Chapter 768

Duke felt his mind going blank after he drank the champagne.

Before he could contemplate what had happened to him, his vision blacked out and he slumped
forward on the dining table.

The clock struck eleven when Adina finished reading bedtime stories to her children.

The children gradually fell asleep, but she could not even sleep a wink.

‘‘Duke should have been here by now.Even if he was held up by something important, he would have
called…’"

She wanted to call him, but she was afraid that she might disturb him if he was caught up in something
important.She suppressed her urge to call him.

"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding." Flint tried to comfort her.

"Black Party has been demolished.Many people are fleeing, and it’s not easy to catch them all.Isabella
is on the run.She will definitely try to make a comeback.

Maybe he is just trying to settle things first..."

" I know." Adina smiled.

"I’ll get some rest. You should sleep too."

She yawned and went upstairs to her room.



When she came out of the bathroom after a shower, she heard her phone vibrate.She rushed to her
phone thinking it must be Duke but when she saw the called Id, her face darkened.It was Earl.She
ended the call.

Earl called again.She didn’t pick up.

He sent her a long text: [Adina Daugherty, do you really think if you hit on Terry North, you’ll be able to
defeat me? Listen, Black Party is over, and Terry is a nobody now.I can defeat him easily.Once I’m
healed, ]

[ I come to you in person and take back what you owe me.] He sent another long paragraph about how
angry he was and how he won't take this sitting down.

Adina deleted the message.

‘Even if Duke isn’t Terry, I will never stoop this low to go against Earl. I shouldn’t take this matter to
heart"

The morning sun rose and illuminated the sky.

It was a brand-new day.

Adina rubbed her eyes and sat up.She glanced at the time.

It was already eight in the morning.

Perhaps the Black Party’s affairs were finally solved because she had fallen asleep and felt
refreshed.She opened the door and headed downstairs.Her children surrounded her.

"Mommy, where's Daddy? Why isn’t he with you?"



"I thought both of you were sleeping in."

"Did Daddy go missing again?" Melody asked with tears in her eyes.

Adina lifted her up.

"Your daddy is still busy.He’ll probably come back later today."

Adina felt her eyes twitch after she said that.She was not a very superstitious person, but the eye twitch
made her feel ominous.She put Melody down, and smiled.

"I’ll give Daddy a call and ask him when he'll be back."
