[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
Four years ago, Alden had brought up the blood replacement treatment plan to him.Replacing all of Adina’s blood would remove the biochip from her body.At that time, Duke had found it too dangerous, so he had refused to go with it.Unexpectedly, she still underwent blood replacement by accident. So, Addy was normal and she would not act like she did four years ago, right?He asked in a deep voice, “How much blood did Addy lose back then?”Kendry thought for a while before he answered, “About 3000ml. Her blood type was incredibly rare. We collected enough blood only after we found ten people with the same blood type. That was how she survived.”Duke contemplated for a while.The human body had between 3000ml to 4000ml of blood. If she had lost about 3000ml of blood, she would have certainly needed to replenish it many times.In other words, all of Addy’s blood had been replaced.The effects she had suffered four years ago should have been cured completely.One could say that
Duke pushed the door open and walked inside.He slowly walked to the bedside, keeping the noise minimal.Perhaps Adeena could not sleep well in an unfamiliar bed, but she instantly opened her eyes.She looked blankly at the tall figure who walked in before she immediately sat up in bed. “Why are you here?”“I came to visit you.”Duke sat down beside her bed.When the faint morning sunshine shone on his face, his eyes appeared profound as if affection was hidden within.Adeena’s heart suddenly fluttered.She looked away awkwardly. “You must be really busy. Don’t waste your time on me.”“Do you know why I love you?” Duke looked at her and firmly said, “Because you’re not Adeena Willis. You’re Adina Daugherty.”“What?”Adeena was still slightly dumbfounded in the early morning.She stared at him in confusion. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”“Adina is Mdm. Winters, Ms. Jones, my wife, and the mother of my four kids.” Duke’s voice was low, but he spoke clearly.
It was actually not very difficult to look for news about Winters Corporation’s boss lady.Four years ago, there had been plenty of news about Adina Daugherty. Her title of the most beautiful woman in Sea City put her in the news no matter what she did.Adeena took her time to read the articles.The reporters had captured many discreet expressions and gestures in an instant.She realized that many of her own discreet expressions looked similar to Adina’s. They even drank wine the same way.She was increasingly convinced that she was perhaps Mdm. Winters.She fell for the man so quickly because of the love that had been etched in her body, right?Adeena closed her laptop and fell into deep thought.In less than ten minutes, Duke returned upstairs with a bowl of oatmeal.“It’s only 5:00 am, so many shops aren’t open yet. I just managed to buy a bowl of oatmeal for you. I’ll go downstairs and get you some bread later.”“Thank you.”Adeena lowered her head and slowly ate the oat
Just as something was about to happen, Adeena suddenly pushed the man away.She pursed her lips. “The doctor comes by during his morning rounds. I have to go back to the ward now.”She pulled the jacket around her tightly and hurried downstairs.Duke smiled faintly.She had feelings for him, but she just could not let go for the time being.It was fine. They could take it one step at a time.The two of them traveled down via an elevator.By now, the hospital was starting to come to life. Doctors and patients were walking across the corridor, and the noise of a busy day had begun.As Adeena approached the ward door, she heard some people speaking inside.“I’ve checked. This is the one.”“But Mommy isn’t here. Did she get an early discharge?”“Mommy’s bag is still here. I think she hasn’t left yet.”“Let’s go and ask the doctor.”Right then, she pushed the door open, and the four children turned back at the same time.Adeena was slightly surprised. “Why are you here?”“Mom
