Chapter 123 No More Saintly Acts from Me!
"Everything has been recorded," Victoria crossed her arms and strutted out. "With this evidence, how will you and Curtis explain yourselves to the Riley family?"
Adeline looked at Victoria and Edith with confusion, "What are you two talking about?" Victoria looked at her disdainfully, "No need to act anymore. The pinhole camera recorded everything you just said. You admitted to being Curtis's mistress, and you two aren't even married! Curtis said he wants to take responsibility for you, but it's all a lie to deceive Frank. Just you wait, I'm going to expose you!"
Adeline didn't understand why Victoria and Edith were suddenly insisting that she and Curtis weren't married.
They had both gone to the Marriage Bureau! But Adeline didn't bother refuting it. In the end, Victoria would end up being embarrassed in front of Frank. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Adeline scoffed and said, "Victoria, you're quite ridiculous! You pushed me onto Curtis's bed and forced me on him. Don't you know if he willingly wants to marry me or not?"
"Clearly, you set up this situation. Now that things don't go your way, you want to use it against me. How shameless you are! Do your sons and daughters know about this?"
"Shut up!" Victoria scolded angrily under her breath, then turned to Olivia. "See? Adeline isn't the obedient and well-behaved person she used to be! She's quick to call me Victoria and shows no respect for her elders!"
"Quite amusing, you're really trying to save face, aren't you? Why should I respect you? Where have you shown that you deserve my respect?"
"Your actions, at every turn, are meant to destroy me. Do you think I'm still going to play the saint and call you my second sis-in law?"
"Victoria Riley, let me tell you, save your dream!"
Finishing her words, Adeline's disappointed gaze shifted to Olivia, "Have you also become like this? Are you also hoping to see me in trouble?"
Olivia trembled and hurriedly explained, "No... I'm not... Adeline, I... My mom forced me to come! I didn't know it was you sitting in this room. By the time I realized, it was too late."
Victoria cast a disdainful look at Olivia, "Why waste words with her? The reason I brought you here was for you to see clearly that this woman is now your Uncle Curtis's mistress. Don't keep trying to pass this dirty thing onto your brother!"
"Shut up!" Without waiting for Victoria to finish, Olivia yelled uncontrollably, "Clearly, it was you who pushed her onto Uncle Curtis. How can you call her dirty without feeling any guilt? If anything's dirty, it's you! Even if she became Uncle Curtis's mistress, it's because of you. Mom, how could you become like this? I don't even recognize you anymore!"
Edith couldn't be bothered to deal with the mother-daughter squabble. She walked a few steps ahead and looked at Adeline triumphantly.
"Adeline, be a good girl, give me two thousand every month, and I won't tell Mr. Riley about your infertility issue. Otherwise, you'll be in a bad situation, and you won't even be able to be a mistress."
After hearing that, Victoria chuckled and remarked, "Olivia, can you see this person clearly now? Even her own mother doesn't stand up for her. Her mother seems to want her life to be miserable and even aims to make things worse."
Upon hearing this, Adeline closed her eyes in agony.
Indeed, even her own mother treated her like this in front of others. How could she not be looked down upon by everyone else?
Adeline opened her teary eyes and stared intently at Edith as she was struggling to hold back tears.
"Can you tell me why? I'm your daughter. Why do you hate me so much? Let alone being mother and daughter, even as ordinary people, there shouldn't be such hatred."
Affected by the atmosphere, Edith's teeth ground together as she asked, "Do you really want to know?"
