Chapter 791
The family of six joyfully finished their breakfast.
Mabel descended the stairs while looking pale.
“Grandma, good morning..”
“Good morning, Grandma..”
The children greeted Mabel one after another.
Mabel walked to the dining table and sat down.Mr.Brown immediately served the breakfast that had already been prepared long ago.
Adina put down her chopsticks and stood up.As she was about to go to the living room, Mabel called after her.
“Duke, Addy, I have something to tell you both..”
Adina halted her steps and said lightly, “What is it?”

even Adina was stunned
after recalling what happened when he was fifteen, she could see that Duke did not have much attachment
Mabel would only worsen. It was the best choice for Mabel
“I know what you are going to do there..”
Duke spoke coldly, “I am Not going to allow you to do that..”
Mabel widened her eyes and her lips trembled as she said, “Duke, you’ve misunderstood me. I-I can’t possibly go to look for Earl and don’t know where he has been locked up.How am I going to locate him? I just want to live on my own and stop bothering you guys..”
Duke clenched his jaw.His mother was the one who came up with the idea of having his father convicted and put on trial the year he turned fifteen.His mother had used her tears as a weapon to pressure his father to risk confessing the crimes that repeatedly led him to the execution chamber at the time while he was already terminally ill.
His relationship with his mother ruptured after his father passed away.
When he was eighteen years old, his mother started making frequent trips to Australia and eventually settled down there.
At first, he thought it was because his mother was embarrassed to face the Winters family, but subsequently found out Earl frequently traveled to Australia.His mother shifted to Australia, just so she could catch up with Earl more easily.
Now his mother was up to her old tricks again, and her behaviors had revealed her intention.He would not allow something similar to happen again.
“From today on, I will arrange a personal bodyguard for you..”
Duke spoke lightly, “He will follow you everywhere you go..”
Mabel closed her eyes in despair.
