Chapter 648

“Daugherty, calm down first. I‘ll ask her a few more questions.” Pete continued to stare at Catherine and
ask, “Who sent Duke out of the country?”

“It was Earl,” Catherine said dumbfoundedly. “He sent Duke away, but Duke sought death. He marched
to his own death. It had nothing to do with Earl. It had nothing to do with anyone,” Catherine muttered to
herself, and her pupils started to move again.

It was a sign that she was about to wake up.

Adina was in so much pain that it felt as if she had been shot. She had difficulty breathing.

She gripped Catherine‘s shoulders and lost her cool as she asked, “Where did you send him? Tell me,
which country Duke was sent to?”

She shook Catherine‘s shoulders with great force.

“Daugherty, calm down. She‘ll wake up if you do this.”

Pete grabbed Adina‘s arm to pull her away, but right then...

The ward door was suddenly pushed open.

“Addy, coffee‘s here. It‘s still hot.”

Earl held on to the handle and stepped into the ward with one foot. He was completely stunned.

He looked at the situation before him. Catherine was leaning back on the couch with a blank expression.
He could tell that she was hypnotized.

A man in a white coat grabbed Adina’s arm, and the two of them were clearly arguing about something.



At that moment, Catherine regained consciousness as well.

“Earl, Adina hypnotized me!” She got up and ran toward Earl. ” She knows everything. She set this up!”

Earl stood at the ward door while he looked at Adina coldly.

Adina returned the same look at Earl.

Since things had progressed to this point, there was no need to pretend anymore.

She had plotted for so long because she wanted to find out where the real Duke was, but Catherine said
Duke was dead.

Could she believe a hypnotized person?

“Very good. Great.”

Earl pressed his tongue against his palate and smiled angrily.

He looked at the still–steaming coffee and suddenly found it hilarious. He had been such a fool!

When he loosened his grip, the coffee fell to the ground with a splash, and the coffee spilled everywhere
on the ground.

He lifted his feet, stepped on the coffee cup with his black leather shoes, and walked toward Adina
slowly.

“Don‘t mess around...”

Pete shielded Adina with an alert expression and stared at the man who was approaching.

“Get out!”



Earl emanated a ruthless aura. He raised his arm, grabbed Pete‘s collar, and threw him to the side.

Pete was very skinny and weak. Upon getting thrown, his head hit the wall, and he fainted instantly.

“Pete!”

Adina was so shocked that she promptly rushed over.

Pete was a doctor whom she had hired. If anything happened to him because of her, she would have to
bear the consequences.

However, before she could check on Pete’s injury, the man grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into
his arms by force.

“Adina Daugherty, is it fun to make a fool out of me?”

Earl stared at her and gritted his teeth. Every word carried great anger.

Adina stared at him and chuckled out of extreme rage.” Shouldn‘t it be my turn to ask you that? Earl
Winters, is it very fun to act as your own brother?”
