Duke fell into contemplative silence before he asked, "Do you have to attend the banquet tonight?"

Adina gave him a sideways glance. "What's wrong?"

It was a celebration party organized by Elitos, so those who attended the banquet today were business partners that were going to collaborate with Elitos. She could use this opportunity to expand her network, hence she wanted to attend it if possible.

Duke was at a loss of words when she stared at him.

Could he tell her that he did not want other men to see her beauty, so he was hoping she would not attend?

He would never say that out loud.

His words died in his throat, and he indifferently said, "Hal's very dependent on you, so I just wanted to ask what time you'll be home." Adina tidied her hair as she answered, "About 9.00 pm." "Okay, I'll go and pick you up," Duke said with a straight face.

Adina wanted to decline at first, but her car was still under maintenance. Plus, Alden and Melody were still with the Winters family. It seemed that she could only return to the Winters family villa for the time being.

She lowered her head and smoothed out her dress without saying anything else.

After she changed gowns and got her hair styled, Duke watched as Adina entered the banquet hall. Just as he was about to drive away, he received a text message from Catherine on his phone. (Mr. Winters, I'm planning to open a counseling center in Sea City soon. May I know if you can help me rent out an office?]

Duke tapped on the keypad and sent a one-word reply. [Okay.)

Catherine had taken care of his mother for so many years, and it was not very difficult for him to help rent an office for her. He could just leave it to his assistant.

As soon as Adina entered the banquet hall, Serene approached her.

"Wow! Ms, Daugherty, you look stunning today. You look like a lotus fairy."

Adina chuckled from Serene's amusing description. "So, do I look like a walking lotus?"

"No, you're a lotus fairy. You're innocent, attractive, sexy, and charming." Serene covered her face dramatically. "If I were a man, I would risk everything I have to pursue you, Ms. Daugherty." "Okay, don't be silly." Adina scanned the banquet hall. "Tell me about yesterday afternoon's bidding session."

Serene nodded and walked as she said, "The biggest winner yesterday was Xavier Corporation.

They became the biggest chip provider for Elitos."

Adina glanced around the banquet hall, and sure enough, she saw her uncle, Richard, and her cousin, Ethan.

After Xavier Corporation launched a new and improved smart product, it became one of the top three Internet-related enterprises in Sea City. Elitos truly made a wise move to collaborate with Xavier Corporation.

"Meanwhile, the Walker and Sunderland families became Elitos' spare part suppliers." Just then, Adina saw Trent and Eilam walk toward her with a glass of champagne. "Ms. Daugherty, you're a real genius." Trent raised his champagne glass and toasted to Adina. "You were able to defeat the CEO of Jones Corporation. You're extraordinary. No wonder you've got Duke hooked."

Adina raised her eyebrows indifferently. "Mr. Sunderland, you're not that bad either. You do nothing but hook up with women. I didn't expect you to also establish a collaboration with Elitos. I'm impressed." Trent instantly felt attacked. This woman had a really sharp tongue. Whenever they argued, he would always lose to her.
