She pursed her lips and calmly said, âSince your enemy is Duke, you can take revenge by yourself.
Can you give me back my daughter?â
âWhat a ruthless woman!â Earley sneered. âHeâs sacrificing himself to save you. Donât you feel touched at all?â
âWhy would I feel touched ?â Adina coldly said, âIf not because of him, why would my daughter and I end up being threatened by you? Earley Wynters, youâre here to take revenge on Duke. Heâs now in your hands, so you can even kill him if you want! I just want to see my daughter now!â
âPatience. Letâs finish watching the show.â
Earley raised his hand and pressed down on Adinaâs shoulders. His head was very close to hers.
The breath that he exhaled onto Adinaâs face was filled with coldness.
She indifferently stared at the surveillance screen. She saw about eight people beating Duke up.
Dukeâs head was bleeding profusely. She saw Dukeâs black eyes staring at the sack that was hung up high in the distance. She slowly clenched her fists, and her fingertips dug deep into her palms. Only this could help her retain her calm expression A pool of blood spread across the damp floor in the warehouse Duke felt that he was losing his strength. This cannot go on.â He told himself.
If he really went down, Earl would never have the good conscience to spare Adina.
He gathered his strength and got up swiftly. The two muscular men who sat on his body and kept punching him were caught off guard. They tumbled to the floor.
When he stood up, those muscular men were shocked . Even if his body was full of injuries, those muscular men still took a step backward by instinct.
âEarl Winters, I know youâre watching me from somewhere!â
Duke said coldly, and his voice was low and cold with ruthlessness.
âAs long as you let Adina go, Iâll stand here and let you do as you please.â
He pursed his lips. âEven if you want to kill me, I wonât say no! But I have one condition : you have to let Adina go!â
His voice spread into the office.
Earley pursed his lips and smiled. âAdina, are you touched? This man is willing to die for you.â
Adina suddenly narrowed her eyes.
She suddenly loosened her fists and stood up.
Before Earley registered what she wanted to do, a skinny yet strong hand grabbed his neck.
The knife on the table that he had played with was also grabbed by the woman.
Adina grabbed the knife and pointed it at Earleyâs jugular. She chuckled. âMr. Wynters, is this game fun?â
Earleyâs gaze darkened completely.
He was a conceited and arrogant man. So after he brought Adina over, he had not tied her up.
As long as this woman thought her daughter was in his hand, then she would not fight back. He narrowed his eyes. âIt looks like you donât want to see your daughter anymore, Miss Daugherty.â
âEarley, donât lie to me. You donât even have my daughter.â Adina scoffed. âI followed you here because I didnât want to take any risks, and because my daughter is my life! But I already came up with a possibility just now, which is that my daughter is not with you!
âIf Mel was really in your hands, Duke would not have said those words,â she coldly said. âHe would say that as long as you let Mel and I go, his life will be yours! But from the beginning to the end, he did not mention our daughter even once! In other words, my daughter is very safe now!â
She looked around. âMr. Wynters, now your life is in my hands. Is there anything you have to say for yourself ?â
