Amanda was embarrassed and immediately complained,
“Madam Barnard, I didn’t mean to buy so much. It’s all
Adelaide’s fault…”
Evelyn raised her eyebrows and looked at her coldly, “Did Adele
force you to buy it?”
“I…”
“Mandy, you need to change your bad temper, you’re getting
married soon.”
Amanda’s face was burning hot, “I know, Madam Barnard.”
Left the store, Teresa was laughing so hard that she couldn’t
even stand up straight.
“Hahaha, it was so funny, the only regret is that we didn’t see
the end.”
Adelaide said, “Next time let the manager check the surveillance
cameras.”
Teresa: “Good idea.”

The two of them went to other stores together, browsing
around and finally settled on a birthday gift for Lucas.
After Teresa found out the whole story, she asked a question,
“He probably didn’t consider Spencer as a friend anymore,
right?”
“Should.”
“What would Spencer’s reaction be if he heard that you gave him a birthday gift?”
She never really thought about that.
Teresa said again, “Maybe Lucas will deliberately tell Spencer
that it was from you.”
Adelaide’s eyelid twitched, then she quickly calmed down and
analyzed, “It shouldn’t happen. If Spencer finds out, he will
definitely suspect when did my relationship with Lucas become
so good. Then he will discover our alliance.”
Teresa nodded, “Makes sense, I guess I was overthinking it.”
After shopping, Teresa dropped Adelaide off at Orvenix Group
on her way.
Adelaide got a call from Reginald out of the blue.
“Mr. Thorton?”
Chapter177
“Are you still over at the mall?”
Adelaide felt a bit surprised inside, how did he know again?! On
the surface, she pretended to be calm, “Hmm, just getting ready
to go back to the company!”
“Swan Restaurant, come over here, I drank and can’t drive,”
Reginald’s voice sounded a bit like last night, Adelaide knew he
wasn’t lying.
She was about to mention Nathan when Reginald seemed to
have a crystal ball, saying, “Nathan is busy with something else
and won’t make it in time.”
“Okay, I’m on my way now!” Hanging up the phone, Adelaide
handed the gift to Teresa to hold onto, hopped on a shared bike,
and headed to Swan Restaurant.
She used to come here with Garrett many times, it’s a famous
couple restaurant.
If Reginald ate here…
She had just parked the shared bike when she saw a couple
coming out of the restaurant.
It was Reginald and Laney.
Adelaide took a deep breath, Reginald totally played her!
Chapter177
She got back on the shared bike, trying to turn around and
leave.
“Adelaide!”
Reginald’s voice suddenly rang out.
There were two sharp gazes behind Adelaide, one sharper than
the other.
She gritted her teeth and repositioned the shared bike, walking
over with a stiff neck. Reginald stood straight there, hands in
pockets, staring at her disapprovingly as if to say, Were you
trying to run away just now?
She looked away, then met Laney’s eyes beside her, like a
resentful ghost, wishing she could tear her into pieces.
Laney changed her mind quickly and tried to hold Reginald’s arm, saying, “Reginald, I have a driver. Why bother Ms. Pierce?
She’s not your assistant.”
Her hand came over, Reginald had already walked up to Adelaide and handed her the car keys, saying, “You drive.”
Laney, who was hanging out there, didn’t do a good job of managing her expression for the first time, but because it was in
front of everyone, she had to maintain her composure.
Adelaide took the car keys and asked, “Are we going straight to
Chapter177
Orvenix Group, or should we drop off Ms. Walton on the way?”
