Chapter 125 Severing the Mother-Daughter Rtionship!
"Well then, I won''t burden you anymore, Mrs. Burton!"
Edith''s expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"
Adeline calmly smiled, "I said I won''t cause you any trouble anymore. Since you''re so worried that I
bring misfortune to the family, to you, then let''s cut ties."
Saying this, Adeline felt a sense of relief.
"Throughout my life, I thought that you favored Vi over me. I went out of my way to try and
please all of you, especially you."
"I believed that someday, you would see my worth, and you would reflect on whether you''ve been
too harsh on me all these years."
"But now that I know the truth, I think... our rtionship can never be repaired, so why not just leave
it like this?"
"Honestly, you''ve repeatedly set me up and wished me ill. I''m not a saint, you know. I can''t ept
you as my mother without resentment."
"And just like you said earlier, with such deep-seated resentment in your heart, you can''t possibly
see me as your daughter either. So, let''s treat each other as strangers."
Edith''s eyes were filled with shock. After a while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You...
you cut ties with Jacob, and now you want to cut ties with me? You...you... Just to avoid contributing
to our family, you came up with this scheme!"
Picking up her bag, Adeline turned around and prepared to leave.
Before she walked out, she nced back at Edith, "You curse and scheme against me on one
hand, and on the other, you still want my money. Well, Edith, where in the world does such a sweet
deal exist?"
With that, Adeline left the private room swiftly.
Behind her, came intermittent curses from Edith.
"Adeline, go to hell! I hope you get hit by a car when you leave!"
"Adeline, I shouldn''t have given birth to you. You''re nothing but a harbinger of bad luck!"
"People like you deserve a lifetime of misery! A lifetime of bad luck!"
"I''m telling you, I won''t y along with your scheme!"
"I''ll tell Mr. Riley that you''re infertile, like a hen that can''ty eggs! Let''s see if he still cares about
you!"
Amidst a stream of curses, Adeline walked out of the restaurant and crouched by the side of the
road. Suddenly, her chest was aching, and it almost left her breathless.

Olivia caught up and quickly helped Adeline up, "Adeline, are you okay? What''s wrong?"
Adeline''s face turned pale, and she pushed Olivia away.
Olivia stepped back a few paces, "Adeline, I''m really concerned about you."
"Olivia, I know. Just let me be alone for a while. I need some time to myself." Adeline''s eyes were
now filled with tears, yet they stubbornly lingered on the brink, refusing to spill.
"Olivia, could you give me some space? Let me be alone for a while, okay?"
Seeing how genuinely distressed Adeline was, Olivia nodded, "Alright, Adeline... Don''t be sad.
None of this is your fault. I... I''ll leave."
Olivia intended to hail a taxi and leave, but she realized she had forgotten her phone, so she turned
back.
And as Adeline watched her walk away, that was when her tears finally broke free.
Boom, boom, boom...
The sky darkened with clouds, and drizzles of rain began to fall.
People on the street were hurriedly seeking shelter from the rain, and some were rushing to get
home. Only Adeline looked up at the overcast sky, letting the raindrops ssh onto her face.
Lost and disoriented, she walked aimlessly as she was unsure of where to go.
Where could she possibly have a home to return to?
Edith''s curses echoed in her ears, especially that one line...
"I''ll tell Mr. Riley that you''re infertile, like a hen that can''ty eggs!"
So, if Curtis were to find out, would thest person who was going to protect her also be taken
away?
Was her final source of warmth going to vanish too?
But she couldn''t ept that!
Adeline wandered the streets like a ghost without purpose.
Meanwhile, as Olivia went to retrieve her phone, she unintentionally overheard a malevolent voice
coming from the private room, belonging to Reba.
"In situations like this, most people would be devastated and end up drinking. I''ve already had
someone follow her. If she goes to drink, she''ll have a spiked drink..."
Victoria pressed for more details, "What if she doesn''t drink?"
Considering Adeline''s personality, it was unlikely she would go to a bar.
"Well, I''ve got n B ready for her as well. My people report that she''s wandering aimlessly for
now."
"Just wandering... and if she happens to stroll into a secluded area... on a day like this, it would be
possible for a few ruffians to drag her into an alley..."
