The nonchalant voice finally grew a little more serious.
“Winters Corporation is pretty much under my control now. Even if my identity is discovered by him, it
won‘t be a threat to me.”
“Earl!” Mabel raised her voice in anger. “Do you know how many people are watching Winters
Corporation ? Do you know how many people are jealous of Winters Corporation? You are going out of
control. Your character is violent and wild. Before long, other than the children, the servants in the
Winters family mansion, the employees in Winters Corporation, and the press will eventually find out
that the CEO of Winters Corporation is a different person. There will be no more room for maneuvers
by then!”
“I know you don‘t care about the survival of Winters Corporation, but it‘s your father‘s life‘s work!” Mabel
cried and pleaded, “Your father died because of you. You can‘t spoil your father‘s life‘s work! Earl, you
don‘t care about anything in the world. All I am asking is, before you do anything, think about your poor
father.”
“That‘s enough, I got it!”
Earl impatiently ended the call.
He leaned against the CEO‘s office chair. He crossed his legs and propped them up on the table. His
brow was furrowed.
Click–clack.
The sound of high heels clacking on the floor suddenly came from outside the door.
He thought that it was Miss Clark. Without opening his eyes, he coldly commanded. “Get me a cup of
coffee.”
“As I expected, you are acting more and more like a CEO.”
He suddenly heard a woman‘s voice.
Earl‘s eyes snapped open. He bolted upright. He walked over and kicked the office door shut.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him.” What are you doing here?”
“I‘m here to check on you.”
Catherine threw her purse on the sofa and wrapped her soft and feeble arms around his neck.
“Earl, after you become Winters Corporation‘s CEO, you will stay in Sea City, right?”
Earl shook her hand off and said coldly, “Is this any of your business?”
“Earl, you lived in the darkness before this. I could only see you once every year. Do you know how
painful it was for me?” Catherine‘s tears rolled down her cheeks one by one. “Now, you can finally walk
in the light without having to hide. I‘m just so happy. Earl, I won‘t ask for anything else. I just want to
see you every day, and… That‘s enough for me. Really.”
Earl found it annoying.
He pinched his brow and said indifferently, “Well, now that
Catherine bit her lip and forced back her tears.
She loved this man‘s coldness and darkness, but she also hated him for being so apathetic.
No matter which side of hers she showed him, he did not seem to bother looking at her more than
once.
“Earl, you are not Duke. You don‘t have to bear all his obligations.” Catherine pulled on his tie and
slowly said,“ Divorce Adina and marry me, okay?”
Earl suddenly grabbed her delicate throat.
“Catherine, I‘ll say this again. I am Duke. Don‘t call me by my old name again.” His voice was stern and
cold, as if he was a devil from hell. “You know my secret. You should never speak of it. Otherwise, I will
make you disappear from this world with no one ever learning about it, just like Duke!”
After saying that, he threw her away.
Catherine fell to the ground.
She covered her neck and breathed heavily like she had just escaped from death‘s door.
