Chapter 908
Mabel sighed quietly, then she turned around and went upstairs. Adina stuffed her hands into her pockets and slowly ascended the stairs. When the bedroom door was pushed open, Adina caught the thick smell of cigarette smoke. Earl was a smoker. Back when she was dealing with Earl every day, she ended up inhaling his secondhand smoke. She waited for the smoke to disperse before she slowly stepped inside.
“You can leave.”
Earl‘s gaze was on Mabel‘s face when he spat out those three words emotionlessly.
Mabel choked back everything she wanted to say. She did not dare face this son of hers, so she slowly walked out of the room and shut the door.
Adina stood near the door. In a cold voice, she said, “What did you call me here for?”
Earl‘s gaze landed on her hands. He casually said, “Show me your hands.”
Adina obeyed and took her hands out of her pockets.
“Take off your jacket and toss it at the door,” Earl commanded coldly.
Adina did not refuse. She took off the jacket and tossed it onto the floor, and the jacket made a clinking sound as it landed.
“Heh, you even kept a knife in your pocket. Adina, don‘t you have any other tricks up your sleeves?”
Not wanting to be outdone, Adina sneered.
“Against you, a knife is enough.”
Earl rifled around in his own pocket and procured a black remote control.
“Do you know what will happen if I press this red button?”
Adina pursed her lips and did not say anything.
“I‘ve planted a bomb in this mansion. All I have to do is press this button, and this house will be blown up to high heaven.” Earl made an exaggerated gesture.
