“If you can raise her to be that big, then you’re like her real parents. If she doesn’t listen, then give her a good beating. Beat
her until she behaves, let’s see if she still dares to act so
arrogant.”
“Misunderstood, Adele is usually very well–behaved. She just
had some stress today, that’s all.”
“What’s wrong with being provoked? Even if you’re provoked, you shouldn’t talk to your elders like that. You’re just asking for trouble!” Franklin got angrier as he spoke, determined to show
the Pierce family a lesson. “Sir Pierce, watch closely. Let me
show you how to discipline a child.”
After saying that, he moved as fast as a monkey and suddenly
appeared in front of Adelaide.
Bang!
That slap came down real fast.
Amanda was so excited she could have clapped her hands.
Jeanette was stunned. Finley never saw that slap coming.
Julius, who was slow to react, quickly stood in front of Adelaide

and said, “Sir, how could you just hit someone like that?”
“Get out of my way, I’m gonna teach my nephew a lesson, you
mind your own business.” Franklin rudely pushed Julius aside,
stood in front of Adelaide with his chin up, pointing at her nose
and ordering, “Go over there, apologize properly to your dad
with me.”
“That slap was really hard,” Adelaide felt her cheek burning and
ignored Franklin’s threat, turning her face away and saying,
“Mr. Shaffer, please help, call the police.”
When this was said, Finley said, “Adele, he is your real uncle.“”
Franklin suddenly realized, “Hey, you little brat, dare to call the
police and arrest your own uncle?”
Adelaide said blankly, “Whether you are my uncle remains to
be verified, but it’s only right for me to call the police if you hit
me.”
With that, she raised her eyebrows and stared coldly at Finley,
“It’s obvious you don’t want to solve the problem properly.
When the police come later, you can explain it to them
yourself!‘
Finley’s face twisted, “Adele, why bother?”
“What’s the point.” At this point, if she still can’t see that
Franklin is Finley’s puppet, then Adelaide is just dumb.

“I’ve lived for over forty years and never seen a woman as
arrogant as you. You really deserve a good beating!” Franklin
threw his coat aside, looking like he was about to give Adelaide
a harsh lesson right here.
Finley was just putting on a show.
Adelaide took a step back, and the person was already standing
at the entrance of the ward.
“Stand there for me!” Franklin shouted, but he got a little distracted when he saw the man walking in.
Reginald was chatting with the hospital leaders in the office
when he missed Nathan looking for him. He rushed to Adelaide
when he received the call.
Walking into the ward, scanning the room, seeing the slap mark
on Adelaide’s face, anger instantly rose from the bottom of his
eyes.
He reached out and lightly brushed with his fingertips, “Who
did this?”
This move left Finley and others stunned.
Adelaide didn’t even have a chance to speak, Julius, who had
already finished the call, spoke up eagerly, “Mr. Thorton, that
person made the call.”

Pointing at Franklin.
Franklin still hadn’t recognized who Reginald was, but those intimate gestures, they were definitely from a man.
That’s the younger generation, you know.
The next second, he found his confidence.
“I am her uncle, it’s only natural for elders to teach the younger
ones. Who are you, you….”
The shadow came over like a mountain in an instant, and then,
a kick hit him right in the chest.
