Adina sighed. She stroked Melody’s hair and rubbed her forehead with her cheek Then,
she looked up at the man who sat at the table in the CEO’s office, and she softly said,” Mr. Winters,
thank you for looking after my daughter.”
Duke played with the pen in his hand, and his gaze was cold. “If I didn’t meet her, your daughter might
have been in the hands of the human trafficker.” “Mr. Winters, why… did my daughter appear in
Winters Corporation?” Adina pursed her lips and slowly asked.
Alden had been very smart since he was little, so she never had to worry about him going out and
taking the bus alone.
In contrast, Melody had been pampered and protected by the family. She never left home alone,
especially because she had difficulty communicating.
Adina really did not understand why Melody would go there.
Duke leaned on the chair and coldly said, “I also want to ask you this. Your daughter is still so small.
Why did she come to Winters Corporation alone?”
He sounded like he was testing her out.
Adina narrowed her eyes. “Mr. Winters, do you think I purposely let her come here to look for
you?”
Duke’s gaze was cold and profound, and he did not speak
“Countless women want to be Mrs. Winters, but I’m sorry, I’m not interested in becoming a stepmother.”
Adina chuckled. “The police have established a case for my missing daughter. They might come to you
for a statement later. I have a reminder for you. When you found the missing child, you should’ve
contacted the police immediately. Otherwise, it’s very easy for people to misunderstand and think that
you kidnapped my daughter!”
Her gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Tas
Duke was speechless. He suddenly sneered. He was so kind to help her daughter, but she still
threatened him. This woman was really ungrateful! He got up and slowly walked toward Adina.
He was more than 1.8 meters tall. When he stood up, he blocked out most of the light from the ceiling.
He emanated a very threatening aura like he was a demon from hell. Adina held Melody in her arms as
she took a step back. The girl in her arms also seemed to feel a little anxious as she held Adina’s neck
tightly. Duke continued moving closer until he cornered her to the wall.
“Adina Daugherty, if this happens again, I’ll throw your daughter out!” He just wanted to let Adina know
his bottom line, Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Melody suddenly turned back and glared at him.
Then, she raised the milk in her hands and poured it on his face. The sticky milk dropped from his hair,
and his face turned extremely pale. He purposely asked his secretary to buy the milk to coax the little
girl, but half of it was poured on his face.
He had lived for more than twenty years, but this was his first time having milk poured on his
face.
Adina was also shocked.
She did not expect Melody to do that to the man. She quickly held Melody tightly, bent down, and
moved to the side. “Mr. Winters, it’s really my daughter’s fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. I’ll treat
you to a meal next time. Please don’t be mad at a kid.” While she spoke, she looked at Duke’s
expression. The man’s expression was getting colder.
It seemed that Melody also realized she had made a huge mistake. She buried her face in Adina’s
chest, and her body trembled.
“Mr. Winters, I still need to go to the police station to dismiss the case. I’ll leave now.”
Adina held Melody and left. Duke raised his hand and wiped his face. His hand was full of milk.
Before Adina came, the little girl had clearly relied on him a lot. She only felt at ease in his company.
He had helped her take a shower, wash her hair for her, put on her clothes, and dried her hair.
But now, the little girl just poured the milk on him. His heart instantly turned cold.
