Adeena raised her foot high up and kicked Jack.
“You b*tch!” Jack was on the floor, holding his chest with a disbelief expression.
“Who gave you the courage to...” She dusted her hands and brushed the dust off her shoulders.
“I‘ve given you a chance to walk away. Serve you right.”
“Jack, what happened?!” Ruth hurriedly emerged from the corner of the corridor, panicking,” Deena,
how could you do anything to Jack? He‘s the future heir of the Finnian family. If you were to offend the
Finnian family, Mr. and Mrs. Finnian won‘t let you off the hook!”
Adeena looked calm. “Well, in order to make sure the Willis family doesn‘t get entangled by this, let‘s
meet in court.”
“The Finnian family is very powerful. Why would you lodge a report?!” Ruth helped Jack to stand on his
feet.
“Deena, Jack just wanted to talk to you. Why do you hit him? How will you explain this to Mother and
Father?”
Adeena took out her phone from her purse and pressed it. They then heard Jack‘s voice playing from it.
“It doesn‘t matter. Since you‘ve given birth before, stop acting so loftily and go to a hotel room with
me...”
She chuckled, “Sounds like intentional harassment and offensive words. If I go to court, I don‘t think I‘ll
be the one accountable for those words.”
Ruth‘s face turned pale.
She had also wanted to make use of this opportunity to defame Adeena. Unexpectedly, she had
recorded her conversation with Jack.
Jack had an unpleasant expression. “Do you think that you can stand on the moral high ground with
just a recording? I didn‘t actually do anything to you, but you physically struck me.”
“Sure. I‘ll make this recording public. Well, it‘s good to let the citizens in Cloud City know the true colors
of the heir of the Finnian family.” Adeena smiled calmly as if no matter what happened, it would not
bother her at all.
“What happened?” Jada came over hurriedly.
“Mr. Finnian, you‘re hurt. Who did this to you?” Jack gritted his teeth.
“It‘s your adoptive daughter. Hmph, how dare a beloved b*tch hit me?!”
He shook off Ruth‘s hand, which had been touching his chest, and walked away. Jada looked at
Adeena with a serious expression.
“Deena, I told you before, a daughter of a wealthy family doesn‘t hit people.”
The second day after Adeena woke up from her coma, Jada realized that she knew martial arts.
So she tried to brainwash her not to use her martial arts so casually.
After all, they had hired bodyguards and servants now. No lady from an upper–class family would learn
such violent skills.
“Mother, does that mean that I shouldn‘t fight back even if Jack Finnian insults me?” Adeena asked
calmly. She was showing a masterful amount of restraint, but somehow her aura made Jada feel a little
overwhelmed.
“Mother, Jack is Mrs. Finnian‘s favorite son. She will definitely cause trouble for us this time.” Ruth said
anxiously beside her.
Jada had an unpleasant expression.
‘Two decades ago, the Willis family and the Finnian family were both the most powerful families in
Cloud City. But in this recent decade, the Finnian family buttered up with a big family in Sea City. Ever
since then, they became the richest family in Cloud City. They no longer were on the same level as us.
‘If the Finnian family were to cause trouble to us, we would be ruined.‘
“I‘ll handle this matter. Mother, don‘t worry about it.” Adeena said. “It‘s getting late. I‘ll head home now.”
She then walked through the corridor calmly. Ruth was furious.
“Mother, you shouldn‘t have adopted her back then. Who is she to act so loftily? Where does she even
get that confidence from?!”
