“Do you have the nerve to call Adeline impulsive? Don’t you realize how outrageous your behavior has been?”
Her eyes flashed with anger:
“Adeline is such wonderful girl. I went through so much effort to arrange your engagement. And you? You didn’t cherish her at all!”
“I knew you liked some else, but I thought you’d at least treat Adeline well because of your childhood friendship. But what happened?”
“Now, all I can say is you brought this on yourself!”
“Adeline has already signed it. Once you sign, your marriage will officially end. You’ll be free from that moment on!”
“No! This can’t be!”
Jasper Reed shouted, his hands trembling as he flipped to the last page of the divorce agreement.
Seeing her signature, he staggered, almost collapsing.
“This can’t be real, Adeline loves me too much to divorce me! This must be fake!”
He whispered, as if trying to convince himself otherwise.
Phoebe Clark stepped forward, smiling politely:
“Auntie, actually, this is all a misunderstanding. It was Adeline who jumped into the glass box herself, wanting to amuse everyone. She did it on purpose.”
“Shut up!” Mrs. Reed snapped, showing no mercy:
“Phoebe? I never agreed to you joining the Reed family, and now you’re corrupting my son with such disgraceful acts. Your malicious intent is astonishing.”
Phoebe’s expression turned awkward, not daring to say another word.
Seeing Mrs. Reed’s firm stance, Jasper Reed panicked:
“Mom, I know I was wrong! I won’t do it again! Please tear up the divorce agreement. I’ll immediately have Adeline brought out from backstage, okay?”
Mrs. Reed snorted sharply:
“Too late! Adeline has already been sent away.”
“Sent away? Where to?” Jasper Reed felt a sense of foreboding.
Mrs. Reed glanced at him, her expression cold:
“Naturally, to someone who truly cherishes her.”
“I reckon you’ll be receiving her wedding invitation soon.”
“No!”
Jasper Reed shouted:
“Why? Adeline is my wife! Why would she marry someone else?”
Mrs. Reed looked at him with disappointment:
“Now you remember she’s your wife? When you were mistreating her, did you remember you were married?”
“You disgrace! It’s unfortunate for the Reed family to have a descendant like you!”
At this moment, the auction staff respectfully approached with all the treasures from the auction.

Mrs. Reed waved her hand, directing them to place everything in front of Phoebe:
“Take it!”
Phoebe’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“All… all of this is for me?”
Phoebe was shocked.
Mrs. Reed nodded, focusing her gaze

“Since you’ve loved Phoebe for so many years, I won’t stand in your way anymore. From today on, prepare for your wedding with her. I won’t stop you from doing anything, just don’t stoop so low again!”
With that, Mrs. Reed left with her bodyguards and assistant.
Phoebe was overjoyed, her face beaming with excitement.

“Jasper, you’ve really hit the jackpot! You got rid of that troublesome Adeline and won Phoebe, the beauty!”
“Jasper, you have to treat us today! We need to celebrate this great occasion!”
