Chapter165
If Reginald hadn’t shown up in time, she felt like that knife
would have definitely landed on her.
“Are you still scared?” Reginald asked gently.
“No problem.””
“When I didn’t call you back then, how were you planning to
save yourself?”
“Called Ms. Sampson.”
Reginald frowned and said with a hint of jealousy, “Why not
me?”
Adelaide awkwardly smiled, “Subconscious!”
“That’s change your subconscious,” Reginald told her firmly.
“Ms. Sampson is a girl too, I know she will come to save you first
time, but can you make sure you two girls can avoid danger?”
“I told her to call the police.”
“That still takes time, when there’s danger, every minute
counts,” Reginald said solemnly.
“Okay, got it.”

“What do you know?” Reginald pressed.
Adelaide opened her mouth, feeling a bit awkward to speak.
“Hmm?” he kept urging.
“Here you go,” Adelaide said, her face starting to blush again
after saying those three words. She turned her face away and
looked at the night scene outside the car window.
Reginald was finally satisfied, taking her back to the Sterling
Estates.
When the door opened, Teresa, wearing an apron, came out
with the prepared midnight snack. She didn’t pay much
attention to why Reginald was there too, but instead noticed
Adelaide looking disheveled.
She was stunned: “Adelaide, where did you go rolling around in
the mud?”
Adelaide was all dirty, “I’m gonna go take a shower first.”
No, there was a situation.
Teresa just looked at Reginald, “Mr. Thorton?”

After taking a shower, Adelaide found out that Reginald had

left.
Teresa sat at the dining table, looking serious and a bit scared.
Adelaide knew Reginald must have said something, so she sat
down and patted Teresa’s shoulder, saying, “I’m fine, you know!”
Although Teresa didn’t know how dangerous the situation was
at the time, when she heard Reginald’s description, her heart
was still pounding. “I thought Reginald was so tough, who
would dare to step on the emperor’s head. I didn’t expect there
are really fearless people.“”
“No matter how powerful he is, he is first and foremost an
individual, and then he is a descendant of the Thorton family.
And if you push a person too hard, the things he does are
absolutely immeasurable.”
She took a sip of water and said, “So, tonight’s events just prove
that I had a bit of bad luck.”
“No,” Teresa denied.
Adelaide was eating something, and I gave her a glance.
Teresa said, “Just now Reginald apologized to me, saying it was
his fault.”
Adelaide paused for a moment.

Teresa continued, “The monitoring system was hacked, security
personnel were negligent, he said it was his fault.”
After listening, Adelaide kept eating, just feeling a bit confused
in her head, not sure what to think about, so she just buried her
head in her food.
Teresa folded her hands on the table and leaned forward, “Do
you need me to describe in detail the expression he just
apologized to me with?”
“Ms. Sampson, your skills are on the rise.”
Knowing that she was changing the subject, Teresa clicked her
tongue and rolled her eyes. “Look at you, so scared. What’s
wrong, is Reginald a wild animal or something?”
Adelaide sighed, “He’s not a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you are.”
“If I were a wolf or a tiger, I would definitely devour you
completely.“”
Adelaide laughed, “Then you better hurry up and turn into a
wild animal.”
Night snack finished, went to bed.
Adelaide’s mood was completely ruined by the message Lucas
sent five minutes ago.
