Chapter 260

Adela was fuming, her anger practically steaming around her. “I swear, you’re under some spell! What’s so great about her that you’re always in her corner? Out with it, what else did she say about me?”

“It was Gilbert!” Edgar confessed, “It was him who told me! Sherilyn didn’t badmouth you at all!”

At the mention of Gilbert, Adela’s expression grew even darker.

“My son, think about it. Sherilyn and Gilbert are divorced. Do you really want to be with a woman like that?”

“What do you mean, ‘a woman like that‘?”

Edgar was taken aback, then explained, “Sherilyn was adopted by the Johnson family. She and Gilbert weren’t husband and wife; they were raised as

siblings!”

“Oh, for heaven’s sake!”

Adela’s blood pressure soared, and she clutched her forehead. “Enough, I don’t want to hear it! I will not approve of you marrying a divorcee! Adopted by the Johnson family? Ha, even if she were the president’s adopted daughter, it wouldn’t make a difference!”
