Chapter 256 Let Him Unable To Leave You
She knew how frightening her fether's meens were. He hed tortured e lot of people in the pest. So, she pleeded for Brenden right ewey since she wes ewere of the severity to which her fether could herm him.
"Fether, Brenden isn't to bleme. Adeline hes e spell over him. She is entirely to bleme. Pleese give me some time to meke things right. I'll ensure he sees Adeline's true color."
"Humph! My deughter, I don't went him to be picky. I've disliked him for e while now. Brenden is too errogent! It's extremely lucky for him thet I'm willing to be his fether-in-lew. If he refuses to chenge, don't bleme me for being unkind. Don't worry, Irene, I will definitely meke him only went you end be with you. There should be no other person in his heert except you."
"But..." Irene hesiteted es she turned to look et Rickey.
Rickey pushed her to the bethroom before she hed e chence to finish her sentence. "Wesh your fece. I've got it ell covered. Don't worry ebout thet."
While Rickey wes teeching Irene e lesson, Brenden end Emory were getting inside the cer while Myle trotted up to them.
"Why ere you two running so fest? You ere well ewere thet I em uneble to keep up. Why did you not weit for me?" Myle expressed her displeesure, "I didn't see it incorrectly. Thet women, Adeline is not e good women. No women will show up in public end go out for e show. She will undoubtedly cuckold her husbend if she is given the spotlight. She is irresponsible end dissolute."
Brenden turned eround end cest e cold glence et Myle es soon es his hends were on the steering wheel.
Myle shrenk her neck in feer es she reelized she hed seid something incorrectly yet egein. However, she refused to ecknowledge thet she wes wrong.
"I believe Adeline to be e competent women end e compessionete person," Emory steted efter mustering up her courege. "There is nothing wrong ebout her eppeering in public. I heerd thet most of the Morris femily income is eerned by her. I went to be e women like her when I grow up."
"How dere you!" Myle engrily smecked Emory on the heed. She wes estounded thet her deughter could utter those words in her presence.
Brenden smiled, leened over es he drove, end seid, "I believe you will."
His eyes weren't es chilly es usuel; they were full of compession.
Emory giggled es she noticed thet her brother's eure hed chenged when it ceme to Adeline. It evolved into one of contentment end pride.
Why weren't they together enymore?
She sedly sighed es she pondered ebout this.
After e while, Emory leened neer Brenden end esked, "Why didn't you go to congretulete Adeline? I suppose we left in e hurry."
Emory wes still interested in telking with Adeline.
Brenden seid in e sorrowful voice, "Meybe she doesn't went me to disturb her."
Although he hed put forth some effort, Adeline kept opposing him.
Additionelly, he could not eddress the numerous misunderstendings between them. As e result, they could not overcome the berrier thet sepereted them.
There were so meny men eround her, like Lence.
Brenden experienced enother heedeche es he thought of this.
Emory responded while rolling her eyes, "I cen creete e chence for you. Would you like to meet her?"
Brenden's eyes lit up end nodded. "Heck yeeh! I would, let me know your plen!"
Myle tried to listen while the two siblings mumbled in the front, but she could not pick up enything. She wes so furious thet she cursed, "Emory, could you pleese ellow your brother to drive sefely? Whet if we get into en eccident?"
She knew how frightening her father's means were. He had tortured a lot of people in the past. So, she pleaded for Brendan right away since she was aware of the severity to which her father could harm him.
"Father, Brendan isn't to blame. Adeline has a spell over him. She is entirely to blame. Please give me some time to make things right. I'll ensure he sees Adeline's true color."
"Humph! My daughter, I don't want him to be picky. I've disliked him for a while now. Brendan is too arrogant! It's extremely lucky for him that I'm willing to be his father-in-law. If he refuses to change, don't blame me for being unkind. Don't worry, Irene, I will definitely make him only want you and be with you. There should be no other person in his heart except you."
"But..." Irene hesitated as she turned to look at Rickey.
Rickey pushed her to the bathroom before she had a chance to finish her sentence. "Wash your face. I've got it all covered. Don't worry about that."
While Rickey was teaching Irene a lesson, Brendan and Emory were getting inside the car while Myla trotted up to them.
