Chapter45 She kept saying on the phone that he was childish , but isn't running away like that also childish behavior ? Adelaide knew the Barnard family would come and get him , so he didn't really care about it . She said Thank you , Sir Barnard and then put her phone on silent before going to bed . The next day . Adelaide packed her bags early , Nathan told her to come straight to Rosecliff Manor , and they went to the airport together . She dragged her suitcase over there and from a distance she saw Draven and Nathan standing outside . And the ugly look on their faces . She walked up and couldn't help but ask curiously , " Draven , Mr. Hurst , good morning , what's going on ? " They didn't say anything , looking a bit awkward . Seeing this , Adelaide realized something and smiled , waving her hand , " I was just asking casually , didn't really want to know ! " Draven shook his head , " It's nothing , just … " Chapter45 " What are you all doing here ? " Reginald suddenly appeared , Draven immediately fell silent , and even gave Adelaide a discreet wink . Adelaide nodded slightly , pretending to be nonchalant . But soon she was drawn to Reginald's appearance . The man was wearing a dark gray coat , and as he walked down , the hem of his coat swayed gently , revealing his narrow waist . His light - colored shirt was unbuttoned at the top , showing a hint of his chest muscles . He was like a walking hormone . Reginald stopped in front of her , a faint scent of incense wafting into her nostrils . … burning incense , yeah , she smelled this scent the first time she met Reginald . It's very subtle , you have to get closer to smell it . Feeling someone's deep gaze , Adelaide snapped back to reality without a trace , " Mr , Thorton , good morning . " Reginald carefully looked into her eyes and said , " Looks good , no swelling ." Adelaide looked suspicious when she heard this , why would Chapter45 her eyes swell ? " Let's go , to the airport . " Reginald got in the car , Nathan took her suitcase and put it in the trunk . Draven took the opportunity to whisper to her what he hadn't finished saying earlier : " Mr. Thorton just got an unpleasant phone call earlier . I was worried he might cancel the business trip last minute . But now it seems like it's not a big deal . Goodbye , Ms. Pierce ." " Oh , I see , " Adelaide nodded slightly , " Goodbye , Draven . " " She bent down and sat in the back seat , catching a glimpse of the man's deep profile , with a clearly visible high nose bridge . But just for a moment , Reginald quickly concealed his gloomy expression , and when she looked again , it was completely gone . Chapters Chapter46
