Chapter 650

It seemed that no matter what happened, she could always plan the next step without changing her exp
ression.

After she learned that Duke was dead, should she not cry in pain and be extremely sad? How
could she still think of making a deal with him?

“What‘s the deal?” he asked nonchalantly.

“I can keep your secret, but you have to tell me where you sent Duke,” Adina
firmly said as she stared at him.

No matter what, she did not believe that Duke was dead.

When Earl heard her request, his expression instantly turned cold.

Duke! Duke again!

This woman could pretend to be polite toward him for so many days for Duke!

This woman could even keep this secret for Duke!

Did she love Duke that much?

Earl raised his hand and grabbed Adina‘s chin. “Am I not in front of you now?” he asked in a persistent
but menacing manner.

Adina squinted. “Is it interesting to continue pretending?”



“I‘m genuinely
Duke Winters. Unless you can find any evidence to prove that I’m not Duke Winters, you sound crazy.”

Earl threw her to the side unfeelingly.

He took out a tissue and wiped his fingers with disgust.

“Adina Daugherty, you better be honest and stop playing tricks with me. I have numerous ways to make
you miserable.” He kicked Pete who was lying on the ground with revulsion. “Get him
to keep his mouth shut. Once there are any rumors, I‘ll kill him first.”

After he spoke, he pulled the ward door open and walked out.

Adina sat on the ground weakly. It was only after
a while that grief filled her heart. She buried her face in her knees and cried out in pain.

After she cried for a long time, she slowly calmed down.

She called the doctor and sent Pete to another hospital before she
changed into her own clothes and went through the discharge procedures.

The moment she stepped out
of the ward, Arden walked over from the corner of the corridor. “Madam, is there anything I can do for y
ou?”

Adina scoffed. “Do I have to report what I want to do to you?”

Arden dared not stare at her red eyes. He lowered his head and said, “Mr. Winters has
ordered me to protect you closely.”

Adina could not be bothered to ask whether it was protection or surveillance.



She completed the discharge procedures and left through the
hospital‘s back door. She got a cab and returned to the Winters family‘s mansion.

The Winters family‘s mansion was terrifyingly cold without the children.

“Madam,” the servants in the mansion greeted her respectfully.

Nobody had expected the madam who had been hospitalized to suddenly come home.

“Where‘s Mrs. Winters?” Adina asked indifferently.

Mr. Brown moved forward and said, “Mrs. Winters has gone to attend a gathering. She‘ll come back
later. Is there anything, Madam?”

“Nothing.” Adina sat down on the couch in the living room. “I‘m a little hungry. Please make me somethin

Mr. Brown immediately arranged for the chef to prepare some food.

He glanced at Adina and felt that she suddenly seemed strange, but he dared not
ask. He just proceeded to the courtyard to carry out his other work.

The food was quickly prepared, and Adina ate in the dining room.

To act like a frail patient, she had
starved for a few days, so her body was extremely weak. That led to her not taking initiative immediately
Pete to be injured.

Following the meal, Adina took her laptop and sat on the couch in the living room to handle her company

The sky slowly turned dark.



When Mabel came back from her gathering, she stood at the hallway entrance to
change her shoes. That was when she saw Adina suddenly walk toward her.
