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
