When the onlookers heard this, they all felt Adeline's words ridiculous, "Damn, how could she be so shameless?"
"So, in her opinion, her daughter isn't to be blamed at all?"
"Forget about the world views. Just with her intelligence, why does she have a daughter like Jessica? Lucky her!"
"Cathleen is the most pathetic one, her fiancé does not like her at all."
Cathleen was embarrassed to be discussed by others like that. She just wanted to leave, but she couldn't.
She walked up to Danis with anger and pulled him with all her strength, "Danis, you've kneeled and apologized, can we go now?"
"You can go, I'm sorry." Danis kneeled on the ground and did not move. No matter what Cathleen and Adeline said to him, he replied to them with nothing but a cold face. Occasionally, he would apologize to Angela.
Seeing that she couldn't take Danis away, Adeline went into Dream Club for some help, "Where is your club manager? Ask him to come out to see me."
"Okay, please wait." The staff said.
Gabriela came down just in time with a bright smile, "Mrs. Smith, why are you so angry? Someone, go make a cup of tea for Mrs. Smith to calm her down."
"No need!" Adeline said indignantly, "The entrance of the clubhouse is also under your control, right? You hurry up and tell those people to leave and do what they need to do."
Gabriela sighed lightly, "You think too highly of me. Our customers here are rich and famous and I can't control them at all. I'm really sorry."
No matter how Adeline forced her, Gabriela only apologized and asked for Adeline's forgiveness, which made Adeline very angry.
In the Harvey Group, President's office.
James answered a call. When he heard the request from the other side, he said, "Dad, you also know that I have just been removed from my position as president and my only five percent of shares have been confiscated, and now I am being investigated for economic crimes. How can I dare to offend others when I can't even protect myself?"
"Don't try to fool me!" Jason said in a deep voice, "Adeline said that Dream Club has been surrounded by a lot of people. Since you are the top boss of the club, shouldn't you step in to deal with it?"
James knocked on the desktop with his fingers a few times, "Dad, since you are so concerned about Adelin, why don't you step in to deal with the trouble for her? Those people at the door are all juniors, they should listen to you."
"Nonsense!" Jason said, "Those people are all kids from rich or powerful families. If I step in, unnecessary trouble will be brought to us!"
James pulled his lips, "Since you insist, it seems to be my fault if I don't go. I will tell my grandfather that you are having an affair with Adeline. And to save your heroine, you ask me to..."
"James!" Jason interrupted James with a warning.
James snickered, "What should I do? When I refuse, you are angry. When I agree, you are also angry. I still have work to do. I gotta go."
With that, he hung up the phone without waiting for his father's reply.
James went back to the files but didn't turn a page after a long time. He closed the file, stood up, put his trench coat on his arm, walked over, and pushed open the door of the lounge, "Come out with me."
"Why?" Angela frowned slightly and looked up at him. Then she turned her eyes away and stood up to put on her coat.
