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
The person walking in was Adeline.She was holding a breakfast set and was a little taken aback when she saw the people in the ward.“Adeline, you’re here.”Adeena sat up with a smile and greeted her.Adeline dared not walk inside. The tallest man in the ward was emanating a cold aura, and the children did not seem easy to deal with either.She stroked her nose awkwardly and said, “I made some chicken soup last night that will replenish your blood levels. I brought this over just for you. Please drink it while it’s warm.”Adeline took out the chicken soup and put it on the table.Adeena had only eaten a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, so she did feel slightly hungry. She lowered her head and drank some of it. “Thank you, Adeline,” she said with a smile.She paused for a while before she resumed. “How’s Grapie?”At the mention of the child, Adeline became extremely excited. “The doctor said that if she could regain consciousness in twenty-four hours, she would be officially out
When they returned to the ward, Pete had already arrived.The moment he saw Adeena, his eyes opened wide. “It’s really you! I thought you died…” Halfway through his sentence, he could feel Duke’s cold gaze.His words died in his throat, and he impatiently said, “Let me hypnotize you and recall your memories.”Adeena had waited for this day for a long time.She had always wanted to know who she was over the past few years in Cloud City.She did not know where she came from, so she had no idea where to go.Adeena was very cooperative with Pete, so he successfully hypnotized her in less than ten minutes.If someone had purposely suppressed her memories, it would be very difficult to recall them.However, if her memory loss had been caused by physical factors, hypnosis could help.Since Adeena was totally open, the whole process was unbelievably smooth.The hypnosis ended in less than an hour.Adeena slowly opened her eyes, and there were five faces in front of her.Duke Wint
