Chapter32
Bethany was wearing pajamas and seemed surprised, like she didn’t expect her to come over. “Adrienne? Didn’t Gar- rett say you wouldn’t be here today?”
Adrienne’s face went pale, her eyes quickly scanned the room, and she pushed her away.
Bethany took several steps back, a flash of coldness in her eyes, but when she looked up, she was gentle again.
“If you and Garrett had any misunderstandings, just clear them up early.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Adrienne turned around and slapped her right across the face.
“Bethany, were you gross or not!”
Bethany touched her cheek and stopped talking.
Adrienne heard footsteps behind her, then she was shoved aside.
Norman was the first one to walk up to Bethany. He looked impressive and was about 1.87 meters tall.
“Beth, are you okay?”
Bethany shook her head, with five clear slap marks on her face. She gave a bitter smile and looked at Adrienne.
“Adrienne, I didn’t know what I did to make you so mad, you could’ve at least told me first.”
Adrienne looked at Norman, then heard footsteps behind her, and realized that all the guys who got along well with Garrett were there too, it was just that everyone had been upstairs just now.
Because Bethany accidentally spilled a glass of juice on herself, she took a shower here, and didn’t expect to run into Adrienne coming over.
But in the few minutes after Adrienne came in, Bethany didn’t explain anything at all, just wanted her to misunder- stand on purpose.
Every time Adrienne faced a situation like this, she just couldn’t explain herself.
She opened her mouth and met Norman’s disgusted look.
“Garry should’ve divorced you earlier, a woman like you, just being in the same space as you made us feel dirty.”
Adrienne had been struggling with herself alone these past few years, and in the end, she got through it on her own. At first, she was upset, thinking: Why don’t these people like me? But now she figured it out-none of that was her fault, and she didn’t need to take all the blame herself.
“If you didn’t want to be in the same space as me, then just go to Mars!”

In the past few years, Adrienne had always been quiet. No matter who yelled at her, she just kept her head down and didn’t say anything. It was rare for her to talk back like she did now.
So Norman didn’t react right away and got so mad he took a step forward, “What did you say?!”
Bethany grabbed him and sighed, “Norman, forget it.”
Norman was Garrett’s good friend. Ever since Garrett was brought back, they had been getting along really well.
He took a deep breath, his dark eyes falling on Adrienne, “What’s the point of tying Garry to you with tricks? Right now, the person he hates most is you.”
“What’s that got to do with you? Even if he hated me, I still slept with him. We’re married, at least in name. Not like you-you’ve liked Bethany for years and still don’t dare tell her. You just watch her chase after Garrett like a coward. You’re even more useless than me, so what right do you have to yell at me?”
The whole room suddenly went quiet.
The others in the room all looked at each other, shock in their eyes, thinking: Is this Adrienne crazy?
Adrienne turned to go upstairs, but saw Garrett standing at the top of the stairs with a cigarette between his fingers. She didn’t know how long he’d been there.
She ignored him and just went straight into her own master bedroom.
These past few years she slept alone in the master bedroom, and the computer was here too.
She just walked in, and downstairs Norman already noticed.
“Adrienne, do you fucking believe I killed you?”
He was so mad he was about to run upstairs, but then he saw Garrett.
Garrett flicked the ash off his cigarette with his fingertip. Norman’s arrogance faded right away. He gritted his teeth, “Garry, did you see what she’s really like? She’s just awful!”
