After dinner, it was already 8 p.m., so Adina took her kids home. Duke also walked out. âIâll send you home.â âYou donât have to.â Adina looked at him and curtly said. âI hope you can consider my suggestion, Mr. Winters.â After she said that, she led the kids into the car.
Duke stood outside the mansion. It was only after the car disappeared from the road that he slowly looked away. Should he be her boyfriend? But he just needed to pretend to be her boyfriend. If the word âpretendâ did not exist, perhaps he would have immediately agreed. âDad!â Harold dragged the hem of his suit. âDad, are you reluctant to let Auntie Adina leave?â Duke turned around and looked at his son. He pursed his lips, and he seemed to look contemptuous. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â âThatâs what they do on TV! When you are reluctant to let someone go, you will watch them leave.â Harold winked. âDad, donât be so down. Auntie Adina will come again tomorrow. She said she will come and accompany me every night. Yoohoo!â The boy chuckled in a silly manner. As though he suddenly thought of something, his expression suddenly became serious. âDad, can you not invite that woman to grandmaâs birthday party?â
Duke was still thinking about Adina, so he instantly did not wrap it around his head. âWhich woman?â
âThat witch, Dew Daugherty!â Harold bit his bottom lip, and he said gloomily, âAuntie Adina doesnât like that witch. If you invite that bad witch, Auntie Adina will not attend the party!â
George slowly walked over. Harold turned around and looked at him. âGeorge, I know what you want to say. Even if Dew is my mother, I also donât like her!â
But George calmly said, âDad, I also think we shouldnât invite mom. If she comes, she will definitely start a scene with Auntie Adina. To avoid unnecessary trouble, weâd better not send the invitation card to her.â âI also have the same thought.â Duke nodded.
Speaking of Dew, he suddenly remembered that he had let Trent investigate the incident five years ago.
He quickly walked upstairs and made a call to Trent.
As soon as the call was answered, he heard some obscene sounds from the other end of the call.
âTrent, what are you doing?â
Duke frowned, and his voice was filled with ice.
âWhat else can I do? Iâm doing what a proper man does with a woman. If you have something to say, make it fast. Iâm busy now!â Trent said casually, âOh yeah, Duke, youâve been single for so many years, so I guess you must have forgotten what this feels like. Iâll send you an address. Quickly come over.
Many women with big boobs and long legs are here todayâ¦â âShut up.â Duke coldly interrupted him.
Trent caught himself. âOkay, just say whatever you want to say now.â âAbout the incident that I asked you to investigate, what have you learned?â âWhat is it?â
Duke pursed his lips. âGrand Emperor Hotel, five years ago.â âOh, youâre talking about that. I asked my people to get the surveillance video, and they seemed to have sent it to me. I havenât had the time to check my email yet,â Trent absentmindedly said, âWhen Iâm done here, Iâll send the video to you. Just wait for a while.â âIâll give you one minute.â Duke directly hung up on him.
Trent swore incessantly as he clicked open his mailbox and forwarded the surveillance video that his assistant had sent him.
