“Mom, don‘t worry.”
Earl slowly exhaled, producing a smoke ring.
The corners of his lips twitched, revealing a sinister smile.
“I was the original heir of the Winters family, and everything in the family should belong to me. I‘ll be the
one who ensures that
the glory of the Winters family lasts through the ages. As for Adina and the four children, they belong to
Duke. Why should I help the man who wants to kill me defend his lover? I‘m already being nice by not
killing them.”
“What are you planning?”
Mabel widened her eyes. She looked absolutely flabbergasted .
“What am I planning?” Earl tossed the cigarette butt to the floor, and the sparks
instantly burned a hole in the carpet.
He lifted his foot and crushed the cigarette. He then said coldly, “Before I become the
chairman of Winters Corporation, I won‘t hurt Adina at all. I hope she
understands this and doesn‘t bother me.”
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and walked away.
Mabel broke down. Tears streamed down her face, and they fell to the floor.
‘Well, that was another sleepless night for me.‘
Adina woke up early in the morning. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot.
She got up and sat in front of the vanity mirror. It took her some time to cover up the
fatigued look on her face with makeup.
When she opened the door and went downstairs, she saw her four children
sitting at the breakfast table looking in the direction of the living room, where the news was playing.
On the big television screen was a handsome face in a suit with countless reporters surrounding him.
“Mr. Winters, a reporter took a photo of you dancing with a sexy girl in a nightclub. Is that true?”
“Mr. Winters, rumors have it that you went to Europe for a business trip on the first day of your married l
ife. What does Mdm. Winters think about this?”
“Mr. Winters, I noticed that you‘re not wearing your wedding ring.
Did something happen between you and Mdm. Winters ?”
“Mr. Winters, four children came to your wedding. They must be yours and Mdm. Winters‘. Will you cont
inue to stay in the marriage for the sake of the children?”
“Mr. Winters…”
There were so many questions being thrown at him.
Adina stood at the side of the living room, slowly bowed her head, and looked at the sea–
blue diamond ring on her finger.
She suddenly remembered that she did not see Duke wearing the ring that night.
‘Did he take it off as soon as the wedding ceremony was over?
‘So, I’m just wearing the wedding ring by myself. How ridiculous is it?’
The interview on the television went on.
Earl‘s gaze turned sharp as he reached out for the nearest microphone.
He curled his lips upward, revealing a wild and lazy
smirk, “Why do I have to tell you reporters about my married life?”
The reporters were taken aback by his smile.
Duke Winters simply did not seem like he would be someone who would produce such a smile.
However, there did not seem to be anything off with him smiling in such a manner either.
Earl twiddled with the microphone in his hand and chuckled, “My wife and I are in love with each other, a
will be going against the Winters family. Your careers will be at stake.”
After he finished speaking, he simply dropped the microphone and walked away.
Even though the man‘s voice sounded familiar, Adina could not recognize the person on the screen.
She lowered her head and took
off the ring from her finger instantly. She raised her hand, wanting to throw it into the trash can.
