Adelaide was wronged by Clarissa time and time again, being called bastard by Clarissa!
Adelaide’s hatred towards Greyson from the beginning had gradually turned into expectations, hoping that he could tell people all over the world that Adelaide was Greyson’s biological daughter. But Greyson was unwilling to tell anyone that Adelaide was his biological daughter until he died.
"What?" Adelaide deliberately pretended to be confused.
Hanna took her hand hurriedly and said, "Adelaide, I know that you hate your father for abandoning your mother. I also know how much hardship you have suffered because of being called the bastard. But now if you agree to bury your mother and father together, how angry will Flora be when she knows?"
Hanna and Adelaide were best friends. They know each other’s everything, including some family's affairs. After hearing Adelaide’s mother’s matters, Hanna deeply felt sorry for Adelaide's mother. What a perfect woman! It could be seen from the photo that she was noble and elegant. But she was so stubborn. When she knew that her husband had an affair with another woman, she was so angry that she passed away.
Adelaide’s father refused to defend for Adelaide, which made Adelaide feel wronged. Hanna also felt pity and heartache for Adelaide.
However, Greyson clearly wrote in his will that he wanted to be buried next to Adelaide's mother. Under Adelaide's strong opposition and dissatisfaction, Greyson could only be buried in the same cemetery as Adelaide’s mother.
Adelaide knew what Hanna meant. Flora also came to her several times, saying that Greyson was her husband and could not be buried with other women. With the time passed by, everyone forgot that Flora was a mistress. Flora became Greyson’s legal wife. Adelaide's mother was only Greyson’s ex-wife. Even the tombstone was just inscribed with Rebecca Houghton's name, not Greyson's beloved wife.
Adelaide happened to hold the same view with Flora in this matter. She felt that Greyson was not worthy of her mother. As Greyson’s legal wife, Flora refused to agree with that they could be buried together.
Adelaide pondered for a long time. Finally, she shook her head. Her mother didn't want to see Greyson. Even if her mother went to the heaven, she didn't want to see Greyson again. Adelaide would never go against her mother's meaning, let alone forgave that jerk.
Upon seeing this, Hanna shook her head helplessly. What Adelaide did would only make Flora smug. Adelaide was stubborn. Her mind couldn’t be changed in a short time. Hanna sighed. The matter couldn’t be carried so hurry, "All right, we take the shells to see your Mom."
Hanna had always been by Adelaide’s side during the rock bottom in Adelaide’s life. During those days, Adelaide was so depressed. The only stuff she could talk about was her mother's tombstone. She often sat there alone and could chat alone for a day.
Adelaide nodded. She packed up some things for visiting her mother. When she went downstairs with Hanna, Damla happened to be in the kitchen and was busying with something. Adelaide felt that recruiting a new group of nannies was urgent. But she was afraid that Antonio would be unhappy. So she could only glare at Damla and sternly reprimand, "The house needs to ventilating. It’s so smelly. If it’s still smelly when I come back, you will have to leave!"
Adelaide just wanted to scare Damla. After all, Damla had worked in the Baron family for so many years. Adelaide knew that Antonio would not really want to fire Damla, for old time’s sake.
