Chapter 230


    It should nottake that long to go to the restroom. “Duke, you better go and look for Adina. If you‘rete,


    you‘ll mess it up!” Trent gestured dramatically with his hands. Duke looked at him coldly, “What did you


    do?”


    “I made a ss of wine for Ms. Daugherty. I added something good into the wine.” Trent shed him an


    ambiguous smile. “It‘s a booster that you can‘t even buy with money. I‘ve done you a great favor. How


    are you going to thank me?” Duke‘s gaze instantly turned dark.


    He took the wine ss that Adina had drunk from and smelled it. His expression soon changed.


    He poured the wine on Trent‘s face before he turned around, pulled open the door, and walked out.


    “Hey! Are you insane?” Trent immediately wiped the wine off his face. “Em, has he lost his mind? I


    put so much effort into helping him, but he dared to do this to me. What the heck?!”


    Em rolled his eyes. “Can‘t you see that Duke‘s pursuing Ms. Daugherty seriously? Now that you‘ve


    done this, it looks like Duke set Ms. Daugherty up. Maybe he could have been sessful tonight, but


    after this, Duke and Ms. Daugherty definitely won‘t get together.” Trent was stunned. “Do I still have


    time to run away?”


    The drug had taken effect, and Adina had seemingly lost all her strength.


    The man blocked her way and even grabbed her wrist.


    Worse still, this man was actually the man who had defiled her five years ago.


    In other words, he was Alden and Melody‘s father.


    Adina felt disgusted and nauseous. He had ruined her life the night she turned eighteen. As a result,


    she hated the children‘s father very much.


    She raised her arm and pped him with all her might.


    p! The clear sound of the hit traveled over the bobbing waves. The man did not expect her to have


    the strength to p him despite being in such a condition. He was so angry that hisplexion turned


    blue,

    He instantly grabbed Adina‘s wrist and spoke in a cold, intense tone. “Don‘t you just want to hook up


    with a rich man on the cruise since you‘re this drunk? You did this five years ago, and you‘re doing the


    same thing five yearster! Since you‘re so gorg !!s, I‘ll turn a blind eye to how many men have slept


    with you all these years!” The man maintained his grip on Adina‘s wrist and dragged her into the private


    room at the


    side.


    Right then, a tall and straight figure appeared on the other end of the corridor. As soon as he showed


    up, the temperature in the corridor instantly dropped more than ten degrees. It was as if winter had


    suddenly arrived. “Let go of her.”


    Duke slowly walked over. His expression was cold, intense, stern, and ruthless, just like a demon from


    hell.


    Adina saw a savior.


    She had initially held her breath as she nned to sneak an attack on the man once he stopped paying


    attention.


    But she breathed out at that moment.


    For some reason, she waspletely sure that Duke would not let anything happen to her even


    though the two of them were not very close “Ahh, Mr. Winters.” That man narrowed his eyes. “We‘ve


    met once in Central City: Do you still remember me?”


    Duke scoffed. “Why would I have to remember a nobody?”


    He was rude, and his voice was filled with sarcasm. The man‘s expression turned colder. No matter


    what, he still held some power in Central City, but he had been insulted in such a manner. Before he


    could say anything, Duke walked over. He extended his strong arm and pulled Adina into his arms.


    Duke red at the man. “If you have the audacity to long for things that don‘t belong to you, you can


    forget about staying in Sea City.” He supported Adina as he turned around and left.
