Chapter 648
“Daugherty, calm down first. I‘ll ask her a few more questions.” Pete continued to stare at Catherine and ask, “Who sent Duke out of the country?”
“It was Earl,” Catherine said dumbfoundedly. “He sent Duke away, but Duke sought death. He marched to his own death. It had nothing to do with Earl. It had nothing to do with anyone,” Catherine muttered to herself, and her pupils started to move again.
It was a sign that she was about to wake up.
Adina was in so much pain that it felt as if she had been shot. She had difficulty breathing.
She gripped Catherine‘s shoulders and lost her cool as she asked, “Where did you send him? Tell me, which country Duke was sent to?”
She shook Catherine‘s shoulders with great force.
“Daugherty, calm down. She‘ll wake up if you do this.”
Pete grabbed Adina‘s arm to pull her away, but right then...
The ward door was suddenly pushed open.
“Addy, coffee‘s here. It‘s still hot.”
Earl held on to the handle and stepped into the ward with one foot. He was completely stunned.
He looked at the situation before him. Catherine was leaning back on the couch with a blank expression. He could tell that she was hypnotized.
A man in a white coat grabbed Adina’s arm, and the two of them were clearly arguing about something.
At that moment, Catherine regained consciousness as well.
“Earl, Adina hypnotized me!” She got up and ran toward Earl. ” She knows everything. She set this up!”
Earl stood at the ward door while he looked at Adina coldly.
Adina returned the same look at Earl.
Since things had progressed to this point, there was no need to pretend anymore.
Earl emanated a ruthless aura. He raised his arm, grabbed Pete‘s collar, and threw him to the side.
Pete was very skinny and weak. Upon getting thrown, his head hit the wall, and he fainted instantly.
“Pete!”
Adina was so shocked that she promptly rushed over.
Pete was a doctor whom she had hired. If anything happened to him because of her, she would have to bear the consequences.
However, before she could check on Pete’s injury, the man grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his arms by force.
“Adina Daugherty, is it fun to make a fool out of me?”
Earl stared at her and gritted his teeth. Every word carried great anger.
Adina stared at him and chuckled out of extreme rage.” Shouldn‘t it be my turn to ask you that? Earl Winters, is it very fun to act as your own brother?”
