Chapter 140 Too Late for Regrets
It was Adeline!
How could it be Adeline?
Henry stumbled back, almost losing his balance. If the bodyguards hadn't caught him, he would have hit the ground.
Jason ditched his meetings with the Chamber of Commerce just to see Adeline?
Henry got dragged away, slowly coming back to his senses. No way he could rush back in for another look.
But he wasn't wrong; it was definitely Adeline!
And sitting next to her was the person Summer had picked up back then!
How on earth did Adeline get to meet Jason?
Then it hit him.
"Live streaming!" he muttered. "Angela mentioned Summer was helping Adeline with live streaming!"
Henry felt like he was onto something and wanted to reach out to Adeline.
But then he remembered he had already deleted her number.
Frustrated, he punched himself. "I'll call Summer!"
He dialed Summer's number, only to find out he was blocked!
Henry's mind raced, and he decided to contact the Clark family.
Vanessa was in a bad mood. "Yeah, a big investor saw the live stream and wants to invest in Adeline. What's it to you?"
She hung up on him, annoyed.
But Henry just smiled. "So that's it."
He had heard some investors liked to support female streamers and even make private deals.
Henry squinted. "Why didn't I think of this sooner? Her looks could be useful!"
With that thought, he wasn't in a rush anymore. Adeline always listened to Summer. If he could win over Summer, Adeline would be easy to get!
Mark felt guilty for not keeping a closer eye on things. "Punish me."
"It's no big deal; nothing to punish." Adeline calmly put some meat on Robert's plate, looking relaxed but with a hint of authority.
Mark finally got why Jason called Adeline "boss."
He had been in the business world for years and seen countless women, but none had Adeline's strategic vibe!
And she was so young, yet so composed and steady.
Mark didn't know what to say.
Adeline spoke again, "Sit down and eat. Guys like Henry have their own twisted logic and won't figure out who I am."
Mark lowered his eyes. "I wish he would figure it out and be too scared to act, but he left in a weird way. I'm worried he might try to harm you."
Jason slammed his knife down. "He dares? What a loser!"
He finally got that even a small CEO in Eldoria dared to mess with Adeline!
"I'm still here. Let anyone try, and I'll ruin them!"
Jason didn't know Adeline had been raised by the Martinez Family.
Even if he did, his attitude wouldn't change.
"Aetheris Group was built for you to play with. The people in Eldoria are really gutsy!" Jason couldn't wrap his head around it. "Who gave them the nerve?"
Mark found it hard to explain the complexities.
"Harm me?" Adeline laughed, resting her chin on one hand. "Perfect. I'll use this chance to take him down. Grandma won't have to be so sad."
As she said this, she toyed with a matchbox in her hand. Despite being only nineteen, the coldness in her eyes was chilling.
