Chapter 916

Harold finally registered what he had done. He straightened up obediently, lowered his head, and said,
“I‘m sorry, Mommy. I didn‘t do it on purpose, and I‘ll never do it again.” Adina pursed her crimson lips.

Why did she suddenly get angry just now? She was usually not the kind of person who enjoys getting
angry.

Moreover, the toe that got stepped on had stopped hurting. She crouched down and gently said, “It‘s
okay, Hal. Mommy was just kidding with you just now.”

Harold did not dare to relax at all. His mommy just now did not seem like she was kidding at all.

He cautiously said, “Mommy, I haven‘t finished my homework for the winter holiday. I‘ll go do that first.”

“Go ahead.”

Adina patted his head.

George and Alden exchanged looks, then the two of them each took Melody by the hand and walked
back to their room.

When they reached the door, George said in a low voice, “Al, why do I feel like Mommy‘s still acting
strange?”

“Don‘t think about it too much,” Alden said through pursed lips, “Earl‘s people are all under Daddy‘s
control. In three days, the remote controls will all be destroyed, and then Mommy will truly be free.”

In fact, it did not take three days. In two and a half days‘ time, Duke had seized over a hundred of the
remote controls.

He destroyed them all in front of Adina and threw them into the trash can. Once all the remote controls
were rendered useless, the weight on Adina‘s mind finally fell off.

She leaned into Duke’s arms, and softly said, “I don‘t have to worry about anyone issuing me any
orders from now on, right?”

“It won‘t happen again.” Duke stroked her hair.

“Arden‘s wife and kid are in my hands, he wouldn‘t dare hide anything.”

Adina found a comfortable position and burrowed herself into his chest. This decent man, for her sake,
did not hesitate to use dirty means and dragged an innocent woman and boy into this mess. But this
did not make her think he was despicable at all.

For her sake, time and again, his boundaries had been pushed and his principles discarded.

Being married to him was her one greatest fortune in her life.

When the bio–chip issue had been resolved, Adina was finally able to go to work by herself. During this
period, LaStar Technology Corporation‘s portfolio was being managed by Duke. He made all the major
decisions, while Serene handled the minor ones. Half a month‘s worth of documents were piled up on
her desk. Adina spent the whole morning looking through project files that had yet to be archived.

It had to be said that Duke was very proficient when it came to managing a company. Many of the more
complicated and troublesome cases were handled quite easily thanks to his methods.



After she had gone through more than a dozen of the project files, she felt that her business
management abilities had risen to a new level.
