Chapter 161

Everyone thought Kieran and Elliot were out for Julie, but only these two guys knew that Elliot wanted to talk to Kieran about Adeline. Elliot was a straightforward man. He asked Kieran, “Were you the one who picked up Adeline in Oakhurst last time?”

Kieran didn’t give a direct answer, but his expression clearly indicated a yes. Besides, Elliot had seen with his own eyes Kieran getting out of the car, and then Adeline getting into Kieran’s car and leaving.

Kieran had even told him, “I have zero chance of telling you where Adeline is. I suggest you chase that car. If you can catch up, Adeline is yours.”

In the heat of the moment, Elliot didn’t have time for more chitchat with Kieran. He immediately went after Adeline’s car.

What Elliot said to Kieran next was, “I owe you a thanks.”

“I’ll take that,” Kieran replied.

When Julie and Adeline’s group arrived at the lounge, they saw Elliot and Kieran shaking hands and exchanging thanks.

At that time, Daphne, Julie, and Lionel all looked puzzled. Only Adeline, like a bull seeing red, stormed towards Kieran. Pointing at Kieran, she roared, “I knew it was you who set me up!”

In fact, Daphne had heard about Elliot’s sister, but no media had reported on Adeline. In contrast, Elliot was more well-known. Daphne naturally had no idea that the Sanches family was so careful in protecting Adeline because Adeline had no blood relation with them. Daphne had thought that the Sanches family protected Adeline so much because they adored her and didn’t want her to be disturbed by the media.

However, though Adeline was never reported in the media, rumors about her were plentiful.

Most of the rumors said she was ugly or handicapped, so the Sanches family didn’t want her to appear in public. Others said she was a loner, that her appearance would negatively affect the Ray Group, so even when Elliot took over as CEO of the Ray Group, and when the Ray Group held family banquets, she never appeared.

Now, she was seeing Adeline in person….

Not only was she stunning and charismatic, but she also had such a unique personality!

Daphne thought the person standing next to her was Julie, so she tugged at her sleeve, “Now I get why Ms. Sanches is wearing red. -She’s truly fiery. Don’t you think, sweetheart?”

Having said that, Daphne turned around with a smile, seeking agreement, but…

“You’re right, darling,” Lionel bent his head and gave a slight smile to Daphne.