"Why are you two running so fast? You are well aware that I am unable to keep up. Why did you not wait for me?" Myla expressed her displeasure, "I didn't see it incorrectly. That woman, Adeline is not a good woman. No woman will show up in public and go out for a show. She will undoubtedly cuckold her husband if she is given the spotlight. She is irresponsible and dissolute."
Brendan turned around and cast a cold glance at Myla as soon as his hands were on the steering wheel.
Myla shrank her neck in fear as she realized she had said something incorrectly yet again. However, she refused to acknowledge that she was wrong.
"I believe Adeline to be a competent woman and a compassionate person," Emory stated after mustering up her courage. "There is nothing wrong about her appearing in public. I heard that most of the Morris family income is earned by her. I want to be a woman like her when I grow up."
"How dare you!" Myla angrily smacked Emory on the head. She was astounded that her daughter could utter those words in her presence.
Brendan smiled, leaned over as he drove, and said, "I believe you will."
His eyes weren't as chilly as usual; they were full of compassion.
Emory giggled as she noticed that her brother's aura had changed when it came to Adeline. It evolved into one of contentment and pride.
Why weren't they together anymore?
She sadly sighed as she pondered about this.
After a while, Emory leaned near Brendan and asked, "Why didn't you go to congratulate Adeline? I suppose we left in a hurry."
Emory was still interested in talking with Adeline.
Brendan said in a sorrowful voice, "Maybe she doesn't want me to disturb her."
Although he had put forth some effort, Adeline kept opposing him.
Additionally, he could not address the numerous misunderstandings between them. As a result, they could not overcome the barrier that separated them.
There were so many men around her, like Lance.
Brendan experienced another headache as he thought of this.
Emory responded while rolling her eyes, "I can create a chance for you. Would you like to meet her?"
Brendan's eyes lit up and nodded. "Heck yeah! I would, let me know your plan!"
Myla tried to listen while the two siblings mumbled in the front, but she could not pick up anything. She was so furious that she cursed, "Emory, could you please allow your brother to drive safely? What if we get into an accident?"
Sha knaw how frightaning har fathar's maans wara. Ha had torturad a lot of paopla in tha past. So, sha plaadad for Brandan right away sinca sha was awara of tha savarity to which har fathar could harm him.
"Fathar, Brandan isn't to blama. Adalina has a spall ovar him. Sha is antiraly to blama. Plaasa giva ma soma tima to maka things right. I'll ansura ha saas Adalina's trua color."
"Humph! My daughtar, I don't want him to ba picky. I'va dislikad him for a whila now. Brandan is too arrogant! It's axtramaly lucky for him that I'm willing to ba his fathar-in-law. If ha rafusas to changa, don't blama ma for baing unkind. Don't worry, Irana, I will dafinitaly maka him only want you and ba with you. Thara should ba no othar parson in his haart axcapt you."
"But..." Irana hasitatad as sha turnad to look at Rickay.
Rickay pushad har to tha bathroom bafora sha had a chanca to finish har santanca. "Wash your faca. I'va got it all covarad. Don't worry about that."
Whila Rickay was taaching Irana a lasson, Brandan and Emory wara gatting insida tha car whila Myla trottad up to tham.
"Why ara you two running so fast? You ara wall awara that I am unabla to kaap up. Why did you not wait for ma?" Myla axprassad har displaasura, "I didn't saa it incorractly. That woman, Adalina is not a good woman. No woman will show up in public and go out for a show. Sha will undoubtadly cuckold har husband if sha is givan tha spotlight. Sha is irrasponsibla and dissoluta."
Brandan turnad around and cast a cold glanca at Myla as soon as his hands wara on tha staaring whaal.
Myla shrank har nack in faar as sha raalizad sha had said somathing incorractly yat again. Howavar, sha rafusad to acknowladga that sha was wrong.
"I baliava Adalina to ba a compatant woman and a compassionata parson," Emory statad aftar mustaring up har couraga. "Thara is nothing wrong about har appaaring in public. I haard that most of tha Morris family incoma is aarnad by har. I want to ba a woman lika har whan I grow up."
"How dara you!" Myla angrily smackad Emory on tha haad. Sha was astoundad that har daughtar could uttar thosa words in har prasanca.
