Chapter194
Jeanette didn’t beat around the bush: “Things have been ugly these past few days, what’s going on now?”
Finley gave a cold cough as a warning.
He got up immediately and faced the outsider. He looked at Adelaide with a kind expression and asked, “Didn’t your car fall into the water at that time? Were you not hurt?”
“I was lucky, didn’t get hurt. But I almost had my neck cut by
your daughter with a knife,” Adelaide said nonchalantly.
Finley softened his cold gaze and said kindly, “You are also my daughter.”
Adelaide smiled, “Yeah, but I’m not their real child. So I got divorced today, almost died, and your parents didn’t even care
about me.”
The air froze in an instant.
The only outsider Julius, sticking to his professional ethics, calmly pushed up his glasses and continued to be invisible.
“Then you were just standing here doing nothing. You and
Garrett had already agreed on the divorce, so what’s there to

worry about? Amanda is weak and sick. Adelaide, have you forgotten that all these good days you enjoyed in the Pierce
family were all…”
“Yeah, I know, I stole your biological daughter’s life,” Adelaide
interrupted her coldly, repeating this sentence emotionlessly.
“You’ve been saying this for many years, but have you
forgotten the real reason why we were switched at birth?”
“Adele!” Finley shouted a warning.
Adelaide calmly looked away and said, “Dad, you see, I actually
don’t have any presence in this family anymore. If I stay any
longer, I’ll probably be seen as a clingy leech to the Pierce
family.”
“Even if you’re not biologically ours, so what, you’re the one we
raised. So you’re the Pierce family’s princess!” Finley insisted
without hesitation, even giving his wife a glance, showing no
sign of wavering at all.
He lowered his voice and continued, “I know you’re upset, but
Dad will make it up to you later.”
“No,” Adelaide refused bluntly, “I won’t forget the kindness of
you and Mom’s upbringing, and I will repay it. But now I want
to handle this matter properly. Either Amanda goes to jail, or I
cut ties with the Pierce family. You choose.”

“You dared to let Amanda go to jail!” Jeanette raised her voice, looking furious.
At this point, Julius cleared his throat and said, “Based on
eyewitnesses and surveillance footage, Ms. Adelaide’s fall from
the car was caused by Ms. Amanda. Later, Ms. Amanda
attempted to harm Ms. Adelaide, and the weapon is already on its way to Evercrest. Let’s go back and do a fingerprint
verification.”
“Two attempted murders, solid evidence, enough to detain and
put in jail.”
Amanda was scared by these words, her face turned pale, and
she hugged her mother’s waist nervously, “Mom, I’m scared.“”
Jeanette kept patting her daughter on the back and confidently said, “Wasn’t she standing here just fine?”
Julius said, “Madam Pierce, I said it was attempted murder!”
At that moment, Finley looked coldly and said, “Adele, we are
family.”
Adelaide still had a smile on her face, “Dad, it’s because I thought of the twenty–five years we’ve been family that I’m standing here talking, instead of going straight to court.”
Before Finley could speak, she jumped in and said, “Dad, I know you want a peaceful family, but I also have to value my life.

Amanda has a mental illness, I can’t guarantee she won’t pull
out a weapon to kill me next time.”
“I had to make sure I had a guarantee for my life. If you really
still think of me as your daughter, I hope you can understand
my fear of death.”
