Chapter 521Chapter 521 The Next Step is Marriage
Upon hearing this, Aletta couldn’t help but be a little surprised. It hadn’t been long since they broke up,
yet the wedding was happening so quickly!
Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with her. She simply took out her phone and messaged Walt.
“I have a treatment today. Come back as soon as possible.”
At the moment, Walt was in the hospital corridor when he saw the message. He quickly replied, “Okay.”
He then put away his phone and calmly listened to Bonnie’s hysterical outburst like a lunatic.
“Louis has no right to take all the assets! In a divorce, things should be split evenly. I refuse to accept
this!” Bonnie looked at Adam and commanded, “Aren’t you a lawyer? You should fight for me!”
Adam’s expression wasn’t great, and his throat tightened slightly as he spoke, “Mom, you were the one
who had an affair first, and Mr. Rogers… he’s willing to leave you a house. That’s already going above
and beyond.”
Bonnie completely disregarded others’ feelings. She was filled with resentment towards Louis. When
she heard Adam’s words, she immediately became displeased and angrily shouted, “What about him?
Didn’t he also have an affair? That slut even got pregnant with his bastard!”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookThroughout the morning, Adam listened to his mother’s crazy ranting. He seemed accustomed to it and
his tone grew colder as he said, “The child is no longer there, and there’s no evidence of them being
together. On the other hand, the evidence of your affair is firmly in their control. I can’t do anything
about it.”
Bonnie had been pushed to her limits after enduring so much anger. Her heart was a mess, like a
bomb ready to explode. Upon hearing Adam’s words, she became furious and yelled, “What do youmean no evidence? That woman came to our house, and so many servants saw them in bed together!
Are they all blind??”
Adam furrowed his brow, his tone firm, “They are the Rogers Family’s servants! They are paid by Louis.
Do you think they would stand on your side?”
Bonnie’s heart spasmed with anger, her face turning pale. Nothing seemed to work for her. She could
only point at Adam and vent her frustration, “I’ve raised you for so many years, and when I needed you
the most, why are you so useless? Everything is hopeless, and I can’t even gather evidence. And you,
you’re my biggest stain! If it weren’t for having you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
After finishing her tirade, she stared at Adam, her eyes filled with resentment, as if he was the culprit
responsible for everything.
Adam’s face turned ashen, his hands clenched tightly
beneath his sleeves. The remnants of motherly affection in his heart were almost completely
extinguished.
Every word of this conversation fell into Walt’s ears. He looked at his deranged mother and felt that she
was truly beyond redemption.
Adam clearly felt the same way. Moreover, he had been dealing with all these troubles, going back and
forth between Bonnie and Louis, for so long. He had done everything he could.
So, he remained silent, letting Bonnie curse and rant to her heart’s content.
Only when she had exhausted herself from the outburst did they leave the hospital room.
Walt, feeling sorry for him, whispered, “Adam, you don’t have to get involved in this anymore… You’ve
done enough!”Upon hearing this, a deep weariness washed over Adam’s face. Once a spirited and accomplished
lawyer, he now seemed to have fallen into despair.
Adam was innocent in Bonnie’s affair, but during this period, he had faced a lot of hostility.
Being berated by his once respected father, who called him a bastard, and now being pointed at by his
biological mother as a stain… It was a taste that was unbearable!
With these thoughts, Adam couldn’t help but think of Aletta, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
After all, she was their biological daughter.
But since returning to the Rogers Family, she had faced false accusations, disdain, and countless
blames thrown at her.
At that time, she had just entered society. How must she have
felt…
These strikingly similar circumstances kept swirling in Adam’s mind, weighing heavily on his chest,
making it hard for him to breathe.
He leaned against the wall, feeling lost and empty inside, and with a touch of self-mockery in his voice,
he said, “I used to think Aletta was full of thorns and cunning, but now I understand that she was just
protecting herself… I feel truly ashamed of how I treated her in this whole situation.”
Walt listened and spoke gently, “Aletta is good and obedient, a remarkable person. She has never done
anything wrong. It’s just that her parents never made an effort to truly understand her. Sometimes, I
regret not coming back earlier, so I could protect her when she needed it the most. It’s too late to say
these things now, but in the future, I want to be a good family to her and give her the warmth and
support of a home.”Adam responded with a subdued “Hmm” and didn’t say anything further.
Walt didn’t say anything either and silently stood with him for a while before leaving.
When Walt arrived home, he placed an exquisite small box on the coffee table and said to Aletta, who
was sitting on the couch, “I brought you some sweet treats.”
Aletta glanced at it.
Through the packaging, she could vaguely see a fully pink small cake…
It was quite girlish.
She couldn’t help but smile, looking at him, and asked, “Did you get it wrong? Isn’t it for the kids?”
Walt shook his head and said clearly, “No, it’s for you. I thought you would like it.”
A warm feeling washed over Aletta upon hearing his words.
She glanced at the cake again, smiled at him, and said, “Okay, I’ll have it after I finish my treatment.”
Meanwhile, on his way to the company, Jason received a report from Eaton regarding Bonnie and
Louis’ situation.
Upon hearing about their divorce, Jason didn’t react much.
“I hope they won’t come and bother the old folks at the Rogers Family anymore. It would be good for
Aletta to have a little less to worry about.”
Eaton shared the sentiment.Jason didn’t waste words, looked at his watch, and calmly instructed, “Bring all the urgent documents
that need to be handled in the next two days. Aletta will be going abroad for treatment, and she won’t
have time then.”
Eaton nodded to indicate his understanding.
He knew that his boss now placed Aletta as his top priority, and he had long been aware of it.
Upon arriving at the company, Jason immediately started working feverishly.
In the afternoon, Old Mr. Hill called, his voice loud and booming, “You brat! You’ve proposed marriage,
so shouldn’t you invite the girl’s parents for a meal? Shouldn’t you prepare the betrothal gifts properly?
And the engagement ceremony, shouldn’t you start planning for that? Don’t just focus on work at the
company all day long. You’re going to be a family man; you should know how to take care of your
family! What’s this? Do you want to repeat the same old mistakes and go down that road again?”
