Chapter 30 Fat-Fingered, Adeline Misdialed Her Ex
As soon as it was connected, Victoria's cocky voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Adeline, how're you? Are you having a tough day?"
Adeline's countenance immediately changed upon hearing this.
She originally thought that Victoria had lost face at le Charme yesterday, and just purely wanted to call her to make her unhappy today.
But were not these words telling her that she had something to do with what happened this morning?
Adeline calmly and tentatively asked, "Victoria, what do you mean?"
A pleasant chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "What do I mean? Don't you get it? Adeline, you'll never step on my head!"
"Do you think you've won at le Charme yesterday? Today, I'm telling you, I'll pay you back ten times of the pain I suffered yesterday today!"
Remember what I told you in the bathroom? Adeline, I want to destroy you. Before Logan comes, I'll make you a dirty woman. You'll be spurned wherever you go in Prodiff!
From the best teacher to a dirty woman whom everyone disdains to, you will experience this feeling day by day!"
When Adeline heard the words, her beautiful eyes rolled with anger, "Victoria, you won't succeed! I'll not lose! My husband won't let me lose either!"
Then, Adeline angrily hung up the phone.
She impatiently pressed it. She pressed several times in a row, and all the contacts in the same group were dialed out at the same time.
When the phone call was made, Adeline suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Why did she call Logan?
She raised her hand to hang up, but anger prevailed!
For a moment, she wanted to question Logan, did he know that his mother was so shameless?!
But the next moment, she felt that she should no longer contact Logan again. She was now Curtis's wife.
No matter what the reason was, she could not continue to be unclear with her ex.
Since it was a misdial, just hung up.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to hang up, the phone showed that it was connected.
Adeline was so nervous that her heart was pounding. She could clearly feel her heart pounding against her ribs hard, as if it was about to burst out.
She was having a grievance. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she said with sobs, "Logan..."
There were countless grievances in her heart that she wanted to tell him.
But in the next second, some disappointment feelings rushed to her head as if a bucket of ice water was ruthlessly poured on her.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is this Adeline? I'm Logan's junior. He went to the grave, so he left his phone with me for safekeeping. Tell me if you got anything. I'll let him call you back later."
"No, it's a misdial."
Adeline hung up the phone, and in just a split second, the mist of tears that had been stagnating in the corners of her eyes finally condensed into teardrops, and rolled down.
She could not tell what had overwhelmed her emotional sense in this moment.
She clearly knew that she had no reason or right to blame on Logan.
But she still blamed on him!
Three years of relationship!
Every time she needed him, he was never there.
What was more, in Logan's world, they had not broken up yet!
Adeline really felt extremely wronged.
Even if she could hear Logan's gentle voice asking her "Adeline, what's wrong", that would be fine.
And even if she could not answer, she could only say "wrong number" to end this absurd misdialed call, it was also better than the person who answered the call was the girl who made her extremely uncomfortable!
Adeline emotionally broke down, directly rushed out of the school, took a taxi, and told driver the location of a small company, just wanting to find Curtis.
She heard that after Curtis was ousted from the board, only a small company was left in operation.
He told her the location of the small company and said she could find him there anytime.
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly moving backward. When getting closer and closer to Curtis's small company, Adeline became more restless.
She suddenly had the urge to see him, to throw herself into his arms, to try to cry in a petulant way, telling him how difficult it was for her today, how wronged and unhappy she was.
She wanted to try and see if it was true as Curtis said, in this world, there was such a person who could be trusted by her and could be her reliance.
Even if it was just spiritual support.
But her senses gradually came back, only then she realised how crazy she had just been.
After calming down, she called the dean to ask for leave, but she was worried, so she asked Melissa to write a leave note and submit it for her.
At this time, the car had arrived at an old office building.
"Miss, here we are." The driver reminded.
Adeline was startled for a while, she quickly took her bag, got out of the car, and walked up to the office building.
This was a dilapidated office building with no employees, and the office was empty.
Adeline felt bad when she saw it, and was slightly regretful that she impulsively rushed over to find Curtis.
Her husband's situation was also not very good. Would not she cause him more troubles if she came to find him in full fling?
Walking to the director's office, Adeline hesitated when she was just about to raise her hand to knock on the door.
Since she was young, she was the child that had been cursed by her family. Nothing good happened to her.
At this moment, suddenly she was a little unsure.
She was afraid that if she came and disturbed Curtis without informing him, would she see something she should not have seen when she opened the door?
What if that sweet and caring husband was an illusion too?
Adeline found that she seemed unable to bear another blow.
If Curtis would disappoint her, she would feel that the whole world was grey.
At this moment, Adeline actually understood why she would come to Curtis.
Because she felt betrayed when she heard Logan's junior answering his call, so she wanted to come to Curtis.
She needed a warm hug from Curtis, telling her that she was still worthy of being loved in this world.
She wanted him to tell her that they would be alright.
Curtis was her last straw!
Adeline took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The male voice coming from inside was not Curtis's.
"Come in. It should be Max."
Then, Owen saw Adeline pushed open the office door, and then turned to look at Curtis who was still standing on his feet not far away, his pupils were instantly tearing apart!!!
"Oh my god."
With his quick response, Owen ran towards Curtis, precisely kicked in the knee of Curtis, and knocked Curtis to the ground.
Curtis, who did not expect his brother would kick him, raised his eyes and stared at Owen as if he wanted to kill him, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you want to die? !"
Owen bravely pointed at him, "Haha, your wife is here, I let her see how cowardly you are! It's just a kick today, if you don't hand over the company to pay the money back, I'll kick you more again next time! Curtis, do you really think you're the former Mr. Riley?"
Just as Curtis was about to stand up, he immediately collapsed on the ground when he heard the word "wife".
At this time, Jacob, who originally wanted to please his brother-in-law with a gift, saw this scene, and instantly burst out laughing.
"Like I said, how could Adeline, a person who brings bad luck, can be so lucky to marry Mr. Riley! It turns out that Mr. Riley only has a fame left to bluff people."
Then, Jacob pointed to the empty office outside, shook his head, and looked at Adeline.
"Look, you're bringing bad luck. No one will have a good life if they get involved with you! Only the idiot like my ex-father-in-law would think that Mr. Riley is still the same!"
