Chapter 116


    Chapter 116 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 yed 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 difficultymunicating.


    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 shee to Winters Corporation alone?”


    He sounded like he was testing her out.


    Adina narrowed her eyes. “Mr. Winters, do you think I purposely let here 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 bing a stepmother.”


    Adina chuckled. “The police have established a case for my missing daughter. They mighte to you


    for a statementter. 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.

    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 red 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 hispany.


    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.
