How did her life come to such a point, where she was uncertain whether one son was alive or dead,
and the remaining son hated her...? Between choking sobs, she said"Let Catherine go then...What she
did to you before was because Earl compelled her to do it.She’s innocent.."
"Mrs.Winters, you should take care of yourself first,"
Adina said coolly"You will have your freedom once Earl faces justice.."
Mabel hung her head, and her eyes were red-rimmed.
The four children were at a loss.
They understood the problem, but this was not something they could stick their noses into.
At that moment, Mr.Brown came in with a report.
"Sir, your assistant has arrived.."
Duke narrowed his eyes.He had investigated Winters Corporation.His previous assistant was Jake
Wilson, but when Earl took his place, the CEO's assistant was switched out with a hooligan named
Arden Wyatt.
His return to Sea City was not publicized, yet Arden managed to find him the day after he returned
home.
It was very likely that Arden had a spy placed near the Winters family’s mansion.
Duke coolly said"Let him in.."
Adina called the four children"Come on, let’s go watch TV in the living room.."
Mabel sighed.Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
Arden followed Mr.Brown from the courtyard to the dining room.
He immediately spotted the man sitting inside with his back turned to him.
‘I haven’t seen the boss for half a month, but why does it feel like he has become even more aloof than
before?’ He walked a few paces closer and whispered"Boss, I couldn’t contact you over the past few
days.Something has happened in the company.."
"What is it?"
Three emotionless words hit his face.
Arden found it strange, but he did not think too much about it.
"It hasn’t been half a month since our previous company resumed operations, but people are fighting
over each other to buy it.They're offering a high price for it, too.Do you want to sell it?"
Duke tapped his finger on the table as he casually said"The underground Bio-intelligent Chip
Technology Company, is it?"
"This is an especially lucrative area in the black market.One company has even successfully developed
a chip that could control a person’s neurons.As soon as it hit the black market, it was all bought up.The
tycoons who are trying to buy our company want to use our company to develop a chip that’s even
more advanced.Once successful, the profits could multiply by at least a thousand times...." Arden said
all this in a low voice.
Suddenly, he felt someone’s sharp gaze on him.He whipped his head up and saw that the man had
turned his head around.He watched him without any warmth in his eyes.
"B-Boss?"
Arden had a fright, and he felt fear coursing through his veins.He asked in shock"How did you get that
scar on your face, Boss? Weren't you all fine before?"
‘How did his face get ruined in half a month?’
"Who did this? I'll bring someone over to kill them and their dogs!"
Arden gave an angry shout, and the dread from before disappeared in an instant.
Duke’s eyes were cold.
It was no wonder Earl was able to pretend he was the CEO of Winters Corporation for so long,
because no one could tell the difference from the start.
The only people who could tell them apart were the people they loved and their mother.
No one else could differentiate them.He twitched his fingers coolly and, in a low voice, said"Burn down
the laboratory.."
Arden was stunned for a moment, and he said in puzzlement
"Why? Boss, if you don’t want to run the company, you can just sell it.The quoted price is really high.."
"If I say burn it, then burn it.What? Are you trying to tell me what todo?"
Duke’s cold eyes swept over him, and Arden was startled.He hurriedly lowered his head.
"Yes, I'll get it done.."
He had arrived fast, but he left even faster.He left in such a hurry, as though someone was pursuing
him from behind.
