Chapter 891 Duke only calmed down when Adina approached him and patted his back gently. He pursed his lips and continued, âThe surveillance is probably destroyed. Hire a hacker and restore it. We must find Earl.â
Duke was still furious even after hanging up. âCalm downâ¦â Adina said softly. âYou know Earl. Heâll never let himself get imprisoned for the rest of his life. He probably has been planning his escape the first day he got imprisonedâ¦â
Duke held her icy cold hand and said gently, âAddy, if you hadnât wanted to talk to Earl, I might not know when I would learn that heâs missingâ¦â âDuke, now is not the time to blame yourself.â Adina reassured him, âWe should think of potential places where he might be hiding.â
Duke had a stern expression. He gritted his teeth and said, âHeâs most probably coming to Sea City.â
He thought of a terrifying possibility. âEarl hates me. Itâs predictable that heâll come to Sea City to take his revenge. âHe might come for Addy insteadâ¦â
He subconsciously embraced Adina. âWe must stay together from now on.â
âEarl has raw data from the biochip. Itâll be extremely easy for him to harm Addyâ¦â
âDuke, donât worry. He wonât dare to do anything. If he were to find me, heâll definitely bump into you.
He isnât that stupid to enter the lionâs den.â Adina gave a forced smile. The two hugged each other tightly. The atmosphere became a little dreary. The night was getting darker as the clock struck eleven.
Duke finally let go of Adina.
âAddy, itâs getting late. Get some rest. Iâll keep you company in the room next door.â
Adina nodded and went into her bedroom obediently.
As soon as she got back to the room, she went to check the balcony and shifted the dresser to block the balcony glass door. Only then, she felt relieved. After she was done, she heard Earlâs voice echoing in her head.
âAddy, open the glass door.â
His voice echoed repetitively in her head.
Adina clenched her fists tightly and tried to fight against the voice.
The more she tried to go against the systemâs instructions, the more the back of her head hurt. It was as if her brain was about to explodeâ¦
All of a sudden, she tasted something metallic. Then, her mouth was filled with blood.
All the fight left her, and her willpower broke. Blood dripped down the corner of her mouth. She was already walking toward the balcony and moving the dresser that was blocking the glass door. She then unlocked it.
A dark figure walked in and drew the curtains. He was as cold as the night.
âPoor girl.â Earlâs hand stroked Adinaâs lips lightly and wiped the blood away. She tried to evade him but failed. Earl grabbed her chin tightly. âYouâd rather bleed than let me in. Adina, does Duke know that youâre keeping yourself pure for him?â
Adinaâs gaze was filled with anger. âEarl, just kill me.â
âKill you? Why should I?â Earl chuckled. âDo you know why I returned to Sea City? Firstly, Iâm here to teach you a lesson. I want you to know the consequences of betraying me. Secondly, itâs time for Duke and I to put an end to the grudge between us. I want you to kill him for me.â
Adina gritted her teeth âBut, no matter what, heâs my biological younger brother. I donât want to kill him just like that.â Earl lowered his head and sniffed Adinaâs neck. âHow about this? Make me happy tonight, and Iâll let Duke live for a few more days. How does that sound?â
