Chapter 1496
Adeline cto her senses after Lucien and Lynn left.
Her eyes turned red as her crush held another girl's hand in front of her.
She was going crazy with jealousy!
Maeve sighed. "Comparison is the thief of joy. It seems like Lynn is going places. But, Adeline, | think you should
stop setting your hopes on Mr. Stone. He's far more interested in her." "That's not fair!" Adeline said
begrudgingly.
"Lynn cfrom a poor family and is not pretty either. So how... How could he like her? You know, it's important
to have matching family socioeconomic status for marriage. They have such a huge financial difference."

Maeve gave her a look and asked, "Adeline, what are you saying? Didn't | just tell you? Lynn is working under
Matthew now. She's not an ordinary Jane anymore. Besides, Matthew's mother-in-law likes her and treats her like
a niece. If that's the case, she is like a sister to Matthew. So, it's not only Lucien. Do you realize how many young
masters are chasing after her now?"
Adeline's heart was about to explode in fury upon hearing that. She clenched her fists and ground her teeth. "I...
| don't believe it! The Stone Family is one of the Greatest Families of Eastshire. Without the White Family, they
would be number three on the list. Since Lucien will becthe head of the Stone Family, is there really a need
for him to do this? All this just to network with Matthew? I... | can't believe it!" A shocked Maeve hurriedly pulled
her aside and whispered, "My gosh, Adeline! Can you keep it down? Do you know how much trouble you'd be in if
anyone overheard what you said just now?" "There're so many eyes on us here. Do you have a death wish for
your family?"
A moment later, she continued, "Adeline, you're so clueless."
"Yes, the Stone Family is indeed powerful, but they are walking on thin ice now. They usually have good
connections with the Whites, but the White Family tried to kill Mr.
Matthew Larson. Now that the Whites are destroyed, the Stones are worried that Matthew will consider them as
culprits. If that happens, they are finished." "That's why they need to risk everything to earn Matthew's trust."
"Lucien is doing this to protect his family. If he manages to win Lynn over, it's a matrimonial alliance with
Matthew. Then, the Stone Family not only has Matthew's trust but also access to a bigger market. If it was you,
what would you do?"
After Maeve's explanation, Adeline was shell-shocked.
She finally understood why Lucien acted the way he was with Lynn.
It was all because of Matthew!

At the realization, tears of regret streamed down her face.
If she knew it would cto this, she should have accepted to work at Matthew's pharmacy.
She would have been under Matthew's wings, and Lucien might like her then.
Adeline had been in love with Lucien for so long, and her biggest wish was to marry him, but she arrogantly
rejected the offer. As a result, she lost everything.
At this moment, she finally understood how laughable her arrogance was.
An opportunity like this only happens once in a lifetime. Now that she had lost it, there was no point crying over
spilled milk. She could only resign to the fact that she destroyed her lifetof happiness with he bare hands
and could not blanyone but herself.
