My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 611

Chapter 611

Adina raised her head slightly and looked up.

She could see the unreadable emotions hovering in Earl's dark eyes.

It seemed that this trick was somewhat working.

She could bring out the host personality in him if she persisted.

"Duke, get on with what you are doing. I'm accompanying the kids back home. I hope you'll be home early tonight."

Adina carried the thermos box and stepped out of the office.

As soon as she went out, Earl lit a cigarette.

Amid the smoke, his expression darkened, and he grew visibly furious.

His brows were furrowed as he paused. He had not touched a woman in almost a month since he became Earl.

Adina must have somehow tempted him and brought out long repressed desires, since he had been abstinent for so long.

He raised his hand and was about to ask the assistant outside to arrange a woman for him.

This was his newly arranged assistant, who was also his henchman.

Jake Wilson, the previous assistant, had already been transferred to the regional corporate by him earlier.

"Mr. Winters!"

Before Earl called him in the black-clad assistant rushed in.

"Something's wrong!"

Earl stubbed out his cigarette and instructed him to close the office door. Then he said coldly, "What happened? Speak slowly."

"Didn't Auguste die more than half a month ago?" The black clad assistant lowered his voice and said, "That day, Black Party changed its leader. He previously served as Auguste's primary striker. That striker was assassinated early this morning as a result, and the leader of the Black Party has now changed again."

Earl sneered. "They are just some noisy rabble. The chaos is estimated to be persisted after Auguste's death for at least a few more years."

"The new leader officially took over Black Party at eight o'clock this morning, and his first order directive was to forbid Black Party from engaging in underground trading," the assistant said with a glum expression. "All of our transactions are done in the gray area. I'm worried that we will lose our livelihood if the Black Party outlaws underground trading."

"That's interesting." Earl lit another cigarette. "They rely on illegal business dealings to generate enormous profits. What will the Black Party do to feed its people after outlawing underground trading? The newly appointed leader of the party has set himself against the entire Black Party. Just wait. This new leader is going to be slain by his people in less than three days."

"Then how about our business? Should we put it aside first?"

"Just put a stop to it." Earl said lightly, "I don't need to continue to sink in the darkness anymore. You ask our guys to return and prepare for formal work."

The assistance found it unbelievable. "These guys are uneducated people. They won't be wanted by any employers."

"Ask them to come to Winters Corporation," Earl responded after spitting out a mouthful of smoke rings. "They could work as my assistants, security personnel, or even as subordinate managers."

The important positions in Winters Corporation were all held by Duke's close associates, so he had to gradually replace all of them with his people.

He could only return to himself until he was completely stable in this position.

Adina had just arrived at the Winters family's mansion. She noticed a broadcast of international news in the living room.

"The gray area has been embroiled in a chaotic civil war for the past twenty years, with neighboring countries suffering from it, yet too afraid to declare it an enemy. Here, evil thrives, and every day, all kinds of horrible things happen that you would not expect to see. Several parties here have been fighting for power and strife with one another for months. The most notorious leader of the party has changed three times in a row."

"This morning, the new leader took over the role without much

incident, but he issued a high-profile ban on all illegal transactions in the region. This is undoubtedly a good thing for world peace and security, and perhaps, under the new leader's guidance, the label of the previous sinful region will be erased."

The news highlighted the human geography of that area, as well as the momentous occasion of the new leader's inauguration.

A man in all black stood on a high platform. His shadow flashed across in front of Adina's eyes.

Her eyes abruptly sharpened. Why did this person look so familiar?
