Chapter50 Abigail from across the street looked tense , obviously didn't expect her to come for real ! Soon , Nathan's voice came from the phone , " Ms. Pierce ? " " I bumped into Ms. Murray in the hotel underground parking lot , she seemed to be looking for Mr. Thorton in a hurry . But I drove away Mr. Thorton's car , now she's on my case , which is making it impossible for me to work properly " Abigail stared with wide eyes : " ??? " Nathan : " Ms. Pierce , please wait , I'll handle it right away ! " " The call dropped , and Abigail was furious again , " Didn't you say to call the police ? Why did you call Reginald's assistant instead !? " Adelaide shrugged , " Didn't you say this is Eldoria , not Evercrest ? I took your advice , calling the police did me no good ." -- " No way ! Why would she do something so obedient ?! Abigail tilted her head and pointed to Adelaide when her phone rang . She picked it up and saw it was her father calling . Reluctantly , she answered , " Dad . " Chapter50 Even though they were sitting across the table , Adelaide could still faintly hear Evan's reprimanding voice on the phone . Abigail just pursed her lips and nodded in response . Once the call ended , she glared at Adelaide and said , " You're tough ! " Adelaide's braised noodles were served , without even looking up she said , " Enjoy . " Abigail stomped her foot and walked away in a huff . He asked in a low voice , " Has she left ? " His voice didn't sound too happy . " Just left , " Adelaide said , " Ms. Murray must have had something urgent to talk to Mr. Thorton about . " " I didn't work with her , so why would she come to me for anything , " Reginald said angrily , " I've never even met her in person ." After saying that , he issued a warning : " No daydreaming allowed ! " She didn't seem to overthink , did she ? When she picked up the pasta , she smiled and said , " How can we , as subordinates , casually speculate about the boss's private life ? Mr. Thorton , rest assured , I'm not thinking too much . " Just as I finished speaking , there was a busy tone on the other end . was really fast . After finishing the braised noodles , Adelaide drove to the piece of land nearby and took a stroll . She parked the car , walked around , and took photos of useful buildings nearby . Until she passed by a coffee shop , she walked in , ordered a cup of coffee , and sat down by the floor - to - ceiling window . While waiting , she started organizing the photos . " Hi , hello ." When a lively and cheerful male voice rang out , Adelaide blinked , looked up , and saw a boy with a sunny university student face standing in front of her . She probably guessed what was going on and politely asked , " Is everything okay ? " The boy's eyes were burning , holding his phone , and eagerly asked , " Can I add you on WhatsApp ? I don't mean any harm , just … want to be friends with you ." Back in the day , it was always Garrett who handled stuff like this , she didn't even get a chance to speak up . Adelaide gave a polite smile , about to speak , when suddenly a chair was pulled up next to her . Then , a tall figure sat down , casually draping an arm over the back of Adelaide's chair . " At such a young age , instead of studying , why are you asking people for WhatsApp everywhere ? " Reginald had a terrifying aura , with a cold and fierce expression , like a sleeping beast about to unleash its anger . The boy was scared stiff on the spot , " Sorry , sorry , sorry ." After bowing deeply , the boy ran away .
