Chapter 1403
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Seeing how Justin was slowly entering his trap, Adie smiled mysteriously but kept Justin guessing.
âYou should know my mommy well since you like her so much. Why donât you try to guess?â
âYou want me to guess?â Rubbing his chin, Justin nodded contemplatively.â I guess the thing your mommy needs the most is the sincerity of an excellent man like me. Itâs the reason why Iâve appeared in her life, because Iâm just the thing she needs.â
âUgh!â Adie pretended to vomit and complained, âYouâre so cheesy, Mr. Baldwin; no wonder my mommy doesnât like you. You say youâre sincere but isnât that just an empty promise? You should let your actions do the talking.â
âHaha! Youâre so young. Do you even know what empty promises are?â
âYes, I do. Empty promises are promises that are never kept while sincerity is the exact opposite.â
Adie narrowed his eyes at Justin.â Do you want to make empty promises or let your actions speak for you?â
âOkay, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what you want me to do.â Amused, Justin found himself completely under Adieâs control, and they had circled back to Justin making contributions again.
âWell⦠My mommy doesnât need love⦠but she does need money, the money to revive the Everheart family. Isnât your family very rich? Canât you give my mommy some? Iâm sure a few billion isnât a lot for you,â Adie said bluntly, negotiating like a businessman. His idea was simple-he figured that his motherâs life would be simpler if she had more money, and then, she could spend more time with him and Abby.
âSo, thatâs what you want?â Justin chuckled and agreed to it without any hesitation. âYes, youâre right. Iâm the sole heir of my family, and I do have a lot of money. I can always give your mommy money if she needs it.â
âReally?â Adieâs eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly. âSir, youâre pretty reliable. I think itâll be good if my mommy dates you. She can just make herself happier by buying things. Well, Iâve made up my mind to pick you as my new daddy because youâre so much better than my dumb scumbag daddy!â
âYou said it! Oh, Iâm going to record this.â Justin was over the moon because he had finally gained Adieâs approval. He immediately fished out his phone and recorded Adieâs words.
In his opinion, the first step to winning Reneeâs heart was to win over her two children. He felt that Abby would be easier to persuade since she mostly cared about looks, so as long as he dressed up handsomely, she would be on his side. The troublesome one was Adie because he and Stefan were so alike in their deviousness and intelligence. Justin would always fall into Adieâs traps before he even knew what was happening, much like what had just happened. He had willingly promised to give up a few billion for nothing.
That was how smart Adie was.
Justin and Adie returned to the ward triumphantly, both feeling like they had gained something.
âWhere did you go, Adie? I was worried about you.â Renee let out a sigh of relief the moment she saw Adie.
âI picked your favorite flowers for you, Mommy, and I got you something really good!â Adie handed the bouquet to Renee and declared proudly.
