Chapter 107 Edith Makes People Sick

Victoria turned around, squinting at Edith.

Edith took a few steps forward. "Mrs. Riley, how about chatting at a café?"

"Hmm," Victoria coldly responded.

The three of them went to the nearest café.

Rebecca, who had also come to see Victoria, secretly followed them.

Victoria, Edith, and Viola entered a private room in the café.

Edith gestured to Viola. "Why don't you serve Mrs. Riley some good coffee?"

Viola shyly smiled and quickly got up to pour coffee for Victoria. "Auntie, here you go."

Victoria looked disinterested. "Just say it. You said Curtis and Adeline didn't get married. What's going on?"

Edith briefly explained the incident at the luxury store.

Viola added, "Adeline has no money, and she admitted it herself. She barely earns enough to make ends meet, let alone afford expensive clothes."

Edith said, "Yes, and then your daughter directly mentioned their relationship, saying that Adeline is living with Mr. Riley."

"Living with?" Victoria furrowed her brow.

Edith nodded. "Afterward, we overheard Olivia saying they each had a room. They told Olivia they got married, but Olivia didn't believe them and asked for their marriage certificate, which they couldn't produce."

Victoria's expression changed. "So, you haven't seen their marriage certificate either? Isn't she already married?"

Edith slammed the table in outrage. "Mrs. Riley, do you see the problem here? Mr. Riley sent someone to our house to get Adeline's identification card, and we didn't dare refuse. Would a proper marriage be so secretive? There were no wedding gifts at all. They said the house was given to Adeline, but we haven't seen the property certificate!"

Viola poured another cup of coffee for Mrs. Riley and continued, "We suspect that Mr. Riley found a small house for Adeline, and then they faked their marriage to deceive old Mr. Riley. That small house is the benefit Adeline received!"

Victoria's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smirk appeared on her lips. "Well played, Curtis! So, he was pretending in front of our father!"

Having obtained helpful information, she stood up, ready to leave.

She would not lower herself to be associated with the Burton family!

Edith noticed Victoria's intentions and quickly stopped her. "Mrs. Riley, I know you look down on our humble family. But old Mrs. Riley promised our engagement. And now, since Adeline didn't marry anyone from your family..."

Victoria's face changed before Edith could finish her sentence, and her voice grew louder. "What do you mean? Are you using the past engagement to threaten me?"

"No, it's not a threat," Edith anxiously explained. "Even if you look down on us, we can help you."

"Help? How?" Victoria sneered.

"Viola is our family's pride. If Viola could marry Logan, our family would do everything in our power to help your son and husband rise to the position of Chairman of the Riley Group."

Victoria's eyes narrowed, and her voice became excited. "Do you have a plan?"

"Adeline is my eldest daughter, but for the happiness of my younger daughter and the sake of your family's power, as a mother, I am willing to overlook the consequences and assist you. Just give the word, and we will follow your command."

She implied that she was willing to sacrifice Adeline to secure the happiness of Viola.

Seeing that Victoria didn't object, Edith continued to persuade her.

"Now that Adeline is tied to Mr. Riley, we have ways to make her life miserable. Isn't this equivalent to bringing Mr. Riley down?"

Upon hearing this, Victoria couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What a shame that she had expected Edith to offer a perfect plan!

But if someone came forward to be her subordinate, she wouldn't be a fool to turn them away.

She casually made a few remarks and arrogantly left. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Before leaving the café, she was intercepted by Rebecca.

"Mrs. Riley, they may not have a plan, but I do."
