"I'll answer the phone call first." Adrienne saw Barrett's phone number.
She picked up the phone and went to the balcony to answer it.
Delmont didn't just stand there. He went to wash the red bayberries.
"Hello?" Adrienne's voice was very apathetic.
"Have you... been released?" Barrett's voice was a little shocked.
Why had she been released? Who was helping her?
Words couldn't describe how painful Adrienne's heart was when she heard that.
"Shouldn't I be released?" Her voice was extremely cold, and her question was sharp.
Barrett was stunned. He did not seem to understand Adrienne very much.
When his other daughters were acting coquettishly in his arms, Adrienne just stood aside and watched them indifferently. She was as lofty as her mother, and her personality was very unpleasant.
"Adrienne, now Simpson Group is in a mess. Tomorrow morning, you must go to the company to deal with the affairs of the investors. The gate of Simpson Group is about to be torn down by them. Those people go too far. Why didn't they act like this when they made money?"
Adrienne knew that Simpson Group had been summoned for a meeting, and the share prices took a sharp tumble. The investors could not stand it and made a scene in Simpson Group.
The result was entirely predictable. No, it was a part of Victor's plan.
"Aren't you clear about what you've done? What's more, you've never regarded me as your daughter!" Adrienne said angrily.
She had never been happy since she was a child, because she had such a selfish and cruel father.
The years when she was with Delmont were the happiest days in her life.
"Adrienne, what are you talking about? How can I never regard you as my daughter?"
"Adrienne, the butler said that you moved out. Where do you live? Are you used to living there? How about dad buying a new house for you?"
"You have to deal with the affairs in the company properly. Now you are the only one that our family can rely on."
Adrienne sneered. Barrett thought too highly of her.
"You want to sit idle and enjoy the fruits of my work, don't you? You registered me as the legal representative of the company. Isn't it because you want to sacrifice me at any time when something goes wrong?"
Barrett lost to Victor because he valued money too much. They attached great importance to profit and never put the money in her bank accounts. That was why she could be released so soon.
From all aspects of view, Barrett was blinded by greed. How could he care about her?
"Adrienne, you really misunderstand me." Barrett's voice sounded very sad.
However, Adrienne was not touched at all.
He was blinded by benefits and was enchanted by women. Did he know what familial love was?
"I'll go to the company. Don't call me again." Adrienne said and hung up the phone.
Turning around, she saw Delmont holding a plate of red bayberries and looking at her quietly.
He was very tall. His bangs were slightly messy, which made his well-defined features look very gentle. The apartment was very big, but it seemed to have become small because of him. The way he looked at her was always so tender and affectionate.
Delmont raised the plate in his hand, "Adrienne, eat the red bayberries. They're very sweet."
"Okay!" Adrienne walked over and felt warm in heart. The uncomfortable feeling seemed to have vanished in an instant.
Delmont picked up a red bayberry and fed her in a natural way.
"It's so sweet. Where did Eden pick it?" Adrienne took the plate and ate the red bayberries on the sofa.
Delmont sat next to her, "In the farm. Adrienne, feed me one."
Adrienne blushed slightly, "You're not disabled. Why should I feed you?"
"We fed each other before, didn't we?" Delmont looked at her with a slightly aggrieved expression.
