My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

At the Daugherty Corporation, Aaron and Ruby could do nothing except watch helplessly as the company stock price plummeted quickly.

“Duke, Daugherty Corporation is unable to withstand such a blow. Please go easy on us.”

Aaron could no longer pretend not to care. If this continued, Daugherty Corporation would only end in one way: collapsing into bankruptcy.

Duke’s lips curled into an ice-cold, malicious smile. “So, are you all still denying it?”

Ruby supported herself on the desk while her entire body shivered.

As her pale lips trembled, she pleaded, “Duke, no matter what, Dew has taken care of Georgie and Hal for four years. Her hard work deserves some credit. Please spare us. Spare the Daugherty family.”

The smile on Duke’s face disappeared at that instant.

He arose menacingly, his eyes twinkling like a pair of eagle eyes, “That is to say, you two were also aware of that matter? That incident from four years back?”

He sent out an aura that fell upon Ruby with staggering weight. Her entire body shook, and she could not say a word.

Taking a deep breath, Aaron explained, “We all believed that Addy had died four years ago, and we could not bear to see her children grow up without her, so we devised such a solution. The blood of the Daugherty family does flow in Georgie and Hal, so don’t you think dealing with the Daugherty Corporation will disappoint them?”

Duke was on the verge of losing it.

“Adina is the biological mother of my two sons, and her blood flows through them!” He said coldly, “And the Daugherty family almost forced my sons’ mother to death. Who do you think the two children would be disappointed with?”

He sneered, “You all should be grateful for now that Adina owns shares of the Daugherty Corporation. Otherwise, the Daugherty Corporation would have disappeared from Sea City tonight.”

Aaron slumped on the sofa.

Ruby’s fear was evident in her eyes. She had a feeling that Duke’s revenge would involve more dreadful tactics.

“Buzz buzz!”

Just then, her cell phone vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Dew. She did not dare answer it and immediately declined the call.

Duke saw the name flashing on the phone screen as well. He laughed lightly, “Answer the call. I’m keen to know how the two of you mother-daughter duo plan to trick me once more.”

He had been deceived for four years. That had been over a thousand days and nights. He would never let the Daugherty family off the hook! Collapsing the share prices of the Daugherty Corporation was just his first step.

The call had already disconnected, but Dew called again. Ruby refrained from looking into Duke’s eyes. She answered the phone with trembling hands.

“Mom, listen to me. You need to act fast to sell all the stocks in your hands and all the fixed assets. Sell them all at once. It doesn’t matter if the price is high or low. Everything must be sold.” Dew said in a raspy and wretched voice, “Quickly transfer me a hundred million. I’m leaving the country now.”

Ruby’s heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Duke seemed to have approached her daughter. What exactly did Duke do to Dew to cause such fear in her?

“Mom, are you paying attention to what I’m saying?”
