Chapter 199 No One Was Holding Back, They Were Officially Breaking Ties
When old Mrs. Riley heard that, her face suddenly turned cold, and a smile crept onto her lips as she glanced at Edith.
"Mrs. Burton, if you still trust me, leave Adeline with me, and you and your youngest daughter may leave now. Since this involves matters concerning our families, I have a few personal words to say to Tristan. I am requesting you to step aside."
Edith hesitated for a while as she looked at old Mrs. Riley's smiley face. It wasn't friendly and conveyed a sense of distance and dignity, keeping her at bay.
Edith couldn't find a reason to persist any longer, so she smiled and responded, "Alright, then I'll leave with Viola."
After all, she had already achieved her goal today.
Before leaving, Edith held onto old Mrs. Riley's hand and sighed, "After this matter is resolved, please do me a favor."
As she said that, she glanced at Adeline before she continued, "This girl is not happy with what I say all the time. She isn't supporting the family and she also says that she wants to cut ties with me. Tell me. How could I not be upset when I heard that? You are highly respected, and this girl is willing to listen to you. Please help me to give her a few words of advice."
When old Mrs. Riley heard "cut tie", she gave Adeline a surprised look.
Edith raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Viola, with a satisfied look flashing in her eyes.
"Old Mrs. Riley, I'll leave it to you then. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Edith left with Viola.
After the door was closed, old Mrs. Riley looked at Logan and asked, "Is what Adeline said a lie?"
Logan shook his head and answered, "I knew a thing or two about this back then."
"Okay." Old Mrs. Riley nodded and looked at Tristan, "Tell me, what do you want to do when you get Adeline and Sara from me?"
Tristan's expression turned stern, and he had no intention of hiding it from old Mrs. Riley. He answered, "I will make them feel exactly of my son has suffered!"
