Chapter 363

in Winters Corporation.

“Chairman Winters, he is here in Sea City.”

Jake placed a stack of photos on the desk.

Duke ran his fingers over the photos. A dark look gradually emerged on his face.

He asked coldly, “Where else did he go besides LaStar Technology Corporation?”

Jake shook his head. “He‘s been in the bar all afternoon, and he‘s not out yet.” Duke picked up the
lighter and started burning through the stack of photos on his desk. The silver mask on it was gradually
engulfed by eerie blue flames.

After the photos were gone, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. The time was 5 p.m.

“Postpone the evening meeting.”

He grabbed his suit and headed out.

“Chairman Winters, the meeting this evening is a briefing on last quarter‘s performance. It‘s an
important meeting.” When Jake went after him, Duke was already in the elevator.

He walked to the parking lot. He opened the car door and sat inside. Then, he sent a message to
Adina. “I will reach your office in 20 minutes.”

Adina was in a meeting. She was a little surprised when she saw the message.

Why would this man want to come to her office?

She sent a question mark over.



“I promised Mel that I would pick her up from school today. I‘m going to the preschool with

you.”

When Adina saw Duke‘s message, she replied, “Okay.” She put down her phone. After she
summarized the meeting, she went back to her office. She wrapped up her work for the day and tidied
her desk. She was just waiting for Duke to come, so she could get off work.

Her phone suddenly vibrated, and it was Ethan who was calling.

“Addy, such a big incident happened last night. Why didn‘t you tell me about it?”

Adina paused for a moment. “How did you find out?”



“The security office called me and told me about what happened last night, otherwise, I‘d still be in the
dark,” Ethan sighed and said. “You‘re a single mother with two kids living there alone. I‘m really worried
about you. How about this? Why don‘t you move to our house with me and Grandma around, no one
would dare to tell you what to do.”

That villa belonged to the Xavier family. The security office probably gave Ethan a call after they
investigated the attack last night.

Adina really did not expect that the matter would become known to her cousin.

She said in a resigned manner, “Grandma still hasn‘t heard about this, right?”

“I wouldn‘t dare to tell Grandma.” Ethan paused and said, “The guard at the security office told me that
those two men in black shirts were sent by the Osbome family. I thought your children had nothing to
do with Tyson? Why did they still send men over to mess with you?”



Adina had held a press conference before to clarify the identities of her children. Ethan naturally
believed what she said.

Adina said as she gathered the documents, “It‘s true that Al and Mel have nothing to do with the
Osborne family. I‘ve made that point very clear to Tyson. I don‘t think he will come anymore. Don‘t
worry, Ethan. I will protect Al and Mel. If I ever need any help in the future, I promise that you will be the
first one I call.”

Ethan was silent for a few seconds before he asked tentatively, “Addy, may I know who the biological
father of Al and Mel is?”

Adina fell silent the moment he asked that question.

“I‘m sorry, Addy. I know this is your private matter. I shouldn‘t have asked that. Forget I asked.”

“Ethan, it‘s not that I don‘t want to tell you. I just haven‘t figured out how to tell you.” Adina leaned
against the balcony window. She looked out the window at the skyscrapers without really focusing on
them.

Sometimes, after keeping something to yourself for too long, you just needed to talk to someone about
it
