    Chapter 497


    The light in the office was dim. The yellow light shone brightly in Adina’s dark eyes. Earley looked at


    her eyes that brimmed with indifference, and he suddenly smiled faintly.


    “Adina, you’re really smart, so how did your own sister manage to set you up five years ago?”


    Adina’s pink lips were tense.


    She was set up five years ago because she trusted those two so-called family members, not because


    she was stupid.


    While she was in a daze, Earley immediately raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.


    Adina was slim and agile. She took a step back and easily got out of Earley’s control range.


    She stabbed at Earley’s neck with the knife in her hand without hesitation.


    Earley narrowed his eyes, and he was forced to keep moving backward. He coldly said, “You’re


    unexpectedly great in martial arts.”


    He was almost no match for her.


    Adina smiled faintly and chuckled. “If you really harm my daughter, I’ll stab your heart with the knife


    without hesitation. But today, I don’t want to make my hands dirty!”


    As she said that, she jumped forward and strongly hit the back of Earley’s neck with her elbow.


    Earley was focused on the knife in her hand, so he did not expect that she would suddenly use this


    method. The back of his neck was hit, and his vision turned ck before he fell to the ground.


    Bang!


    He fell down to the ground, and a cloud of dust was flung up.


    The muscr man in the warehouse heard themotion via the walkie-talkie.

    The muscr man, who was holding a lighter, stared at them in surprise. He did not expect his boss to


    be beaten unconscious by a woman.


    He shook his head and turned back to his task.


    Swish!


    The lighter lit up with a small, ghostly blue me.


    The two-centimeter – thick twine was tinged with sparks of fire and instantly lit up.


    Duke stood about ten meters away, and his sharp gaze narrowed.


    He raised his leg and kicked away the two muscr men in ck in front of him before he rushed over.


    But who could outrun a spreading fire? The rope was broken by the burning when he was about live


    meters away, and the sack came crashing down from the beam


    “No!”


    Duke screamed at the top of his lungs, and he desperately rushed over.


    He spread his arms and wanted to catch the sack that fell down.


    He did not want the person inside the sack to get hurt.


    He would rather be the person being tied inside the sack now.


    He would rather fall down to his death than allow Adina to be hurt.


    But he was still one stepte!


    He just watched as the sack dropped to the floor, and a thudding sound was heard on the concrete


    floor.


    Then, he saw that the sack was slowly bing wet. Blood continued to seep out of the sack, and


    much of it


    ght-for


    spread across the damp ground.


    “Addy…”


    Howdy


    Duke’s voice trembled.


    He slowly walked over. His knees went weak, and he knelt on the concrete floor.


    He reached out and wanted to untie the sack, but it was full of blood. When he reached out, he was so


    scared that he kept his hand away.


    He dared not touch it.


    He feared it would make her injury more severe if he touched the sack.


    He feared nothing over the past twenty years of his life, but he was really frightened at that moment.
