My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 937

Adina walked into the elevator. When the doors closed, she turned around and saw her face in the elevator‘s mirror.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of her lips were still filled with hostility and ruthlessness.

Why did she… suddenly become so violent?

She slowly raised her arm and could apparently still feel the moment she slapped Zhenny.

She was indeed angry. When Zhenny insulted her late mother, her head was filled with rage. She was completely dumbfounded.

Her character made it impossible for her to act violently toward an elder no matter how angry she got.

Adina massaged her forehead and forced herself to calm down.

Ding–dong! The elevator doors opened, and just as she walked out, a tall figure approached her. The bright sunlight was shining on the man, and he was wearing a black trench coat as well as a gray sweater. He looked warm, which was very rare. “Has it ended?”

Duke held her slim waist as he led her outside.

Adina looked down. “Duke, I just hit someone.” Duke‘s expression did not change much. “That person must have said something that overstepped their boundaries, so you taught them a lesson.” Adina chuckled in resignation. “No matter what she did, I shouldn‘t have acted so violently. I slapped her and even grabbed her hair before I threw her toward the trash can. Her head was injured, and she bled a lot.” When the elevator doors were closing earlier, she saw the blood from Zhenny‘s forehead drip.

Her injury seemed to be quite severe. Duke‘s fingers froze for a while, but his expression remained gentle. “It‘s a small matter. It‘s fine.”

He pulled open the front passenger door and thoughtfully fastened the seatbelt for Adina. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

One minute before he drove, he sent his assistant a text message. Duke drove the car smoothly on the road and took Adina home only after they had lunch. There were not many cars on the road on the first day of the new year, so it did not take long for them to arrive home.

The four children had invited some friends from preschool to hold a party at home, so it was very lively.

After Adina greeted the kids, she went upstairs to rest. Noise kept coming from the children downstairs, so Adina simply put on some earplugs and nestled in Duke‘s arms to sleep. Once her breathing became stable, Duke finally turned on his laptop. When he saw the headlines, his expression darkened.

He knew that Zhenny would not let it go, so he had asked Jake to watch the public‘s opinion on the Internet.

When news of the Jones family‘s illegitimate daughter slapping her own aunt was reported, Winters Corporation‘s Marketing Department had it all suppressed with money. All the media outlets received instructions from Winters Corporation, telling them that they were not allowed to report any related news.

After the Internet remained silent for an hour, Zhenny suddenly popped up in a live stream.

Her head was dressed with gauze, and blood kept seeping out of it. There was a red palm print on her face, and she looked extremely haggard.

She was bedridden while receiving an IV, and she complained with disbelief, “I can‘t believe that my own niece would slap me for just a small matter. She‘s already won the position of Jones Corporation‘s heir. To insult me, she grabbed my hair in public. I still find it so surreal. Why would someone younger like her slap me?”
