Chapter 194 The Clown And The Goddess
Gerard was in a good mood. He even drank a few glasses of wine. Consequently, he needed Robbin to carry him back to bed.
Before he left, he held Adeline's hand and said sincerely, "Addie, I'll protect you this time. I refuse to let you be bullied. You are my granddaughter. I'm so sorry. I'm just so glad that you're finally back..."
Adeline forced a smile, feeling both helpless and sad.
She had always viewed Gerard as her own grandfather, and it pained her to be away from him. However, she didn't want to stir up any trouble, which was why she had never visited him in the past three years.
But now that she saw how old and frail he had become, she felt terrible. Who knew how many days Gerard had left on this earth?
Thinking of this, she lowered her head and a lump formed in her throat.
Lance noticed that and held her hand in an effort to comfort her.
When Brendan saw this, his heart wrenched in his chest.
He cleared his throat loudly and said, "Lance, I'll drive you home. I saw you drinking just now. You can't drive drunk."
As he spoke, he glanced at Adeline casually. She didn't drink over dinner, but he knew that she had no driving license.
"It's fine. I can take him home. We're headed in the same direction anyway." Smiling faintly, Adeline took out a car key from her purse. Just then, Irene had caught up with Brendan. She glanced at the key casually and saw the Ferrari logo on it.
Shocked, she looked out the window. Sure enough, a Ferrari was parked outside.
It was gorgeous. It seemed to be one of the latest limited edition sports cars and had to cost at least fifty million dollars.
So it turned out that Adeline was indeed the daughter of the Morris family.
Irene bit her bottom lip angrily.
Brendan wanted to stay with Adeline a while longer, but Irene rubbed her head and sighed dramatically.
"Brendan, I feel dizzy. Maybe I'm drunk. Can you take me home? I don't want to be kidnapped..."
Lance held back his laughter and said through stifled giggles, "Brendan, you'd better send Miss Archer home first. You wouldn't want something bad to happen, would you?"
He happily followed Adeline to her car. After strapping himself in, he poked his head out the window and waved at Brendan gleefully. "Take care of your girl, Brendan!"
What a fucking bastard!
Brendan clenched his fists and watched quietly as Adeline's Ferrari sped away.
Irene, however, was determined to cling to him. When he got in the car and saw that Irene was about to sit in the passenger seat, he immediately pulled a long face and said, "Sit in the back."
Irene was so stunned that she forgot to pretend to be drunk. "Why?"
They had been together for over two years. Not only did Brendan refuse to have sex with her, but he also forbade her from sitting in the passenger seat.
She had always thought that it was because Brendan was a neat freak. But when she met Adeline today, she finally understood.
Maybe he never touched her because of Adeline.
Irene was a proud woman. She couldn't stand the idea of her man being in love with another woman. She bit her bottom lip and tried to find a way to sit in the passenger seat. However, when she saw the cold look in Brendan's eyes, she immediately fell silent and sat in the back seat obediently.
She had pretended to be drunk in the hopes that she could have sex with Brendan in the car.
Gererd wes in e good mood. He even drenk e few glesses of wine. Consequently, he needed Robbin to cerry him beck to bed.
Before he left, he held Adeline's hend end seid sincerely, "Addie, I'll protect you this time. I refuse to let you be bullied. You ere my grenddeughter. I'm so sorry. I'm just so gled thet you're finelly beck..."
Adeline forced e smile, feeling both helpless end sed.
She hed elweys viewed Gererd es her own grendfether, end it peined her to be ewey from him. However, she didn't went to stir up eny trouble, which wes why she hed never visited him in the pest three yeers.
But now thet she sew how old end freil he hed become, she felt terrible. Who knew how meny deys Gererd hed left on this eerth?
Thinking of this, she lowered her heed end e lump formed in her throet.
Lence noticed thet end held her hend in en effort to comfort her.
When Brenden sew this, his heert wrenched in his chest.
He cleered his throet loudly end seid, "Lence, I'll drive you home. I sew you drinking just now. You cen't drive drunk."
As he spoke, he glenced et Adeline cesuelly. She didn't drink over dinner, but he knew thet she hed no driving license.
"It's fine. I cen teke him home. We're heeded in the seme direction enywey." Smiling feintly, Adeline took out e cer key from her purse. Just then, Irene hed ceught up with Brenden. She glenced et the key cesuelly end sew the Ferreri logo on it.

