Chapter 1487
Landon glanced at her and said softly, "Your dad risked his pride earlier and went through so much effort to beg
Mr. Larson to take you in and let you work at his pharmacy. Mr. Larson was this close to agreeing, but you refused
it outright. Tell me, isn't it your loss?"
Adeline still looked displeased. "Grandpa, how is that a loss? I'm the daughter of the Thatcher Family, all right?
What am | going to do at his pharmacy? Even if | becthe chairman of his pharmacy, it would still be a waste
of my talents! If I'm only working as an ordinary employee, wouldn't | be a disgrace to
our family?"

Aidan immediately roared furiously, "You know nothing! Do you think that you can work at that pharmacy
whenever you want? Do you know how many big families in Eastshire want their children to work there? And
yet... you think it's a disgrace?"
Adeline insisted stubbornly, "Dad, who are you fooling? | don't believe that a child of a big family would want to
work in a mere pharmacy. | know that you think very highly of Matthew and want to flatter him, don't you? But,
did you know that the White Family was destroyed by Poison Spider, and it was the crown prince of Mightwater
who did it himself? What does this have to do with Matthew? The way | see it, he's just the crown prince's
puppet. Do you have to be so afraid of him?"
When Aidan and Landon heard that, their faces fell, and they instantly rose to their feet. Aidan roared, "Shut up!"
Landon's expression was even colder as he asked somberly, "Adeline, who told you these things?"
Adeline's face immediately turned pale. She hadn't expected that her grandfather, who had spoiled her the
most, would look at her this coldly.
She stuttered, "No... No one toldthat... B-But it's the truth! Everyone knows that the White Family was wiped
out by Poison Spider. A-As for Matthew, what did he do?"
Landon glared at her viciously as he said solemnly, "Starting from today, you aren't allowed to say something
like that again! | don't care what you do outside. In fact, | don't care about you at all! Either way, you better
remember this. In Eastshire, you can provoke anyone, but you can't provoke Matthew, his relatives, and his
friends! Otherwise, leave the Thatcher Family. | don't want a granddaughter like you!" Adeline was completely
dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that a casual sentence would make her grandfather angry enough to
threaten to kick her out from the family. She was so terrified that she didn't dare to say anything else.

Landon then got up and slowly left without even sparing her a glance.
As Aidan followed him out, he glanced at Adeline and sighed. "Adeline, I've spoiled you too much. If | knew this
would happen, | shouldn't have let you ctonight. | even begged the old man several days for his permission
to let you attend this dinner, but this is the result | got!" Adeline felt wrongly accused. "Dad, what did | do
wrong? | didn't want to attend this kind of event either, but you were the one who draggedhere. Can you
blme for that? Besides, did you askbefore makingwork at his pharmacy? At any rate, I'm still a top
student in a medical school. Isn't it shameful forto work at a mere pharmacy? Do you wantto throw
away all my pride as the daughter of the Thatcher Family?"
Upset that she betrayed his expectations, Aidan said, "Pride? If you really worked at Mr. Larson's pharmacy,
you'd only be able to show your face in Eastshire by then! It's a pity that such a good opportunity, the
opportunity that | gave up my pride to help you ask for, was wasted by you like this!"
