Chapter 7
After a while, she recovered.
"This is⦠that vile spawn? Sheâs grown up so much now?"
Since Sylvie was usually an energetic child, she replied cheerfully to Adeline after thinking she was
Patriciaâs friend.
"Yeah, Iâm five years old, and I have two older brothers who are also five years old.We are triplets!"
In a fit of panic, Patricia quickly covered Sylvieâs mouth.She didnât want Adeline to know this.
Unfortunately, Sylvie was a loquacious child and couldnât keep secrets.
"Triplets?" Adeline was more shocked.
"You sure are amazing.No, it should be that the old man is amazing.Itâs no wonder you wear such tacky
clothes.Itâs not easy to raise three children, am I right?"
She couldnât help but let thoughts run through her mind as she spoke.So whatâs the big deal that
Patricia is still alive? Sheâs nothing but the mud in the ground now, while I will soon be the young
mistress of the Arnolds.
Thatâs an existence that she will never be able to claim ties with! Once she thought of this, she didnât
hide the triumphant look on her face.
Sylvie first looked at her facial expression.
Then, she looked at Patriciaâs facial expression.
At that moment, she felt that Adeline didnât seem to be Patriciaâs friend.
Slightly angered, Sylvie pursed her lips and rolled those beautiful big eyes a little.
Then, at once, a mischievous idea came across her mind.So, she slid off the chair and grabbed
Adelineâs white dress with her oily little hands.
"Your dress is so pretty!"
How dare you criticize Tricia for being tacky! Youâre the old-fashioned one! Take that! Iâll stain your
dress! Adeline screamed when she saw her ruined dress, "What are you doing?! Do you know how
expensive this dress is?!"
With that, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Sylvie.
Nevertheless, Patricia grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
An enraged Adeline scolded, "Patricia! This b*stard is as annoying as you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Patricia slapped her in the face.
"Adeline, watch out for your words! Youâre the b*stard!"
In the meantime, Adeline was a little stunned after getting slapped.
When she came back to her senses, she was instantly angered.
How dare this b*tch slap me! Thus, she went mad and tried to pull Patriciaâs hair savagely.
Nonetheless, Patricia pushed her away forcefully, which resulted in Adeline staggering backward as
she fell.
Not only that, she even slammed into the serverâs tray, and the soup spilled all over her.
At that moment, Adeline felt utterly terrible.
When she turned around, her eyes were full of hatred.
Therefore, she charged at Patricia as she lost herself in her anger.
"Bring it on, Patricia!"
Patricia dodged her, making her throw herself on Liam.
The force pushed Liam to retreat several steps and he almost bumped into Isaac.
"President Arnold, did I knock into you?" he asked, looking nervous.
Then, he scolded, "Where does this crazy woman come from? Canât she see what kind of place weâre
at? She almost ran into President Arnold!"
When Adeline heard this, she looked up with her hair in a messy state.Then, her eyes slightly propped
up, and she quickly took a few steps back.
Shortly after, she pointed to Patricia, who wasnât far away.
"Ise, she bullied me."
After hearing that, Isaac looked over and saw a woman.
The woman was wearing an off-white sweater and a pair of skinny blue jeans today.
Although she was dressed casually, she looked gorgeous today compared to the helter-skelter
appearance in the hospital that day.
At that moment, he found the woman mesmerizing, especially that pair of big round eyes that were as
bright as the stars in the night sky.He was stunned, and when he looked into her eyes, he felt a sense
of familiarity.
It was like they had known each other for a very long time.
When Adeline saw he didnât speak and seemed stunned, she approached him.
"Ise, youâre my fiancé.So, you have to help me to vent my grievances."
Isaac glanced at her lightly when he heard her demands.
"Miss Aniston, youâre quite fast in getting into your role."
For a moment, Adeline was a little flustered.She was afraid that he would tell everyone that their
relationship was fake.
If that happened, the pretense that she put up in front of Patricia would be blown.
Sylvie was disappointed when she saw the handsome Isaac, who resembled her brother, being
acquainted with Adeline.
Hence, her dramatic side instantly surfaced and she trotted to Adelineâs side.
"Iâm sorry, Granny.I didnât mean to stain your dress.Donât hit me, and donât hit my mommy, okay?"
