As night fell, the lights in the mansion‘s courtyard lit up, one by one.
The bright lights were reflected in the children‘s eyes. In the light, there was her figure.
Adina‘s heart was filled with tenderness.
If she asked the kids to leave now, they would certainly refuse to listen to her.
However, it was too dangerous for them to stay in the Winters family‘s mansion.
She pursed her lips and decided without hesitation. She said, “ Now is not the time to get a divorce, but
we can‘t stay in the Winters family‘s mansion anymore. I will go upstairs and pack our things. We will
move out tonight.”
She had just walked into the mansion when she was stopped by Mabel.
Mabel had been standing on pins and needles all day. It was as if her heart had been thrown into a
frying pan, and only she knew what it felt like.
She had seen the news on the internet. There were all kinds of rumors about their divorce. Before she
could even digest it, the children came back.
..
It was not a good thing to have the children back at a time like this.
She was well aware of the kind of man his eldest son was. Ten years ago, he had murdered four
people. Yet in the end, he let his own father bear the blame and be executed. He sent his own brother
abroad and let him die tragically ten years later. There was no guarantee at this point that Earl would
not harm the children in order to keep his secret.
“Addy, I have a house in the suburbs. No one knows it‘s my property. You and the kids can stay there
first.”
Just as Mabel finished her words, a cold smile appeared on Adina‘s face. “Do you think that I would still
trust you?”
She had colluded with Earl and fooled her. If she had not noticed something was wrong, she would
have been persuaded by Mabel to have another child with Earl.
“Addy, the children are my grandchildren. They are Duke‘s offsprings. How could I possibly harm
them?” Mabel lowered her voice and convinced her. “Earl has an extreme personality. He may force
you to compromise by threatening you with the children‘s lives. You…”
“If you knew he had an extreme personality, why did you let him show up in my and the children‘s
lives?” Adina lost her composure and said, “If you hadn’t contacted him in secret, Duke would never
have been harmed by Earl! Mrs. Winters, if Duke really dies, I will never forgive you. When the children
find out, they will never forgive their grandmother too!”
She shook off Mabel‘s hand and went straight upstairs to pack her things.
Mabel’s legs went weak, and she fell back on the couch.
How did things get to this point? How?
She covered her face and wept.
The children heard her cry from outside. They hurriedly came in and surrounded her.
“Grandma, what‘s wrong? Why are you crying?” “Stop crying, Grandma. Let me wipe off the tears for
you.”
“Grandma, are you hurt? Let me blow on your wound.”
Mabel wept even harder. When these adorable kids learned the truth, they would despise her.
If she had not met with Earl again and again in secret, if she had not arranged for Earl to enter the
wedding venue, things would never have come to this point.
When Adina finished packing her bags and came downstairs , she saw Melody in Mabel‘s arms and
Harold leaning on Mabel‘s shoulder.
Her expression turned cold, and she said flatly, “Let‘s go.”
“Bye–bye, Grandma.”
The children waved obediently at Mabel and followed Adina out the door of the mansion.
Flint had already parked his car at the door. He helped her put the two large suitcases into the trunk.
However, just at that moment…
A black luxury car slowly drove in and stopped in front of the villa.
Earl pushed open the car door and stepped out. His cold gaze passed from one to another.
“What a party.”
His lips curled. His wicked grin widened even more.
