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 sunlight from the setting sun shone in, and the room glowed with orange light.Adeena stood by the window as she looked out the window and indifferently asked, “What would you like to say to me, Mr. Winters?”“I’ve seen the news online, but please believe me. It’s definitely not what the Internet says.”Duke’s voice was husky, and he spoke seriously.Adeena did not expect him to go straight to the point. She initially thought that he would be avoiding it.She turned around with an indifferent smile and said, “I was curious, so I searched for Mdm. Winters’ photos. Then, I realized that we look really alike. Mr. Winters, how do you explain that?”Right after she spoke, Duke became silent.He had encountered dozens of projects that cost tens of billions of dollars, yet he could handle them without any difficulty and a single frown.But he did not know how to explain the current situation.Could he say that she and Mdm. Winters were actually the same person?If he told her th
Had she misunderstood?She turned around, looked at Brady, and softly asked, “Brady, do you know how Daniel and Mr. Winters are related?”Brady had been involved with people from Winters Corporation recently, so he had naturally heard some things.“Mdm. Winters was the daughter of the Jones family, and she’s also Daniel’s sister. Mr. Winters should be Daniel’s brother-in-law.”Boom!Ruth’s mind was instantly blown.She suddenly went weak in the knees and fell on the couch.“What’s wrong?”Brady immediately went over to help her up.“I… I’m fine.”Ruth massaged her head.All of a sudden, she understood what was happening and instantly pieced everything together.Adeena was likely Mdm. Winters, hence the reason Duke would fall in love with her at first sight.It would explain why Daniel rushed over too.If Adeena was truly Mdm. Winters, the Winters and Jones families must have been sparing no expense to find her for four years.If the two big families from Sea City learned
At 9:00 pm, their flight landed at the airport in Cloud City.The Willis family did not know that they would be back that night, so they did not arrange for anyone to pick them up.Ruth looked at Adeena with a complicated gaze. “Are you going to return to the Willis family or…” Adeena raised her arm and stopped a car. She helped Ruth put her suitcase in the trunk before she nonchalantly said, “I’ll go back to my own place. Be safe.”Ruth bent down and got into the car.For the first time, she noticed Adeena taking good care of her.Their relationship had not been close over the four years, but when Ruth thought about it, Adeena had always accommodated her.It was because the Willis family had abducted her using the excuse of life-saving grace.In Adeena’s heart, the Willis family had saved her life.In reality, the Willis family members were killers.Ruth suddenly trembled.If Daniel discovered everything, her relationship with him would be doomed.No… The truth was, Danie
Adeena raised her voice and spoke.Adeline slowly looked over and instantly recognized Adeena.She was only part of the working class, so she had a very strong impression of people like Adeena, who seemed rich at first glance.She moved her lips to speak but could not say anything.She had been crying for so long that her voice had become hoarse.If Grapie had not shielded her at that critical moment, she would have been the one lying in the ICU now.She had just adopted Grapie not long ago, but they had grown very close as mother and daughter.Even though Grapie’s fate remained unknown, she refused to leave.She just kept sitting there.When Adeena saw how she looked, her eyes became teary for some reason.She turned around to hide her tears. She also wanted to see that little girl.Through the glass windows, she looked at the previously agile and active little girl who was lying on the hospital bed. Her body was full of infusion tubes as she lay there in undetermined condi
Grapie had experienced a hemorrhage, so 400ml of blood was insufficient.However, the nurse dared not withdraw more. “Ms. Willis, are you okay?” she asked carefully.Adeena felt a little dizzy and had trouble sitting up.She supported her head with one arm, took a forced breath, and said, “I’m okay. Continue withdrawing the blood. Saving Grapie is more important.”The nurse made up her mind and withdrew another 200ml.A total of 600ml was sufficient. If any other accident happened again, more blood would need to be withdrawn.The nurse softly said, “Can I get your contact information? If there’s a problem with the follow-up treatment, we might have to contact you for another blood donation.”Adeena gave out her phone number straight away.She pressed down the cotton wool and stood up, but she suddenly felt dizzy and fell on the chair again.The nurse quickly gave her a cup of sugar water. “Drink it all at once and lay down on the bed for a while. Don’t rush to leave.”A fit y
