Chapter 888

Adina entered her study with her phone in her hand and switched on her laptop. Even though the news
about Jones Corporation had been suppressed, there were still many people spreading rumors online.

A number of posts were gaining public attention. Zhenny ordered the workers to work overtime
throughout the night in order to boost the revenue figures. They were made to work almost sixteen
hours a day. Many workers fainted on the job. Some nearly died from the shock and were being
monitored in ICUS.

Adina skimmed through the news.

“Daniel, we have two shifts at the site. Each shift is supposed to be eight hours of work. You have to
pay attention to that, alright?”

Daniel had made note of everything she said.

Adina looked grim after the phone call. Based on Zhenny‘s manner of doing things, the petrochemical
project was quite likely to deliver significant benefits in the span of a month.

The resort project went off without a hitch, but they were a little late while starting off. They could only
go neck to neck with their opponent, and it was difficult to outrun them.

The evaluation period was halfway through and would be over in almost ten days. While Adina was
deep in thought, she suddenly felt a cold win sweep through the window.

The floor–to–ceiling windows in the master bedroom were already fixed, but the place had been
converted to a balcony with a sliding door. The window near the door was always kept closed.

?


When she looked up, she noticed that the sliding door had been pushed open and a dark silhouette
appeared on the window.

Adina‘s eyes widened, and she leapt to her feet. She tried running away.

“Stand there,” A cold voice ordered.

Adina‘s whole body froze. She wanted to move her legs, but her brain ordered her to stay still.

She stood stiff and unmoving, a few steps away from the door.

The dark silhouette approached her slowly.

“Surprise, Adina! You didn‘t expect me to come here, did you?”

Adina looked him in the eyes.

“You‘re in Sea City, Earl. This is Duke‘s territory. Don‘t you dare touch me.”

The dark silhouette was indeed Earl Winters. He was dressed in a dark cloak that masked his body,
and a black cap that covered most of his cold face.

Only his sharp, thin lips were visible. It radiated cynicism and cruelty.
