“Earl is not the same as Duke. They are two completely different people!” Catherine yelled in a low
voice, “Before you knew Earl, he had already been with countless women. His female companion
changed everyday, and they are never the same. He‘s treating you well because he finds you fresh.
When the novelty wears off, you will be abandoned by him, like me.”
“Is that so?” Adina smiled. “I‘m more beautiful than you, and I have more dimensions than you. I don‘t
think I‘m not even able to make him fall for me. Like now, I’ve asked him to send you out of Sea City,
and he is doing it without saying anything. I asked him to leave the room, and he obediently went out.
You‘ve met Earl for so many years. Have you ever seen him acting upon the whims of a woman like
that?”
Adina‘s words stabbed Catherine‘s chest like a sharp knife.
She clenched her fists tightly to suppress her grief, discontentment, and jealousy.
“As long as Earl can treat my kids as his own, I can live the rest of my life with him,” Adina continued.
“He looks identical to Duke. When he is gentle, even their smiles are identical. As long as I hypnotize
myself, I can treat him as Duke and the man I love the most. Either way, life will still go on no matter
who I live with, and I don‘t really care.”
Catherine started shaking.
She had waited for Earl for so many years. She had waited for him to come out of the shadows, waited
for him to start being an upright person, and waited for herself to marry him.
But everything that she fantasized about was being taken away by Adina.
The man she loved actually forcefully sent her away just for Adina the bitch.
She refused to give in. She could not leave willingly..
“Don‘t stare at me like you want to kill me. You know, I don‘t love Earl. If you had not cooperated with
him to kill my husband, I wouldn‘t even have spared him a glance,” Adina said coldly.” Since you‘ve
killed my man, then you should give your man away
“What if I say Duke is not dead?”
Catherine gritted her teeth and spoke.
A light suddenly shone in Adina‘s cold and desolate heart.
She did not know whether it was true or fake, but she was willing to believe in the 1% possibility.
She suppressed her excitement before she scoffed and said,” Everyone says he‘s dead, and now
you‘re saying that he isn‘t. Do you think I will take your word over everyone else‘s ?”
“Adina, if Duke is really still alive, will you leave Earl?” Catherine firmly asked.
“There is no if…”
Adina looked down and suppressed the trembling of her fingers.
“Earl himself is actually unsure whether Duke is dead or not. More precisely, Duke is missing, and his
status is unknown.” Catherine lowered her voice and softly said, “A month ago, on your wedding day,
Earl set up a trap to lure Duke, and Duke was caught in my apartment in the end. Earl ordered me to
wash away Duke‘s memories over the past twenty years, but guess what?”
Catherine looked at Adina‘s eyes. “During the process of washing his memories, Duke was calling your
name. He kept calling your name again and again to strengthen the memories where the two of you
met. Because of this, I failed to wash his memories away. The process was very painful, and he was
very strong–willed and refused to cooperate. In the end, he could not bear it, and he fainted.”
Adina was completely stunned.
She looked up in disbelief. “Is everything you say true?“.
“If Ilie, I will die,” Catherine said in a deep voice. “Duke loves you so much. Even when his life was
threatened, he refused to forget you. But you‘re actually willing to commit yourself to Duke‘s elder
brother just to have a worry–free life. Are you worthy of Duke‘s love?”
Adina‘s long eyelashes trembled. “You failed to purge his memories, so where did he go, then?“
