Chapter 656

.

Adina turned her body sideways and asked calmly, “Are you free to talk?”

“What leverage can you use to negotiate with me?” Earl sneered. “Forget about using my identity. Let
me warn you again: if my identity is exposed, the psychologist will be the first to die. And … the least
obedient among the four children will be next in line.”

Adina clenched her fist. She almost threw it at him.

Threatening her with her children was a quick way to break her composure.

‘Luckily, I‘ve sent them overseas. I don‘t have to worry about them.’

She took a deep breath. “It’s precisely because I don‘t have leverage that I want to talk to you. You
don‘t want to have a ticking time bomb living in the house, do you?”

Earl took a glance at Adina, strode into the bedroom, and sat down on the bed.

He crossed his legs, looking like a gangster.

Before this, he had been forced to learn how Duke acted.

However, now that his identity has been exposed, he has become even more comfortable.

He took out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it before saying, “Go on.”

Adina‘s hatred towards him boiled up even more as she watched how he acted.

‘This man killed my husband. But I still need to make false promises with him here.

‘I need to stay calm. I can only find Duke‘s whereabouts if I am calm.‘



“Frankly, I hate you. I hate you so much that I want to kill you. But…” She paused before continuing to
say, “My four children have just started having a happy, complete family. They finally have a father and
a mother. If they find out that their father has passed away, it will impact them a lot. No mother can
endure such humiliation for her child, and neither can I.”

Earl frowned as he looked at her. “So?”

“But I‘m not willing to stay in the Winters family just because of the children.” Adina gritted her teeth.
“Since we‘ve come to this, let‘s sign a divorce paper for a start.”

She took out the divorce paper from the drawer again.

“Do you really think I‘ll agree with the divorce?” Earl chuckled. “I just got a firm foothold in Winters
Corporation. If I were to get divorced, everyone would be asking me questions. It doesn‘t benefit me at
all.”





‘I personally do not want to let Adina go too.

‘Even if she hates me, I must force her to stay in the Winters family…

“Since you don‘t agree to the divorce, I need to have assurance, so I can continue to be Mdm. Winters
with ease of mind.”

Adina tossed the divorce paper on the bed and looked at him with an icy cold gaze.

Earl stubbed the cigarette and smiled coldly, “So, you were confident that I won‘t agree to the divorce,
aren‘t you? You even thought about your demands already, huh?



Adina brushed her black and beautiful long hair to the back and smiled brightly, “Earl, I‘m sure you
have feelings for me, even if it‘s just a little bit.”

“Of course. You‘re pretty. All men would fall for you.” He stood up and touched her hair. “But it‘s just a
fling, like how men fall for the hottest women in a nightclub. You get what I‘m trying to say, right?”

Adina‘s expression instantly turned cold, “Why do you still want me to be Mdm. Winters when you only
see me as one of those women from the nightclub?

“Earl, listen up.” She took a step back and said coldly, “If you don‘t want to divorce, transfer the shares
that belong to the four children to my name.”

Children of the Winters family automatically held the shares of Winters Corporation when they were
born.

However, because the children were too young, the shares had been placed under Duke‘s name.

Dukė suddenly disappeared before Alden and Melody‘s shares were transferred…

‘Whatever belongs to Duke has been taken by Earl. But as for those belonging to the children, I will
take it all back.‘

“Oh, you‘re really brave, aren‘t you?” Earl laughed. “The four of them aren‘t my children. Why should I
transfer the shares to them?”

“Because these shares originally belong to them, and you are just a thief.” Adina said clearly, “You took
Duke‘s things, just as the Winters family owes you, but the four children are innocent. Why should they
pay for the feud between the previous generation?”
