Chapter 299 Her Mother Is Clever

• Adeline leaned on her mother's shoulder and exclaimed, "That's great, Mom. I'll get changed right now and go with you!"
• Uncle George was a gangster, so the Houghs avoided him like the plague. Her mother was the only person who maintained a constant line of communication with him, and their relationship was considered close. She was aware of what had transpired between the two of them. When her mother was pregnant with Adeline, Adeline's uncle forced Adeline's father to marry her mother in the past. For this reason, her mother felt so much appreciation for him.
• As long as Uncle George continued to ask for money, her mother would hand it over to him without a second thought. Adeline used to believe that her mother was a fool and that she should avoid people like her uncle, who were greedy. Her mother was quite prescient, as she often asked her uncle to perform risky tasks. Her uncle would find a way out if they were to be investigated later.
