Chapter 57
Isabella must have been having a blast with Julia and the others over the weekend, because she hadn’t heard from Adele at all. By Monday, Adele went to work at Cole as usual.
It was almost time to get off work when Jessica called and invited her to dinner. After they finished eating, Adele went to the bathroom.
That’s when she ran into Harry.
Adele didn’t stop her steps and walked past him without acknowledging him.
Harry, however, stopped in his tracks and turned his head to watch her.
Adele noticed but didn’t pay him any attention.
When Adele came out of the bathroom, she saw that Harry hadn’t left, still standing at the spot where they had just crossed paths.
When he saw her come out, he turned his head toward her and asked, “Are you eating over here?”
His tone made it seem like he had been waiting specifically for her.
“Yes,” she answered curtly. “Do you think I’m stalking you, Mr. Becker?”
Harry paused for a moment before replying, “That’s not what I meant.”
Adele didn’t understand what he meant and didn’t want to understand either. Without another word, she turned and left, and Harry didn’t try to stop
her.
After leaving the restaurant, Jessica wanted to buy a birthday gift for her mother, so Adele went with her to a jewelry store.
Jessica was drawn to a set of jade necklaces. She had just chatted briefly with the store manager when someone’s voice suddenly came from the door:
“Hello, I’m here to pick up the jewelry.”
Adele paused upon hearing the voice.
“Ah, Mr. Brown,” the store manager greeted him immediately, smiling, He apologized to Adele and Jessica, then walked toward him. “Mr. Brown, the jewelry you customized is all packed up for you-”
“Mag?” Logan Brown walked up to Adele after confirming her identity. “Are you here to order jewelry as well?TM
Adele glanced at him but didn’t speak
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Logan’s expression dimmed. “Mag…”
Adele turned her face away, ignoring him. She then asked Jessica, “Are you sure you want to choose this one?”
Jessica, who hadn’t seen Logan before, observed his refined and gentlemanly appearance. She nudged Adele’s waist lightly and whispered, “Who is
chat?”
Adele didn’t respond.
bu Logan didn’t leave. He stood there, staring at Adele, and asked, “Mag, how have you been recently?”
Adele bit her lip and finally turned to face him. Her voice was cold when she asked, “What do you want to say?”
Logan’s voice softened. “Mag, do you have to speak to your father like this?”
Adie coldly responded, “And how do you think I should speak to you?”
“Your father knows he has done things wrong in the past, but you know, I’ve always had you in my heart.”
Avdi laughed bitterly. “Oh, so you’ve always had me in your heart, but you allowed Julia to get close to my husband, and you let my husband take good care of her tell me, how can you say that you’ve always had me in your heart?”

He Faked Death for Mistress Faked It for Revenge
Chapter 57
“Mag…” Logan frowned. “I understand your feelings, but Julle and Frank truly love each other. Love can’t be forced, so why–
“Yes, love can’t be forced. So, your affair back then was perfectly justified, and now she’s just like her mother, proudly playing the role of the mistress, right?”
Logan’s face darkened. “Mag! When did you become so extreme?”
“Extreme?” Adele sneered. “Should I immediately divorce Franklin to make way for Julia? Would that be less extreme?”
“Logan, what happened?” At this moment, Tracy and Sophia entered.
Tracy immediately noticed Adele and smiled. “Isn’t this Mag? Long time no see, you’re even more beautiful.”
“Mom…” Hearing Tracy praise Adele, Sophia became unhappy.
She had always known Adele was beautiful, but she hadn’t expected her to look even more beautiful after a few years.
Looking at Adele’s fair and delicate skin, her outstanding temperament,Sophia couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
But then she remembered, what difference did it make that Adele was beautiful? Her future brother–in–law still didn’t like her, he only liked her sister, Julia.
Thinking this, Sophia finally felt a bit better.
Logan looked at Tracy. “Sister–in–law, why are you here?”
“We hadn’t seen you for so long, so we came to visit,”
Sophia interrupted. Then, seeing the jewelry box the store manager had opened, she looked at Adele and purposely said loudly, “Is this the anniversary gift you customized for Auntie? It’s so beautiful!”
Logan smiled. “Yes.”
“Every year, you prepare such expensive gifts for Auntie in advance, always giving her surprises. You’re really good to Auntie,” Sophia added with a smile.
Logan chuckled.
