The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 684

"I gave you my credit card, didn't I?"

Before they left the house, Lance had used the excuse of not wanting to carry his wallet, handing his phone and black card over to Catherine.

"That's your money," Catherine hissed.

Lance frowned. "Why do you insist on drawing such a clear line between us?"

"Because it's necessary. And even putting that aside, a baby doesn't need ludicrously expensive things. As long as it's pure cotton and comfortable, it's fine."

It wasn't that Catherine was stingy; she just hated getting ripped off.

Babies only cared about comfort, not designer labels. The best fabric was simply cotton. These brands slapped on a bunch of pretentious jargon and marked the prices up hundreds of times over, treating consumers like total suckers.

She wanted to leave, but Lance stood his ground. Just as they were locked in a standoff, a sudden commotion erupted down the corridor.

Catherine glanced toward the noise and immediately spotted Sarah being forcefully marched out of an international designer boutique by two burly bodyguards.

Daniel followed closely behind. His face was a livid, stormy gray—darker and more terrifying than Cabinda's bleakest winter skies.

"Dad, there are so many people watching! Let her go!"

Adelina jogged after them, pleading, "Whatever it is, we can just talk it out!"

Daniel halted and glared at her with heavy disgust. "I tried 'talking it out', but neither of you listened. You forced my hand! Isn't it enough that you've dragged the Green family name through the mud from Cabinda all the way to Eldervale? Do you intend to humiliate us across the entire globe before you're satisfied?"

"But what you're saying makes no sense!"

Adelina instinctively shot back, "I can't just give up on Lance. I—"

"Adelina, don't waste your breath on him! Get out of here!"

Unable to break free from the bodyguards' iron grip, Sarah completely abandoned her dignity, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Stick to our plan!"

Daniel wasn't just here to drag his wife back; his mission was to throw Adelina on the first flight to Cabinda as well.

Hearing Sarah's outburst, he immediately lunged to grab Adelina.

Adelina reacted quickly, dodging his grasp and sprinting in the opposite direction.
