Chapter 19
Evelin saw that Adam was not making any moves, so she decided to go find Josie first She couldn’t forget how Adam had reported her to the police before, and being over fifty years old, she could not tolerate such humiliation.
Jessica understood Evelin’s thoughts the best. The deck recording provided by Josie confirmed her criminal activities. Although Evelin intended to protect her, she knew that as long as Josie kept pressing, she would definitely end up back in prison.
Not to mention now Josie is closely tied to the Acker family, she is so concerned that she may not even be able to protect herself, let alone Evelin.
So she bravely volunteered to teach Josie a lesson.
Adam hasn’t been back here for a long time.
He pushed open the door, and the butler had already returned from his
vacation.
They greeted Adam as before, and Adam felt as if he had been transported back in time, only this time, there was no trace of Josie in the house.
He came back this time to take away that cup.
Handmade things, you can’t waste them. He said to himself.
But he searched through the entire cupboard and couldn’t find that cup.

He asked the butler and found out that Jessica had accidentally broken it a few days ago, so they had cleaned it up.
Jessica.
Adam was furious and immediately went over to Jessica.
“What’s wrong, Ade? Jessica asked as she opened the door to find Adam standing there. Despite his claims of hatred and revenge, Jessica was still happy to see him. She knew that she had long had Adam under her control.”
“Where is my cup?”
“What? She was puzzled. Did Adam come to see her just for a cup? What cup?”
“Don’t play dumb, Adam’s icy voice made Jessica inexplicably scared.”
The cup… She suddenly remembered the cup that she had intentionally smashed a few days ago, the cup with the base labeled “For Ade’s use only“.
“It broke, she replied.”
Adam struggled to control his emotions. “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“Huh, Jessica sneered, “It’s just a cup, it broke, so what’s the point of whether it was intentional or not?“”
Jessica deliberately broke the cup, but so what? Adam wouldn’t sulk with himself over a cup.
“That was my cup, Adam said, word by word.”

“Is it true, Ade, you have so many cups at home, but you just have to use this one? Knowing exactly what Adam meant, but Jessica just wouldn’t let him off easy. “Or is it because this cup was given to you by your ex–lover, so you can’t bear to part with it?“”
Adam sneered. “What right do you have to know? I only let you stay there out of pity, so why did you throw away Josie’s things?”
“Josie was Eric’s wife! Jessica retorted, “What do you mean by secretly keeping another man’s wife’s things?“”
“Are you crazy? Although Jessica lived far from the city center, there were still people passing by, so Adam grabbed her by the neck and……, pushed her back into the room.”
Jessica seemed to know something, “So the cup was your reason?”
“What?”
“Mr. Deantt, Jessica’s hand wrapped around his neck, “you came to find me just to sleep with me, didn’t you?““|
Adam was speechless for a moment, but he made no further
movements, Jessica’s triumphant smile in his hands. He had no way to refute Jessica’s words.
The ringing of his phone momentarily pulled him out of the standoff.
It was Ivan.
“Sorry, Mr. Deantt, there was a little issue on our end…”
“This matter is a bit complicated and also involves Ms. Meane… However, I have already brought Kendall back. It would be better for you to personally ask Mr. Deantt about these things.”

When asked for the specific address, Adam was about to go
immediately. Jessica grabbed his sleeve, she didn’t know who had just called, but Adam had been busy with work lately. She hadn’t seen him in a long time and didn’t want him to leave.
Adam glanced at her, thinking of Ivan’s words just now – “It also involves Ms. Meane“. He chuckled coldly and ushered the person into
the car.
