"Ms.Catherine?" Mr.Brown walked out into the courtyard.
When he saw a familiar figure, he opened his mouth and called out her name.Ms.Catherine was a
close friend of Mabel, but she had a little scandal with Master not long ago.
If the madam had not been at home, he certainly would not have let Ms.Catherine in.However, at this
moment, the master and the madam were still as sweet as ever.
This was a good time to show Catherine, so she could dispel her inappropriate intent.Mr.Brown walked
over and opened the gate.He said with a smile, "Have you had dinner, Ms.Catherine?"
Catherine glanced up a little to the dining room and shuddered.She took a deep breath and said,
"Mr.Brown, please tell Mrs.Winter that something came up, and I have to go now."
She turned around and fled.
Mr.Brown's gaze was contemptuous.Catherine must have learned that Master had returned.That’s why
she came over on purpose.
However, when she saw that the madam was here too, she got cold feet.Mistresses these days were
so shameless.He could not figure out why Master would get involved with a woman like this.
Mr.Brown was about to close the gate when a cold voice came from behind him.
"Ms.Catherine, since you're already here, why don't you come inside?" Adina walked over.
Her gaze was clear and cold.Her eyes were shooting daggers at her.
Catherine had not walked out two meters yet.She turned around slowly and met Adina’s cold stare.She
bit her lower lip and said, "You can’t blame me.You thought I really wanted Earl to find you? You
thought I really wanted you to return? Once you come back, it'd be even impossible for me to be with
him."
Adina stared at her.
"I’m not going to eat you.What are you afraid of?"
As soon as she said that, she noticed the wound beneath Catherine’s collarbone.It was a burn.She
could tell it was a cigarette burn just by looking at it.Her eyes narrowed.
"After we separated at the airport that day, didn’t I tell you to leave Sea City for a few days? Not only
did you not leave, but you continued to pester Earl, didn’t you?" Catherine clenched her fists tightly.
The thing she regretted most at the moment was remaining in Sea City.
Adina took her children and left, while she had become a tool for Earl to vent his anger.
If Earl had beaten and humiliated her personally, she could have accepted it.However, he had hired
seven to eight thugs to keep an eye on her.
They defiled her body and soul.She was physically wounded all over and mentally traumatized.She
was a psychiatrist.She knew clearly that some damage had been done to her mind.She got them after
being tortured during this period.
"Earl isn’t here.Come inside with me."
Adina turned around and headed inside.
Catherine, however, did not move her feet.
"Don’t lie to me.I saw him there."
"What’s the matter? You can’t even recognize the man you love now?" Adina smirked.
"He’s not Earl."
Catherine was stupefied.She took a few steps forward quickly.She looked through the glass to the side
of the man’s face at the table.She recognized him just by looking at the side of his face.
Indeed, he was not Earl.
The man who sat there was Duke.It was Duke, who was supposed to be dead!
