1:53 PM.
The plane touched down at JFK Airport.]
As they disembarked, Adeline spotted the waiting Bentley and smiled at Zarek. “You go ahead, Mr. Weasley. Don’t worry about me.”

Zarek gave her a cool, almost indifferent glance, said nothing, and walked directly to his car. Rex murmured a quick “See you later” to Adeline before hurrying after him, opening the car door for his boss before sliding into
the front passenger seat. seat.
Inside the car, Liam glanced in the rearview mirror at the pair they were leaving behind, looking somewhat confused. “Why is Miss Paige in a wheelchair? Did her ex–husband hurt her? Are we sure it’s safe leaving her with him?”
Rex chuckled. “You’re overthinking it, Liam. Her injury has nothing to do with Tristan… technically they’re not even divorced yet. And judging by how things look, they might be getting back together“]
Wait, seriously? They’re reconciling?”
“She told us to go ahead without her. That means she wants to go home with him. Looks like makeup time to me.”
“But her Instagram post made her sound so miserable.”
“What post?”
Liam pulled out his phone to show Rex.]
As they leaned in to look at the screen together, a frosty voice came from the back seat. “Drive,”
The temperature in the car seemed to drop ten degrees.
Liam and Rex fell silent immediately.
The car pulled away.
After driving a short distance, Zarek spoke again, his tone ice–cold. “Put up the partition.”
Liam pressed the button, and soon the back seat became a completely private space.

The boss is definitely in a mood…
Meanwhile, the person practically floating on air was Tristan.[]
He pushed Adeline’s wheelchair through the VIP exit, occasionally reaching down to adjust her hair or leaning in to say something to her. Sensing her cooperation, he could barely contain his elation.]]
However
His joy shattered the moment he spotted Evelyn.
ast.
She stood at the busy curbside among the crowd and traffic, looking fragile enough to blow away in the breeze, her expression anxious and hopeful Most noticeable was the bloodied bandage around her wrist.
Ronald stood by the car, phone in hand. He’d been about to warn Tristan, but they had already emerged from the terminal]
Tristan’s face turned to stone.
Tristan…” Evelyn rushed forward.[]
Just as she was about to reach Adeline, Tristan stepped in front of her, blocking her path.[]
His expression was utterly cold. “I sent a message through your brother. If it wasn’t clear, let me repeat myself: from now on, we’re done. Stop following me around!”
Evelyn stared at him with tear–filled eyes.
Though she inwardly wanted to stab Adeline to death, she remembered Serena’s advice and forced herself to suppress her rage. “I’m not here to chase after you. I won’t interfere with your marriage to Adeline anymore. It Do whatever you want. I go back to how things were before–just seeing you as a brother. Is that okay?‘]
Hearing thus, Tristan’s expression softened slightly.
“Good to hear you’ve come to your senses. Now please move aside, we need to leave.” Tristan hoped to get rid of her with these words ]
He wasn’t interested in whatever game she was playing–he just wanted her gone before she caused a scene in pubuc]
Evelyn anified pitifully, then suddenly sidestepped Tristan and dropped to her knees in front of Adeline’s wyheekhair, instantly drawing dozens of curious stares.
Tristan’s veins bulged with fury Evelyn! What the hell are you doing now?
Adeline waved her hand magnanimously. Let her speak ()
“Adeline, please dont blame Tristan anymore. It was all my fault–roy bassion I break up with him, I won’t cling to hizo anymore. Please don’t divorce him. I’m begging you.” Evelyn spoke through tears, the picture of piando repentance]]
She was kneeling there pleading un lus behar

Tristan stared at Adelor in shock!]
Chapter 67
Evelyn first flashed with anger, then excitement–now Tristan would see Adeline’s true, vicious nature.]]
She bit her lip, closed her eyes as if facing execution, and began slapping herself
The sharp sounds rang out loudly.
Adeline tilted her chin up. “What’s with these weak slaps? Put some muscle into it…” 1
Onlookers were stunned, some taking out their phones to record, whispering among themselves.
“Pathetic. You can’t even slap yourself properly,” Adeline grabbed Evelyn’s face, her expression turning sinister. “Let me demonstrate.”
She raised her hand and delivered four hard slaps in quick succession.[]
As she was about to land a fifth, Tristan grabbed her wrist. “That’s enough!“]
“How is it enough? She seduced you, destroyed our marriage, and tried to have me assaulted. I slap her a few times and you’re already concerned? Oh, right–you should be kneeling too, letting me slap you as well.“]
“…Have you lost your mind?“]
“Won’t kneel? Then she’ll take the punishment alone.” Adeline turned to Evelyn, whose face was now swollen beyond recognition, and smiled brightly. “Any objections?”
Evelyn shook her head and crawled forward to take Adeline’s other hand. “Hit me. It’s not Tristan’s fault. I’ll take his punishment.”
Adeline patted her head. “Perfect.“]
In the next second, she yanked Evelyn’s head down and delivered another vicious slap that Tristan couldn’t even intercept.
Evelyn’s body crumpled sideways and she collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from her mouth.
“Evelyn!”
Tristan released Adeline’s hand and rushed to gather Evelyn’s motionless form from the ground.]]
“Stop playing dead, Evelyn. If you seduce another woman’s husband, you deserve to be beaten or stripped naked and paraded through the streets.” Adeline’s tone grew increasingly vicious.
“Adeline, that’s going too far!” Tristan snapped.]]
He stood with Evelyn in his arms and strode toward the car. “To the hospital!”
Ronald opened the door for him. Before getting in, Tristan glanced back at Adeline, still alone in her wheelchair. “But your wife- 0
Before he could finish, Tristan slammed the car door shut.]
Ronald could only give Adeline an apologetic nod before driving away
away.
The crowd gradually turned sympathetic gazes toward Adeline–her husband had ultimately chosen his mistress over her…]
Though some thought she was unnecessarily cruel and vicious, while the mistress seemed understanding and devoted, taking the beating without fighting back.
Adeline watched the departing car, the corner of her mouth lifting slightly.
Across the street, several cars had stopped to witness the drama.]
Liam had spotted Evelyn lurking at the exit, her expressions alternating between rage and forced calm, Sensing trouble, he had pulled over.[]
Fortunately, his employer hadn’t objected to staying.]
In the back seat
Zarek watched the woman sitting alone with a satisfied expression on her face, finally understanding the true meaning of her Instagram post
“Sir, should we go help Miss Paige?” Liam asked.[]
