Chapter 681

“Earl had some people send the unconscious Duke abroad to Hestia Border.”

Adina was stunned again.

Hestia Border was an area that always came up in the news. It was notorious for chaos and darkness,
and it was a place of death that even international organizations dared not enter.,

It was really hard to imagine what the unconscious Duke would encounter when he was sent there.

Adina suddenly dared not continue listening to Catherine, but she had to know everything that
happened to Duke.

She closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was already fighting back her tears.
“Catherine, continue.”

Catherine subconsciously cast a glance at the door.

She said a lot of things. If Earl knew about this, she did not know whether she would walk away from
this with her life.

“Don‘t worry, I won‘t tell Earl,” Adina indifferently said, “If my husband is still alive, I will return Earl to
you. But if my husband is dead, you‘ll never be able to marry Earl.”

What she said had struck Catherine‘s soft spot.

She took a deep breath and said, “You also know how chaotic Hestia Border is. Earl threw the
unconscious Duke into the slums and withdrew all his subordinates , letting Duke fend for



himself. Why do we say that Duke is dead? It‘s because there has been no news about Duke from that
place. He has either been recruited by other organizations or lost his life in the hostile environment.”

Adina‘s face slowly turned pale.

No matter how well she hid her emotions, her discreet grief and sadness still leaked out from the
depths of her eyes.

“But I don‘t think he will die,” Catherine said something that even she could not believe. “He‘s so
strong. He will not die in a . foreign country for no reason. He loves you so much, so he won‘t leave you
alone. Adina, you must believe that Duke is still alive.”

If Adina believed this, she would be able to stay in Sea City and continue staying by Earl‘s side.

When Adina was about to speak, her phone vibrated.

The mission that she sent out was taken up by someone, and her mailbox received the information
sent by them.

[… This person was seen in Hestia Border about twenty days ago. It was at the time when the internal
conflict occurred in Black Party…]

Adina pursed her lips.

It looked like Catherine was not lying. She also did not have the need to lie.

It seemed that she had to go there herself to see if Duke was alive or dead.

She looked up and indifferently said, “You‘ve revealed some heavy secrets to me. It‘s really not suitable
for you to continue staying in Sea City. You‘d better go abroad and hide for a few days.”



Catherine‘s expression changed. “Are you abandoning me after you‘ve got what you wanted?”

“If I suddenly allow you to stay in Sea City, wouldn‘t Earl be suspicious?” Adina pursed her lips. “If you
want to stay, just stay. If anything happens later, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Catherine snorted coldly. “As long as you don‘t ask to send me away, Earl would not be so heartless.”

Adina took a look at her before she turned around, walked to the door, and pulled it open.

Earl was smoking. When he saw her coming out, he threw the cigarette butt to the floor and stepped on
it to put it out by reflex.

“My discussion has failed. Miss Catherine is still unwilling to leave,” Adina indifferently said, “But she
promises that she will not trouble my kids. Why don‘t we give her another chance?”

Earl looked at Catherine in an unfriendly manner.

Catherine immediately said, “Earl, I really won‘t bother Ms. Daugherty anymore. If I make another
mistake, I‘ll immediately pack up and leave Sea City before you say anything.”

“This is the last chance. Don‘t challenge my bottom line.” Earl coldly glanced at Catherine before he
looked down at the woman beside him. “You haven‘t eaten, right? Let‘s find a restaurant and eat
something.”

Adina walked while she said, “The kids are still waiting at home for me to cook. Send me back, first.”
