Adina just remained silent when she heard Mdm. Daughertyâs muttering.
Dew and her led two different lives. She would never be able to live peacefully with Dew.
She opened her mouth and softly said, âGrandma, I met a boy the other day. He said that he was Dewâs-â
Crashh!
A loud crash suddenly came from the second floor. Broken glass pieces were scattered around, and some fell from the second floor to the lawn in the courtyard.
Adina frowned. âWhat happened?â
However, Mdm. Daugherty seemed to be used to it. âWhenever Dew loses her temper, she throws things. I wonder who made her angry this time. Addy, you quarrel with Dew whenever the two of you meet. Itâd be better if you donât stay for dinner.â Adina nodded. She stood up, walked over, and raised her head slightly. She could see Dewâs room.
She furrowed her brows with dissatisfaction before she slowly walked up to the second floor.
Meanwhile, Dew was not holding back. She raised her hand and threw a vase beside her to the floor.
âTrash! Theyâre all trash! They canât even do this properly!â Dew yelled in anger. âIs Adina really that difficult to handle? Why canât I do anything to her even after putting in so much effort?â Ruby gently advised her, âThe video has been removed, so our work actually hasnât been in vain.â
âBut Adina sent that woman to the police station. If she testifies against me and says that I bribed her to frame Adina, what am I going to do? I donât want to go to the police station and give a testimony!â As soon as Dew said that, the room door suddenly opened.
The two of them turned around in unison.
They saw Adina standing at the door with a smile. Her arms were wrapped around her chest as she leaned on the door. None of them knew how long she had been there. Dewâs eyes instantly widened.
âWhen⦠When did you get here? Who allowed you to step foot in my house?â
âIf I hadnât visited, I wouldnât have heard such an interesting conversation.â
Adina kicked the broken pieces of glass on the floor away before she walked in slowly. She glowered at Dew, and her voice turned extremely cold. âWhy did you bribe the driverâs mother to frame me?â Dew scowled at Adina. âDo I need to explain whatever I do to you?â
âYou got your son to deal with me first, then you did it yourself. Dew, do you fear my presence that much?â Adina tucked her hair behind her ear. âWhy are you so afraid of me? Could you please tell me?â
Dew was stunned. âWhen did I as Adina scoffed. âStop acting. I know what kind of person you are. Dew Daugherty, I donât care what youâre plotting, but you better keep yourself in check. I could be capable of anything if you piss me off.â
After she said that, she turned around and left. Dew walked to the balcony, and after she saw Adina driving away, she kicked the table angrily. âThat b*tch! Sheâs such a b*tch! How dare she act so arrogantly? D*mn it! Sheâs really getting on my nerves! Mom, what do you think we should do?â Ruby squinted. âHow did that b*tch, Adina, know that you have a son?â âSheâs met George before, so she knows about him. But she still doesnât know that Haroldâs my son.â Dew clenched her fists. âNo matter what, I canât let that b*tch figure out that I have twins, or else I wonât be able to hide anything.â Ruby paced back and forth in the room before she resolutely said, âLet George stay abroad. We mustnât let Adina discover that George is a child of the Winters family!â. âI know!â
Dew nodded, and her expression made her look vile and cruel. At that moment, her biggest regret was not killing one of the twins back then. If one of them were dead, things would be much simpler. Now, all kinds of things were entangled and complicated. Her head was in a mess, and it irritated her as well as made her anxious. The first thing she did was turn on her phone and send George a video.
