Revenge on My Sister and Ex-Husband (Adelaide) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Hearing this, Adelaide abruptly looked up at him.

She finally noticed that he was in a bad mood.

“Since we’re not meeting the client now, should I get out of the

car?” Adelaide asked.

Reginald leaned his arm on the car window, rested his face on

his hand, and said casually, “Ms. Pierce, do you remember the

extra terms of the agreement?”

Adelaide kept her cool and said, “Yeah, I remember. But Mr.

Thorton, you just said we’ll meet the client another day!‘

“We’ll meet the client another day, but I didn’t say there aren’t

other plans for you.”

Adelaide was kind of speechless. “Then what else do you want,

Mr. Thorton?”

“Sit properly.”

Adelaide didn’t understand what he was going to do but could

only obey. She sat properly by the car door. At that moment,

her phone rang. She took it out. It was Garrett calling.

Reginald said in a deep voice, “No phone calls in my car. Not for

anyone.””

Adelaide was silent. She simply muted her phone and put it

back in her pocket.

Even if he hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t have answered.

“Are you going to show up at Orvenix Group tomorrow with a

swollen face?” Reginald teased.

“I’ll ice it when I get back and put on makeup tomorrow,”

Adelaide said.

Reginald insisted, “Do you need me to come over and hold your

hand, or are you going to walk in yourself?”

Adelaide was kind of speechless. Again, under Reginald’s

After all, she knew Reginald could do whatever he wanted.

Once inside, the butler, Draven Rowe, brought over the ice pack

he had prepared earlier. Reginald tilted his chin. “Give it to her.”

Adelaide took the ice pack. “Thanks.”

Draven smiled, “Don’t mention it.” With that, he took the

servants and left, giving them some space.

Adelaide held the ice pack and applied it silently, trying to

figure out how to get out of there.

“When are you getting a divorce?” Reginald suddenly asked.

Adelaide paused at the words.

His eyes narrowed a bit, and a cold smile crept onto his face.

“You haven’t figured out the divorce, Adelaide? If so, why are
