George was taken aback. “Daddy, we haven’t even started eating yet. Can’t we leave after dinner?”
Duke pulled Adina to him. Adina’s eyes had lost all emotion. They were unfocused and looked at him
icily.
Alden’s heart sank.
He tugged at George’s arm and said hoarsely, “Daddy, you can take Mommy upstairs. George and I will
leave after eating.” Duke got up and carried Adina upstairs. He placed her on the bed and locked the
door behind him.
“What’s going on, Al?” George asked, his face getting paler. “Is it really what you thought?”
“According to what I’ve read online, Mommy’s sudden changes are the exact same thing that happens
to humans who have been implanted with the bio-intelligent chips,” Alden said gravely. “This is the

George’s heart felt heavy. “What should we do now?”
“Since mommy chose to leave the Winters family’s mansion, it must mean that it’s the best course of
action right now. The only thing we can do now is help Daddy crack the program.” Alden pursed his
lips.
Even when his favorite dishes were in front of him, he didn’t feel like eating at all. “Let’s go, George,” he
said and stood up.
George took a quick glance at the closed bedroom door on the second floor and followed Alden out of
the mansion.
Duke held Adina in his arms and called her name softly over and over again. She finally calmed down.
Her eyes rolled listlessly. “Please tell me I didn’t do anything that cannot be undone.”
.
“No. Everything is fine. I got you upstairs just in time,” Duke said gently. “You seem to be doing a better
job at going against the orders in your head.”
“That is because I understand the logic behind its operation now. I was able to fight it a little.” Adina’s
lips curled into a smile. “Am I doing okay?”
“My Addy did great!” Duke said as he stroked her hair.
The two walked downstairs together. The guard informed them that the two young masters had
returned to the Winters family’s mansion. Adina felt relieved. “Georgie and Al came over today. Maybe
Hal and Mel will secretly sneak over tomorrow.”
Duke nodded, “I’ll tell Mr. Brown to keep a close eye on them. I will tell him to not let them wander off.”
Addy suffered when she couldn’t see her children and she suffered when she saw them.

longing and sorrow for them.
She had been there for about a month, but there had been no progress. She was afraid of being
permanently controlled by the chip.
The only thing that made her happy was that the resort project was steadily progressing in the right
direction, and the base construction near the sea was going well, too. “Don’t get excited too soon,”
Adina warned Daniel. “Zhenny and Jasmine will try to cause more trouble when they see us
succeeding. You must be careful.”
Daniel smiled. “Something happened at the oil rig yesterday, and it was… messy. Aunt Zhenny is too
busy fixing that. She does not have the time to cause us any trouble for now.”
“What happened? Why wasn’t I told about this?” Adina asked in surprise.
“Aunt Zhenny tried to speed up the process and ordered the workers to work more than sixteen hours a
day, which led to several people getting injured due overworking. They began causing trouble, and
Aunt Zhenny is trying to put a stop to it.”
