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
George silently sighed in relief by his side.……After Adina picked up her kids, she drove to the Xavier family’s mansion.There would be a family gathering in the Xavier family's mansion every Friday. As such, Adina purposely chose to go over on Thursday.Only Mdm. Xavier and Ethan would be there. Dinner was ready in the dining room when she got there.“Great Grandma, Uncle Ethan.”Alden held Melody’s hand and walked inside before he greeted them obediently.Mdm. Xavier stroked the kids’ heads and smiled at them lovingly. “Alden is looking more handsome by the day, and Mel is also getting prettier.”“Grandma, please don’t compliment them too much,” Adina said helplessly. “Alden used to be a reserved boy. But ever since he joined preschool, his teachers, classmates, and other parents have been complimenting his good looks. He’s become very proud now.”Alden blushed. “Mommy, I’m not proud.”“Yeah, you’re not proud. You just flaunt your handsomeness more shamelessly!” Adina lau
Dew was holding Duke’s arm.It was her first time attending a banquet with Duke.She had looked forward to this for four years, and her wish finally came true tonight.She knew that George must have talked to Duke. Hence, this man had brought her to this important business banquet.She had purposely dressed up for tonight.She was wearing an $ 800,000-worth ocean starlight dress with Chanel’s new limited edition diamond necklace. Besides, the leather purse in her hand was also custom-made and unique in the world. Her outfit was destined to make her the most dazzling woman in the banquet.Dew raised her chin to receive compliments from everyone’s gaze.Everyone in their circle knew that Duke rarely attended any business banquet. Even if he attended one, he always came alone.It was their first time seeing Duke attend with a female partner.Daugherty Corporation was also quite famous in Sea City. Besides, there had been some news not long ago. Many people in the hall recognized
