Chapter117
“This is totally impossible, and my family is not short of money,
I don’t need you to go out and work yourself to death to earn
money. What I want is a wife, not a money–making machine.”
Adelaide gave a slight smile and reminded him, “Garrett, it’s
time to wake up. We ended a long time ago, and isn’t Amanda
the kind of wife you need? By the way, congratulations in
advance on your upcoming wedding after the New Year.“”

Just now it was intense, Adelaide’s words were like a bucket of
cold water, it chilled him to the bone.
I also woke up.
Garrett refused, “It’s okay to change your mind during the
cooling–off period, Adele. As long as you don’t want to divorce
me, then we won’t divorce. As for Amanda, I will handle it
properly.“”
“Okay?”
Adelaide raised her hand, not giving him a chance to touch.
“Why did you think we could go back in the first place?”
“I don’t believe you can just throw away all those years of our
Chapter117
relationship,” Garrett said firmly and struggling, “Everyone can make mistakes, but not admitting them, that shouldn’t be
forgiven. But I realized my mistake long ago, I want to change, I want to make amends, it’s just that you never gave me a chance, Adele.”
Adelaide stared at him, and from his eyes, she didn’t see any
sincerity after he realized his mistake.
On the contrary, it has been mixed with other impurities.
She smirked and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a chance.”
Garrett’s eyes lit up, unable to contain his excitement: “Really?”
Adelaide said expressionlessly, “After all, your engagement to
Amanda has already been leaked, now the whole Evercrest
knows about it. So if we want to go back to the way things
were, there’s definitely going to be a price to pay.”
“I’m willing to pay any price,” Garrett nodded excitedly.
Adelaide was teasing in her eyes: “There was only one solution
at the time, I cut ties with the Pierce family, and you’re no
longer a Barnard family son. Let’s leave Evercrest together and
start fresh somewhere else, what do you think?”
After saying that, Garrett’s body shook slightly, and he weakly
asked, “Do we have to do it this way?”
Chapter117
His reaction, already gave the answer.
In Adelaide as expected.
Adelaide sneered, “So this is what you said, willing to do
anything at all costs?”
“You misunderstood me,” Garrett explained awkwardly, “My
parents raised me since I was little. If I suddenly cut ties with
them and move to another place, they would definitely be
upset.”
“Adele, listen to me, there must be other solutions besides this
one. Give me some time, I promise I will handle it.””
“Garrett, you’re not reluctant to leave your parents, you’re
reluctant to give up your inheritance,” Adelaide ruthlessly
exposed his true thoughts.
“No, it’s not like that. The Barnard family, stuff was originally
supposed to be split between me and my brother, I…”
“How did your father convince you to come back to the
country?”
“It’s because of you,” Garrett exclaimed urgently. “I couldn’t
stand it when I found out you were with another man.”
“Really?” Adelaide murmured, “You think I don’t know that Sir
Barnard handed over full control of a subsidiary to you?”
Chapter117
Garrett opened his mouth, but couldn’t make a sound.
“Garrett, you’ve been lying to me all this time,” Adelaide’s eyes
were sharp as knives, no lingering, just dead inside. “Don’t bring
up our years of relationship anymore, you really don’t deserve
to talk about the past. You pursue what you want, and now I
have what I want.”
