My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 908

Chapter 908 Mabel sighed quietly, then she turned around and went upstairs. Adina stuffed her hands into her pockets and slowly ascended the stairs. When the bedroom door was pushed open, Adina caught the thick smell of cigarette smoke. Earl was a smoker. Back when she was dealing with Earl every day, she ended up inhaling his secondhand smoke. She waited for the smoke to disperse before she slowly stepped inside. "You can leave."

Earl's gaze was on Mabel's face when he spat out those three words emotionlessly.

Mabel choked back everything she wanted to say. She did not dare face this son of hers, so she slowly walked out of the room and shut the door.

Adina stood near the door. In a cold voice, she said, "What did you call me here for?" Earl's gaze landed on her hands. He casually said, "Show me your hands." Adina obeyed and took her hands out of her pockets.

"Take off your jacket and toss it at the door," Earl commanded coldly.

Adina did not refuse. She took off the jacket and tossed it onto the floor, and the jacket made a clinking sound as it landed.

"Heh, you even kept a knife in your pocket. Adina, don't you have any other tricks up your sleeves?"

Not wanting to be outdone, Adina sneered. "Against you, a knife is enough."

Earl rifled around in his own pocket and procured a black remote control. "Do you know what will happen if I press this red button?"

Adina pursed her lips and did not say anything. "I've planted a bomb in this mansion. All I have to do is press this button, and this house will be blown up to high heaven." Earl made an exaggerated gesture. "The four children on the second floor would also be blown to bits. Do you think they're going to die from the blast or die because the medics can't save them?"

"You're crazy!"

Adina forced these words out through her teeth, and her eyes were filled with a deep hatred.

"I don't want to resort to such an outrageous thing, either. But, Adina, you have been so naughty." Earl came over and lifted her chin with the remote control. "If you come with me willingly, then I will destroy this remote control. If you resist me, then don't blame me for dragging your children down the grave with me.” Adina did her best to restrain her emotions, but her fingers were shaking uncontrollably.

Even if she left with Earl, her life would never be as peaceful as before...

Moreover, she could never abandon her children and just leave... "Alright. I'll go with you." Adina forced herself to speak. "As soon as you get rid of the remote control, I'll leave with you at once." Earl toved with the remote control and chuckled. "I'm also not that cruel as to insist on having a mother separated from her children. How about this: we take Mel with us. Those three other brats look too much like Duke, might end up choking them. So, I'll allow you to take Mel with you. How's that? Am I not generous?" Adina said through clenched teeth, "Then we'll leave by ourselves, just the two of us." "Is that so?" Earl stared at her. "Why do I feel like you're up to something?" "What else can I pull?" Adina hissed. "My body and mind are under your control. My children's lives are in your hands. If I try anything, it would mean death. Would I risk my children's lives? Didn't you want to leave, Earl? Then what are you dawdling around for? Let's

go, now!"

Earl grabbed her by the shoulders. He raised his voice as he coldly said, "Bring Melody here." Mabel had been standing outside the door. She could hear the sounds of conversation inside, but she could not make out what exactly was being said. She had been waiting for the quarrel inside to die down before she rushed inside. To think that she would hear the command for her to bring Melody here... Earl was her own flesh and blood. She knew of his means and motives better than anyone.

If she did not bring Melody here, then Earl would do it himself. Melody would never be able to withstand this terror...