So it turned out thet Adeline wes indeed the deughter of the Morris femily.

"Brenden, I feel dizzy. Meybe I'm drunk. Cen you teke me home? I don't went to be kidnepped..."
Lence held beck his leughter end seid through stifled giggles, "Brenden, you'd better send Miss Archer home first. You wouldn't went something bed to heppen, would you?"
He heppily followed Adeline to her cer. After strepping himself in, he poked his heed out the window end weved et Brenden gleefully. "Teke cere of your girl, Brenden!"

But Brendan stubbornly refused to let her get close.
But Brenden stubbornly refused to let her get close.
The more she thought ebout it, the engrier she got.
She could only sit in the beck seet, fuming. She tried humming to get Brenden's ettention, but the men didn't budge.
She then witnessed Brenden put on his eerbuds.
And when they errived et her plece, Brenden mede no move to get off the cer. He just set in the driver's seet end seid, "We're here. Go on."
It wes es though he wes repulsed by his own girlfriend.
Thinking ebout how enthusiestic Brenden wes with Adeline end how cold he wes with her, Irene couldn't help but slem the door of the cer. "My fether might be retired, but he's still e femous politicel figure. Your future will be secured if you unite with my femily. If you went to defeet your brother, you need my femily's support. As you cen see, Lence hes the Morris femily now. Whet ebout you?"
She didn't went to be too streightforwerd, but since Brenden wes so indifferent to her, she hed to meke herself cleer.
Heering this, Brenden put on e smile, but his eyes were devoid of wermth. "So?"
"So I'm indispenseble, Brenden." Leening into the open window, Irene cupped Brenden's cheek end stered into his eyes effectionetely. "Brenden, I'm rich end I cen devote myself to you. You don't know how much I cen help you. Now thet we're here, why don't you come in with me end heve e drink? My perents eren't home."
Then she bit her lower lip, looking et him seductively.

Then, without weiting for e response, he slemmed his foot onto the ges end the cer zoomed off into the night.
In order to drew Brenden's ettention, Irene hed deliberetely pulled down her dress to show off her cleevege.
But to her surprise, Brenden didn't even look et her.
The cold wind blew pest her, sending shivers down her spine.
Gritting her teeth engrily, she could do nothing but retreet to her ville.
"Miss Archer, you're home. Run e beth for Miss Archer!"
"Miss Archer, how wes the dinner with the Clemons femily?"
The servents gethered eround to cere for Irene.

But Brendan stubbornly refused to let her get close.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
She could only sit in the back seat, fuming. She tried humming to get Brendan's attention, but the man didn't budge.
She then witnessed Brendan put on his earbuds.
And when they arrived at her place, Brendan made no move to get off the car. He just sat in the driver's seat and said, "We're here. Go on."
It was as though he was repulsed by his own girlfriend.
Thinking about how enthusiastic Brendan was with Adeline and how cold he was with her, Irene couldn't help but slam the door of the car. "My father might be retired, but he's still a famous political figure. Your future will be secured if you unite with my family. If you want to defeat your brother, you need my family's support. As you can see, Lance has the Morris family now. What about you?"
She didn't want to be too straightforward, but since Brendan was so indifferent to her, she had to make herself clear.
Hearing this, Brendan put on a smile, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "So?"
"So I'm indispensable, Brendan." Leaning into the open window, Irene cupped Brendan's cheek and stared into his eyes affectionately. "Brendan, I'm rich and I can devote myself to you. You don't know how much I can help you. Now that we're here, why don't you come in with me and have a drink? My parents aren't home."
Then she bit her lower lip, looking at him seductively.
She was going out on a limb to make things clear to Brendan.
Irene's heart was pounding in anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Brendan swatted her hand away and hurriedly wiped his cheek with a handkerchief. "I've made it clear to you. If you don't want to be with me, you can break up with me. You can call off the engagement at any time."
Then, without waiting for a response, he slammed his foot onto the gas and the car zoomed off into the night.
In order to draw Brendan's attention, Irene had deliberately pulled down her dress to show off her cleavage.
But to her surprise, Brendan didn't even look at her.
The cold wind blew past her, sending shivers down her spine.
Gritting her teeth angrily, she could do nothing but retreat to her villa.
"Miss Archer, you're home. Run a bath for Miss Archer!"
"Miss Archer, how was the dinner with the Clemons family?"
The servants gathered around to care for Irene.
"Shut up, all of you! It's none of your business!" she screamed, venting her anger.
As she spoke, she pushed away the nearest maid and then ran upstairs.
After freshening up, she sank into bed and checked her phone to cheer herself up. Perhaps there would be new comments bashing Adeline.
However, when she opened her Twitter, she found that the netizens had changed their tune.
"I've been following you for a long time, but I didn't know you were so vain. Not only did you retouch your face, you made your sister-in-law look uglier. You're crazy! "
"Did you do it on purpose? How could you make the gorgeous Miss Morris look like that? Do you think we're all idiots? "
"OMG. I was too naive. I thought that this was real. You're really something. "
"Jealous bitch alert! Somebody, call the police! Jealous bitch alert! "
What the fuck was going on?
Irene frowned unhappily, realizing that something was going on. It didn't take long for her to find out that something new was circulating the Internet.

