Chapter 145 Two Slaps
Henry instinctively looked behind her. Why wasn't Jason there?
Adeline smiled nonchalantly. "Are you looking for someone?"
Henry put on a hypocritical face. "Adeline, there was a misunderstanding between us before."
"What misunderstanding?" Adeline's thin lips curved slightly. "Was it you almost drove me to death, or you told me to hurry back to the countryside?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people started to gossip, "Are these really her parents? How can they treat their child like this?"
Angela couldn't stand these people and exploded, "She's not even our biological child! What do you expect us to do? Pamper her? We can't even get rid of her!"
Seeing her like that, Henry knew things were going south and quickly pulled her aside!
"Stop talking." He gave her a stern look. "Do you remember why we came here today?"
Angela's eyes shifted as she said, "Her grades are at the bottom, she struggles with school. And now she's live-streaming to seduce old men! How do you expect us to treat her?"
Summer heard this and exclaimed, "You're lying!"
"I'm not lying. Didn't she go out to dinner with a big boss today?" Angela's smile was cold. "Everyone's here, so let's judge. Mom, are you really that naive? With her looks, do you think a big boss would ignore millions of dollars in business just to see her? It's because she's young and pretty!"
"Shut up!" Summer clutched her chest.
Adeline took her cane and gently soothed her, "Grandma, you're getting upset again. I told you before, they're not worth it."
Summer held Adeline's hand. "I'm not upset because of them, Adeline. How can they say such things about you?"
"They have dirty minds, so they see everything as dirty." Adeline's voice was calm as she looked at Henry, her tone indifferent. "You are Grandma's son, so I won't take your life. But the Martinez Group will still go bankrupt."
In an instant, Henry seemed terrified by the aura Adeline exuded, his hands and feet turning cold.
Angela sneered. "Who do you think you are? You think you can just declare the Martinez Group bankrupt?"
"We'll see." Adeline lifted her eyelids slightly.
Angela gritted her teeth. The thing she hated most was Adeline saying that!
"You still claim you have nothing to do with Mr. Bailey. Without his backing, would you dare to be so arrogant?" Angela's tone grew more aggressive. "Do you think sleeping with an old man for one night can bring us down? You..."
Adeline slapped her, the force of the blow carrying a breeze, and smiled beautifully. "What about me?"
Angela was stunned. Then she clutched her aching face, her eyes widening. "How dare you? I'll kill you!"
Adeline slapped her again, her posture elegant. "You are so noisy."
Angela's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a madwoman, shouting, "Now that you've hooked up with Mr. Bailey, you've grown bolder. I really underestimated you! Henry, what are you standing there for? Hit her back!"
Henry was about to raise his hand.
But before he could bring it down, he was kicked to the ground!
Henry was in so much pain that he went limp, lying on the ground, unable to move!
