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
The screen was full of comments like, “I can’t accept this sadness.”When the host saw the audience overreacting, he smiled to smooth out the situation and said, “Have you forgotten? Ninian just said that she wanted to announce some good news!”His words reminded everyone at the venue.With that, almost everyone held their breath and listened to her.“Everett and I will be holding a wedding soon!”“What?!”“Ah! Awesome! The day has finally come!”“Sob! Ninian and Everett finally have a happy ending! I’m going to cry! They’re my youth! I’ve witnessed love that has gone the distance!”“You have my blessings! You have to be happy for the rest of your lives!”Their cheers grew louder and louder, almost overturning the whole award hall.Everett was standing backstage. When Ninian saw the scene, she turned back, looked into his eyes, and smiled.They were finally getting married.The eighth of September was a good day for their wedding.The headlines in the entertainment section
The Winters family fell silent again.Among the three sisters-in-law, Lana was already so moved that she wept. Raina and Nerola were stronger, but their eyes turned red too.The Winters brothers, who were initially touched, instantly appeared dissatisfied as a result.They were actually moved and crying for other men? Women, you were playing with fire!Naturally, the Winters brothers did not have a chance to vent their anger because Duke had already stood up.He walked to the similarly outstanding young men, who were standing side by side, and patted their shoulders. At this moment, he seemed to age a little. He did not look like the overlord who dominated the business industry in the past.“From now on, I’ll leave my two babies to you.”When Brooklyn and Everett heard this, they were taken aback, but their eyes were soon filled with excitement.Before they could respond, Duke had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Adina got up abruptly to accompany him.She turned back and l
“Uncle Duke,” Brooklyn and Everett greeted Duke at the same time.Brooklyn was older, so he moved a step forward first and said, “Uncle Duke, this is something that I prepared three years ago. All properties under my name, including shares that aren’t limited to the family business, properties, estates, stocks, etc… were transferred to Mel three years ago. Whether in the past or in the future, everything I have, including my life, will belong to her.”Melody was shocked when he said that.All his properties had been transferred to her? He never mentioned anything to her. He just silently gave her everything.“Daddy…” Melody looked at Duke, and her clear gaze was filled with helplessness which was rare.Brooklyn was the only person, other than her family, who was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Such love that was enthusiastic, reserved, hidden, yet deep and long-lasting made her heart seize.George took the documents from Brooklyn and passed them to Duke.Duke flipped t
At the same time, Alden replied to her.“Daddy and Mommy are just in the next city. The journey will take two hours.”Melody was speechless. She was right!There was murderous intent on the indifferent and delicate girl’s face.Good! Great! She wanted to see where her father could hide this time!When Ninian came out after putting her makeup on, it was still early. There were still two hours before the ceremony’s banquet.There was still half an hour left before her father came home. At this time, Melody secretly called Everett and Brooklyn to come over. They were fully prepared, and they just waited for Duke to return home.At the side, George, Raina, Harold, Lana, Alden, and Nerola were watching the show.After the Winters sisters worked hard, the three of their sisters-in-law were successfully bribed to support them to get married as soon as possible.Even the three of their henpecked brothers also took their sides.Now, the Winters siblings had everything ready. They we
Her words were audible in the live stream, and they instantly caused a big fuss.[Ninian has a kid!][Is “the Everett” a dad now?][Sob! I knew that they secretly got married!][How could they not live broadcast my husband and wife’s wedding?]The comments on the screen kept moving, while Ninian was clueless on the other side.She just said, “It’s our baby. Please make the necessary arrangements, thank you.”The comments became more frenzied.[?][!]A series of symbols occupied the whole screen. After Ninian hung up, they were still rolling.The netizens were worked up.By the time the venue’s staff realized this, it had become the top trending topic.[#The Everett and Ninian secretly got married!][#Baby Ninian has a kid!][#The Everett is a father now!]Crazy, screaming fans filled the bottom of the screams.The couple had been together for so long, and the fans had gotten used to them from not accepting them at the beginning.After all, Ninian grew up quickly befo
There was also “as long as a woman had a stable job and strong support from her family, she would be happy and relaxed even if she stayed single for her whole life.”She could go on.Besides, what was more cunning about Duke was that he would never post the quotes using his own account. He would use his wife’s, Adina’s WhatsApp, to post inspirational quotes and links every time.In the beginning, it caused the Winters siblings to panic for a time, and they thought that their mother opposed their marriage.They sighed in relief only after Alden unintentionally hacked his father’s account. He realized that his father had found the posts and forwarded them to his mother before posting them using his mother’s phone.It was fine. It was normal for the father-in-law to trouble his sons-in-law.It was the same theory as the mother-in-law having conflicts with her daughters-in-law.However, the roles changed in their family. It was the father who was being antagonistic toward the daught
Reverie’s smile was sincere and genuine.She initially helped Ninian only because she thought that Ninian was great. Besides, Ninian said she wanted to rely on herself before the casting, which also impressed and moved her.Unexpectedly, she gave herself an opportunity with her unintentional act. That made Reverie feel blessed and surprised.Hearing what she said, Ninian felt warm and comforted.Everyone thought that the entertainment industry was filthy and full of schemes.In reality, there were many people who pursued their dreams and worked very hard there. There were also many people who helped and supported each other.When there were people, there would be competition, but there would also be warmth and sincerity.Ninian filmed her scenes in an orderly manner.As for the Winters siblings, their relationships also developed smoothly.George had happily begun preparing for his wedding. Raina was not a pretentious person either, and the couple had discussions about how the
However, to the surprise of those haters, Ninian, who was acting for the first time, not only did not drop the ball on any of her performances in the Oscar-level mission, but she also managed to portray her own charm and personality in the character very well.From her gentleness and firmness at the start to the grandeur during the protest to her enthusiasm and passion even when captured by the enemy and taken to the execution ground, her character arc represented the experiences of countless revolutionary predecessors.She had absorbed the spirits of many ancestors into her body. Seeing her alone demonstrated the bravery and unstoppable power of Cairnstan’s youth.Before she was executed, she looked at the rising sun and showed a gentle and firm smile.In the end, gunshots rang out, and her body dropped to the ground. However, the sun rose all the way and illuminated the earth.Numerous people were moved and went wild at the scene where she smiled. It was not until everyone’s e
“What? What turn of events?” Nilson immediately asked. “We have defenders!”“Defenders? What defenders? Are you talking about soccer now?” With wide eyes, Nilson asked.“No, not those types of defenders! What I mean is that someone stepped in and is explaining on Ms. Winters’ behalf! But it’s not one of our people. It’s defenders from outside!” explained the staff. “What?” Nilson immediately stood up. “Let me see!”The staff quickly handed the phone over to him, and the website page on the screen kept on refreshing. [@ActressReverieWood: “I’ve worked with the Winters family’s little princess before. She has a lovely personality. She’s soft-spoken and well-behaved, and she has no temper at all. What surprised me the most was her acting skills. She was a rookie who was full of presence, and she could easily blend into the concept. Most actors, including myself, admire someone as talented as her.]A few short clips were attached under the tweet, all of which were from the show,
