“What? Aren‘t you aware of it?”
Jasmine pretended to be very shocked to hear his answer.
The Winters family had kept the incident well–
hidden and news reports had not revealed anything about Adina‘s disappearance.
If Jasmine had not coincidentally overheard Mabel talking with a private detective, she would not have
known that the Mdm. Winters had gone missing.
Besides, not only had Adina vanished, but her four children had also gone missing.
Mabel had been looking
for them with the help of a private detective. Still, they had not found any clues.
Jasmine was calling Flint to inform him that the woman he had his eyes on had run off with another ma
n immediately after she got married.
“Mrs. Winters is looking for Adina in private. Unfortunately, she‘s clueless about her whereabouts,” Jas
mine said regretfully. “I‘m aware of your close relationship with her so I thought you ran off with her.”
“Jasmine, whether Adina has run off with another man or not, it has nothing to do with you!” Flint snorte
d. “Mr. Winters hasn‘t even called me. Why do you have to butt
in their affairs?”
“Hah! Duke has been absent from Winters Corporation for a week. He‘ll approach you sooner or later,”
Jasmine sneered. “Flint, a word
of advice. Leave Adina while you can. She‘s a jinx. If you offend Duke, Morton Corporation will be affect
ed. This is a friendly reminder. Do appreciate it, and take my words seriously—”.
Before Jasmine could finish speaking, Flint hung up.
A bone–chilling coldness filled his eyes.
Earl had been absent from work for a week. Perhaps he had come to Hestia Border.
If Earl discovered Adina‘s whereabouts, he would use his identity as the children‘s father and force her
to return to Sea City. Flint had to find someone to provide misleading information to Earl…
Adina soon finished preparing dinner. They sat around the table and ate the food. The television placed
in the living room was on, and it was broadcasting the news. “Adina, your dishes
are scrumptious. No wonder Cairnstan is known as Food Heaven. I‘ve gained five kilograms even thou
gh I’ve only stayed here for two day
Karl jabbered while he ate his food.
While Karl was prattling away, Adina heard a series of explosions from the television, and the news rep
ort instantly caught her attention. “There was strife in the southeast of Hestia
Border at four o‘clock in the afternoon today. Dozens of members from the Rebellious Party created a c
ommotion and injured
many civilians… Terry North led his special forces and arrived on the scene in time to stop the war. Ho
wever, the Rebellious Party brought along explosives. As a result, Terry who
charged to the front was wounded by the shrapnel. We‘ll learn more about his injury in the following int
erview…”
Adina put down her fork and spoon.
Melody‘s eyes welled up with tears. “Daddy‘s wounded…” “He‘s not your daddy!”
Flint said with a frown. “Before we find out his true identity, he‘s a dangerous man.” Harold blinked
his eyes. “Can we visit him? We‘ll find out if he‘s truly our daddy if we visit him.”
“Stay at home. I‘ll go.” Adina rose. She removed her apron and went to the door.
Flint raised his hand and stopped her. “It‘s very late now. It‘s dangerous for you to go out at this time. On
Adina looked outside the window.
The cables had been destroyed due to the explosion . As such, the street
lights had broken down. It was pitch black outside.
Indeed, it was unwise to go to Hestia Border at this moment.
Adina suppressed her concern. She
sat down and continued to eat her food while she paid close attention to the news report on television.
The signal was not clear, and the television screen turned black after a few minutes.
The place where they stayed was far from modem civilization. There was no social order. It was filled wi