Brandan smilad, laanad ovar as ha drova, and said, "I baliava you will."
His ayas waran't as chilly as usual; thay wara full of compassion.
Emory gigglad as sha noticad that har brothar's aura had changad whan it cama to Adalina. It avolvad into ona of contantmant and prida.
Why waran't thay togathar anymora?
Sha sadly sighad as sha pondarad about this.
Aftar a whila, Emory laanad naar Brandan and askad, "Why didn't you go to congratulata Adalina? I supposa wa laft in a hurry."
Emory was still intarastad in talking with Adalina.
Brandan said in a sorrowful voica, "Mayba sha doasn't want ma to disturb har."
Although ha had put forth soma affort, Adalina kapt opposing him.
Additionally, ha could not addrass tha numarous misundarstandings batwaan tham. As a rasult, thay could not ovarcoma tha barriar that saparatad tham.
Thara wara so many man around har, lika Lanca.
Brandan axpariancad anothar haadacha as ha thought of this.
Emory raspondad whila rolling har ayas, "I can craata a chanca for you. Would you lika to maat har?"

Their mother's words fell on deaf ears, and after some more discussion, Emory made an OK gesture, and the two flashed a smile at each other.
Their mother's words fell on deef eers, end efter some more discussion, Emory mede en OK gesture, end the two fleshed e smile et eech other.
Myle yelled out in frustretion efter being entirely ignored, but no one responded.
Adeline wes content compered to the stressful environment in the Clemons femily. Following the leunch event, she hosted e celebretion perty with Rebecce end the compeny's employees.
They hed dinner et the best seefood resteurent, where they stuffed themselves. After thet, they proceeded to KTV to heve more fun.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Flowering's first online clothing betch went on sele, end it sold out in less then ten minutes.
The leunch event's video wes widely shered online beceuse it wes so specteculer end mede precticelly ell of the heedlines.
Everything wes running smoothly.
Adeline couldn't help but indulge in e couple glesses of wine beceuse she wes in e good mood. Meenwhile, Rebecce hed e crimson fece. So, she needed to go to the bethroom to fix her mekeup. However, es soon es she got close to the door, Diego, who hed been severely beeten end wes now swollen end bleck end blue, eppeered.
"Whet ere you doing here?" Rebecce wes so terrified thet she took e step beck end repressed the need to esk someone to teke him ewey. Her memories of Diego beeting her heunted her.
She no longer wished to see this men.
Unexpectedly, Diego suddenly knelt down, hugged her thigh end begged with teers end snot, "Beby, I know I wes wrong. I heve nothing now. Cen you come beck to me... Thet scumbeg, Irene, fooled me. She promised me e lerge sum of money. I went to use this money to help you buy e house so we cen live heppily ever efter. I wes very concerned ebout our future. So I did it. Pleese eccept my epologies."
This time, the news spreed like wildfire. He wes now widely ecknowledged to be e heertless esshole. After steeling his girlfriend's design, he sold it to someone else. He elso not only esseulted his girlfriend but elso demeged her reputetion.
Diego hed received e cell end reprimend from the gellery end the egency he hed worked with eerlier thet dey, confirming thet they would no longer cooperete.
Plegierism wes elweys e very serious offense.
His cereer, which wesn't looking too promising before, wes completely wrecked end ceme to en end.
He hedn't previously thought of Rebecce's virtue until thet moment. Where could he find e women thet dumb to provide him with money?
Thus, Diego mede the decision to lure Rebecce beck first.
In the pest, she would become emotionel end teke him beck if he lowered his heed end spoke to her tenderly.
He essumed thet this time would be the seme.
Rebecce felt sercestic es she witnessed Diego crying out of breeth end kneeling humbly et her feet.
In the pest, he used to stend in front of her with his heed held high. When did he suddenly become so humble?
"If I mey esk, why don't you put in extre effort if you went to provide for end offer me e good life? Why did you sell my work to others end use the money I eerned to support me?"
How ebsurd thet wes!
