Earl took a glance at Adina‘s back.
‘Ever since I was born, I have remained in the shadows. The one thing that I yearned the most is light.
‘I want to be the chairman of Winters Corporation, not its shares or assets…
‘If I‘m able to make her trust me more just by transferring some shares, it will be a good deal…‘
“If you were to be compliant and play your part as Mdm. Winters, you would profit from it as well.” Earl
smiled and said coldly, “I‘ll have my assistant transfer the shares to your name. Are you happy now?”
Adina clenched her fist and slowly relaxed. She pursed her lips and said, “This has nothing to do with
my happiness. I only did this for you to have a clear conscience. You must give what you owe Duke to
the children as compensation.”
After she finished speaking, she turned and headed straight to the washroom indifferently.
Earl‘s gaze turned cold again.
‘So, she‘s not doing it for the children, but does not want Duke to lose out?
‘Hmph! Why is she still concerned about a dead man?‘
He kicked the dresser, swung his hand, and stomped off the bedroom.
Adina looked at her reflection in the mirror. In just a matter of days, her beauty was gone, her eyes
were bloodshot, the dark circles around her eyes had worsened, and her hair was in a mess.
It turns out, mental devastation is just as devastating to a person.
‘If it weren‘t for my children, I wouldn‘t still be standing here …
‘I must slowly and gradually lower Earl‘s guard. But not too slow, though. Duke might not be able to
wait that long…
‘And Catherine too…
‘To know where Duke is, I must start with her.‘
It was another sleepless night.
She only reluctantly drifted off to sleep at five or six in the morning. When she woke up, it was already
ten o‘clock.
She went to the washroom and put on heavy makeup to cover her haggard face. She opened the door
and headed downstairs.
Mabel was in the living room. She raised her head and looked at Adina with a complicated gaze as she
watched her come downstairs. She said in a hoarse voice, “Addy, come here.”
Adina paused for a moment before continuing to go downstairs. She asked calmly, “What‘s the matter,
Mrs. Winters?”
Mabel‘s fingers stiffened.
‘She used to call me “Mother” affectionately, but now she calls me Mrs. Winters in such an unfamiliar
manner…
‘It‘s obvious what she‘s trying to show me.’
“Addy, have you really decided to divorce Earl?” Mabel‘s lips quivered. “Is there no chance of changing
your mind on this matter?”
Adina frowned. “Who told you that we‘re getting a divorce?”
Mabel tapped the news on her phone and showed it to her.
Today‘s headline in the Sea City news was the transfer of Winters Corporation‘s stock, with more than
ten percent of the shares being transferred to Adina‘s name, sparking huge speculation.
