Mr. Porter added, “Adina holds a big portion of company shares, and she also just secured such a big project. She’s qualified to be the Sales Department’s manager. I have no objection.”“I don’t have other opinions either.”Most of the people in the meeting room agreed, and it was not possible for Dew to salvage the situation.Aaron was not happy about Adina’s arrogant demeanor, but ultimately, Adina had still helped turn the tables for the company.With the Boyd Corporation project, the company did not need to worry about its income in the next six months.He tapped the table indifferently and said, “Okay, we’ll let Addy be the Sales Department’s manager. The current manager of the department will be your assistant.”“Thank you, Dad.”Adina smiled obediently and sat down.When Dew saw that, she became so mad that she gnashed her teeth violently.She kept holding herself back, but anger continued to fill her heart.She finally could not take it any longer. She suppressed her
A dozen pairs of eyes were filled with anger as they stared at Dew.She did not expect this to happen today.She had purposely hired professionals to prepare the accounts for the Finance Department. How did she get discovered?It was Adina!When this b*tch just returned, she took half of her shares, and now, she was forcing her to step down from the position of general manager!She was the one who wanted to chase that b*tch out of the shareholders’ meeting today!Yet, why was she forced to resign from the general manager position in the end?Why did that b*tch keep going against her?Dew’s fingers were shaking.Her lips turned pale, and she was trembling. “Adina purposely faked the accounts to set me up. I didn’t do this.”“Dew, since you think that I purposely set you up, fine, let the police investigate it.” Adina faked a smile. “Do you dare to call the police?”Dew’s complexion lost all color, and she fell on her chair.Everyone understood the situation when they saw Dew
That brat already left Sea City. Why was he still haunting her?She pursed her lips. “Okay, I’ll accept it.”Mr. Arison flashed her a relieved smile. “Ms. Daugherty, Mr. Morton is a bit unfaithful, but he really cares about you. I think you can consider being his girlfriend.”“Hey, Mr. Arison, isn’t this just a project? I don’t have to give myself to that b*stard, Flint, do I?”Mr. Arison laughed. “I’m just giving you a suggestion. The decision is yours.”Adina rested her chin on her hand at a loss for words.She had introduced Mr. Arison to Flint, and as a result, the executives of Boyd Corporation acknowledged Mr. Arison. Since then, he had been successful in his career.It was also the reason why Mr. Arison was willing to collaborate with Daugherty Corporation.However, if she knew that Flint was waiting around with a bouquet of flowers, she would not have asked Mr. Arison for help.While Adina and Mr. Arison chatted happily, someone kept staring at her.George was sitting
When George saw Adina coming over, he casually got up and left.After he took two steps, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it, and the caller ID was [Mom].He pursed his lips like Duke before he picked up the call.Just as he pressed the answer button, sounds of sobbing came from the other end of the line. “George, I’m doomed. I’m totally doomed.”George frowned. “Mom, please speak slowly. I’m listening.”“Adina set me up. I’ve been forced to resign from the position of Daugherty Corporation’s general manager, and I’ll never be able to join the Board of Directors!” Dew cried and yelled. “I’m Daugherty Corporation’s heiress and the company’s second biggest shareholder. I don’t want to accept that. George, help me. You have to help me.” George frowned even more. “Why would this happen?”Why had a big shareholder of the company been forced to quit the Board of Directors for no reason?He slowly asked, “Mom, did you do anything to anger the Board of Directors?”“I… I…” Dew mental
She felt like she had seen a similar expression somewhere.She got rid of the strange thoughts from her mind before she squatted down and gently said, “Okay, go ahead and ask.”“Why are you dealing with the Daugherty family?”George spoke resolutely. Every word from him was as sharp as the edge of a knife.Adina was totally stunned.The child was her savior, so she was ecstatic when she met him.However, her happiness faded away at that moment. Only then did she notice that his gaze was full of coldness when he looked at her.It was not the gaze that a four-year-old kid should have.She pursed her lips and questioned him with a straight face. “How do you know about the Daugherty family?”“Dew Daugherty is my mother.”George’s voice was cold, and his tone was extremely distant. His gaze became much more hostile.He was very calm, but Adina felt like she had been struck by lightning.Flash!She was shocked.She moved her lips, and her voice was a little hoarse. “You’re Dew’
After he parted ways with Adina, George went to the hospital.Dew was bedridden, and she looked extremely dispirited.Only after she saw George walking in that her expression improved slightly. “George, I know you’re a good boy. I’m really happy to see you visiting me in the hospital. The luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life is giving birth to a mature and obedient son like you.”She held George’s hand and kept caressing it.George felt uncomfortable. He calmly moved out of her grip and indifferently said, “Mom, please don’t think about the company. Just rest well.”“How can she not think about it?” Ruby said coldly as she sat by the bed. “George, your mother has been kicked out of the Board of Directors, and Adina has successfully joined the company. In a few days, Daugherty Corporation will become Adina’s property. Once that happens, it will be meaningless no matter what we do! It wasn’t easy for her to give birth to you after a ten-month pregnancy. She has been ter
Dew opened her eyes wide and nodded. “George, I love your father as well as you and Harold. I want to become a part of the family with you. But your father never wants to look at me. I’m really afraid that he’ll marry another woman and give you a stepmother. I’m scared that your stepmother will abuse you and treat you unfairly. I’m also afraid that your stepmother will treat you so nicely that both of you will forget me as your biological mother.” Those were Dew’s real thoughts.She spoke while she cried, and her expression was that of sorrow.“Dad has wasted five years of your time, and it’s really his fault. I’ll talk about this with Dad today.” George stood up and slowly said, “Mom, please rest well and wait for the news.”After he spoke, he walked out of the ward.Dew looked incredibly surprised. She grabbed Ruby’s hand and excitedly said, “Mom, did you hear him? George wants to talk to Duke for me. He’s really smart, so he must have a way to convince Duke to marry me.”“Duk
Duke walked into the villa, and Mr. Brown immediately went forward to take his briefcase.“Sir, Young Master Harold is in class, and Young Master George just came back.”Duke nodded. He put on some slippers, went upstairs, and entered the study.While he had just returned from the company, he still had to handle many things.As soon as he pushed open the door to the study, he saw George sitting on the couch. He was clearly waiting for him.“Dad, are you free to talk?” George raised his head and asked indifferently.Duke nodded. “What do you want to talk about?”This son looked like him the most. He was just four years old, but he was already growing to be an excellent heir.He kept putting up with Dew mostly because Dew had given him such an excellent heir.“I want to talk about Mom.”As soon as George said that, Duke’s expression became cold.He loosened his tie impatiently. “Why do you want to talk about her?”He did not want to hear anything about that woman.“Dad, I kn
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,
