Chapter159
“No,” Adelaide said with a smile in her voice.
“You laughing at me?”
“Adelaide was thinking, is his eyes poisonous or does he have
mind–reading abilities.”
You can guess all of this.
“So it seems like they’re laughing at me,” Reginald lazily asked,
“just because buying an island is as easy as buying candy?”
…the thing about buying an island is just not going away, you
know.
“Mr. Thorton.”
Someone shouted Reginald.
Their conversation came to a halt, Reginald raised his chin and
said, “Prof. Webster.”
Adelaide turned her face away and looked past.
At first sight, she recognized who this Donald Webster was.
She once saw Anderson and said hello when she was with him.
Chapter159
He was a professor at the music academy.
She was surprised, didn’t expect Reginald to be the person he
was here to see.
When Donald approached, he also recognized Adelaide. “Isn’t
this Adelaide?”
Adelaide nodded slightly and said, “Prof. Webster, long time no
see.”
Donald smiled and said, “Long time no see!” Then he looked at
her and Reginald with a knowing expression and exclaimed,
“They’ve been saying that Mr. Thorton recently hired a new
architect who he values a lot, and it’s you, Adelaide.”
Adelaide got to the point.
Is there gossip going around about her and Reginald?
Reginald didn’t beat around the bush, “She’s someone I
personally dug up.”
Adelaide was taken aback, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but she didn’t know how to react in front of Donald.
Donald had a hint of ambiguity in his eyes and said with a smile, “Well, Mr. Thorton, you’ve hit the jackpot.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Reginald didn’t continue
Chapter150
playing tennis. Instead, he sat in the rest area with Donald, and
Adelaide sat between them.
“Adelaide, was it your idea or Andy’s idea to bring Grady
Schmitt back?”
Adelaide thought they were going to talk about work, but then Donald suddenly asked this. Surprised, she regained her
composure and said, “If it wasn’t Mr. Schmitt’s idea, I wouldn’t
dare to do it on my own.”
Donald nodded, “Indeed.”
Reginald asked, “It looks like Prof. Webster personally
intervened, but he still refused to return to his country.”
Donald looked sad and said, “He’s just as stubborn as his mother.
I tried to give him some advice, but he kicked me out without
hesitation.”
In the end, he said helplessly to Adelaide, “Adelaide, I’m afraid
this thing can’t be done. Andy can only leave with regret. The
problem lies with them, mother and son. Now Anderson is just
hanging by a thread, feeling powerless, unable to do anything.”
Adelaide wasn’t that slow, she realized that Reginald brought
her here to meet Donald and talk about Anderson’s matters.
Knowing the relationship between Donald and the Schmitt
family, she had no hope at all.
Chapter159
“This was too painful for Mr. Schmitt.”
“Well, that’s just the way it is. Everyone has their own
difficulties, especially since we are all outsiders,” said Donald
kindly. “In the end, we all did our best, and I believe your
teacher will understand.”
“If Mr. Schmitt really left, then it’s just Mrs. Schmitt living at
Evercrest. Does Grady really not care about his own mother?”
Adelaide couldn’t help but ask.
“My sister–in–law had already found a nursing home for
herself.”
Adelaide couldn’t say a word, it’s like a complete cut–off all
contact situation.
After chatting about this, Adelaide realized that Donald and
Reginald had something else to talk about privately. She made
an excuse about needing to use the restroom and left.
