Adina stopped him and held his hand as they walked to the garden at the side.
George looked down.He did not know how to explain everything that had happened in the morning.He
knew that his mommy would ask him about it, but he still had not found an excuse to tell his mother.
"Georgie, do you trust Mommy?"
Adina held him by the shoulders, and they looked each other in the eyes.
George nodded gently.
"I trust you."
Adina asked again, "So, who do you trust more now, Daddy or Mommy?"
"Mommy," George said without hesitation.
"Great." Adina flashed him a smile of relief.
"I’m going to ask you a few questions.Can you answer me honestly?"
George became silent.
He naturally knew what his mom wanted to ask, but could he really tell her about those things?
"You're very smart, so I’m sure you’ve felt that something’s been off with your dad recently, right? I've
actually been looking for the reason, and I have a bold guess, but I can’t tell you for the time being,"
Adina slowly said.
"I’ve already sorted out some things, but I can’t investigate the projects and documents in the company,
so I can only ask you.
"Georgie, you’ re a well-behaved kid, so you won’t just check out your dad’s office desk for no reason.I
guess you must’ve felt that something was wrong too, right?"
George twisted his fingers and gloomily said, "I heard Dad talking to his new assistant, and it sounded
strange."
‘What did you hear them talk about?"
George hesitantly described what he had heard and seen.
He grabbed the hem of Adina’s shirt, bit his bottom lip, and said, "Mommy, I’m really scared.The
documents in Dad’s drawer made me feel very anxious.I don’t know what to do."
"Georgie, forget everything you saw and heard today."
Adina held him in her arms.
"I'll handle all of this.You just need to go to school] and take good care of your brothers and sister.As
long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone hurt you."
George snuggled into Adina’s arms and nodded dejectedly.His heart had been beating fast the entire
day, but it finally settled down.
As long as his mom was with him, he was not afraid of anything.
"Wow, George, you secretly kept Mommy to yourself!"
Harold ran out of the mansion and looked jealous.He rushed over and threw himself into Adina’s arms.
"Mommy, I want a hug too!" he said, acting adorably.
Alden walked over with Melody as well, and Adina beckoned them.
"Alden, Mel, come over here too.I can hold the four of you at once."
She held the four children in both of her arms tightly.They were her whole world.
No matter what, she would let them grow up happily and healthily without worries.
The night was getting darker.
Adina only returned to her room after she coaxed the kids to sleep.She took out a notebook and wrote
down a few keywords on the paper.
[Split personality, Catherine, biotech company, Earley Wynters, Winters Corporation...] She wrote down
every suspicious thing on paper.
Based on their interaction over the past few days, she felt more and more that Duke did not seem to
have some kind of split personality disorder.
Rather, he looked like a different person.
It was a very creepy thought, but the moment it appeared in her mind, she could no longer get rid of it.
If he really was a different person, that would explain all the recent weird occurrences.
But would there be two people with identical faces in the world? It would also require at least two years
for someone to achieve a face that was identical to that of another via plastic surgery.
Had this conspiracy started two years ago? Adina set her sights on the name, "Earley Wynters,"before
she looked at human biology.
She suddenly remembered that one day two months ago, the masked Earley had shown up in her
company and expressed a desire to collaborate with her to complete a project related to biotechnology.
