Chapter162
Adelaide was shocked.
“It’s one thing to have a good relationship with Spence, but I can’t just ignore the fact that Finley has been secretly causing trouble for my family,” Lucas said. “In a way, we’re all victims
here. So Adelaide, do you want to consider working with me?”
“How do we collaborate?” Adelaide asked.
“Took down Finley”
Adelaide didn’t say anything.
Lucas was surprised, “You still think he’s your father?”
Adelaide said, “I need to think about it first.”
Lucas smirked and said, “Sure, I’ll wait for your reply anytime.”
On the way back, Adelaide turned down Lucas’s offer to drive
her, took a taxi by herself, and called Nathan to ask if they had already returned to the group. When she found out they hadn’t,
she asked the driver to take her back there.
As soon as she got off the car, Nathan called out to her from the
parking lot.

Adelaide ran over.
Nathan urged while opening the car door, “Ms. Pierce, get in, we
gotta go.”
Adelaide nodded and bent down to sit in.
The low pressure inside the car hit her in the face, she held her
breath for a moment, “Mr. Thorton.”
“That Lucas and Spencer were good friends,‘ Reginald said
coolly.
“Yes,” Adelaide replied, as someone’s sharp eyes locked onto her
face.
I was waiting for her reply.
Adelaide had to explain briefly about going to Evercrest Mental
Health Center and meeting that Quinten, of course, she also
mentioned Finley’s plan to cut off the Bradshaw family’s
financial resources.
Reginald said, “He didn’t lie, Finley did secretly steal several businesses from the Bradshaw family, causing them to lose nearly eighty million. Finley has a big appetite, he wants to bring down the Bradshaw family and then try to acquire the
Bradshaw Group.”
It really wasn’t an exaggeration.

Reginald said again, “He’s willing to be friends with Spencer, not
for the friendship itself, but to use Spencer to get some useful
evidence.”
After listening, Adelaide felt enlightened.
“So, Mr. Thorton, do you think I should work with him?”
When she asked herself like that, Reginald’s gloomy expression.
softened and he asked back, “Do you want to ask for my
opinion?”
Adelaide nodded, “You know more than me, and your advice is
definitely friendly to me.”
Reginald was coaxed into a smile, “To be honest, I didn’t really
want to.”
Adelaide blinked, still need to pretend to be sincere?
Reginald squinted and said, “He was into you.”
Adelaide really didn’t know how to respond to that.
But then a doubt popped into her mind, how much did Reginald
really know about her, and why did she feel like she had no
secrets in front of him.
“If you work with him, it will benefit you,” Reginald paused,
“You can work with him, but you must report to me every
Chapter162
detail of your cooperation with him, without leaving out a single word.”
“Why?” Adelaide wondered.
“I want to know if he dares to have any ulterior motives
towards you,” Reginald said slowly and deliberately.
Adelaide suddenly didn’t feel like talking.
But she still listened to Reginald’s words and agreed to
cooperate with Lucas. Through this, Lucas told her about the
Pierce family that had happened in the past two days.
“The first thing Finley did after getting out of jail was to put
Spence under house arrest.”
“House arrest?” Adelaide couldn’t believe those two words
would ever apply to Spencer.
“Spence acted too impulsively, trying to increase his power
while Finley was detained, so he aggressively tried to win
people over. This kind of behavior, even in a father–son
relationship, would make Finley hostile towards him.“”
