Adeline's fingers hold the escalator tightly. Before, she was too soft-hearted, thinking that she was her only relative and always giving in, but now she won't. frank's case taught her that constantly compromising will only make people look down on you and think you can bully you at will!
She gave a cold laugh and said, "Auntie, I'm not your daughter. I can go wherever I want at night. It's not your turn to worry. You'd better worry more about your own daughter. After all, someone who had an abortion at the age of 16 has to keep a close eye on their private life."
Zoey, who was standing behind Zoe, was furious at once. She hated it most when people brought it up. It was her secret.
You nonsense! When did I ever have an abortion? I... I'm still a virgin, you're in a mess in your private life, you must have been fooling around last night, believe me, tell Frank to break off your engagement!"
Breaking off the engagement is just right!
Adeline thought of the scene she saw last night and felt nauseating: "Whatever, you go and say, do you really think you are some kind of scallion, everyone has to be on your side?"
Zoey didn't expect her to retort. She used to hold back and cry when she was scolded harshly, but now she was completely turned upside down.
"Mom, look at her..."
Zoe didn't want her precious daughter to be scolded. She gently patted her on the back and pointed at Adeline, saying, "Little bitch, you talk to your cousin like this. See if I don't teach you a lesson for your brother and sister-in-law!"
She picked up a baseball bat from the corner and walked towards her. This was Zoe's usual trick, using her parents' identity and scolding her in the name of her elder.
Adeline was thinking of a way to fight back when a lawyer pulled Zoe: "Ms.Zoey, don't forget what you're here for. If someone gets injured, we'll have something to talk about instead."
As soon as she was reminded, she threw down the stick. Yes, she had something important to do.
She took out a stack of documents from her briefcase and stuffed them into Adeline's arms: "Take it, give me this document to sign."
Adeline looked suspiciously, then turned pale with anger and threw the documents hard at her: "Zoe, how shameless are you? You actually want my shares of Canhua to be transferred to you. Haven't you taken enough from our family all these years? Canhua Company was left to me by my parents. Don't even think about it."
"What do you mean? The company's surname is Capet. You're about to marry frank, that would be someone else's. As the family, how could I just stand by and watch the Capet’s company fall into the hands of outsiders? Sign it for me right now!"
What a grandiose excuse!
Adeline laughed back in anger: "Are you family? "Don't talk nonsense here, our family can't afford to lose this person, Zoe, I used to call you Auntie, now it has nothing to do with me at all, Butler, call the security Andreasards to come and drive them away!"
The steward stood there timidly, glanced at Zoe, and then remained indifferent.
Zoe laughed heartily: "Adeline, you are a young lady who can do nothing without your parents. The servants are not as loyal as they were in old times, and can be bought at will. You must sign this document if you don't want to."
"Someone, arrest her for me!"
The security Andreasard of the Capet Villa rushed in at once and grabbed Adeline by the shoulder, who struggled with her hands and feet but remained indifferent.
These people have been doing things for Zoe with her salary, and it's unknown how long this has been going on.
How shameless!
The lawyer had laid out the documents on the table, the security Andreasards pushed her to the front of the table, and Zoe handed her a pen: "Sign quickly and you won't suffer too."
"I won't sign, Zoe. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog. My parents were so kind to you, but you repaid them with resentment. Aren't you afraid that their vengeful spirits will come back to you?"
Zoe, a very superstitious person who always likes to play with all kinds of mysterious things, gave a jolt in her hand holding the pen when she heard her words, but thinking that as long as she got the company of Canhua, she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, she raised her hand and slapped her hard.
"The little bitch is just stubborn. Hold her hand sign and press the fingerprint. Hurry up!"
The security Andreasard immediately did as Adeline was a girl and had little strength, so she could only look at her handwriting and write down one name after another.
On the last page, the door was suddenly kicked open and a familiar voice rang out: "What are you doing? Let Adeline go quickly!"
Adeline looked up and it was frank?
What is he doing here? Is he also trying to get a share of Canhua's pie?
Although Frank was illegitimate, he was a House of Andreas after all. In Jin City, who would disrespect a House of Andreas for Felix?
"Mr. Felix, this is a family matter of our family. You'd better stay away for now." Zoe put back her fierce look and gave a gentle smile.
Frank shook his head solemnly and walked over to pull away the security who were holding Adeline: "Adeline is my fiancee. I won't let you bully her. This is illegal coercion. If you don't want me to make a big deal out of it, leave right now."
Zoe looked at him in shock. Last time she had heard from people in the circle that Frank actually didn't care much about Adeline. What was going on now?
Her eyes shifted and she immediately understood: "Mr.Andreas, you're not an outsider. How about this? For the Canghua Company, we'll each get half. That is, let Adeline sign more share agreements. It's beneficial for sharing. Mr. Felix is an outstanding businessman. He shouldn't refuse, right?" "
frank's heart stirred. It was undeniable that he was moved by this benefit, but at the moment he had a more important crisis than getting Canhua.
He held back his impulse and accused with a resentful look: "Zoe, I'm not on the same path as you. Get out with your men right now, or I'll call the police!"
Seeing his serious look, Zoe was a little flustered, not pretending, and the lawyer was whispering in her ear to persuade her to leave first, she looked at the unfinished documents and felt a deep hatred in her heart.
"Adeline, don't think I'll stop here. Let you off this time, and you won't be so lucky next time!" Saying that, she left with a reluctant heart.
When Frank saw that everyone had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her gently: "Little bowl, are you scared? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Adeline looked at him as if he were a ghost. If she had been moved by what he had done just now, she would have seen through his true nature last night and would not have been so easily deceived!
She pushed him away: "frank, what are you up to? Don't tell me in secret. Stop pretending to me here."
A flash of resentment flashed in frank's eyes, but soon he said with a look of guilt, "Adeline, I know you have a grudge against me because of what happened last night. It's my fault. It's all my fault. Forgive me, I will never make such a mistake again."
Adeline looked at him anxiously and humbly, her eyes filled with deep affection and endless remorse, which made her sigh to herself.
"Well done! It would be a pity if you didn't acting with Piper!"
Frank was so angry at her indifferent expression that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She used to be so easy to deceive, but he never thought she had mastered it overnight.
He gritted his teeth, and then with a thud, he knelt down right in front of her.