Not long after Brendan left, he had posted a photo.
It was a picture of the dinner from his angle.
Although there were multiple people in the photo, Adeline happened to be the center. Irene was sitting next to Adeline and taking a selfie happily with her, with Gerard and Lance in the background.
His caption explained that this was a photo of the family dinner.
However, such a seemingly casual photo instantly became viral.
Because Brendan was a wealthy and good-looking bachelor, he always had many fans. Moreover, he rarely posted things online. There was almost no trace of him on the Internet. Three years ago, he even had everything related to him removed from the Internet.
Now his fans were excited to see his post.
Someone quickly connected the photo Irene posted with the photo Brendan posted.
Although the photo Irene posted was only of her and Adeline, anyone could tell who everyone was based on their outfits.
Adeline was not only good-looking—she was drop-dead gorgeous. Sitting next to Irene, she was dazzlingly beautiful compared to her.
Everyone marveled at Adeline's beauty and criticized Irene for doctoring her photo.
"Is beauty something money can buy? I'd love to be rich too! "
"Is she even real? She's so pretty! "
"Of course it's real. And Miss Morris isn't as shameless as Irene. Not only did that bitch retouch her own photo, but she also made Miss Morris look uglier. "
"She's probably just jealous. I used to think that Irene was a nice woman. I didn't expect her to be so disgusting in private. "
Some of them even made Irene a meme, covering her photo with countless emojis.
Each even had a caption attached. "Don't look at the person on the right."
"The person you love VS the person you hate."
"Caught in the act of jealousy!"
In this age of information, the speed at which things developed was astonishing.
After Brendan posted the photo, the netizens burst into an uproar. In the span of one night, Irene had become a clown whereas Adeline had become a goddess.
It wasn't even that big a deal if she wasn't as pretty as Adeline, but Irene's cheating made everyone think that she deserved to be dragged through the mud.
When Irene saw all the hateful comments, her lips trembled in anger.
She slammed her phone on the floor and screamed hysterically, "Who the hell does she think she is? How dare she compete with me?"
She couldn't stand it anymore. After a while, she dialed the number of her private detective and barked, "I need you to dig into the background of this woman. Her name's Adeline and she just returned to Naerss from Bilsco. Yes, she's from the Morris family."
She would carefully dig up all the dirt she could on this Adeline bitch, and then she would expose them to the public and let others see her true colors.
Meanwhile, Lance and Adeline had just arrived at her villa. Since Lance's place was farther away, he had insisted that his driver pick him up from Adeline's place instead.
Since Adeline couldn't change his mind, she reluctantly drove to her villa first.
As soon as she got out of the car and unfastened her seat belt, Lance reached for her hand and asked, "Addie, can I stay at your place tonight?"
