When Adina walked out to the entrance, she saw a black car parked at the exit, keeping a low profile.
She smiled faintly and walked over. Before she reached the car, Duke got out of the driver‘s seat and
helped her open the passenger side door.
The man bent down and carefully fastened her seat belt for her before he said in a deep voice, “Why
did you drink wine?”
“I just took a few sips,” Adina said casually. “When did you get here?”
Duke returned to the driver seat, held the steering wheel, and said, “I just arrived.”
He drove the car slowly on the road, and his low, deep voice rang out in the car.
‘I should‘ve attended the reunion banquet with you today.” Adina was stunned but immediately
understood it. She guessed that the incident at the banquet tonight had ended up on the news. Sophia
had mocked her, the reporters had hounded her, and people at the banquet had criticized her. The
netizens were probably discussing all those incidents. Duke must have specifically browsed through
news articles that were related to her.
She held his hand, smiled faintly, and said, “If you had shown up with me, the netizens would be saying
that the Winters couple is disfigured, and the reason behind is shocking! The netizens are incredibly
nosy. Perhaps they would come up with a lame love story.”
Duke chuckled.
He had undergone facial reconstruction surgery yesterday, and his face was still wrapped in gauze, so
he could not appear in the spotlight.
Nevertheless, he was more reluctant to let Addy face all the gossip alone.
“We‘re so close, and we’re not getting a divorce. Why should we care about what those people say?”
Adina turned to him with a smile and asked, “You went to the company today, right? How‘s the
situation? Have you taken care of those hidden dangers that Earl left behind?”
Duke‘s expression became serious. “He ran more than one illegal biotechnology company, and he also
has some branches in Hestia Border, but his fingerprint is required for me to issue orders. Once his
fingerprints are sent to me, I‘ll deal with them.”
Those companies were cradles of sin. All the chips that had been developed needed to be destroyed to
reduce crime.
Adina knew about the existence of the biological companies too. Earl had even personally invited her
for a collaboration in that sector a few months ago, but she turned him down.
The rate of return of this industry was more than 1000%. She was not interested, but there were more
people who would rush to do it. It had been established long ago, so it was not an easy task to destroy
it.
Besides, it was easy to offend someone or even be subjected to devastating retaliation.
However, her man was not afraid. He had a sense of justice. Even when he lost his memory, he still
retained a sense of kindness.
Even though he was influenced by sinful people in the land of sin, he still always followed his heart,
Adina‘s eyes shone, and Duke felt very uncomfortable as she gazed at him. He swallowed hard.
If he had not been driving, he would have taken her instantly
He continued the conversation as if he did not notice anything. “I‘ve arranged for a few people to send
Catherine to Hestia Border. Once they‘re there, they‘ll get Earl‘s fingerprints without a problem, and
everything will be quickly resolved.” Adina could feel the hidden emotion in his voice deeply.
