Scenes from the past three years filled Adeena‘s mind. Jada really pampered her own daughter, but
she also treated Adeena, the foster daughter, very well.
Adeena would have everything that Ruth had. Her room was as big as Ruth‘s room, and the layout,
decorations, and everything else were the same.
Jada treated her so nicely that she wondered if she was worthy of Jada‘s sincere treatment. Jada‘s
motherly love was also the reason why she was willing to remain in the Willis family. At least, she had
no plans to leave at the moment.
But the incident today... “You didn‘t like Jack, so I had to arrange another marriage for you. Hudson is a
little absurd, but he‘s not a bad person.” Jada‘s voice trembled, but she still forced herself to say, “If you
marry Hudson, I‘ll be here to protect you. He won‘t dare let you down.” Adeena chuckled. “Mom, have
you asked Grandma and Aunt Hailey about this? Have you asked Hudson for his opinion?” When she
saw Jada‘s silence, she resumed. “You set this up without getting anyone‘s permission. Did you ever
think of the consequences if Aunt Hailey gets angry? To her, I‘m just a foster daughter with a low
status. How will I be good enough for her son? Your actions will divide the Willis family and make it
easier for us to fall apart. Many families are watching us. As soon as the Willis family falls apart, they‘ll
pounce on us.”
“Adeena, it‘s not that serious.”
Jada moved her lips.
Kendry permitted it. As long as Kendry and Clarence agreed, the marriage would be successful. Hailey
had no right to oppose it. “Besides, you‘re excellent and capable, Adeena. How can you not be good
enough for Hudson? Don‘t look down on yourself.” Adeena lost her interest in listening to Jada. Jada‘s
overbearing love was creepy, and the trap today was even creepier.
She did not want to look into the reason.
“Mom, I‘ll move out tomorrow,” Adeena said indifferently. “Of course, you‘re still my mother, and Dad is
still my father. That won‘t change just because I move out.”
Jada was stunned. At that moment, Brady walked in from the banquet hall in a hurry. He looked
worried. “Aunt Jada, where‘s Uncle Kendry? Where‘s Grandma?”
Jada stopped talking and asked, “Brady, why are you in a rush? What happened?”
“The police officers are here. They‘re taking my dad away for investigation!” Brady was so anxious that
his head was covered in sweat. He immediately rushed into the resting lounge and looked for Mdm.
Willis. “Grandma, something serious has happened!”
Mdm. Willis quickly walked out. “Slow down. What is it?”
“Something went wrong with the wind power project that the Willis family took one year ago. Dad was
put forward to take responsibility for it. Now, the police want to take him away for investigation.” Brady
tried his best to keep calm and say, “Mr. Thompson came to arrest Dad. Grandma, you know him.”
There was already a scene in the banquet hall.
Many wealthy and noble people had been invited to Mdm. Willis‘ eightieth birthday party. Although the
party was nearing its end, many rich ladies had yet to leave.
