Semua Bab Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children: Bab 881 - Bab 890

As soon as Duke reached home, a package was delivered. Duke glanced at the address of the sender and signed the package. Then, he entered the mansion with Adina in his arms.Adina watched him open the package, revealing a small box. He opened the box. There was a golden-black earring inside.Duke disassembled the earring and found the complicated transistor routing. “Duke, give me an hour,” said Adina. I’ll try and see what it is.”Duke nodded. He knew that Adina was good at hacking, so she would definitely crack this thing and find out what it was for.Adina took the earring into the study and connected it to the computer. Her frown got deeper, the more she studied it. This thing was a bit beyond her skill.An hour later, Adina came out of the study with a solemn face. Duke stopped his work and turned to look at her. “How is it? Did you find anything out?”“This is a communicator, and it only has a program for issuing orders. It doesn’t have the original program of the chi

George glanced at the computer screen. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He was appalled.“Al, maybe you are overthinking?”“I genuinely hope so,” said Alden. “But I think something is indeed wrong with Mommy.”George looked at him in disbelief. He turned around, took out his notebook, and tapped on the keyboard to search for more information. “The ones implanted with biochips are forced to accept programmed instructions,” read George. “They will unconditionally complete the instructions like an emotionless robot.”“They will do anything to complete the order. According to a survey, 30% of the victims killed their wives to complete the order given to them.”“The official rescued dozens of victims who had been implanted with chips. After the chips were destroyed, the victims were still found to suffer from long-term side-effects.”George raised his head. “Al, this is impossible!”Alden said in a faint voice, “We’ll find Mommy tomorrow.”George hesitated for a moment. H

“Your mom has a meeting later this evening. She’s too busy to accompany you.”Duke’s voice was stern, inviting no arguments.George had grown up under Duke’s strict authority, therefore he had no intention to rebel.But Alden glanced up in determination. “I just want to eat with mommy. After dinner, George and I will go home right away.”Duke frowned and was ready to protest but Adina interrupted. “Just let them stay for dinner.”She smiled and led the two kids into the house. “You two can play in the living room while I go make dinner.”She put on an apron and walked to the kitchen. The fridge was stocked with food she had bought while Duke was sleeping. It had everything she needed.While she was busy cooking, Duke talked to the kids in the living room. “Why are only two of you here? Where are Harold and Mel?”“They don’t know that we’re here,” George replied obediently. “It’s fine to come over, but why hide in the bushes?” Duke asked calmly, his gaze fixed on Alden. Du

Adina entered her study with her phone in her hand and switched on her laptop.Even though the news about Jones Corporation had been suppressed, there were still many people spreading rumors online. A number of posts were gaining public attention.Zhenny ordered the workers to work overtime throughout the night in order to boost the revenue figures. They were made to work almost sixteen hours a day. Many workers fainted on the job. Some nearly died from the shock and were being monitored in ICUs.Adina skimmed through the news. “Daniel, we have two shifts at the site. Each shift is supposed to be eight hours of work. You have to pay attention to that, alright?”Daniel had made note of everything she said. Adina looked grim after the phone call. Based on Zhenny’s manner of doing things, the petrochemical project was quite likely to deliver significant benefits in the span of a month.The resort project went off without a hitch, but they were a little late while starting off. They

Thoughts ran in Adina’s mind. She forced out a smile and walked to the kitchen with Duke.“Duke, how’s Earl these days?” she asked as she washed the tomatoes.Duke was cutting vegetables. “He’s locked up in the basement. He is being truthful without making too many demands.”Earl used to make strange requests during the first few days of his confinement. He always tried to escape but was caught every time.Now, he just answered Duke honestly when interrogated. Perhaps he had accepted the fact that he could not escape.Adina’s hands stopped. Duke seemed to be unaware that Earl had escaped.She looked down. “Duke, I want to speak to Earl.”Duke stopped what he was doing and looked at her. “Addy, Earl is not easy to deal with. He’s not going to tell you anything.”Earl refused to disclose anything regarding the chip database, no matter how hard he forced and coaxed him. Besides, he didn’t want Addy contacting Earl.“What are you worried about, honey?” Adina wiped her hands clean.
