She walked around the banquet hall, but she could not find Duke, so she stopped a waiter and asked,
"Did you see where Mr.Winters went?"
The waiter respectfully answered, "I saw Mr.Winters heading to the lounge on the balcony twenty
minutes ago."
"Thank you."
After Adina thanked him, she walked toward the balcony in her high heels.By this time, the banquet
was nearing its end.
Many people had already left, so the balcony was empty.
When she walked over, she saw a figure standing at the entrance of the balcony.
Soon, that person reached out to block her way.
"Please stop, Mdm.Winters."
Adina looked at Arden and indifferently asked, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"I'm sorry, Mdm.Winters.That was Mr.Winters’ instruction,"
Arden said respectfully.
"I dare not disobey his orders."
Adina narrowed her eyes before she raised her hand and grabbed Arden’s wrist.
Arden practiced martial arts as well, so he started to fight back out of reflex.
The two of them fought at the entrance of the balcony.
After three rounds, Arden realized what he had done, and he immediately stopped.
"Mdm.Winters, please don’t trouble me."
"If you don’t want me to trouble you, go away!" Adina said coldly.
"You should know that the more you try to stop me, the more I want to walk past.Also, you can’t stop
me!"
She suddenly lifted the hem of her tight black dress above her knee before she raised her leg and
stepped on Arden’s knee with her high heel.
Arden was caught off guard, and he fell to his knees.
By the time he tried to fight back, he had lost the opportunity.He subconsciously touched his waist.
The moment he lifted his shirt, Adina saw a black object.He really had a gun.
It was an illegal item! Arden let go of his hand as soon as he touched his gun, and he grabbed Adina’s
ankle forcefully.
Adina sneered.
"If I tell Duke that his subordinate sexually harrassed me, what do you think he’ll do to you?"
Arden immediately released her ankle.
Adina raised her leg and ruthlessly kicked him in the chest.
Then, she turned around and walked toward the lounge on the balcony.
Arden covered his chest and tried to shout, but Adina acted faster than him, kicking down the door to
the lounge.
That was when Adina witnessed the scene behind it.
The man was leaning back on the couch.
His coat had been casually thrown on the carpet, and two of the buttons on his white shirt had been
undone.
A woman was snuggled up against him, while her soft and weak hands touched his chest.
Almost as soon as the door was kicked open, Earl stood up and threw Catherine to the ground.
"Ms.Daugherty, this is a misunderstanding..."
Catherin picked up the thin blanket to cover her exposed chest as she explained with a flustered
expression.
Adina sneered before she walked in slowly.
"If I see you sleeping together naked, will you also say that it’s a misunderstanding?"
She picked up a glass of unfinished red wine from the tea table and splashed it on Earl's face.
"Ms.Daugherty, this has nothing to do with Mr.Winters.It’s all my fault.I seduced him..."
Catherine explained anxiously.Adina turned around and gave her a hard slap.
