Did Duke even bring other people over?
Wait, the footsteps sounded slightly familiar… It was Alden!
Alden was coming!
The gunshots must have shocked Alden, so he was coming over to check out the situation.
Adina instantly widened her eyes!
If Alden came, it meant Dew would gain another advantage over her again!
She wanted to shout to let Alden leave immediately.
But she was afraid of triggering Dew.
Dew focused on staring at Adina now. She did not notice the footsteps outside.
Adina closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she had already regained her calm. “Dew
Daugherty, don’t you just want to ruin my face? It’s just a face, and I don’t really care about it. Don’t
hurt others over it. Let Duke and George leave this place first!”
She spoke while moving backward, blocking the entrance.
Coincidentally, the footsteps stopped, and Alden appeared at the entrance.
His small figure was shielded by Adina.
Dew did not notice anything strange. She kept smiling crazily, and she said, “Yes, I just want your face.
Only if your face is ruined would I be happy!”
Alden who stood behind Adina did not go away.

He took something in his pocket. This was the present that Harold gave to him yesterday, but he
disliked it, so he just simply kept it in his pocket. He did not expect that it would be useful now.
He bent down and picked up a small rock from the ground before he wrapped the rock in a slingshot.
He drew the slingshot out like a full moon.
His gaze was calm and sharp.
He aimed the slingshot at the person standing in the center of the factory before he immediately let go.
Whoosh!
The rock flew out and ruthlessly hit Dew’s eye.
Dew covered her right eye by reflex.
At this moment, Adina speedily moved forward and kicked the gun that fell on the ground away. Then,
she grabbed Dew’s hands and pressed her down on the ground.
Dew screamed out of her lungs.
“Let go of me! Let go! Adina Daugherty, you bitch! Let go of me! I won’t spare you! I want you to die
miserably!”
Alden slowly walked inside. He tore off a piece of cloth from his shirt before he stuffed it into Dew’s
mouth. “You’re so noisy.”

Meanwhile, the siren of the police cars also came from outside.
The police arrived.
Adina felt totally relieved. “Alden, thank you.”
If Alden had not been here, she would not have survived today.
Alden looked up and stared at her. “Mom, you should’ve told me that George is my brother.”
In that case, he would not have tortured himself for so many days.
“I’m sorry, Alden. I’m sorry…”
Adina could not hold herself, and she held him tightly. Her tears finally could not help but fall down.
She quickly wiped her tears off, stood up, and said, “It’s not the time to talk about this now. Let’s go to
the hospital now!”
The hospital was always full of the pungent smell of disinfectant.
George had a head injury, but he did not need to be admitted to the hospital. After his head was
dressed, he was brought back to the Winters family by Mr. Brown.
Adina was worried about Melody, so she insisted Alden go back to the Winters family together, while
she would stay in the hospital and watch Duke alone.
This man was shot twice. Although his vital organs were not injured, he had lost a lot of blood, so he
needed special attention.
It was only after the surgeon performed a two-hour surgery before they wheeled him into the ward.
Adina sat by the hospital bed. She stared at the man’s exquisite yet pale face blankly, while all sorts of
emotions filled her heart
If he had not held her and pushed her out of the path of bullets, at this time, the two bullets would have
pierced her belly.
There were many organs in the abdomen. Even if she would not die, she would also have been
severely injured. This man had saved her life.
