“Don‘t say what in front of me?”
A cold voice suddenly came out of nowhere behind them.
The few secretaries who were in the pantry were so terrified that their hands shook, and their faces
instantly turned white.
Miss Clark slowly turned back and saw Adina standing against the door frame with a faint smile on her
face.
“Mdm. Winters, n–nothing happened.” Miss Clark hurriedly handed over the coffee to Adina. “Mdm.
Winters, please drink the coffee.”
Adina picked up the coffee and said with a cool expression, “I just heard you guys say that Mr. Winters
is having an affair with a foreign woman?”
“M–Mdm. Winters, you heard it wrong!” Miss Clark was frightened out of her wits. “We were talking
about gossip in the entertainment industry. It has nothing to do with Mr. Winters.”
Adina looked up, and her gaze was fixed on the secretary in the black suit behind her. “You did say
what I just quoted from you. Please come with me to the CEO‘s office.”
The secretary in the black suit trembled in fear.
She wished to slap herself in the face. Why did she bring up Mr. Winters when there were so many
other things she could say?
Furthermore, she had been caught on the spot. This was going to be such huge trouble!
“M–Madam Winters, I was wrong.” That secretary trembled in fear. “I was just running my mouth off. I
won‘t dare to do it again.”
Adina frowned. “I am only asking you a few questions about Mr. Winters. What are you afraid of?”
“What do you want to ask? You can just ask me.”
Earl slowly walked toward them. The strides he took with his two extraordinarily long legs gave him an
incredibly awe inspiring aura.
These secretaries used to be terrified of the CEO’s sudden visit, but Earl‘s appearance at that moment
made them feel like they had just been thrown a log that could save them from drowning.
“Mr. Winters, take your time to chat with Mdm. Winters. We will go back to our work first!”
Miss Clark then grabbed the hands of her colleagues and quickly fled from the scene.
Earl‘s gaze fell on Adina. He said coldly, “Did you come to my office early in the morning to flaunt your
authority? What? Are you actually feeling jealousy toward these secretaries?”
Adina‘s heart felt a dull pang when she listened to his cold mockery.
She had to convince herself over and over again in her mind that this man was ill with multiple
personality disorder.
He was no longer the man who loved her, but was a split
personality within him.
She could not be sad and feel disappointed because of his other personality.
“I made you breakfast.” Adina turned around and took out the lunch box. “Try it and see if it‘s good.”
Earl‘s gaze fell on the breakfast that was still piping hot.
The sandwich had been stuffed with fried eggs, and there was also milk and cheese. It was a very
hearty breakfast.
His eternally cold heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He sat on the chair and casually took a bite of the sandwich. It had a very ordinary taste, but there was
also something unique about it.
It was a taste he had not experienced in the previous twenty years.
He wanted to indulge himself, but refrained when he remembered that this woman was his own
brother‘s wife. He quickly became completely disinterested in it.
He raised his hand and threw the sandwich back into the plate roughly and said coldly, “You were the
one who made me sign the divorce papers last night, and you bring me breakfast today? Adina, what
exactly do you want?”
“I wish to save the marriage.” Adina lowered her head to clean up the table. “Last night, I told myself
that I would give this marriage one last chance. I would make a last ditch, wholehearted effort to save
this relationship. If it still leads to divorce, at least I won‘t feel guilty.”
Earl stared at her blankly.
He was a heartless and ruthless person. His blood was cold, and he was someone who could even
leave his father to die. He killed those who stood in his way with his own hands while keeping a straight
face. So, the same went for this. He would not feel any guilt about taking on the role of his own brother.
But as he stared at Adina, behaving this way, his dark heart seemed to suddenly light up.
It was a faint light that might get extinguished at any moment in the wind.
