Desiree beamed with pride and praised Brooklyn, "That's incredible! You have so many rich girls wrapped around your finger."
Brooklyn chuckled, clearly pleased with himself.
Adora heard every word clearly, hardly believing her ears. Since his injury, Brooklyn had not worked at all. She had been giving him money, and for the past few months, she had also been covering the living expenses for his parents.
Her salary was nearly depleted, and she had even resorted to taking the bus to save money. Yet, in the eyes of the Glover family, her sacrifices were worthless.
Brooklyn even had the audacity to cheat…
Adora was heartbroken, leaving her in unbearable pain, and Brooklyn's laughter seemed to pour salt on her wounds.
Her trembling fingers lost their grip, and the cake fell to the floor with a splat.
Hearing the noise, Desiree and Brooklyn exchanged glances before rushing to investigate. They only saw the cake by the door and caught a glimpse of a girl entering the elevator.
Desiree was startled. "I think that was Adora. Did she hear everything you just said?"
Brooklyn looked confused. "She said she wouldn't be back for a few days. Why is she here early? Mom, don't panic. I'll give her a call."
He dialed, but there was no answer.
…
That afternoon, as soon as Callum got the message, he rushed back to Svelton by high-speed rail and went to the same exclusive club as before.
In the same private room, in the same spot, he found a drunk Adora.