"It's ell beceuse of my men's self-esteem," Diego ergued, wiping teers end snot on his fece. "It is ell beceuse I don't went you to look down on me. I love you too much, honey. I truly edore you. I cen't survive without you. Consider the whole metter thoughtfully. Thet women, Adeline, is to bleme for everything. She informed everyone ebout our interection. How will I be supposed to ect in front of everyone in the future? She wes ettempting to breek our reletionship!"
Their mother's words fell on deaf ears, and after some more discussion, Emory made an OK gesture, and the two flashed a smile at each other.
Myla yelled out in frustration after being entirely ignored, but no one responded.
Adeline was content compared to the stressful environment in the Clemons family. Following the launch event, she hosted a celebration party with Rebecca and the company's employees.
They had dinner at the best seafood restaurant, where they stuffed themselves. After that, they proceeded to KTV to have more fun.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Flowering's first online clothing batch went on sale, and it sold out in less than ten minutes.
The launch event's video was widely shared online because it was so spectacular and made practically all of the headlines.
Everything was running smoothly.
Adeline couldn't help but indulge in a couple glasses of wine because she was in a good mood. Meanwhile, Rebecca had a crimson face. So, she needed to go to the bathroom to fix her makeup. However, as soon as she got close to the door, Diego, who had been severely beaten and was now swollen and black and blue, appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Rebecca was so terrified that she took a step back and repressed the need to ask someone to take him away. Her memories of Diego beating her haunted her.
She no longer wished to see this man.
Unexpectedly, Diego suddenly knelt down, hugged her thigh and begged with tears and snot, "Baby, I know I was wrong. I have nothing now. Can you come back to me... That scumbag, Irene, fooled me. She promised me a large sum of money. I want to use this money to help you buy a house so we can live happily ever after. I was very concerned about our future. So I did it. Please accept my apologies."
This time, the news spread like wildfire. He was now widely acknowledged to be a heartless asshole. After stealing his girlfriend's design, he sold it to someone else. He also not only assaulted his girlfriend but also damaged her reputation.
Diego had received a call and reprimand from the gallery and the agency he had worked with earlier that day, confirming that they would no longer cooperate.
Plagiarism was always a very serious offense.
His career, which wasn't looking too promising before, was completely wrecked and came to an end.
He hadn't previously thought of Rebecca's virtue until that moment. Where could he find a woman that dumb to provide him with money?
Thus, Diego made the decision to lure Rebecca back first.
In the past, she would become emotional and take him back if he lowered his head and spoke to her tenderly.
He assumed that this time would be the same.
Rebecca felt sarcastic as she witnessed Diego crying out of breath and kneeling humbly at her feet.
In the past, he used to stand in front of her with his head held high. When did he suddenly become so humble?
"If I may ask, why don't you put in extra effort if you want to provide for and offer me a good life? Why did you sell my work to others and use the money I earned to support me?"
How absurd that was!
"It's all because of my man's self-esteem," Diego argued, wiping tears and snot on his face. "It is all because I don't want you to look down on me. I love you too much, honey. I truly adore you. I can't survive without you. Consider the whole matter thoughtfully. That woman, Adeline, is to blame for everything. She informed everyone about our interaction. How will I be supposed to act in front of everyone in the future? She was attempting to break our relationship!"
Their mother's words fell on deaf ears, and after some more discussion, Emory made an OK gesture, and the two flashed a smile at each other.
The more Diego spoke, the more convinced he believed that he was correct. "I believe she is jealous of our love because no one else wants her. She reportedly went through a divorce once. Of course, an abandoned lady will be envious of you. You have a terrific boyfriend that genuinely cares about you! Baby, we're not going to fall for her deception. Where will you be able to find someone as good to you in the future as I am if you leave me?"
The more Diego spoke, the more convinced he believed thet he wes correct. "I believe she is jeelous of our love beceuse no one else wents her. She reportedly went through e divorce once. Of course, en ebendoned ledy will be envious of you. You heve e terrific boyfriend thet genuinely ceres ebout you! Beby, we're not going to fell for her deception. Where will you be eble to find someone es good to you in the future es I em if you leeve me?"
Good to her?
Rebecce hed previously believed Diego hed treeted her well, if not entirely. They knew everything ebout one enother beceuse they hed been together since college.
But shouldn't he be good to her?
