Duke said softly, âAddy, donât be afraid. Now that we know it is Earl, everything will be easier. You just wait patiently.â
He called Blake and told him to find the carrier.
Blake called back after an hour. âBoss, I found it! It was an earring. That was the transmitter.â âSend it over as fast as you can,â Duke ordered.
However, even the fastest channel would take at least two days.
Adina stayed in the mansion and did not go anywhere for the next two days. Duke stayed with her.
She leaned on the couch and read a book. Duke was in the kitchen, cooking, Adina smiled watching him trying to cook. The man, who had never cooked, was learning to do it for her. Although he was an amateur at it, she loved the food he made for her.
âJones Corporation discovered a rare large oil field.â News about Jones Corporation was reported on TV, which attracted Adinaâs attention.
âIt is a rare oil field that has not been seen in the Sea City for a hundred years. The amount of exploitation is huge. The stock price of Jones Corporation has risen, and its market value has reached its peak.â
ses Adina frowned. Such a large oil field was discovered during the assessment period. They needed to work harder for the resort to win against the oilfield project.
Duke had taken over the affairs of LaStar Technology Corporation on behalf of her. Since Adina had nothing to do, she carefully reviewed the documents of the resort project.
Right then, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Dillon. She answered. But the voice on the other end of the phone was of Mr. Jones. âCan you come over?â
Adina was stunned. âWhere?â âThe Jones familyâs mansion,â Mr. Jones said in a low voice. âReach here within half an hour.â Dillon took the phone back âAddy, donât worry, and drive slowly. It doesnât matter if you take even an hour to reach here. Take care.â
Adina sensed that something had happened. âOkay, Iâll be right there.â
She closed the file, put on her slippers, and went upstairs to change.
She changed into a comfortable dress, put on light make-up and went downstairs. Duke had already prepared two dishes and a bowl of soup. He was placing them on the dining table. âAddy, where are you going?â he asked when he saw her all dressed up. Adina smiled. âMy father called and asked me to come to his mansion. Maybe he has decided product. He got the server data, and he has been giving me orders. I donât know what will happen to me next.â
Duke held her hands. âIf he can give the orders, it means he has a carrier. Iâll ask Blake to find it.â
Recognition dawned in Adinaâs eyes. âHow can I be so stupid?â She had completely forgotten that one needed a carrier to give orders. If the carrier was destroyed, he could not torture her anymore.
That would give them time to find the server and destroy the program as well.
Duke said softly, âAddy, donât be afraid. Now that we know it is Earl, everything will be easier. You just wait patiently.â
He called Blake and told him to find the carrier.

Adina smiled. âMy father called and asked me to come to his mansion. Maybe he has decided on an heir. Iâll go after we eat.â
She sat down at the table, She took a bite of the food. âDuke, this tastes amazing! And this is only the third time you have cooked. You have improved a lot.â
Duke served her a bowl of soup. âDonât rush. Take your time to eat.â
Adina drank the bowl of soup in one go.
Sometimes, a person had to be encouraged for them to learn and excel in whatever they were trying.
Some learnt faster than others, and some took their time.
She had always thought her children had inherited her high IQ, but she discovered that her husband wasnât far behind. His talents exceeded her expectations.
