My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 17

Duke immediately gave off a dreary aura.

He held the wet bills between his fingers as a sneer formed on his lips.

This was the first time someone had shoved money into his hands.

This woman really did not know what was good for her!

If it were not because they had seen each other the day before, he would not have put his jacket around her shoulders!

Duke chuckled coldly.

When he looked up, he saw his friends surrounding Adina at the top of the stairs.

His gaze turned even colder, and he walked up the stairs swiftly.

Despite being surrounded by eight men, Adina did not appear distressed or troubled.

She surveyed all the men surrounding her.

Trent Sunderland, the second son of the Sunderlan family.

Eilam Walker, heir of the Walker family.

The eldest young master of the Caddel family.

All of them were the upper-class of the upper-class.

Four years ago… No. Five years ago, before the accident, she had met all of them before.

However, all of them thought that she was dead.

They would never even consider that the person standing in front of them could be Adina Daugherty, the eldest daughter of the Daugherty family, because she was no longer among the living.

“Why were you in the river, babe?” Trent went over and started flirting with her. “Since your clothes are drenched, why don’t I buy you new clothes from the supermarket?”

Since Duke could not score her, he would show him how it’s done.

He had been flirting around for years, so there was not a single woman who would not fall for his charms!

However, Adina did not even look at him. She just said coolly, “Move.”

“We reserved this place today, babe. It’s ours now, so I shouldn’t be the one moving, no?” With a smile, Trent drew even closer to her. “Tell me your name and your contact number, then I’ll let you go.”

The next second, a pained scream similar to that of a pig being slaughtered pierced the air.

No one in the group had seen what had happened. They just saw Trent being thrown to the ground in a miserable fashion.

Adina dusted her hands calmly. “Young Master Trent, you’re as shameless and perverted as ever.”

She kicked him away and left.

The men were shocked and didn’t dare to stop her.

“Are you okay, Trent?”

“I-I’m fine!” Trent struggled to stand up, then, as if the pain did not exist, he looked up in delight. “Did you hear that? She just said that I’m as shameless and perverted as before! This means that she knows me! I told you, I definitely know her! I just don’t remember from where right now!”

Eilam rolled his eyes. “Everyone in Sea City knows that you’re a womanizer.”
