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
[Ms. Willis, if you don’t reply to me, I’ll have to visit you in the Willis family’s mansion.]There were even a few phone calls between the text messages.She did not answer any of them.She had a feeling that Daniel might want to ask some questions that she was not willing to answer.At this time, she just wanted to avoid it all.“Ruth, what’s wrong?” Jada walked over and softly asked.Ruth raised her head and looked at her mother.Four years ago, her mother had worked down to the bone to save her. She looked much older than other rich ladies her age.Her mother had only started to dress up and slowly look the way a rich lady should look after she completely recovered.Even so, the rich ladies in Cloud City were nothing compared to the rich in Sea City.The Willis family did have a high status in Cloud City, but if either the Winters family or the Jones family did something, the Willis family would be completely doomed.“I’m fine.”Ruth stood up and tidied up her clothes
“I heard that you’ve been in poor health since a child,” Daniel took a sip of the tea and asked softly.Ruth’s fingers trembled. He even figured that out.It looked like it would not take a long time for him to find out about Adeena.Should she wait until he figured it out or should she take the initiative to tell him everything?Even if she told him everything, it would not change the fact that the Willis family had caused the death of Adeena’s baby.“I heard that you nearly died four years ago. Luckily, the Willis family found a blood donor. Only then did you survive, right?” Daniel continued asking.Ruth clenched her fists, raised her head, and asked, “Why are you looking into my past?”Daniel looked at her quietly. “What do you think? Why am I looking into your background?”Ruth’s heart trembled.She was just a young girl in her early twenties, so she could not bear being questioned like that.All kinds of ideas crossed her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t k
It was that big family. The Willis family would never compare even if they worked hard for hundreds of generations.The Willis family was envied in Cloud City, but there were always much better families out there, and the Winters family was clearly the better one.“Ruth, you’re not talking nonsense, are you?” Jada asked in a trembling voice.Ruth shook her head. “It’s true! Adeena’s biological brother is in Cloud City now. He’s investigating the Willis family! He knows that I’ve had poor health since I was young, and he also knows that I received a big surgery four years ago. He’ll find out that Adeena also had surgery. When that happens…” Jada’s fingers instantly became stiff.At that time, the Willis family would be doomed. They would instantly become trash of the lowest level in Cloud City.Just then, Kendry came back.He frowned. “What’s wrong with the two of you? What happened?”When the family’s backbone returned home, Jada calmed down. She took a deep breath and said, “
The night grew darker.Someone knocked on the presidential suite’s door again.This time, Kendry slowly walked in after Duke’s room door was opened.It was already 2:00 am.If Kendry had not personally experienced it, he would not dare believe that someone had the ability to make a listed company disappear overnight.He initially wanted to stubbornly resist, but Willis Corporation was losing $10,000,000 every minute.At this point, Willis Corporation had nearly become an empty shell.If this went on, Willis Corporation would no longer exist by the time the sun rose tomorrow. Everyone in the Willis family would even owe a huge amount of debt.Duke was tapping on his laptop.He raised his head indifferently. “Mr. Willis, please have a seat.”He was very polite and gentlemanly, but his actions were terrifying.Kendry dared not say a thing. He just sat down in a seat far away and asked, “Mr. Winters, do you want to know about my foster daughter?”Duke closed his laptop. “It loo
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,
