Chapter 1487

Landon glanced at her and said softly, "Your dad risked his pride earlier and went through so much

effort to beg Mr. Larson to take you in and let you work at his pharmacy. Mr. Larson was this close to

agreeing, but you refused it outright. Tell me, isn't it your loss?"

Adeline still looked displeased. "Grandpa, how is that a loss? I'm the daughter of the Thatcher Family,

all right? What am I going to do at his pharmacy? Even if I became the chairman of his pharmacy, it

would still be a waste of my talents! If I'm only working as an ordinary employee, wouldn't I be a

disgrace to

our family?"

Aidan immediately roared furiously, "You know nothing! Do you think that you can work at that

pharmacy whenever you want? Do you know how many big families in Eastshire want their children to

work there? And yet... you think it's a disgrace?"

Adeline insisted stubbornly, "Dad, who are you fooling? I don't believe that a child of a big family would

want to work in a mere pharmacy. I know that you think very highly of Matthew and want to flatter him,

don't you? But, did you know that the White Family was destroyed by Poison Spider, and it was the

crown prince of Mightwater who did it himself? What does this have to do with Matthew? The way I see

it, he's just the crown prince's puppet. Do you have to be so afraid of him?"

When Aidan and Landon heard that, their faces fell, and they instantly rose to their feet. Aidan roared,

"Shut up!"

Landon's expression was even colder as he asked somberly, "Adeline, who told you these things?"

Adeline's face immediately turned pale. She hadn't expected that her grandfather, who had spoiled her

the most, would look at her this coldly.

She stuttered, "No... No one told me that... B-But it’s the truth! Everyone knows that the White Family

was wiped out by Poison Spider. A-As for Matthew, what did he do?"

Landon glared at her viciously as he said solemnly, "Starting from today, you aren't allowed to say

something like that again! I don't care what you do outside. In fact, I don't care about you at all! Either

way, you better remember this. In Eastshire, you can provoke anyone, but you can't provoke Matthew,

his relatives, and his friends! Otherwise, leave the Thatcher Family. I don't want a granddaughter like

you!"

As Aidan followed him out, he glanced at Adeline and sighed. "Adeline, I've spoiled you too much. If I

knew this would happen, I shouldn't have let you come tonight. I even begged the old man several

days for his permission to let you attend this dinner, but this is the result I got!" Adeline felt wrongly

accused. "Dad, what did I do wrong? I didn't want to attend this kind of event either, but you were the

one who dragged me here. Can you blame me for that? Besides, did you ask me before making me

work at his pharmacy? At any rate, I'm still a top student in a medical school. Isn't it shameful for me to

work at a mere pharmacy? Do you want me to throw away all my pride as the daughter of the Thatcher

Family?” New chаpter avąilable on
