When Adina arrived at The Rock Bar, she pushed open the door to a private room and went inside. Soon after, she saw that Flint had been tied and thrown on the floor. “Addy, you’re finally here…” Flint wiggled over like a caterpillar.Just then, he was kicked to the side by a man in a black suit.The man in the black suit walked over with a cigarette. “Did you bring the money?”Adina threw the box over. “Five million dollars, not a penny less.”The man in the black suit threw the box to his people behind him to let them count the money. The group checked for ten minutes before they were done.Adina grabbed Flint by the collar and walked outside.“Addy, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad. I won't hang out in a place like this again.”“Mad at you? Ha! Do I have the time?” Adina pushed him strongly. “I'm warning you. If you get into this kind of trouble again, don’t call me!”This man was already twenty-five years old, but he was still getting into blackmailing situations. Who woul
Trent drank a glass of wine, and seemed regretful.Eilam stared at him. “Whatever it is you want to say, you better think twice first.”As he spoke, he intentionally cast a glance at Duke.“Maybe you don’t know the man who was with Adina just now, but I've heard his name a lot.” Trent shook his head and said, “He’s from Anbarica. He's a typical rich boy from a rich family. People call him the Prince of Love. The women around him never show up repeatedly. Compared with this Mr. Morton, I wouldn't dare call myself a playboy.”Eilam was in disbelief. “There's actually someone more disloyal than you?”“Adina's such a tough woman, but she still fell for Flint.” Trent sighed and said, “It’s such a shame for this gorgeous beauty to be with Flint. The bar's boss said that a rich man was blackmailed. Looks like it was Flint. You can imagine how Mr. Morton ended up like that.”Duke glared at him. “Who says she's fallen for Flint?”“Isn’t it obvious?” Trent said. “The two of them hugged ea
When Alden was growing up, Flint was in their lives almost every day.Sometimes when his mom was busy, Uncle Flint would come over and send them to school. He would always bring them out. Many neighbors had also misunderstood that Uncle Flint was their father.He knew that they would return to Sea City one day, so he never dared to think about it too much.However, a few days ago, Uncle Flint had suddenly reappeared in their world. Alden had been wondering if Uncle Flint married his mother, would there be one more person who could protect his mother?But now, his fantasy had shattered into pieces.Uncle Flint had gotten involved with another woman and even asked his mom to help him out.Alden really regretted calling Flint "Dad" the other day.He moved forward and nonchalantly said, “Mom, you can go ahead and do other things. I’ll help Uncle Flint clean up.”While Adina was more than irritated with Flint, she did not want her son to take over.She twisted a towel as she said
If was fine as long as he could be in her life.But Alden was asking him to leave now.“I’ll leave on the earliest flight tomorrow.” Flint pulled the blanket over and covered his face. “I’m tired. I want to get some sleep.”Alden silently held the basin and entered the bathroom.He felt guilty and blamed himself. His face was full of anxiety.No matter what, Uncle Flint had lent his mom a hand when she was in trouble, but he was chasing Uncle Flint away.Was he being too selfish?……The next morning, when Adina went downstairs to make breakfast, the couch was empty.There was a note on the table in the dining room. [Addy, my father's calling for me. I’ll go back home first. See you next time.”Adina pursed her lips.Flint came from a rich family, but he was unreliable, and his bank card had been frozen for a long time.She guessed the Morton family must have been shocked when he returned $6,000,000 to her yesterday.She had expected the Morton family to call him back as we
Dew took Harold’s things and went directly to the Winters’ house.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw George walking out with a cold expression.“George.”Dew went forward quickly.“Mom,” George greeted her politely. “Harold's in the bedroom. You better not go up to the second floor.”Wherever Harold was present, Dew would try not to go there.Since that young master never respected her, she would never make a fool of herself.Dew handed the things to Mr. Brown, the housekeeper, before she softly said, “George, I need your help with something.”George pursed his lips. “Please speak.”“George, I know that your father has given you plenty of manpower. Can you ask your subordinates to help me check on Adina…” Dew sighed and looked sad. "Adina's the third largest shareholder of Daugherty Corporation now. Her every word and action will affect the company’s share price… But I saw a little girl calling her mom this morning… She isn't married yet, so how can she have a child?"
“I…” Dew grabbed her own collar.Of course she was afraid!She was afraid that Adina would discover who the two young masters in the Winters family actually were!She was afraid that the Winters family would find out what happened four years ago!She was afraid that all her beautiful dreams over the last four years would break into pieces.Dew bit her bottom lip with all her strength before she was able to suppress her anxiety.“George… I’m afraid…” She moved forward and held George’s little hands. “Adina and I are stepsisters, but the conflict between us is too strong. It can’t be resolved. She's back now, and she won’t easily spare me. She'll hurt you and your brother.” She looked down and continued to slowly say, “I asked you to investigate Adina’s child because I want to have something on her. That way, she'll think twice about doing anything. Who knew that Harold would misunderstand like this? George, forget it. Don’t look into her. You and Harold are sons of the Winters
Just then, the bell in the preschool rang.School was over.A group of four-year-old children ran out happily.Dew raised her finger and sneered. “Your daughter's coming out. She looks exactly like you when you were a child.”She made it sound as if she had seen Melody countless times ......“I'll always remember how my two sons died four years ago. One day, I'll make you pay with your blood.” Adina grabbed Dew by the collar. “If you dare to hurt my daughter, I'll scrape the flesh off your body piece by piece!”The hatred in her eyes was so strong like an endless fire.Dew’s heart tightened for a while.She forced herself to calm down and said, “I'm your sister and the child’s aunt. Why would I hurt her?”She moved out of Adina’s grip before she took a step back and coldly said, “I didn’t prepare a gift this time, so I won't say hello to your daughter. Goodbye!”After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.She only had one purpose for today's visit, which was to
However, he found that Melody’s face was expressionless, while her eyes looked gloomy.It seemed like the word “daddy” had just been a hallucination.Melody had never even said "Mom." Why would she say "Daddy"?He must have heard it wrongly.After dinner, Adina helped Melody take a bath and cleaned up before she put the little girl to bed.Ever since Alden turned three and became more mature, she no longer had to help him with such matters. After she took care of Melody, she returned to the study to continue working.Her studio was in its preparation stage, but she already had two projects on hand. One was Xavier Corporation’s daily maintenance and subsequent update of intelligent products, while the other was the initial design preparation for Project A-F. The latter project required a lot of manpower, but she was having trouble with recruitment. It seemed that she had to look for her cousin for help.She remained busy until midnight.Adina did some stretches before she got re
