Meanwhile, she had used Harold to win the trust of the Winters family.That woman was such a conniving b*stard. He had to be on guard against her.…… Adina picked up the kids and went home.While she was cooking in the kitchen, she received a video call from Harold.“Aunt Adina, why didn’t you come and visit me?” She heard Harold’s weak voice. “I’m alone in the hospital, and I’m so bored. Can you come and keep me company? I want you to read me a story…”Adina waved the spoon in her hand. “It’s too late today. I’ll visit you tomorrow and also bring some chicken soup that I made for you.”“You’re the best, Aunt Adina! You’re my favorite person!”Adina smiled faintly. “You should rest now. Don’t stay up too long.”“Aunt Adina, could you please give me a goodnight kiss.”Harold pouted at the phone screen. His head was still wrapped in gauze. When he made that gesture, he looked pitiful but hilarious.Adina chuckled as she kissed the screen and hung up.She brought the soup s
Digion Technology was an online media company.Rumors of its bankruptcy had spread two years ago. After it was purchased, it unexpectedly rose to the top of the Internet industry all of a sudden.However, most information about the company could not be found online.Adina glanced at the available information on Digion Technology before she nonchalantly asked, “What time is the appointment?”“At 2.00 pm in Peninsula Coffee.”After Adina finished her work in the morning, she drove to Peninsula Coffee.She arrived ten minutes earlier and ordered a cup of coffee. Then, she started to read some information online.She looked up the company again but still could not find anything. Even the family name of the investor was also hidden.She could tell that this company had a strong backing.She just did not know why this company would have its eyes on her newly established studio.Adina waited for about five minutes before she heard some footsteps outside the private room.She smooth
After she read the contract, she closed it and calmly asked, “Kid, who drafted this contract?”“Our young master did it,” Liam answered, “Ms. Daugherty, if you think there’s no problem with it, the contract will be effective once you sign.”Adina chuckled.She was beautiful. Whenever she smiled, the corners of her eyes would curve upward, adding to her charm and coquettishness.Nevertheless, her gaze was clear, and her beauty was both pure as well as bewitching.When George saw her smile, the coldness in his heart seemed to disappear little by little.Realizing that he had stared at Adina for a few minutes, he instantly became irritated.This woman must have bewitched his dad and Harold with the same smile.“I think there’s a problem.”Adina stopped smiling and slowly spoke.She leaned forward slightly while she exerted an oppressive aura.She stared at George, and her pink lips were filled with contempt. “You should study in school when you’re at the right age to attend it.
After Adina picked her kids up, she drove to the hospital.“Aunt Adina, you really came to visit me!” Harold was bedridden, but he was so happy that he wanted to jump off the bed. “Wow! Mel, you’re here too! I’m so happy!”Adina immediately walked over and pressed him down. “You’re still receiving an infusion. Don’t move.”Harold immediately lay down obediently. He looked at Adina for a while before he stared at Melody and kept smiling in a silly manner.His head was still dressed with gauze, and there was a faintly visible blood stain.He was receiving an infusion, so the back of his hand was bruised. Clearly, he had been receiving the infusion for the whole night.Alden pursed his lips. He walked up to the bed and took down the medical record book that was hanging on it.When he extended his arm, Harold was shocked. “What-What are you trying to do? Aunt Adina’s here. How dare you still bully me?”Alden found himself speechless.He waved the medical record book in his hand. “
Oh gosh! Was he really stupid?Adina could not help but laugh.Alden was always very reserved. He never showed off his high intelligence.Yet. he had purposely boasted about his intelligence to Harold today. Clearly, Alden treated Harold as his family.Alden hated Harold not too long ago, but why did he suddenly accept Harold?Adina stared at Alden as she tried to figure something out from his expression.Alden felt very awkward because of her stare, so he got up and said, “Mom, I’d like to go to the restroom.”He pulled open the door and walked out before he hit someone, who was standing nearby.George had been there for a long time.Before he pushed open the ward door, he had heard some happy laughter and chit-chatting from inside.He did not have to go inside to know that Adina was present.He had to admit that this woman’s voice was as gentle as the rain in spring. No wonder Harold was deeply fond of her.He had set this woman up yesterday, so not wanting to meet her fa
Through the gap in the door, George could see that Adina was peeling an apple for Harold.The atmosphere in the ward was too warm. George pursed his lips and decided not to go in.He could feel that Adina was sincere toward Harold, at least at that moment.He turned around and was about to leave when he noticed that Dew had arrived outside the ward.“Mom, why are you here?” George asked in surprise.Dew stared at the scene in the ward for a long time before she looked away.She held George’s hand and spoke in a low and cold voice. “It’s not suitable for us to talk here. Let’s chat outside.”George nodded and got into a car with Dew.“George, you saw it yourself just now. Your dad is actually okay with letting Adina take care of Harold alone. If she poisons Harold’s food, he’ll…” Dew covered her lips. “Harold hates me, and he doesn’t want to see me in the ward. Otherwise, I would’ve rushed inside and chased Adina out.” George looked up and calmly said, “Adina won’t poison Haro
“Mom, calm down!”George pressed her shoulders down and spoke in a deep voice. “I’m still investigating this. I’ll make the person behind this pay the price!”Dew’s lips trembled, and she finally became quiet.No matter what, she had to plant this incident on Adina.It was the only way to get Duke to take action against Adina!Adina finally took the two kids home after she stayed in the hospital until 8.00 pm.By the time they finished washing up, it was already 9.00 pm. Melody fell asleep obediently, and Alden returned to his room.He was always independent, and he would do everything on his own.While he was brushing his teeth, he heard some alarming sounds from the laptop underneath his bed.Narrowing his eyes, he held the toothbrush with his teeth while he knelt in front of his bed to take the laptop out.He had assembled that laptop, and all its performance configurations were top-notch. His mom knew of the laptop’s existence and did not allow him to use it again.There
George suddenly turned around and saw Duke’s black eyes, which contained hidden anger.“Don’t tell me you’re doing this for your mom’s reputation again.”The man’s voice was cold, and it echoed in the small room.George pursed his lips without answering.He just wanted to figure that woman out. However, he unexpectedly encountered his rival, and things just spiraled out of control.“Tell me. Why are you trying to deal with LaStar Technology Corporation?” Duke stared at George and asked coldly.Although the codes on the screen had flashed by extremely fast, he had still been able to catch the website’s address.His son, whom he was always proud of, had actually mounted a sneak attack on the website of a newly established studio.George lowered his head and clenched his fists.He gritted his teeth, but he did not say a word.“Your hacking skills are some of the best worldwide, and less than ten websites in the country can defend themselves from your attack,” Duke said sternly.
