Elina walked out of the manager’s office with a dark expression.Queenie scoffed. “New superiors have new rules. She must have implemented her first rule on you, the former manager. Elina, if you want to stay in Daugherty Corporation, you can talk to me nicely. Perhaps I can help you beg Dew to let you continue working in the company.”Elina stared at her with a complicated gaze. “Aren’t you worried at all?”“Why should I be worried?” Queenie sneered. “I’m Dew’s best friend. No matter what I say, she’ll listen to me!”She had also been involved when Dew set Adina up that year, so it meant that she also held Dew’s biggest secret. Therefore, whenever she requested something, Dew would generally not turn her down.She stared at Elina arrogantly. “You always disrespected me when you were the manager. I’m a generous person, so I won’t remember your transgressions. If you apologize to me, I’ll call Dew now.”Elina’s expression darkened.Did she disrespect Queenie or did Queenie purpos
Elina immediately passed the performance charts over.When Adina flipped through the performance charts, she smiled coldly.The performance charts were divided into internal employee ratings and department leadership ratings, followed by department administration ratings.Queenie’s internal employee and department leadership ratings were not even 20%, but she scored 100% in department administration ratings.Every performance chart over the last two years was the same. The level of dishonesty was terrible.Did Dew think nobody dared to make a fuss over this, so she could be lazy about finding an excuse to fake the performance charts?“According to Daugherty Corporation’s rules, staff members will be fired if their performance remains poor for three consecutive months,” Adina said indifferently. “You can go to the Administration Department and get this month’s salary now.”Queenie widened her eyes. “Are you firing me? Adina Daugherty, how can you do this?”“I can do this based o
Dew’s eyes became profound, and she slowly curled her fingers.Aside from kicking her out of the Board of Directors, that b*tch, Adina, had also dealt with her friend!“Dew, everyone in the company is saying… saying that Daugherty Corporation will belong to Adina. They even said Adina’s more suitable to be the heiress compared to you.” Queenie gritted her teeth and added, “Unfortunately, I can’t continue working in the company, or else I would rip off the mouths that talk badly about you!”“I won’t let you get fired. Just wait.”After Dew hung up, anger filled her face, which was covered in exquisite makeup.“Adina, that b*tch! Her cunning mind is extraordinary!” Ruby had heard the conversation clearly. She slammed the table and indignantly said, “Dew, we can’t just wait and do nothing anymore!”Dew bit her bottom lip and said, “Mom, you think I don’t want to get some people to kill that b*tch? But George has sent some people to watch us. No matter what we want to do, he’ll find
She would not disturb Mdm. Daugherty? She was clearly forcing Mdm. Daugherty to choose a side!Would Mdm. Daugherty not know what Dew wanted?While she did not leave the house, she had briefly heard about Daugherty Corporation from the servants at home.There was a flash in her blurry yet witty eyes, and she slowly said, “I heard that you quit the Board of Directors and stepped down as general manager. That’s not directly related to Addy.”Dew choked.Without Adina, nobody would have investigated her embezzlement. Why was it not related to Adina?She gritted her teeth and spoke with grief. “Grandma, I know I made a mistake, so even if I get kicked out of the company, I won’t oppose it. But what did my friend do wrong? She’s been in the company for two years, and she found a lot of new clients for the company. But when Addy joined the Sales Department, she fired my friend. Isn’t she purposely trying to get at me?”“I believe Addy has her reasons for doing that. She’s the manager
In the circle of rich families, power and money could divide people into different classes.However, there was one circle that power and money could not affect; it was the circle of culture and art.The circle included illustrators, artists, violinists, and pianists for example… Once an artist like that appeared in any rich family, the family would surpass other families in its circle.Dew clenched her fist in excitement.George was paving the way for her, and he must be hoping that she could confidently marry into the Winters family one day.“Grandma, I understand. I’ll practice the piano.”Dew had a surprised look as she Mdm. Daugherty’s room.Ruby immediately stepped forward. “How did it go? What did your grandmother say?”Dew told her about the piano lessons, but Ruby frowned. “Why does this sound so strange? Is George really that nice?”“Mom, I’ve told you that George is very obedient to me. I told him that I wanted to marry his father, so he came up with this solution
“Hello, Madam, are you looking for a piano for your child? Will it be for the boy or the girl?” The shop assistant stepped forward enthusiastically. Adina let Alden hold Melody’s hand, while she followed the shop assistant to look for a piano.They were in the best piano shop in Sea City. The price of the cheapest piano was nearly six digits, and the expensive piano was nearly $1,000,000.Luckily, Adina did not lack money. But even if she lacked it, she would not want her children to suffer.When she was five, she had learned how to play the piano with Dew, and both of them had learned it for a decade. Although she had been neglecting her piano skills all these years, she still possessed some basic skills.Adina tried a few pianos in succession before she finally honed in on one. “This piano has a pretty tone, and its vibrato is especially perfect.”The shop assistant smiled and said, “You really understand pianos. This is our shop’s signature model.”“I have some knowledge. An
When Adina exited the piano shop, the children were already waiting for her outside while holding each other’s hands.When Alden saw Dew earlier, he immediately brought Melody out.The last time Melody met Dew outside their preschool, she had a nightmare, so he dared not let Melody meet Dew face to face again.“Mom, didn’t you buy a piano?” Alden raised his head and asked.Just as Adina was about to answer, her phone vibrated in her pocket.She glanced at the incoming call and looked a little surprised.This person had not contacted her for one year.“Mr. Albert, is anything up?”“I came to Sea City to watch a piano performance yesterday, and I thought about you. This is your hometown, right?” A haggard voice came from the phone. “Do you still remember what I told you a year ago?”Adina paused for a while. “I’ve lost my childhood enthusiasm toward the piano.”“You’re gifted at playing the piano. Why don’t you use that gift to the fullest?” Mr. Albert uttered some heartfelt wo
Duke frowned more. “Are you learning in the Winters family villa?”He clearly sounded annoyed.Dew took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she said, “You know that my grandmother’s sick, and she’s bedridden all the time. If I practice the piano at home, I’ll disturb her rest.“Besides, George found a piano teacher for me. I want him to supervise me during my piano lessons too.”After she spoke, she stared at the man, who was sitting on the couch, with a glint in her eyes.However, Duke did not look at her at all.He frowned and cast a glance at the piano.He rarely interfered with George’s arrangement. Even if he hated it, he would not say anything.Dew breathed a big sigh of relief.She was really worried that this man would ask her to move the piano out in front of everyone.If that happened, she would be totally embarrassed.At this time, George walked down from the second floor.He saw the piano, which had been placed in the corner of the living room. “Mom, what
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,
