It was only after Adina carried Melody to the lobby that she sighed in relief.

The little girl let go of her neck, and she looked self-blame and guilty.

“Mel, tell mommy why did you come to Winters Corporation?”

Adina asked in a low voice.

However, the girl looked dumbfounded as she widened her eyes. She could not say a word.

Adina sighed. “You just need to shake your head or nod. Did anyone bring you here?”

Melody shook her head.

“So, did you come here on your own?”

Melody nodded.

Adina pursed her lips.

She wanted to ask why Melody would go there, and she also wanted to ask how Melody knew the place.

But Melody did not speak, so it was useless even if she asked.

She stroked her daughter’s hair. Only then did she realize that Melody had changed her clothes. When she left the house, she had worn a pink dress, but she was wearing a loose long-sleeved blouse and pants now.

Besides, when she arrived at Duke’s office just now, it seemed like Melody had just stepped out of the s

    Forget it. They were business partners, so she had a lot of chances to make it up to the man in the future.Adina placed Melody in the back passenger seat before she drove to the police station and dismissed the case. Then, she went to the preschool to pick Alden up.“Mdm. Daugherty, I’m really sorry! We were too careless. I’ll surely keep my eyes on Melody next time. This will never happen again!”Ms. Jones apologized with a guilty expression.Adina knew that she could not blame the preschool completely. She held the kids’ hands and softly said, “Alden, Mel, you have to listen to the teacher, okay? No matter where you want to go, you have to tell Ms. Jones. You can’t sneak out alone again. Understand?”Alden nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of Mel.”Melody innocently widened her eyes before she nodded.Ava’s heart melted. “Melody is really adorable. Okay, wave at me. We’ll see each other tomorrow.”Melody obediently raised her arm and casually waved.She was autistic

    Over in the Daugherty family, Dew had sprained her ankle, so she was working in the study in the afternoon.Adina had suddenly returned, so she had begun putting all her efforts into dealing with Adina some time ago. It made her neglect a lot of work as a result.Adina was coming for her aggressively. If she did not work hard, she would possibly be replaced by Adina.After dinner, Dew continued amending the documents.It was Daugherty Corporation’s tender proposal. The bidding party was an old business partner that Daugherty Corporation had been working with for more than a decade.This hardcopy was just a formality, and Daugherty Corporation would get the tender in the end. Dew had always managed such simple projects because they were easy wins.Once she succeeded, she would be the project’s biggest contributor.Dew leaned on her chair and checked the tender proposal for the last time. When she roughly read it, there was really no problem.However, she saw the document on he

    When some sounds of coughing rang out, a few female staff members in the pantry were so shocked that they trembled.As they slowly turned back, they saw Adina standing behind them with the ghost of a smile. Clearly, she heard what they had just said.At that moment, they felt extremely fortunate for not talking smack about Adina.If Dew heard them discuss her like that behind her back, they would get fired.“Miss… Miss…” The female staff members stammered. They did not know how to address Adina.Aaron was Mr. Daugherty, and Dew was Ms. Daugherty, but how should they refer to Adina?“Why don’t you call me Ms. Daugherty?” Adina smiled faintly. “I’ll be the Sales Department’s manager later on.”After she said that, the female staff members looked at each other in confusion.They had also heard about the bet between Adina and the shareholders.Boyd Corporation was a multinational conglomerate. They always collaborated with foreign companies and never chose the local ones.Daugh

    Dew had a headache due to all of Aaron’s nagging.The project did not fail because of her. Why did he let her take the blame for everything?“Isn’t it just a client? Winters Corporation is worth ten small clients like that,” she said impatiently.“The project with Winters Corporation only starts after three years. Don’t bring it up again!” Aaron paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He frowned and said, “Oh yeah, how’s it going with Boyd Corporation? Today is the second day. Has Adina looked for the person in charge of Boyd Corporation?”Dew massaged her forehead. “When I came to the company this morning, I heard that Adina was here too. I don’t know why she was around.”Aaron tapped on the table and coldly said, “If she really can secure the contract with Boyd Corporation, I might give her another chance.”When Dew heard that, she was shocked.Give Adina another chance?What did he mean?Would he really let Adina work in Daugherty Corporation?If Adina joined

    Her assistant became good-spirited. “Yes, Ms. Daugherty. I’ll get it done now.”……Adina took the accounts and went back to her studio.It was the accounts that Daugherty Corporation prepared for external parties, and it had been done flawlessly. Taking a brief glance, you would not spot any mistakes at all.She took a picture of the accounts and sent it to Flint. [Find the loopholes in the account in three hours.][Addy, I’m a Finance graduate. Isn’t it too much to ask me to look at the accounts again?][This isn’t an exam question. It’s Daugherty Corporation’s accounts. There will be a prize if you find the loopholes.] After Adina sent the text over, she did not pay attention to it anymore.She turned on her computer and started writing some code.The A-F project was actually not complicated. It just mainly consisted of several indirect points in the design. If she did not sort them out, she would fall into the mundane, and the product would overlap with current products on t

    Adina held a small leather bag and walked into Daugherty Corporation. The people around her cast a strange glance at her.“Ms. Adina has just gotten a share of Daugherty Corporation, but she’s going to be kicked out of the Board of Directors now. What a poor lady.”“She’s not poor. She spoke arrogantly without thinking about the situation, so it’s just backfiring on her now.”“It looks like Ms. Dew is more suited to manage the company. Ms. Adina should just be somewhere else where she’s meant to be.”“Did you forget that Ms. Dew ruined the tender project yesterday?”Adina pretended as if she did not hear the murmurs.She walked into the elevator and headed to the meeting room on the top floor.She stood in front of the meeting room and glanced around. Great, everyone was there.The moment she took a step in with her high heels, Mr. Lawson sneered. “Adina, you didn’t secure the contract with Boyd Corporation, so you don’t have the qualification to attend the shareholders’ meetin

    Everyone was also curious about why Boyd Corporation would choose to collaborate with the Jones family.Adina glanced at everyone in the meeting room with her beautiful eyes before she tapped open her phone and played a recording.“Mr. Arison, the internal situation in Daugherty Corporation is actually terrible. The superiors there love to frame big clients, and they like big companies like yours. If you sign the contract with Daugherty Corporation, it will bring an unestimated loss to Boyd Corporation.”When she played the recording, people in the meeting room were lost.However, as it continued to play and the recording reached the part about the defamatory behavior of Daugherty Corporation’s superiors, everyone in the room looked angry.“That’s absolute nonsense!” Mr. Lawson slammed the table and got up. “Adina, where did you get that recording from?” Adina seemed nonchalant. “You have to ask Dew.”Everyone looked at Dew at the same time.Dew bit her bottom lip in disbelief

    Dew’s explanation seemed extremely hilarious now that there was Mr. Arison’s Instagram post.Mr. Arison was the CEO of Boyd Corporation’s Sea City branch, and he was also the person whom many businessmen in Sea City wanted to seek connections with.A person with such a status would not collude with Adina to make a fake Instagram post.Everyone in the meeting room looked at Dew with a more judgmental gaze.“Ms. Dew, does this mean that you really sent your assistant to lie to Mr. Arison about Daugherty Corporation’s reputation?”Dew clenched her fists tightly. She let out a long sigh and said, “I didn’t… My assistant did it on her own. It has nothing to do with me…” It was a weak explanation.Mr. Lawson and Mr. Porter, who were the biggest shareholders, revealed disappointment in their eyes.“Even if my assistant didn’t treat Mr. Arison to a meal, Boyd Corporation would still never collaborate with Daugherty Corporation.” Dew grasped at the last straw and said, “You can’t blame

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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    “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.
