My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 253

At 3.00 pm, Adina drove to the office building that she had visited yesterday.

The building’s entrance was quiet today. Nobody was around. Only two security guards watched the entrance.

As soon as she parked her car, a black car parked beside her. Duke stepped out after he pushed the car door open.

Adina unfastened her seatbelt before she also got out of her car.

The two of them walked toward the office building side by side, and nobody stopped them.

Duke took the elevator and walked to an office in a familiar way. He raised his arm, knocked on the door, and directly pushed it open.

“You really came to find me. I thought you were messing with me!” The man sitting in the office chair stood up. Before he continued, he saw Adina behind Duke. He was slightly surprised as he asked, “When did you get yourself such a beautiful secretary?”

“She’s not my secretary,” Duke answered coldly.

Adina smiled faintly and took a step forward. “Hi, Mr. Watson. I’m Adina Daugherty. Mr. Winters and I are business partners.”

Brenden pushed his glasses up a little, and his gaze on Adina was sharp. Then, he looked at Duke. “Just business partners?”

Based on his intuition as a lawyer, these two people were definitely not merely business partners.

Duke cast a cold glance at him.

Brenden came from a poor family. His landlord had chased him out while he was studying abroad. Just as he arrived at a dead end, he coincidentally met Duke.

Duke’s family was rich, and he lived alone in a three-story villa. After they met, Brenden became attached to Duke.

Brenden lived in Duke’s house for more than a year. After he graduated and became successful, he always wanted to repay Duke’s kindness.
