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.
Adina smiled and cleaned up the mess on the server.While she was busy, Serene walked in. “Ms. Daugherty, someone from Winters Corporation called over and asked if you’re free later at 11.00 am.”Adina nodded. “Why?”“Someone from the company wants to come over,” Serene said. “I’ll book the meeting room then.”Her company’s first business deal was the project with Winters Corporation, and everyone in her company knew how important it was.Adina nodded. “Print out a few copies of the proposal that we previously amended and put them on the table in the meeting room.”Serene immediately proceeded to do it.Adina flipped through the document and read up on Project A-F again. Once she had an idea in mind, she got up and went to the restroom.Just as she walked out through her office door, she bumped into a bunch of people from the company next door.It was an Internet start-up company. The company had been established two years ago, and it had about thirty staff members. Its develo
“Mr. Winters, this way please.”After Serene snapped out of her daze, she immediately led Duke into the meeting room.Adina was reading the document in the meeting room. When she heard the noise, she smiled faintly and stood up. “Mr. Winters, please have a seat.”Duke pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, Serene immediately went out to get some coffee.“Why are you here alone, Mr. Winters?” she asked in surprise.She thought that Mr. Garcia would tag along, or Duke would come with Trent and Eilam. She did not expect Duke to be there by himself.Duke raised his eyebrows indifferently. “Why? Do you want to meet Trent?”Adina was speechless.Could this man speak nicely?She sat in her chair and pushed the document over. “This is the direction of the new design, which I set after my previous discussion with Mr. Garcia. Mr. Winters, please take a look and give your comments.”But Duke did not flip the document open.“I’m not here to talk about work today,” he said stoically.“W
