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
She leaned back in her chair as she waited.However, she noticed Duke frown before he hung up the phone unhappily.She chuckled and said, “He refused to apologize, didn’t he?”Duke’s expression turned cold.“Intelligent children have their own minds. They refuse to accept the world’s way or submit to anyone,” Adina said in an understanding manner. “Not everyone is as obedient and mature as my son, Alden. Mr. Winters, you better put more effort into educating your son.”Duke was speechless.Obedient? Mature?Was she really describing that cunning boy, Alden?“I’ll bring him here to apologize to you in person.”After Duke said that, he took the document from the desk and left.Adina shrugged as if she could not be bothered.It was normal for kids to make mistakes. She was very tolerant of that.She would be fine as long as they did not make the same mistake again.After Adina clocked off work, she went to pick her kids up from their preschool.Then, she took them to a hot
“Mr. Albert, didn’t you want to take in a student? I recommend my daughter, Melody, to you,” Adina smiled faintly and said.When Mr. Albert heard that, he felt surprised. “Adina, I want to take you in, but not other people. Even if it’s your daughter, I won’t make an exception.”“Why don’t you let her try?” Adina said, “There’s still an hour before you leave Sea City. It’s enough for you to listen to a song.”Mr. Albert stared at Adina in a serious manner.He had known Adina for about four years, and he knew that she would not speak without thinking.Even though she knew about his status, she never flattered or tried to please him. She had even refused to be his student.No other person like her existed in this world. Mr. Albert finally nodded. He stared at the little girl with a gentle gaze and said, “You can play any song. Don’t be nervous.”There was a piano in the hotel suite.Ever since Mr. Albert turned thirty years old, he would hold piano recitals all over the world e
Melody handed Mr. Albert a cup of tea, and that wrapped up the ceremony.From that moment on, Melody had become Mr. Albert’s second student.“I still have recitals in the neighboring country. Once my tour ends, I’ll bring you to meet your senior. He’s also an excellent pianist.” Mr. Albert felt satisfied as he said, “I’ll give you this piano, Mel. I still can’t personally guide you for now, so let this piano grow with you.”Adina was shocked. “No way. This piano is too expensive.”“Is this expensive?” Contempt flashed in Mr. Albert’s eyes. “Its strings were made by machine, so there are some distortions in the sound. The strings of the piano that Mel’s senior is using were made by me, and its tone is clearer. When I have the time, I’ll make a piano for Mel. This piano will work temporarily.”Adina was speechless.The top-tier piano in her eyes was a mere backup piano for Mr. Albert.Alright, they would just use it for the time being then.She stroked Melody’s head. “Aren’t you
