Chapter 680
“Earl is not the same as Duke. They are two completely different people!” Catherine yelled in a low voice, “Before you knew Earl, he had already been with countless women. His female companion changed everyday, and they are never the same. He‘s treating you well because he finds you fresh. When the novelty wears off, you will be abandoned by him, like me.”
“Is that so?” Adina smiled. “I‘m more beautiful than you, and I have more dimensions than you. I don‘t think I‘m not even able to make him fall for me. Like now, I’ve asked him to send you out of Sea City, and he is doing it without saying anything. I asked him to leave the room, and he obediently went out. You‘ve met Earl for so many years. Have you ever seen him acting upon the whims of a woman like that?”
Adina‘s words stabbed Catherine‘s chest like a sharp knife.
She clenched her fists tightly to suppress her grief, discontentment, and jealousy.
“As long as Earl can treat my kids as his own, I can live the rest of my life with him,” Adina continued. “He looks identical to Duke. When he is gentle, even their smiles are identical. As long as I hypnotize myself, I can treat him as Duke and the man I love the most. Either way, life will still go on no matter who I live with, and I don‘t really care.”
Catherine started shaking.
She had waited for Earl for so many years. She had waited for
him to come out of the shadows, waited for him to start being an upright person, and waited for herself to marry him.
But everything that she fantasized about was being taken away by Adina.
The man she loved actually forcefully sent her away just for Adina the bitch.
She refused to give in. She could not leave willingly..
“Don‘t stare at me like you want to kill me. You know, I don‘t love Earl. If you had not cooperated with him to kill my husband, I wouldn‘t even have spared him a glance,” Adina said coldly.” Since you‘ve killed my man, then you should give your man away
She suppressed her excitement before she scoffed and said,” Everyone says he‘s dead, and now you‘re saying that he isn‘t. Do you think I will take your word over everyone else‘s ?”
Catherine looked at Adina‘s eyes. “During the process of washing his memories, Duke was calling your name. He kept calling your name again and again to strengthen the memories where the two of you met. Because of this, I failed to wash his memories away. The process was very painful, and he was very strong–willed and refused to cooperate. In the end, he could not bear it, and he fainted.”
