Patricia didnât want to go along with Adelineâs words. She knew whether the man was old or not, after
all.
Seeing Adelineâs smug look that wanted to see her unhappy, she decided not to let Adeline get her way
and changed the subject. Patricia knew that in the Aniston Family, Adeline was a pampered young
lady. Her manicure probably cost tens of thousands, and the diamonds on her nails were all real.
âTheyâre quite pretty!â
After Patricia finished speaking, she turned back to her desk and added, âIâm talking about your nails,
though.â
She didnât mean Adelineâs looks. In front of her, Adeline could only be an ugly duckling.
This was something Adeline knew since she was young. Her mother was not ugly, and her father was
also handsome, but she inherited all of their shortcomings. She was born with small eyes, a big round
face, and an extremely flat nose.
She was annoyed by this, but fortunately, she had secretly gone to get plastic surgery a few years ago.
Her nose bridge had been raised while her eyes were surgically altered. At the very least, she was now
considered a beauty in a crowd of people. However, as soon as she stood beside Patricia, she was
instantly nothing.
Thinking of this, she was irritated. It would be better if Patricia died, but that wasnât the case.
She clenched her hands into fists and stared at Patricia coldly, her hatred bubbling up. âEven if Iâm not
as beautiful as you, my life is better than yours. I live the life of a wealthy Miss Aniston. What about
you? Hmph! You havenât had a mother since you were a child, and your father doesnât like you either.
Moreover, you live with three children at such a young age. Youâll die from exhaustion.â
When Patricia heard this, her face changed slightly. âWho caused me not to live well? Adeline, there is
karma in this world. Sooner or later, you and your mother will suffer retribution.â
The two of them quarreled, and when Adeline saw that Patricia was becoming more articulate, she
crossed her arms around her chest.
âMiss Aniston, I want coffee. Go and pour me some.â
Patricia was sorting out Isaacâs recent itinerary, and she had to study and prepare for the university
entrance examination. Now that her job was stable, she wanted to start improving herself.
âMiss Aniston, President Isaac has specified that Iâm his personal secretary, and I can only serve him.â
Of course, Isaac didnât say such a thing, but when he wasnât there, she could say anything.
Adeline was so livid that she got up and walked over with daggers in her eyes.
After pushing everything on Patriciaâs table to the ground, she cursed like crazy. âPatricia, youâre just
his secretary! A worker! Donât think that youâve really become Mrs. Arnold after the news.â
Meanwhile, the other woman watched as her cup shattered into pieces. She had made it herself with
her three children, so it was very meaningful. She stood up from the chair and pushed Adeline.
âAdeline, you lunatic!â
She bent over to pick up the pieces of the cup, which had a group photo of the four of them. However,
the cup was all shattered now. This d*mn girl is still just as abominable as ever.
Adeline, having been pushed away, was full of fury. She hated that Patricia could see Isaac every day,
so she wanted to drive her away.
She grabbed Patriciaâs hair, but the latter was not a pushover either.
Since she had worked downtown before, Zachary found her a taekwondo teacher and had her learn to
protect herself. Now, she was a black belt fighter.
She reacted by turning around and pushing Adeline to the ground.
Adeline didnât expect this, so she groaned in pain. âAh⦠She hit me! Miss Aniston hit me!â
She was screaming and crying, sounding miserable enough. When she raised her hand to wipe away
the tears, there was a smirk in her eyes. Patricia, letâs see if you can stay in this company. Heâll
definitely fire you.
