“Oh no, I completely forgot about him...”Seeing the look on her face, Duncan hurriedly asked, “Who is it? Who’s still opposed to you and Everett getting together? Tell me, and I’ll give them a piece of my mind.”“You won’t be able to settle him, Duncan,” Ninian lamented. “That person is my dad.”“Your dad?”‘The business legend of the last generation, Duke Winters?’Duncan almost choked. Oh boy. He really could not deal with that man. Duncan immediately deflated. It was better for him to just leave Everett to deal with his father and mother-in-law when he got better.He decided to back out of this.Alden was nearly finished deciphering all the files acquired by Everett.The targeted location was a small town in Umerica.The other party had a professional team that specialized in researching this type of harmful chip in order to profit vastly. They were severely affected as a result of Adina’s incident, but they were not completely destroyed. Instead, they managed to s
Alden’s words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the secret room. Duncan was the first to stand up and asked, “What other way?”Ninian showed her eagerness as well, and even Everett, who had always been stoic, looked over.“George, my eldest brother, just called,” Alden explained. “He said that my parents had been conducting a study for years.“Now that the preliminary research has been successful, perhaps we can actually extract the implanted chip inside Everett’s body.” As soon as his words were out, Duncan’s face flushed with excitement. “I didn’t hear it wrongly, did I? What did you say? Can we remove the implanted chip in Everett’s body?!”“Alden? Is that true?” Ninian’s eyes were filled with disbelief as well. Everett’s expressions were a lot calmer than those two, but there were still unconcealable emotions swirling in his eyes.But he still remained composed. “Alden just said there’s a possibility, so we can still try it, but don’t set your expectat
“Stop crying, Grapie. I’ll help you solve all of your problems. My little princess must be happy at all times!” While stroking Ninian’s soft long hair, he expressed his distress. Ninian responded with a little whimper and nodded. “All right, don’t cry. There are so many people watching.” Adina laughed gently. “You’ll end up with an ugly face if you don’t stop crying.”Only then did Ninian come back to her senses. ‘Oh right! There are so many people watching.’She emerged from Adina’s arms flushed, her face red, and she was slightly awkward to meet everyone.Standing at the side was Everett, who had tidied himself up nicely. “Mr. And Mrs. Winters!” He walked over and politely said.Duke turned to face the source of the sound, and his gentle gaze sharpened in an instant. While releasing a degree of pressure, he asked, “So you’re Everett?”“Yes, Mr. Winters,” Everett said calmly, matching his gaze.“I heard you involved Grapie in an accident last time, causing her to lose her sp
“Grapie.”Adina acted quickly to stop her before she shook her head at Ninian.Was this silly girl afraid that her father would kill Everett?Ninian felt anxious, but she did not move forward again. She kept staring at Duke and Everett, as if she would immediately rush forward as long as there was a conflict between them.When Duke saw that his beloved daughter already changed sides and was taking the side of another man, he felt jealous, and his expression only became colder.Everett broke out in cold sweat because of Duke’s aura, but he still straightened his back and refused to admit defeat.He raised his head and looked into Duke’s eyes. His gaze was firm and sincere.“Mr. Winters, I guarantee you that I will not let Ninian get hurt again.“Nobody can hurt her, including me.“What happened before is my fault, and you can punish me in any way you want. If this kind of situation happens again, I’m willing to pay with my life.”Every sentence of his was sincere. Although it
Duke’s cold and tough expression did not reveal any further emotions, but he gripped Adina’s hand with such strength that Adina felt the pain.She knew that he was feeling regretful and remorseful. The unbearable past used to be their nightmare.Luckily, they had already awoken from the nightmare, and everything was over.“I want to see Rowan,” Adina spoke.Everyone raised their heads and looked at her. Their eyes were filled with surprise and disagreement.Duke even frowned and refused it. “No.”Adina turned back and looked at him with a tender and determined gaze. “I’m fine. I won’t fear the past anymore. I want to meet Rowan because I want to understand some information about the group behind the smart chips. We’ve given our word that we would dig out all the darkness and break them into pieces completely.”Duke stared into her for a while before he compromised in the end. “I’ll go with you.”This time, Adina did not refuse him. She just nodded.Ninian looked askance at Eve
Melody’s words clearly explained what Duke meant.Ninian quickly found it awkward, and her face immediately turned red. She felt embarrassed as she glanced at her father and muttered, “Daddy, I’m sorry…” Duke snorted without looking at Ninian, but he ruthlessly glared at Everett.It’s all this brat’s fault for stealing his baby daughter’s heart.Luckily, he still had another sweetheart who understood him.Duke felt comforted as he looked at Melody, but she had already returned to her original position. She smiled and looked into Brooklyn in the eyes affectionately.Duke was speechless.He became angrier. He swung his sleeve, sneered, and said, “I don’t have the medication. Let Everett bear it on his own.”Ninian opened her eyes widely. Her clear eyes started becoming teary again.Adina did not know whether she should cry or laugh.She glared at Duke, who was angry at the kids, before she held Ninian’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve brought back the medication. We will let
The man’s figure was slim and tall, and his expression was cold yet calm. The woman’s figure was slender, and she looked delicate and stunning. Her eyes were filled with tenderness after years of settling down.“You are…” Rowan narrowed his eyes and carefully identified the two of them. These two faces seemed to have dominated the business industry many years ago.Rowan’s pupils enlarged slowly with shock and disbelief. “Duke Winters? Adina Daugherty?”Duke looked indifferent, but Adina smiled faintly. She was extremely gentle. “I didn’t expect that people would still recognize us.”When Rowan saw them, his heart instantly felt clenched, as if he already lost control over something.“Why are you here? Did Ninian ask you to come and help?” Rowan asked before he resumed, “You care about your baby daughter so much, but you didn’t know that she would even curse her own mother for a man.”When Ninian heard it, her expression instantly changed. She angrily said, “Nonsense!”But Duke
Everett slowly walked inside. His expression was calm, and his gaze was indifferent.After he indifferently glanced at Rowan, he looked away and stood beside Ninian.As if Rowan’s presence was insignificant, he even ignored him and did not need to cast a glance at him.When Rowan saw Everett like this, his eyes instantly turned red. All his pretense immediately collapsed at this moment.He said in disbelief, “Why are you alright? How is this possible?”Ninian frowned. She stared at him with contempt and said, “I’ve told you that the smart chip inside Everett was already taken out by my parents, but you refused to believe me. You should believe me now, right?”Duke looked indifferent, while Adina’s gaze was faint and tender.“You’ve been fooled. Let go of your obsession and turn back.”“No way! This is impossible!” Rowan insanely struggled and wanted to rush toward Everett, but he could not.“I know! I know!” He started laughing. “This must be fake! You want to force me and mak
