Chapter54
“You were just lying to me!” Abigail insisted.
Reginald stopped talking.
Instead, that indifferent, cold, and believe it or not expression
gave Abigail a very uneasy feeling.
One second, two seconds… until half a minute passed, Abigail
couldn’t hold it anymore, covered her mouth and cried, then
ran out the door.
When Adelaide thought Reginald was being too cruel, Evan
gratefully said, “Mr. Thorton, thank you.“”
Reginald took a sip of wine, “Just helping myself.”
She suddenly realized, it was Evan who asked Reginald for help.
The meal was over, on the way back to the hotel, Reginald took
a phone call out of the blue. After dropping Adelaide off at the
hotel, he said, “I’ll be back within two hours, and we can talk
about another project.”
“Got it, understood.””
Adelaide went up, Reginald and Nathan went down, and they

split up at the elevator.
Coming out of the elevator, she turned the corner back to her room, only to find someone squatting at the door.
Upon closer inspection, Abigail…
Adelaide looked a bit numb.
Abigail stood up with a start when she saw her, “You can’t
leave!”
Adelaide avoided her and stood in front of the guest room door,
saying, “This is my room, why should I leave?”
Abigail followed behind her, her voice muffled and low, “I want
to talk to you.”
“I didn’t have much to talk about with Ms. Murray!”
She pursed her lips and blurted out confidently, “I know the person Reginald was talking about is you.”
Adelaide didn’t open the door, she just turned her head and saw
that she had already started crying.
“You don’t need to make excuses saying it’s a misunderstanding, saying you guys are just boss and subordinate relationship. It’s okay, does he really need to borrow your car, did he even treat
you to eight treasure rice just now! Anyway, I know that person
is you, you don’t need to guard against me, I’m not trying to force you away from Reginald, stop saying those brainless
things and give him to me.”
Abigail said everything in one breath, and even wiped away her
tears.
Poor but strong.
Adelaide choked for a moment and then asked, “So, what do
you want to talk to me about?”
“Can you buy me a drink?”
“Huh?” Adelaide didn’t react immediately.
Abigail pouted, “I sneaked out, my dad froze all my cards. And I
don’t want my friends to know I got dumped, too embarrassing, so… don’t worry, I won’t let you treat me for nothing, I’ll pay you
back another day!”
Adelaide, who was heartbroken, and also Evan’s daughter,
eventually softened and said, “Come in.”
Abigail was so happy that she burst into tears, and without any
hesitation, she called customer service to have someone bring
up the wine.
Until the hotel staff wheeled in a small cart filled with all kinds
of wine, Adelaide couldn’t bear to look: “Ms. Murray, are you
Chapter54
planning to play dumb and pretend to drink here?”
“Should I write you a disclaimer?” Abigail’s eyes were still swollen like walnuts, but at this moment she was incredibly sincere, as if Adelaide could say “go away” the next second, she would cry instantly and hug her legs, saying “please don’t leave.”
Adelaide took a deep breath and had to compromise again. She went inside to organize the temporary inspiration that came to mind, and when she came back out, Abigail was still there,
holding a bottle of wine and crying loudly. The key was that she didn’t dare cry out loud, because she knew this was Adelaide’s
territory.
