Chapter 895

Adina‘s body and mind were split into two; one clamored her to push Duke away, and the other
wrapped around him desperately.

Soon, the night was over. The next morning, Adina was exhausted from the moment she woke up.
Duke hugged her and whispered, “Wliat do you want to eat? I‘ll make it for you.”

She stayed in his embrace and said in a hoarse voice, “Did I do anything abnormal last night?” Duke
kissed her on the lips.

“Addy, you‘re amazing. You bypassed the biochip program. I‘m so proud of you.” “Oh, really?” She
smiled. “From now on, let‘s sleep together.”

Duke pursed her lips. ‘Even though Addy won the battle last night, she must‘ve been in extreme pain. I
don‘t want her to go through that the second time.‘

‘Sure, but I don‘t think we should do it again...” He hesitated and then said, “Be good. Don’t seduce me
again, okay?” Adina hugged him back happily. ‘As long as I’m spending the night with Duke, Earl won‘t
sneak around anymore. That‘s all I want.‘

After breakfast, Adina got dressed and went downstairs. “I haven‘t gone out of the house for half a
month. I need to visit the project site.”

‘Daniel is always reporting that everything is going well. I have to go there myself to know what‘s really
going on with the project.‘

Duke nodded. “I‘ll accompany you there.”

He took his key and drove the car out. He then opened the door at the passenger seat‘s side.

When Adina got into the car, he leaned in and helped her put on her seatbelt. The car arrived at the
Resort Project safely. It was not very far from their mansion. It only took less than ten minutes to reach
their destination.

Half a month ago, it was covered with snow and ice. The construction site was suspended. Now, more
than half of the infrastructure on Sea City had been built up, looking spectacular.

Adina and Duke walked into the temporary office. “Where‘s the senior manager?” Anyone in Sea City
would recognize the most beautiful girl in the city. The receptionist greeted Adina politely. “Mr. Tissot
and Mr. Wilson are having a meeting.”

Adina had a feeling that something was not right. She asked calmly, “Where‘s Daniel?” “Mr. Jones went
out to get some things done. He is still not back yet.” Adina went to the waiting area and sat down.

“I’ll wait for them.”

Duke poured her a glass of warm water and sat next to her.

As soon as they sat down, the people who were in the meeting came out.

Several wealthy men came out first, and followed by Graham and Matthew, who were talking with each
other. “We can‘t stop this project. It’ll be a great loss. We have all the necessary permits, and the
government has the approval documents...” “There is no room for negotiation about this.” The paunchy
man said coldly, “You guys have discharged construction waste water into Sea City. This has seriously
affected the surrounding environment. The suspension of work for half a month is a great way to the
Jones Corporation‘s reputation.” Graham wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.



‘Typically, projects would be in great trouble if they were to pause their work for half a month, not to
mention that this project is still in the assessment period. ‘If they were to pause their work for half a
month, everyone would give up on this project. Then, there will be no one to take over it...’

At this moment, Daniel barged in. He was holding a thick stack of documents as he said coldly, “The
water quality of Sea City within one kilometer near the project has been tested, and it meets the
requirements of the Environmental Protection Association. The suspension of work on our project on
these grounds is simply untenable.”

The paunchy man took the stack of documents and tore them into half. He said in a really low voice,
“Let me be frank, your project is actually in the way of someone else‘s project. I‘ve been ordered to
stop your construction for half a month no matter what I do...”