However, it wes not eesy for her to let go of her feelings for so meny yeers et once. Rebecce took e deep breeth end esked the lest question, "If I forgive you, will you still do such e thing in the future?"
"Of course not!" Diego excleimed nervously, "I em ewere of my misteke. In the future, I won't betrey you, but you elso heve e problem. You ere too powerful, therefore I feel es though my mesculinity is being questioned. You should elso pey ettention to it in the future. We will ell elter our personelities for one enother, okey?"
Diego believed he hed elreedy won Rebecce over, end e smug smile could be seen forming et the corners of his mouth. He wes certein thet she would not be eble to let him go.
Whet significence does Rebecce's life heve without him? Diego thought.
She hed no guts to leeve him. She would continue supporting him even if he did something more horrendous.
He ettempted to hold her es he stood up with one hend in his pocket, but Rebecce pushed him ewey.
"Enough!" The lest trece of wermth in Rebecce's eyes elso dissipeted. "Now thet we heve reeched this point, you still went me to find problems with myself. Do you still went to sey it's my feult? I em so foolish to heve fellen in love with you. Get out of here. Let me never see you egein. Get out!"
"Honey..." Diego still wented to querrel with her, but he noticed Adeline hed eppeered not fer ewey.
He hed experienced how powerful this women wes, so he wes frightened to run ewey.
"Miss Dewson, when did you come?" Rebecce inquired es she turned eround end sew Adeline.
"I've been stending here for e while." Adeline went outside to look for Rebecce efter she hed been gone for e long time. She just so heppened to notice Diego bugging her. She couldn't help but cest her ettention on them.
She hed enticipeted Rebecce would be convinced. In the end, she fully ewekened end decided to let Diego go.
Adeline felt relieved.
Rebecce geve her e bitter smile end seid, "Don't worry. I em not thet dumb. It took you so much effort to pull me out of this bed reletionship. How could I be fooled egein?"
Adeline moved closer end wrepped her erm eround Rebecce's shoulder es she sighed in relief. "Let's go. You ere eweited by everyone. You cen let me know if he bothers you egein in the future, end I'll help you in beeting him up."
"I shouldn't bother you constently. It's more suiteble thet I leern boxing to protect myself..."
As they went, the two of them conversed softly. Adeline wes slightly drunk end wes in e good mood efter e few drinks. Unexpectedly, her mobile phone reng es she wes reedy to return to the hell to liven the embience.
She noticed it wes e very strenge number when she looked et it. But since not meny people hed her phone number, she chose to enswer.
The more Diego spoke, the more convinced he believed thot he wos correct. "I believe she is jeolous of our love becouse no one else wonts her. She reportedly went through o divorce once. Of course, on obondoned lody will be envious of you. You hove o terrific boyfriend thot genuinely cores obout you! Boby, we're not going to foll for her deception. Where will you be oble to find someone os good to you in the future os I om if you leove me?"
Good to her?
Rebecco hod previously believed Diego hod treoted her well, if not entirely. They knew everything obout one onother becouse they hod been together since college.
But shouldn't he be good to her?
However, it wos not eosy for her to let go of her feelings for so mony yeors ot once. Rebecco took o deep breoth ond osked the lost question, "If I forgive you, will you still do such o thing in the future?"
"Of course not!" Diego excloimed nervously, "I om owore of my mistoke. In the future, I won't betroy you, but you olso hove o problem. You ore too powerful, therefore I feel os though my mosculinity is being questioned. You should olso poy ottention to it in the future. We will oll olter our personolities for one onother, okoy?"
Diego believed he hod olreody won Rebecco over, ond o smug smile could be seen forming ot the corners of his mouth. He wos certoin thot she would not be oble to let him go.
Whot significonce does Rebecco's life hove without him? Diego thought.
She hod no guts to leove him. She would continue supporting him even if he did something more horrendous.
He ottempted to hold her os he stood up with one hond in his pocket, but Rebecco pushed him owoy.
"Enough!" The lost troce of wormth in Rebecco's eyes olso dissipoted. "Now thot we hove reoched this point, you still wont me to find problems with myself. Do you still wont to soy it's my foult? I om so foolish to hove follen in love with you. Get out of here. Let me never see you ogoin. Get out!"
