Chapter 159 Logan's First Confrontation with His Mother
Logan had never heard Adeline speak in such a voice, which stirred something within him.
He pressed further, "Adeline, is it you?"
Adeline cleared her throat and returned to her usual tone. "Yes, it's me. What's up?"
"My dad asked me before he left on his business trip to let my mom apologize to you in person. Can we meet at The Grand Plaza Hotel in private room 6 tomorrow night?"
"Alright."
Adeline hung up and immediately called Sara, "Keep an eye on Victoria for me over the next few days. Given the Victoria I know, she won't just let this slide. Leo's birthday is in three days, so Victoria should feel extremely anxious."
"Okay, no problem," Sara replied swiftly before setting off with her equipment.

Meanwhile, Logan arrived at the police station in a state of anxiety and inquired about the details of the dispute.
After listening to the police officer's account, his eyes widened in shock. "Is this for real?"
The police officer showed him the records and evidence.
Logan examined the records and evidence, and after hearing out the audio recordings, he slumped into a wooden chair as if he had been profoundly struck, murmuring to himself.
"How could my mom... How could she do something like this..."
The police officer, aware of Logan's identity, offered some words of comfort. "You need to communicate more."
Logan removed his glasses, painfully pinching the bridge of his nose. He thanked the officer politely and then asked, "Can I take my mom with me after signing these documents?"
The police officer reviewed the documents and nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing Logan, Victoria began wailing, "My son, that bitch Adeline is bullying me! You have to take my side!"
Victoria reached out to grab Logan's arm, but he impatiently pulled away from her.
"Mom, I know how you treated Adeline in the past! You constantly bossed her around, made her do this and that, and didn't give her money when needed. I saw all of it. Have I ever criticized you? I always told Adeline to be tolerant because you're the elder. I told her we would be family, so she shouldn't be so petty. But you... Look what you've done this time! Mom, you've gone too far!"
Victoria stared in disbelief at her refined and usually docile son momentarily.
"Son, I... I was just worried that Adeline would bug you.
I was helping you two break up! Adeline, she can't have children!"
"Mom," Logan's voice grew louder, "That has nothing to do with this! Do you know what Adeline cares about the most? It's her career! She loves teaching so much. What you did could ruin her career and even send her to jail! Mom, I never thought you could be so malicious!"
"Malicious? Son, you're saying I'm malicious?" Victoria felt like a dagger had been thrust into her heart.
Logan, still feeling frustrated from the events of the previous night, didn't have the patience to console his mother.
"Dad was right; you should reflect on your actions. And right now, it's not Adeline bugging me; it's me pestering her. She wants to break up, but I won't let her. Mom, stay out of my relationship with Adeline. I can handle it, and Adeline and I will not break up!"
With that, Logan, overwhelmed by his frustration, grabbed his hair.
"Mom, please don't cause any more trouble for Adeline. I've owed her so much."
Sensing something unusual about her son's demeanor, Victoria tentatively asked, "Why did you say so? What did you do?"
