Chapter 896

Daniel‘s gaze was filled with anger.

‘Even a blind man can tell that Aunt Zhenny is the one behind this.

‘I truly don‘t understand why she must cause me trouble all the time. ‘

Previously, she provoked Mr. Tissot and Mr. Wilson. Then, she poached the project manager. Now, she
has bribed these people to come and force us to shut down the project.

“The petrochemical project clearly has an eighty percent chance of success. Why does Aunt Zhenny
still try to sabotage us?‘ He clenched his fists and turned, wanting to leave.

As soon as he took a step, he saw Adina and Duke emerge from the waiting area. His eyes widened in
shock.

“Adina, why are you here?” She smiled.

?

“If I hadn‘t come here, I wouldn‘t have known someone would go to such lengths to sabotage our
project.‘ She shifted her gaze to the paunchy man. He could not help but turn his head to avoid her
sharp gaze guiltily.

However, when he turned to look in another direction, he noticed another person was staring at him
with a sharp gaze too. Duke could not help but smirk.

“Nice to see you again, Mr. Juan.”

?


The paunchy man, Rocco Juan, is the minister of Housing and Urban–Rural Development and has
been working around major construction sites for a long time. He used to work with Duke.

When Rocco saw Duke, he felt as if he had just seen the shadow of death.

The scar on Duke‘s face has gradually recovered. He looked intimidating and domineering when he
raised his eyebrow. It was like an eagle who had revealed its sharp claws.

“M–Mr. Winters.” Rocco shuddered. “It‘s so nice to see you here.”

He walked over to Duke and shook his hand.

Duke looked at him coldly. “I heard that there‘s a problem with the project, and that it needs to shut
down. May I know what‘s the problem, specifically?”

Rocco‘s forehead was drenched in a cold sweat. “Hehe, Mr. Winters, I didn‘t know that you would care
about such trivial matters.”

“Why don‘t I call the reporters?” Duke smiled.

“Mr. Juan, whatever that you need to say, you can say it publicly. This will avoid people saying that
some other forces have put you up to this.”

Rocco‘s face turned pale.

“The Winters family is the most powerful family in Sea City. The Juan family is as insignificant as an ant
when we‘re facing the Winters family. ‘If Duke were to really call the reporters, they‘ll ruin me...’

“M–Mr. Winters...” Rocco forced a smile and said, “We can always talk in private. There‘s no need to
make a huge deal out of it.”

“This matter involves my wife. You‘re right. We can talk this through privately.”



Duke nodded calmly. Rocco‘s body stiffened.

‘Wife?! ‘Duke‘s wife!!

‘I thought they were divorced! ‘Zhenny told me that Adina and Duke are divorced, so no one will back
her up. That‘s why I dared to ask them to shut down the project!

‘But now... He had started sweating profusely. Now he understood why Duke had come to the
construction site.

He hurriedly said, “Mr. Winters, this is just a misunderstanding. I‘m just joking around. Hehehe. Mr.
Tissot, Mr. Wilson, there‘s no problem with this project. You can continue with it. If you have any
problem, don‘t hesitate to give me a call!”

Rocco‘s attitude instantly changed.

Graham and Matthew were stunned.

They knew that the Winters Corporation was very powerful, and it was extremely beneficial for anyone
who brings up the corporation. However, they did not know that it had this much power.

Adina smiled.

“Thank you, Mr. Juan, for being accommodating. I‘ll definitely invite you to the dinner party after the
project is completed.” Rocco continued to force a smile on his face as he left with the crowd of wealthy
men.
