Revenge on My Sister and Ex-Husband (Adelaide) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13

“Dad, think it over. Bye now!” With that, she turned and walked

out.

Finley didn’t stop her.

Outside the study, Adelaide let out a sharp breath.

They forced her into this and tried to use her. She had to stay

ahead of them and strip away whatever value they thought she

had.

Expressionless, she headed upstairs, straight to her room.

The divorce had to wait. First, she had to break away from the

Pierce family. That way, she could make the most of it.

She hoped to cut off both Garrett and the family all at once.

Halfway up the stairs, her phone buzzed.

It was Reginald.

She answered, keeping her voice low. “Hello, Mr. Thorton.”

“Hey, new colleague. Did I catch you at a bad time?” His voice

was slow and teasing like he was having fun with it.

Adelaide blinked, thinking, “Does he talk to everyone like this,

“Nope,” she said evenly. “I don’t start until tomorrow. You’re

jumping the gun.”

“Just getting you used to it.”

She got the feeling this call wasn’t really about anything.

Then suddenly, a moan echoed from the corridor.

Adelaide’s grip tightened on the doorknob. Her eyes snapped

her flushed face toward Adelaide with a smug look.

Adelaide’s breath caught in her throat.

She knew Amanda was waiting for her to push the door open

and lose it, but she didn’t.

Instead, she stayed silent, turned around, and walked away.

Amanda’s eyes turned fierce when she saw this.

“How could this bitch still endure it?” thought Amanda.

Back in the bedroom, Adelaide stood in front of the sink,

bending over and vomiting uncontrollably.

Even though she couldn’t throw up anything, she still felt like

she needed to.

How dare Garrett mess around with Amanda right in the

Pierce’s place!

If all the beautiful memories with Garrett could be turned into

paper, she would shred them all without hesitation.

At that moment, her phone buzzed.

Adelaide leaned against the sink, took out her phone, and saw it

was a message from Reginald.

Chapter 13:

Reginald: “Since I messed up your business, let’s stop dragging it

out. Come out and meet a client with me.”

Adelaide: “Mr. Thorton, I haven’t officially started working yet.”
