《Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children》全部章節：第 771 章 - 第 780 章

Duke twiddled his fingers and said casually, “So, Your Majesty, will you still continue to imprison me?”“Oh, do you think a single factory can threaten me?” Mavice said coldly, “Two hours out of twenty-four hours have passed. When the time runs out, you will know what is waiting for you.”“I still have twenty-two hours.” Duke smiled. “Every half an hour, one factory will blow up. There are only eight factories with a value of over $100,000,000 in Hestia Border. That is to say, after another four hours, it’s Yggdra’s turn to suffer. Although Yggdra is a developed country, I don’t think it handle such losses, can’t it?”Mavice glared at him. “Are you threatening me?”“Of course not.” Duke chuckled. “I just want you to get a clearer picture of the situation that you’re currently in.”“Your Majesty, bad news!” A guard outside the secret room hurried over. “The second-largest factory at Hestia Border exploded. All the rare resources were burned up.”Mavice lowered her head and looked

“Whatever. I’m leaving now. Let’s not meet again. We can talk through the Internet if we need to.”Karl took his bag, waved them goodbye, and left.Pete decided to follow Duke to Sea City, since he still could not recall his memories. Even so, he could only go there a day later.Flint stood at the door of the mansion with his hands in his pockets. He acted relaxed as he said, “I have things to take care of here, so I can’t send you back. Be safe.”“Uncle Flint, I’ll miss you.”Melody hugged his neck and gave him a peck on the cheek. It chased away the dejection in Flint’s heart. He said gently, “Didn’t you say that you want me to be your godfather?”Melody looked at Adina and blinked. Adina chuckled. “Duke, I want Flint to officially be our children’s godfather. What do you think?”“I’m fine with it as long as the children are okay with it.” Duke strode over and said in a low and serious voice, “Mr. Morton, thank you for looking after my wife and my children for this period

Right after Adina was dragged into the one-story house, both her hands were tied up. She shifted her body a little, and the bodyguard in black threatened her coldly, “Move one more time, and I’ll chop off your fingers.”With how cold he sounded, Adina knew that he was not lying. If she tried to escape, this man would not hesitate to harm her. She felt a sense of relief to learn that these men were not interested in Melody and had not abducted her as well. Otherwise, she would not be able to stay calm if she were to see her daughter being tortured. The two bodyguards left the house after they tied her up. It was a small house with no windows. It only had a small door. Just as Adina was planning her escape, the door flung open, and a woman dressed in a black robe walked in. Her sinister eyes were the only part uncovered.“Isabelle Adamos?”Adina instantly recognized the woman. Since Adina could recognize her, there was no need for Isabelle to be in disguise anymore. She

Adina held Duke’s trembling hands and said with a smile, “It’s just blood. I’m fine. I’ll be okay after getting a bandage in the hospital.”Duke carried her and headed to the hospital. The doctor washed off the blood on her face and noticed two wounds, one on the left and one on the right. They were about an inch long. Adina noticed how distressed and regretful Duke looked. She said lightheartedly, “You have a scar on your face, and I have two. Neither of us is allowed to dislike the other because of the scars, okay?”Duke hugged her as he stayed silent. ‘I would rather be disliked than have her face disfigured.‘She’s a woman who loves making herself look beautiful. She loves to look at herself in the mirror, and she’s proud of her reflection. How could she accept herself being disfigured?”“Addy, this won’t happen again. Never…”Duke whispered to Adina. Her eyes became teary. ‘I’m actually okay with it. I’ve been pretty my whole life. I don’t mind looking ugly.‘If I

Although Adina did not say it out loud, Duke could already guess why his twin brother could live in his home with such impunity.‘My own mother must’ve played an important role behind this incident. ‘Since she has chosen Earl Winters, I don’t need to treat her as my mother anymore.’“Let me bring you to the hospital to get your wound redressed.”Duke rested his hand on Adina’s waist as they walked out. Adina had a complicated expression. She did not know what to say. There were grudges between mother and son as well as between the siblings.Just as they reached the door, all of a sudden, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.“Welcome back.”Mabel’s feeble voice sounded. Adina and Duke turned to look at her at the same time. Mabel was not wearing any coat. She stood on the stairs and stepped on the carpet barefoot. Mabel was initially calm, but when she saw Duke, who wore a mask, she froze. “Is that you, Duke? You’re alive. Duke, you’re still alive!”Mabel stumbled
