Chapter 9 " Adele ! " Spencer's voice shook . He couldn't believe Adelaide would suddenly do something so crazy . Adelaide stepped back , pointing at the door with her other hand . " Take your cake and get out ! " " You're not the type to act on impulse , " Spencer said , his brows furrowed . As soon as he finished speaking , thin trails of blood began to seep from Adelaide's neck . Her face remained expressionless as she asked , " Still think I'm acting on impulse ? " Spencer clenched his teeth , finally giving up . He picked up the cake . " Alright , we'll talk when you calm down . Adele , you'll understand sooner or later . Anyone can hurt or deceive you , but not me . I'll only ever be good to you . " " Get out ! " Adelaide glared at him and growled . The moment he stepped out of the room , she slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside . Adelaide took a few quick , deep breaths to calm herself down . Then she put the knife down and turned to find a band - aid to cover the cut . Chapter 9 If it weren't for Spencer's pushing , she wouldn't have ended up hurting herself . Now , she was more determined than ever to take good care of herself and avoid any messy situations . Once she was sure Spencer had left , she packed all her stuff into the car . She didn't waste a second and drove straight to the Sterling Estates . There were lots of different apartment styles , but when she got to the floor of the apartment Reginald had given her , she realized it wasn't just a regular apartment - it was a big , spacious place with its own elevator . After she moved her things in , she saw Rosecliff Manor on the hillside from the study window . She had a complicated look on her face . Reginald's intentions were way too obvious . After she got everything settled , Adelaide went to the supermarket to pick up some stuff . Then she got in her car and headed to the Valmora Group . She pulled over on the side of the road and called Garrett . The call was answered right away , and his deep , husky voice came through . " Honey . " Adelaide was about to say something when she noticed that Chapter 9 Garrett's voice sounded off . She asked on purpose , " Are you in a meeting ? " " Yeah " Garrett took a deep breath to make his voice sound normal . " I'm afraid I'm gonna be busy today . Can we talk when I get back home tonight ? " Adelaide closed her eyes . The gross stuff she saw last night popped into her head again . She couldn't stand the idea of talking about their divorce right after he had sex with Amanda . She was afraid the smell would make her gag . " Alright , let's talk tonight ." Adelaide quickly hung up the phone , feeling disgusted . Even though her hands weren't dirty , she wiped them hard and deleted the call log from just now . That made her feel a little less gross . When she started the car , she called her bestie Teresa Sampson . " Tess , are you at the store ? I'm coming right over ." At the same time , in Garrett's office . After he was done , he pulled up his pants with a straight face , the lustful look from moments ago completely gone . " Alright , you can go now !" Chapter 9 Amanda's cheeks were flushed , and her eyes were still watery . " Garrett , you're so heartless . You wanna kick me out right after we're done ? " Garrett glanced at her . " As my sister - in - law , you've been in my office for so long . Don't you think people will talk ? If those rumors reach Adele's ears , I won't let you off the hook . " Chapter 10
