CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 107: MOM AND DAD ARE TAKING A BATH

Adrian Grant didn’t want to waste words with her, so he took out his phone directly and played the recording of the call for her to hear.

In the recording, it was Isabelle Everett ruthlessly telling Raina Lowell to kneel and kowtow to her, and even saying she wanted to ruin Raina’s face.

Isabelle’s face changed completely after listening to it.

She didn’t expect that just a moment before Raina had been dragged in by Ethan Everett, she was actually on a call with Adrian Grant.

This caused all the harsh words she said to be heard by Adrian.

Isabelle quickly leaned closer to Adrian, shaking her head denying:

"No, Adrian, I didn’t, I was just trying to scare Raina."

Adrian ruthlessly shook her off.

"I never thought you were such a vengeful person. Let’s call off the engagement! This time I won’t pursue the matter of you and Ethan hurting Raina."

He truly used to believe this woman was gentle and kind, and considering her pitiful background, he would take care of her.

He didn’t expect she would have two-faced characteristics.

If it weren’t for the fact that there was no evidence of her causing his grandfather’s death and sending people to kidnap Aurora.

He would have doubted if what Raina said was true.

"What did you say?"

Isabelle was struck like a bolt from the blue, unable to accept that her engagement would be annulled just after it was set.

How would she explain this to her parents?

Moreover, her parents would never allow her to be with Ethan.

Her only support could only be Adrian.

Isabelle didn’t want it to happen, cried and pulled Adrian’s hand to plead:

"Don’t, Adrian, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have felt resentful and asked Raina to kneel after she hurt me."

"Don’t desert me, okay? I gave my first time to you, and Raina has hurt me so many times. This time it was my brother who brought her over, otherwise, I wouldn’t have hurt Raina."

She cried like a fragile flower, looking as delicate as possible.

Seeing her like that made Adrian waver.

Just then, Mrs. Grant pushed the door open and walked in.

Isabelle told her she was hospitalized, thinking that since Isabelle was engaged to her son, as a future mother-in-law she should check the situation.

As soon as she entered the hospital room, she saw Isabelle crying so sadly, just like being abandoned.

She walked over and asked, "What’s going on?"

Seeing Mrs. Grant was like seeing a lifeline for Isabelle, she rushed over and hugged Mrs. Grant’s arm, sobbing:

"Mom, Raina Lowell hurt me so badly I was hospitalized, my brother got angry and asked Raina to come apologize, but Adrian wants to annul our engagement because of it."

"Mom, I really love Adrian, can you persuade him not to leave me, I will try my best to become a good daughter-in-law of the Grant Family."

Knowing Mrs. Grant now hates Raina Lowell very much, she deliberately brought Raina up.

Even if Mrs. Grant wasn’t satisfied with her as a daughter-in-law, at least she would stand by her side because she disliked Raina.

Sure enough, once Mrs. Grant heard Raina’s name, she got very angry.

She looked at Adrian and questioned:

"Are you still entangled with that woman who angered your grandfather to death?"

"Mom, can you not say such nasty things, Raina didn’t do it on purpose."

Adrian especially didn’t want to hear his mother insult Raina, and couldn’t help but speak in her defense.

But the more he defended Raina, the angrier Mrs. Grant became, distorting her old face and abandoning her dignified image to say harsh words:

"She, Raina Lowell, already gave birth to another’s bastard, deceived everyone to marry you, if it wasn’t for this, would your grandfather have died?"

"If you keep entangled with her, and annul the engagement with Isabelle because of her, believe me, I’ll make her unable to stay in the whole of Southgate."

That little b*tch dared to be with her son.

Looks like she won’t weep until she sees the coffin.

Mrs. Grant felt it was time to teach Raina Lowell another lesson.

"It’s not Raina’s fault, don’t vent on her."

Adrian didn’t want to argue with his mother, looked at Isabelle, "Do your duty, and if it happens again, I definitely won’t let you off easy."

He turned to leave.

Mrs. Grant raised her hand to block him and warned again: "Adrian, did you understand what I said? Don’t entangle with Raina Lowell anymore, or I’ll only go find her to settle accounts."

Adrian was truly afraid his mother would go find Raina, so he could only perfunctorily say:

"I’ve already divorced Raina, and I won’t be with her in the future. If you go trouble her, I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life than marry anyone."

This was also meant for Isabelle to hear.

Too lazy to deal with these people, he shook his hand and left.

Mrs. Grant didn’t say anything more, looked at Isabelle with annoyance and said:

"You said you grew up in The Everett Family, got the best of everything from them, and your own conditions aren’t bad, why can’t you keep a man under control without needing me to persuade him."

"Are you intentionally trying to cause discord between us mother and son?"

If it wasn’t for Raina Lowell going too far, she absolutely wouldn’t agree to let this adopted daughter of The Everett Family into the Grant Family.

An adopted daughter, who lost The Everett Family’s biological daughter, what good intentions could she have?

"Sorry, Mom, I know I was wrong, but Raina hurt me multiple times, and I didn’t dare say anything. If I did, Adrian would get angry and go find Raina."

Isabelle started crying, looking as weak as if she could only be bullied.

Mrs. Grant gave her a sidelong glance with disgust, "Don’t call me mom, you’re only engaged to Adrian, not married yet."

A woman like this, who only knows how to cry, couldn’t even handle a Raina Lowell.

With her son being so excellent, there’ll be countless Raina Lowells trying to seduce him in the future. If she came crying to the mother-in-law every time.

She’d be incredibly annoyed.

Isabelle endured the humiliation inside her heart and had to change her wording.

Eventually, she tried desperately to please Mrs. Grant.

Raina Lowell was waiting for the test results during these days, not dealing with Adrian, and stayed with Evelyn and Alaric Jennings.

At night, every time Adrian couldn’t sleep, he wanted to contact her, but felt it wasn’t appropriate, and finally put down his phone.

He thought with time, he would slowly let go of Raina.

But in reality, he didn’t.

The longer he went without seeing or hearing anything about Raina, the more obsessed he became.

In the end, he couldn’t resist and personally went to find her.

He even brought some toys for Evelyn.

When he rang the doorbell at the door, it was little Evelyn who opened the door.

Little Evelyn saw him, immediately turned her little face angrily and said:

"Why did you come here, you cold-hearted person?"

Adrian knew the child was angry at him because of his sister.

He squatted down, offering the gift in a flattering manner.

"I came to see your mom, is your mom feeling better?"

Little Evelyn opened what he handed over, "My mom is well, doesn’t need your concern, go away."

He prepared to slam the door.

Adrian blocked the door in a hurry, "Evelyn, let me in. I want to see your mom."

"No way, my mom and dad are showering, you can’t disturb them, get lost."

Little Evelyn wanted to close the door and kicked at him.

When Adrian heard Raina showering with Alaric Jennings, his heart hurt sharply.

In that moment of losing focus, the child pushed and closed the door.
