Chapter 521 The Next Step is Marriage
Upon hearing this, Aletta couldn’t help but be a little surprised. It hadn’t been long since they broke up, yet the wedding was happening so quickly!
Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with her. She simply took out her phone and messaged Walt.
“I have a treatment today. Come back as soon as possible.”
At the moment, Walt was in the hospital corridor when he saw the message. He quickly replied, “Okay.” He then put away his phone and calmly listened to Bonnie’s hysterical outburst like a lunatic.
“Louis has no right to take all the assets! In a divorce, things should be split evenly. I refuse to accept this!” Bonnie looked at Adam and commanded, “Aren’t you a lawyer? You should fight for me!”
Adam’s expression wasn’t great, and his throat tightened slightly as he spoke, “Mom, you were the one who had an affair first, and Mr. Rogers… he’s willing to leave you a house. That’s already going above and beyond.”
Bonnie completely disregarded others’ feelings. She was filled with resentment towards Louis. When she heard Adam’s words, she immediately became displeased and angrily shouted, “What about him? Didn’t he also have an affair? That slut even got pregnant with his bastard!”

Throughout the morning, Adam listened to his mother’s crazy ranting. He seemed accustomed to it and his tone grew colder as he said, “The child is no longer there, and there’s no evidence of them being together. On the other hand, the evidence of your affair is firmly in their control. I can’t do anything about it.”
Bonnie had been pushed to her limits after enduring so much anger. Her heart was a mess, like a bomb ready to explode. Upon hearing Adam’s words, she became furious and yelled, “What do you mean no evidence? That woman came to our house, and so many servants saw them in bed together! Are they all blind??”
Adam furrowed his brow, his tone firm, “They are the Rogers Family’s servants! They are paid by Louis. Do you think they would stand on your side?”
Bonnie’s heart spasmed with anger, her face turning pale. Nothing seemed to work for her. She could only point at Adam and vent her frustration, “I’ve raised you for so many years, and when I needed you the most, why are you so useless? Everything is hopeless, and I can’t even gather evidence. And you, you’re my biggest stain! If it weren’t for having you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
After finishing her tirade, she stared at Adam, her eyes filled with resentment, as if he was the culprit responsible for everything.
Adam’s face turned ashen, his hands clenched tightly
beneath his sleeves. The remnants of motherly affection in his heart were almost completely extinguished.
Every word of this conversation fell into Walt’s ears. He

looked at his deranged mother and felt that she was truly beyond redemption.
Adam clearly felt the same way. Moreover, he had been dealing with all these troubles, going back and forth between Bonnie and Louis, for so long. He had done everything he could.
So, he remained silent, letting Bonnie curse and rant to her heart’s content.
Only when she had exhausted herself from the outburst did they leave the hospital room.
Walt, feeling sorry for him, whispered, “Adam, you don’t have to get involved in this anymore… You’ve done enough!”
Upon hearing this, a deep weariness washed over Adam’s face. Once a spirited and accomplished lawyer, he now seemed to have fallen into despair.
Adam was innocent in Bonnie’s affair, but during this period, he had faced a lot of hostility.
Being berated by his once respected father, who called him a bastard, and now being pointed at by his biological mother as a stain… It was a taste that was unbearable!
With these thoughts, Adam couldn’t help but think of Aletta, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
After all, she was their biological daughter.
But since returning to the Rogers Family, she had faced false accusations, disdain, and countless blames thrown at her.
At that time, she had just entered society. How must she have
felt…
These strikingly similar circumstances kept swirling in Adam’s mind, weighing heavily on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
He leaned against the wall, feeling lost and empty inside, and with a touch of self-mockery in his voice, he said, “I used to think Aletta was full of thorns and cunning, but now I understand that she was just protecting herself… I feel truly ashamed of how I treated her in this whole situation.”
Walt listened and spoke gently, “Aletta is good and obedient, a remarkable person. She has never done anything wrong. It’s just that her parents never made an effort to truly understand her. Sometimes, I regret not coming back earlier, so I could protect her when she needed it the most. It’s too late to say these things now, but in the future, I want to be a good family to her and give her the warmth and support of a home.”
Adam responded with a subdued “Hmm” and didn’t say anything further.
Walt didn’t say anything either and silently stood with him for a while before leaving.
When Walt arrived home, he placed an exquisite small box on the coffee table and said to Aletta, who was sitting on the couch, “I brought you some sweet treats.”
Aletta glanced at it.
Through the packaging, she could vaguely see a fully pink small cake…
It was quite girlish.
