A dozen dishes were laid out on the table, and the table was beyond maximum capacity.“Ruth, go down and buy some beers,” Adeena sighed and said.“Why should I be the one running about? You go.” Ruth was starving, and she could not wait to eat.“You wanted to drink, not me.” Adeena glanced at her. “Besides, I ordered dinner. It’s not going too far to have you buy some beer, right?”Ruth was suppressed by her aura, so she had to put on the jacket and went downstairs to buy beers.When a box of beers was put on the dining table, the two of them started having dinner.Ruth picked up the beers and drank half a bottle. When she blinked, her tears streamed down like water flowing out of the pipe.“Adeena, you can laugh at me now.” She ate lobster while crying loudly. “Daniel Jones is a jerk. He pursued me, then he abandoned me. Am I that easy to bully?”Adeena frowned. “What did Mr. Jones do to you?”The two of them were still very close previously. The plot twist should not have ha
Adeena pursed her lips. “There’s still another week before I start working in Winters Corporation, so it’s not a rush.”Ruth held the things in her hand tightly.Daniel had just cut off ties with her without any explanation. How could she be willing?She had to know who Daniel initially liked, so that she could put this matter to rest.After Adeena got ready, she directly went to the business office building in the center of Sea City.She planned to slowly translocate the company to Sea City, so before that, she had to buy a floor of office.Her company was established three years ago. Its scale was not huge, but it was not small either. There were two hundred staff, so the office had to be at least 2,000 square feet.“Miss Willis, you’re here.”The service assistant who was in charge of receiving her was extremely respectful.Adeena frowned slightly.When she had previously contacted this service assistant, he had not seemed to be this respectful.“Miss Willis, you’re here
Adeena walked over.The kids knew that it was useless to hide, so they obediently walked out with their heads bowed down.The three boys were wearing a gray casual outfit with a peaked cap that covered half of their faces.The girl was wearing bib pants, and a pair of bright, clear eyes peeked through her black fringe.“Why are you here?”Adeena lowered her head and asked them.The boys looked very tall, and their heights were nearly 1.5 meters. They should be considered very tall among nine-year-old kids.The girl was slightly shorter, but she was also at least 1.4 meters.The kids stood in front of her in a uniform row, and it was very peculiar.“We…” George did not want to lie, but he was unable to find a reasonable excuse. He hesitated for a long time without answering. Adeena had to open up the main point. “Did you do anything with the sudden 50% off for the office building?”“Aunt Deena, we just wanted to give you something.” Harold blinked and pitifully said.Alden
Duke slowly walked in, and by the time he got in, the whole sales office had been cleared. Even the service assistants had also disappeared.Adeena’s heart subconsciously pounded again.She reasonably suspected that she had some kind of heart disease. Why else would her heart always beat out of control?“This is the unit under Winters Corporation.” She heard Duke’s voice. “I can give you the whole building.”Adeena looked at him in surprise.She really did not expect a calm and restrained man like him to say something so impulsive.The market price of a floor in the building was about $60,000,000. There was a total of thirty floors, hence it would cost almost $2,000,000,000. Yet, this man just casually said that he would give her the building… Duke raised his arm and snapped his fingers.Then, the manager of the sales office lowered his head and cautiously walked over. “Mr. Winters.”“Have all the steps for change of ownership been completed?” Duke asked indifferently.The m
Duke carried her and put her down on the couch in the resting lounge.He knelt down and squatted in front of her. He took off her high heels, and his gaze became intense. “Your heels are broken.”The high heels had just been bought recently, and this was her first time wearing them. Every time she wore new shoes, they would eat into her ankles slightly, but she was already used to it.Just as she was about to say she was fine, she blurted out something else, “It hurts a little. Can you help me buy some Band-Aids?”Duke’s deep eyes were filled with excitement.Addy, who had been resisting him, had actually asked him to buy her something. Did this mean that they were much closer now?“Okay, wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute.”Duke got up and left the Sales Office.Adeena sighed in relief.She bent down and put on her shoes. Then, she grabbed her bag and ran away through the side door.Yes, she ran away.If she did not leave now, she doubted that she would be able to l
Her phone suddenly vibrated. She glanced at it and found that it was a call from Duke.She initially did not want to answer it, but leaving without informing him was really rude.She pressed the answer button and spoke first, “Mr. Winters, my cousin suddenly gave me a call. Something happened in my house, so I had to go back first.”After she spoke, she added, “Don’t come and find me. I really don’t have time.”She was going back to Cloud City tomorrow, and she still needed to pack her luggage today. Hence, she did not have the energy to deal with the man anymore.“Okay, have a safe journey.”Duke did not go after her again. He acted as a gentleman to let her hang up.Adeena leaned on the glass window and silently sighed.The cab stopped in front of the apartment very quickly, and she got out of the car after she paid. When she arrived home, she just locked herself in her room.She thought that she would move on from this after getting drunk last night, but she realized that s
Adeena turned on her laptop and speedily tapped across the keyboard with her slim and fair fingers.Over the years, her hacking skills had improved a lot, so some small problems were not difficult for her at all.As long as something used to exist online, she would be able to track it down.In less than five minutes, she found a photo of the most beautiful woman in Sea City and Mdm. Winters of Winters Corporation.“Gosh! This Mdm. Winters really looks exactly like you!” Brady said in disbelief.He took a look at the picture before he glanced at Adeena, and his gaze was filled with shock.Adeena observed the photo in silence.The woman in the photo had an indifferent gaze and thin red lips. She emanated a ruthless air.This woman did not just look like her, but they gave off the exact same aura.She suddenly understood why the four children in the Winters family insisted that she became their mother. It was because she resembled their mother.She even understood why Duke fell
Adeena smiled faintly.Addy?She was Adee.What a coincidence.She switched off her phone and continued packing her luggage.Suddenly, Ruth screamed, “Oh, God! Daniel’s here too!”Another white car stopped downstairs, and Daniel got out of it in a gray suit.He walked toward Duke, and his voice was dull and husky as he spoke. “Duke.”The simple greeting contained countless emotions.Duke patted him on the shoulder and softly said, “Addy refuses to meet me. Do you have any solutions?”Daniel took out his phone and called Ruth.When Ruth saw the caller ID that was flashing on her phone, her lips curled up.She knew that Dan would not ignore her.She only picked up the call after her phone vibrated for a long time. “Hello, who is it?”Her voice was indifferent, but a glint of happiness could be heard if one listened carefully.“I’m Daniel Jones.”His voice was deep and gentle as usual.Ruth had been haggard for two days, but she was instantly healed by his voice.She cur
