Alden secretly thought, âOh, no.â Duke was very special to his sister. Whenever she saw Duke, she would be automatically drawn to him.
He had made a mistake this time.
He quickly ran after Melody and instantly grabbed her arm.
âMel, donât run. Momâs going to be worried.â Alden gently coaxed her. âMomâs not well. If sheâs worried about you, she wonât recover.â
Melody finally stopped running.
She walked up to the handrail in the hospitalâs corridor and looked downstairs. She only looked away after Dukeâs figure disappeared.
Alden looked down and clenched his fists tightly.
Duke Winters was very likely their father.
However, that man had made two women pregnant at the same time, so he was not qualified to be their father.
If his sister acknowledged Duke as her father, she could possibly be hurt once again. He did not want his mother and sister to get hurt.
He was a man. He would grow up soon, and he would take care of the family on his own.
After Adina received the infusion, she felt much better, but she was still quite dizzy. So, she decided to be discharged tomorrow.
Her two kids were very obedient. Alden led his sister to the other bed in the ward, and they slept there without a sound.
Flint sat by Adinaâs bed and whispered, âI already sent some people to investigate the incident. The Daugherty familyâs behind it.â
âI know.â Adina pursed her lips before she said, âEthan went to the police station earlier. He identified the suspect, but they refused to admit a thing. They just said that they were horny, and they were not afraid of any sentence.â
âSince the Daugherty family has decided to go this far, theyâre not afraid of being exposed,â Flint said coldly. âBut now that theyâve resorted to dirty tricks, we can operate on the concept of an eye for an eye.â As he spoke, he took a stack of documents from behind him. âThis is Daugherty Corporationâs customer list. Theyâre in contact with some important customers. Take a look.â
Adina frowned. âWhere did you get this?â
Flint touched his own nose. He dared not say that Alden had given it to him.
If addy found out that Alden had stolen anothor nominalna lidentinin
hacking, his laptop would definitely be confiscated. He cleared his throat before he said, âDonât you know who I am? Iâm the Morton familyâs young master. I have a lot of power. How can I not find such easy information? Just take it. Iâm sure you know better than me how to use this information to counterattack the Daugherty family.â
Adina took the documents and casually glanced at them.
The information was very detailed. Even the customersâ favorite colors and where they enjoyed their leisure time had been uncovered. One could say that having this name list meant she had a 50%
leverage over Daugherty Corporation. She sincerely said, âThank you.â
âWhat? You donât have to say thank you.â Flint casually waved his hand in dismissal before he flashed her a naughty smile. âBut if you really want to thank me, why donât you⦠marry me?â The light feeling of warmth that filled Adinaâs heart instantly disappeared, and she glanced at him in annoyance. âDo you want to be punched?â Flint scowled. âIâm just kidding. You donât think Iâm being serious, do you?â Adina was at a loss for words.
If Mel had not accepted Flint, she would have kicked this man out of Sea City. At 8.00 am the next day, Flint brought the two kids to preschool while Adina got herself discharged from the hospital.
