Chapter49
Adelaide’s first reaction was Reginald’s pursuer.
Just this face, she seemed like she hadn’t seen at Evercrest. But
she knew it was Reginald’s car, so they must know each other,
she just hadn’t seen him before.
She said, “This was Mr. Thorton’s car that he lent me.“”
The moment she heard that, the woman got angry: “No way!
Reginald hates it when anyone touches his stuff.”
Soon, she squinted at Adelaide and asked in a row, “Did you
come to Eldoria with Reginald? Who are you to him? Why did
he lend you his car?”
For her, any woman who can drive Reginald’s car is a very
dangerous signal.
From her reaction, it was pretty clear that he was the one
chasing after her.
Her intuition told her, Don’t get involved, it’s for the best.
She spotted a security guard patrolling not far away, so she
waved and said, “Hey, can you help me out?”

Two security guards immediately ran over. Adelaide took out her key card to prove she was a hotel guest and said, “I need to go out now. This lady is blocking me and I’m in a hurry. Please
handle it.”
The woman was still wondering why the security guard was looking for her. When she found out it was for her, she
immediately got emotional and exclaimed, “Hey, you!”
The conversation wasn’t finished yet, but two security guards
had already pulled her aside.
Adelaide drove away smoothly.
The woman was furious: “Run, I’ll show you how I catch you!”

lunchtime so there weren’t many people.
She ordered her meal and then just found a seat to sit down.
Who would have thought that the persistent woman would be
sitting across from her the next second.
Adelaide:
The woman lifted her chin, looking particularly proud, as if

showing off: I told you to run!
Adelaide just acted like she was air, ignoring everything.
“I’m Abigail Murray, Evan is my dad,” the woman suddenly
introduced herself, “Your turn to speak.”
She still had to do a self–introduction.
But Adelaide was still shocked for two seconds when she found
out she was Evan’s daughter.
She didn’t mean it that way, she simply replied, “Adelaide, the
architect of Mr. Thorton’s team.”
“No way! You were never on Reginald’s team in the first place!”
Abigail insisted.
“Is it possible that I am a new employee?”
Abigail was silent for two seconds, seemed to believe it. But
then she said in a sarcastic tone, “You’re so good–looking, I don’t
believe you don’t have any other intentions towards Reginald.“”
Adelaide was speechless, thinking she had just wasted her time.
introducing herself to her. “Ms. Murray, if you’re looking for Mr. Thorton, did you maybe get the wrong person?”
“Who told you to drive away Reginald’s car? Do you know how long I waited in the underground parking lot? I was waiting for

him to drive this car!” Abigail said angrily.
After she finished speaking, Adelaide was quite impressed with
her.
She kindly reminded, “This car belongs to me for now, Mr.
Thorton has other cars, so Ms. Murray, you better not stick with
this one.”
“So why did Reginald’s car drive you?”
Adelaide rubbed her forehead and said, “Ms. Murray, you’re making me want to call the police.”
“Go ahead, call the cops,” Abigail said confidently, unafraid of the threat, “This is Eldoria, not Evercrest.”
Adelaide didn’t say anything, she just made a phone call.
