Chapter42
“Sir Barnard promised me that he would personally escort me to the courthouse to get our marriage license in a month, and he also said he would compensate me.”
Teresa was silent for two seconds, then said, “I remember you said Sir Barnard and Madam Barnard were very friendly, they would still think of you at this time, it’s hard to imagine how
people like them could have raised someone like Garrett.”

Long ago, Adelaide said, “It’s a genetic mutation.”
Teresa originally wanted to congratulate her bestie for getting
rid of that jerk, but then she thought about all those years of
relationship and suddenly felt sorry for her.
“Adele, do you want to move in with me for a while?”
“This period won’t be peaceful, I don’t want to disrupt your life.
Don’t worry, I’m staying at the Sterling Estates where no one
knows, very safe.”
Teresa thought that was a place arranged by Reginald, so it
must be safer than here. After all, now not only Garrett is after
Adelaide, but also the eldest son of the Pierce family.
She faced the car window, hands clasped together, “I hope they
Chapter42
lock them up for good, so they can’t harm Adele anymore.”
Adelaide gave a relieved smile.
Yeah, everything went smoothly.
These days felt like centuries to her, exhausting and torturous,
like she had been stripped of a layer of skin. Hopefully the
upcoming cooling–off period will go smoothly. Let her
completely break up with Garrett, then stay away from them
and live her life alone.
At that moment, Teresa thought of something and turned her
face to ask, “Adele, who is the person you asked me to find? Is he
reliable?”
Talking about this, Adelaide definitely nodded and said, “Yeah,
reliable. I bet Amanda will be completely shocked when she
realizes who he is.“”
“How did you find him?”
“It wasn’t me who found him, he came to me on his own.“”
That was half a month before we got married.
She was busy arranging the final decorations for her new home when a delivery man showed up at her door. He took off his
mask and introduced himself as Leonard Owens, Amanda’s
man on the side. Adelaide wasn’t interested in that kind of thing
Chapter42
and didn’t plan on getting involved.
The man insisted on telling her all the details about Amanda’s
quirks in bed, and even showed off his scars. She almost called
the police, thinking Leonard was bothering her because he
couldn’t find Amanda for revenge.
Who would have thought it was Leonard who found out that
Amanda didn’t want him, and he wanted to ask her for help. At
that time, she was only thinking about her wedding with
Garrett, so she politely declined. Leonard didn’t insist, but before
leaving, he told her where he lived. He welcomed her to come
find him anytime.
Leonard’s card, Adelaide was planning to save it for last. By the
time the evening came, the divorce was already a done deal. She
just didn’t want to let Amanda off the hook easily, so she sent
Teresa to find Leonard.
After rejecting Teresa’s company, she drove Teresa back and
then drove herself back to the Sterling Estates.
When she was in the elevator, she just leaned against the wall,
and her pent–up emotions were slowly being released.
Until her phone rang, it was an anonymous call.
Her intuition told her, It’s either Amanda or Garrett.
Chapter 42
She chose to answer.
“Adele,” a familiar voice came through the phone, sounding
bleak and lifeless.
Adelaide clenched her fist, tears already filling her eyes. “Is
there anything else?”