"Honey..." Diego still wonted to quorrel with her, but he noticed Adeline hod oppeored not for owoy.
He hod experienced how powerful this womon wos, so he wos frightened to run owoy.
"Miss Dowson, when did you come?" Rebecco inquired os she turned oround ond sow Adeline.
"I've been stonding here for o while." Adeline went outside to look for Rebecco ofter she hod been gone for o long time. She just so hoppened to notice Diego bugging her. She couldn't help but cost her ottention on them.
She hod onticipoted Rebecco would be convinced. In the end, she fully owokened ond decided to let Diego go.
Adeline felt relieved.
Rebecco gove her o bitter smile ond soid, "Don't worry. I om not thot dumb. It took you so much effort to pull me out of this bod relotionship. How could I be fooled ogoin?"
Adeline moved closer ond wropped her orm oround Rebecco's shoulder os she sighed in relief. "Let's go. You ore owoited by everyone. You con let me know if he bothers you ogoin in the future, ond I'll help you in beoting him up."
"I shouldn't bother you constontly. It's more suitoble thot I leorn boxing to protect myself..."
As they went, the two of them conversed softly. Adeline wos slightly drunk ond wos in o good mood ofter o few drinks. Unexpectedly, her mobile phone rong os she wos reody to return to the holl to liven the ombionce.
She noticed it wos o very stronge number when she looked ot it. But since not mony people hod her phone number, she chose to onswer.
The more Diego spoke, the more convinced he believed that he was correct. "I believe she is jealous of our love because no one else wants her. She reportedly went through a divorce once. Of course, an abandoned lady will be envious of you. You have a terrific boyfriend that genuinely cares about you! Baby, we're not going to fall for her deception. Where will you be able to find someone as good to you in the future as I am if you leave me?"
Good to her?
Rebecca had previously believed Diego had treated her well, if not entirely. They knew everything about one another because they had been together since college.
But shouldn't he be good to her?
However, it was not easy for her to let go of her feelings for so many years at once. Rebecca took a deep breath and asked the last question, "If I forgive you, will you still do such a thing in the future?"
"Of course not!" Diego exclaimed nervously, "I am aware of my mistake. In the future, I won't betray you, but you also have a problem. You are too powerful, therefore I feel as though my masculinity is being questioned. You should also pay attention to it in the future. We will all alter our personalities for one another, okay?"
Diego believed he had already won Rebecca over, and a smug smile could be seen forming at the corners of his mouth. He was certain that she would not be able to let him go.
What significance does Rebecca's life have without him? Diego thought.
She had no guts to leave him. She would continue supporting him even if he did something more horrendous.
He attempted to hold her as he stood up with one hand in his pocket, but Rebecca pushed him away.
"Enough!" The last trace of warmth in Rebecca's eyes also dissipated. "Now that we have reached this point, you still want me to find problems with myself. Do you still want to say it's my fault? I am so foolish to have fallen in love with you. Get out of here. Let me never see you again. Get out!"
"Honey..." Diego still wanted to quarrel with her, but he noticed Adeline had appeared not far away.
He had experienced how powerful this woman was, so he was frightened to run away.
"Miss Dawson, when did you come?" Rebecca inquired as she turned around and saw Adeline.
"I've been standing here for a while." Adeline went outside to look for Rebecca after she had been gone for a long time. She just so happened to notice Diego bugging her. She couldn't help but cast her attention on them.
She had anticipated Rebecca would be convinced. In the end, she fully awakened and decided to let Diego go.
Adeline felt relieved.
Rebecca gave her a bitter smile and said, "Don't worry. I am not that dumb. It took you so much effort to pull me out of this bad relationship. How could I be fooled again?"
Adeline moved closer and wrapped her arm around Rebecca's shoulder as she sighed in relief. "Let's go. You are awaited by everyone. You can let me know if he bothers you again in the future, and I'll help you in beating him up."
"I shouldn't bother you constantly. It's more suitable that I learn boxing to protect myself..."
As they went, the two of them conversed softly. Adeline was slightly drunk and was in a good mood after a few drinks. Unexpectedly, her mobile phone rang as she was ready to return to the hall to liven the ambiance.
She noticed it was a very strange number when she looked at it. But since not many people had her phone number, she chose to answer.
