But in the end, he still said, “I understand you’re not in a good
mood. Let’s talk when you’re feeling better.”
Adelaide wanted to dump this steamed fish on him.
But wasting food is shameful.
Where did he get the nerve to keep saying that she was just in a
bad mood?
Seeing Spencer’s car driving away, Adelaide felt a little better.
As soon as she looked back, she noticed the man across from her
staring at her with a meaningful and teasing look.
Thinking about what she had just said, Adelaide blushed in
embarrassment.
She finally managed to say after a long pause, “Steamed fish is
quite delicious.”
Reginald smirked and said, “It’s pretty good here, and the boss is
really nice. We should come here more often in the future.”
At that time, the boss brought in another huge portion of spicy chicken feet.

The boss felt better when that annoying and pretentious man in a suit left. “Take your time, guys!”
Adelaide stared at the dishes on the table, feeling a bit sad, “Mr. Thorton, I’m afraid this is too much to finish.“”
Reginald said, “Don’t waste the boss’s kindness, just pack up the leftovers if you can’t finish it.”
That works too, saves me from cooking tomorrow night.
Adelaide was a bit nervous that Reginald would ask her about
what happened earlier, but obviously, she wárried for nothing.
After eating, they packed up the leftovers, Reginald walked her
back to the apartment to help with digestion, and then he left.
Adelaide took a shower, sat in the study, and worked on
designing sketches for overtime.
The next day, she went to work as usual and bought breakfast
near the company. But when she tried to pay, all the payments
failed.
Her credit card that she hadn’t used for a long time couldn’t be
used anymore.
This abnormality set off alarm bells for Adelaide.
But for now, she could only turn to Teresa for help.
Chapter124
After paying, she went back to work with a serious face. It
wasn’t until she was at work that she managed to contact the
bank staff and ask about the reason her bank card was stopped.
“Frozen?!”
When she heard this reason, Adelaide was completely shocked.
“Yes, Ms. Pierce, both your debit card and credit card at my
bank have been deactivated”
“Why?”
“The staff seemed to be having some trouble with this.”
But Adelaide guessed what was going on, she just casually
asked, “I remember your bank worked with the Hicks Group.”
“Yeah, it was.”
Adelaide just gave a little hum and hung up the phone.
She immediately took Spencer’s number out of the blacklist and
called him.
Spencer was almost instantly on the line, a cheerful voice
coming through from the other end, “Adele.”
Adelaide clenched her fist, holding back her emotions, “You
froze all of my cards.“”
Chapter 124
Spencer didn’t think what he did was wrong. He sighed calmly
and said, “Adele, I thought about it all night after I got back last
night. The reason you’ve become so reckless and vulgar may be
because someone has influenced you in a bad way, but more
likely it’s because you feel you have money in your hands, so
you’re not afraid of consequences, which is why you’ve become
so shameless.”
“You’ve always been well taken care of since you were young,
I’ve always looked after you. What happened with Garrett and Amanda was just me being impulsive, wanting you to realize
certain realities. But I don’t want you to completely indulge
yourself because of this, I want you to always be under my
protection, obedient and well–behaved.”
