He also felt sad all of a sudden, even though he did not know where this sadness came from.
He fell into contemplative silence before he calmly said,” It‘s not difficult to find someone in Hestia
Border, but this will stir up fear among other forces. I need a few days to consider this.” His reaction
was expected, so Adina smiled faintly.“ Okay, I‘ll await your reply with peace of mind.”
She nodded at the man, then turned around and walked outside calmly.
She pulled open the meeting room door, and just as she took one step out, a beautifully–dressed
woman blocked her path.
Isabelle‘s emerald green eyes were full of anger. “You‘re already married, yet you‘re still seducing my
fiance. Are Cairnstanian women really that shameless?” she mocked in a low voice.
“Ms. Isabelle, please mind your language,” Adina said coldly. “Mr. Terry North and I were talking about
a business collaboration . Please don’t speculate about us with your dirty thoughts.” “If you were talking
about collaborating, why did you
lock the door?” Isabelle‘s voice was a little hoarse from anger. “I‘m warning you. Stay away from my
fiance, or I‘ll find someone to cut your face.”
Adina chuckled. “He locked the door because he‘s guarded against you. Ms. Isabelle , why don’t you
reflect on why your fiance is so cautious of you?”
Isabelle was furious.
Adina looked at her sideways before she walked up to Flint and nonchalantly said, “He says he needs
to think about it for a few days. Let‘s get out of here first.” Flint glanced at her for a while before he
sighed in relief and said, “Okay, let‘s go home.” On the way, Flint hesitated to speak, but he finally said
something when they arrived home. “Addy, did Terry North make any strange requests?”. “What are
you thinking about?” Adina smiled leisurely and answered, “He just doesn‘t have faith in my ability, so
he needs a few days to consider it. Don‘t overthink it.” The two of them then walked side by side toward
the mansion. When they were about to open the door, it was pulled open from the inside.
George and Alden stood fully dressed at the door. “Mommy, you‘re back just in time!” Harold took the
opportunity to complain. “Georgie and Al won‘t bring me and Mel along on their trip. I‘m really angry.”
“It‘s almost time for dinner. Where are you going?” Adina asked in surprise. Melody blinked and replied,
“Georgie and Al said they‘re going to meet a friend.” “You‘ve made friends so quickly!” Flint did not
expect that at all. “How come I never knew your socializing skills were so strong?” “It‘s an online
friend,” Harold added. “Georgie got to know him online. What‘s his name again?”
Alden covered Harold‘s mouth.
If his mom discovered that he was going to meet Terry North, she would not allow him to step out of the
mansion.
His reaction made Adina more suspicious, though.
She squatted down and gently asked, “Georgie, Al, tell me who you‘re going to meet.”
George pursed his lips and confessed, “It‘s a friend whom Alden and I met online. He found out that
we‘re here in Hestia Border, so he invited us to dinner.”
“You‘re just kids. No matter how smart you are, you can easily be deceived,” Flint said nonchalantly.
“The last thing you should see now is an online friend. Nobody knows if they‘re good or bad people.
What if they kidnap and sell you?”
Adina seriously said, “This area isn‘t safe. Last night, someone was robbed right in front of our house.
It‘s too dangerous for the two of you to go out. I can accompany you to meet your friend.”
Alden stroked his nose. If their mom accompanied them, he would not be able to talk.
He had done a lot of things behind her back, so he could not let her become privy to this knowledge.
“Ah! I remember!” Harold said out loud. “Georgie and Al‘s friend is Terry North!”
