The manâs figure was slim and tall, and his expression was cold yet calm. The womanâs figure was slender, and she looked delicate and stunning. Her eyes were filled with tenderness after years of settling down.
âYou areâ¦â Rowan narrowed his eyes and carefully identified the two of them.
These two faces seemed to have dominated the business industry many years ago.
Rowanâs pupils enlarged slowly with shock and disbelief. âDuke Winters? Adina Daugherty?â
Duke looked indifferent, but Adina smiled faintly. She was extremely gentle. âI didnât expect that people would still recognize us.â
When Rowan saw them, his heart instantly felt clenched, as if he already lost control over something.
âWhy are you here? Did Ninian ask you to come and help?â Rowan asked before he resumed, âYou care about your baby daughter so much, but you didnât know that she would even curse her own mother for a man.â â
When Ninian heard it, her expression instantly changed. She angrily said, âNonsense!â
But Duke and Adina remained calm. They were not instigated at all.
âRegarding the curse, do you mean the fact that my wife was once implanted with a smart chip?â Duke indifferently said, âIf this is the case, then youâve heard it right. This did happen.â
When Rowan heard it, his expression froze. He winced his teeth and said, âNo way! Youâre just colluding and intentionally fooling me!â As he said it, he sneered and said, âLetâs stop beating around the bush. What are you trying to do when you put up a scene like this? Are you trying to convince me that the smart chip I implanted in Everett is useless and that I should stop playing this trick? Do you think you can fool me with such a stupid reason and let me spare Everett? Dream on!â
âRowan Craig, youâre really ignorant. Did other people fool you?â Duke looked at him with pity and said, âThe smart chip implantation was trending fifteen years ago. At that time, the solution to resolve it was already being developed, but only a few people knew about it.
âBut it doesnât mean that it canât be solved. My wife was once implanted with the smart chip a decade ago, but it was cleaned completely in three years. That even happened a decade ago.
âThe technology nowadays is so advanced, so itâs nearly a piece of cake for us to get rid of the smart chip off Everettâs body. Youâve put in so much effort in making such a big show, and itâs time to end it now.â
Duke indifferently stated, and it was very similar to what Ninian said not long ago.
But there were two different perceptions for Rowan.
Rowan might have suspected Ninian, but it was tough for him to suspect Duke.
This former emperor used to defy the world, so he did not need to lie for a junior.
He did not need to, and it would be beneath him to do it.
But if Rowan just accepted the fact that Everett has already recovered, and all his plans had been destroyed, that simply would not do.
His eyes turned slightly red, and he struggled yet again, as he rushed toward Duke.
Duke looked indifferent, and he ignored Rowan. He indifferently stared at Rowan who had been tied to the pillar, as Rowan was unable to move any further.
All his struggles became a joke.
âI donât believe it! I wonât believe in your lies!â Rowan became more unhinged. He even laughed. âThis is fake. I know itâs fake!
âEverett must be rolling somewhere in pain! He canât wait to kill himself! I know it! Donât try to deceive me!â
While he growled, Ninian stared at him, and her expression was filled with pity.
âIf you still wouldnât believe us now, we will let you see it for yourself! Give up!â
âWhat is there to see?â Rowan stared at her with red eyes.
Ninian did not bother him. Instead, she looked at the door and said, âEverett, come in.â
Right after Ninian spoke, the door was pushed open once again.
The young man in neatly ironed clothes walked in. His expression was indifferent and calm. He did not look like he was struggling, as Rowan had expected.
Rowan was dumbfounded. At the next moment, he gnashed his teeth.
