The car that had hit Harold the other day was actually part of a planned accident.The police and members of the Winters family had searched for him in the city, but the driver’s car had fallen into the moat. By the time they discovered him, rigor mortis had set in.The police were highly concerned about the case, and they were still searching for clues.“My son was kind and timid. He would never go and harm someone! It’s her! She gave my son a lot of money and instructed him to commit the crime! My poor son! He died just like that!”The police interrogated the woman sternly. “You mentioned that Ms. Daugherty went to see your son. When exactly did it happen, and where was it?”“It was at about 9.00 pm, right in front of my house.” The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and cried. “I didn’t see her, but my neighbor saw her.”The police looked at Adina. “What were you doing at about 9.00 pm that night?”Adina chuckled. “I was on the phone with a pianist, Mr. Albert. You can check
Adina just remained silent when she heard Mdm. Daugherty’s muttering.Dew and her led two different lives. She would never be able to live peacefully with Dew.She opened her mouth and softly said, “Grandma, I met a boy the other day. He said that he was Dew’s—” Crashh!A loud crash suddenly came from the second floor. Broken glass pieces were scattered around, and some fell from the second floor to the lawn in the courtyard.Adina frowned. “What happened?”However, Mdm. Daugherty seemed to be used to it. “Whenever Dew loses her temper, she throws things. I wonder who made her angry this time. Addy, you quarrel with Dew whenever the two of you meet. It’d be better if you don’t stay for dinner.”Adina nodded. She stood up, walked over, and raised her head slightly. She could see Dew’s room.She furrowed her brows with dissatisfaction before she slowly walked up to the second floor.Meanwhile, Dew was not holding back. She raised her hand and threw a vase beside her to the floo
Then, she sent him a voice message.“George, my friend sent me this video. The middle-aged woman in the video is the mother of the culprit who hit Harold. If the culprit’s mother is telling the truth, then Adina has to be behind it!”That morning, George had a course to attend.He was reading a book in his study when his phone started vibrating.He narrowed his eyes and looked at it, spotting Adina’s name.Perhaps Harold was too invested in Adina. Perhaps Adina had a grudge against their mother. Perhaps it was because of other reasons. Whatever it was, George was highly interested in everything that was related to Adina.Previously, he would never answer any call or text message from Dew whenever he was working or studying.This time, however, he tapped open the message, and the video automatically played.After the video finished playing, Dew sent him another voice message. “George, Adina did this. You have to get justice for Harold!”George pursed his lips and attempted to t
When George heard Dew’s voice, his frown deepened. “I’ve seen it.”“George, Adina has made her move on Harold, and you’ll be the next. We can’t just sit and wait for death!” Dew gritted her teeth and said, “You have to think of a way to chase that b*tch, Adina, out of Sea City!”When George heard the term “b*tch”, he felt disgusted.He did not know why he felt that way.He took a deep breath. “Mom, stop it.”“What?” Dew was stunned.“I said, please stop before you go too far. It’s obvious that this video is self-directed. If I can see it, Dad can too,” George said coldly. “If you still want Dad to have a good impression of you, please don’t get involved in this anymore.”Dew instantly clenched her fists.Did her plan, which had been carefully constructed, get exposed so easily? How was it possible?How could it be?George, I didn’t direct that scene. My friend sent me the video.” Dew still wanted to give it one last shot. “George, you’re smart. Why would I lie to you? I r
When did he say that he wanted to treat Adina to a meal?However, since Harold had mentioned it, he would appear stingy about paying for a meal if he denied it.Duke nodded and nonchalantly said, “If you’re free, please come to the Winters family villa for dinner.”As soon as he said that, Adina noticed a bright glint in Melody’s eyes.She still had not figured out why her daughter liked Duke so much.After Melody called Duke “Dad” the other day, she no longer spoke.Adina actually hoped that Melody could spend more time with Duke, but she was also worried that if they spent too much time together, Melody would keep calling him “Dad.”At that time, she would feel awkward.When Mr. Brown noticed how silent Adina was, he thought that she did not want to go, so he immediately spoke to help. “Ms. Daugherty, the chef bought some fresh prawns and crabs early in the morning. He even bought some chicken to make some chicken soup. I guess the soup should be ready by now. Having some chi
Dew was furious.She was the young masters’ mother in the Winters family. She was the future mistress of the Winters family. How could Adina replace her and stand beside Duke?Why was she the one being kicked out?“Ms. Daugherty, the young master has just recovered, so he can’t go through an emotional episode. Please leave for now.” Mr. Brown bowed slightly while he advised her respectfully.Dew looked at Duke.That man did not look at her at all.If she continued to stay there, it would make her more embarrassed.When Dew thought about it, she turned around and left, while Mr. Brown quickly followed her.Adina turned around slightly and stared at Dew’s back.Mr. Brown was unexpectedly respectful toward Dew as if he was facing his master.But Adina also could not be bothered with it.She bent down, carried Harold, and gently said, “Harold, it was wrong of you to act like that.”After Dew left, Harold transformed from a furious lion cub to an obedient kitten. He blinked and
Alden slowly sized the Winters family up before he pursed his lips and asked, “Uncle Duke, is Harold’s brother at home?”“He’s at the office. He’ll be back later,” Duke said nonchalantly.Alden nodded. He walked up to a book rack, took a book, and flipped through it.Adina, on the other hand, glanced at the kitchen. The servants were preparing to cook, so it was crowded there. It would be better for her to cook the pasta later.She casually sat down on the couch, but she realized that Duke was sitting across from her.Two of the kids were upstairs, while Alden was reading a book. Only the two of them “had nothing to do” in the living room.Adina felt awkward for some reason.She glanced around before she saw the piano at the corner of the living room. She finally knew what to do. She smiled faintly and asked, “Mr. Winters, can I play the piano?”Duke nodded indifferently. “Yes.”He stared at Adina in surprise. Did this woman also play the piano?Adina walked over.She presse
“Mel, don’t you like Barbie dolls either?”Harold looked troubled as he frowned.Guessing Melody’s thoughts was even harder than solving a mathematics question.He sighed. “Let’s sneak out and play. We can’t let Dad find out.”Melody obediently went downstairs with him.Harold held her hand and passed by the bottom of the stairs.Just as they took a few steps, Melody stopped moving.Compared with playing the slides, she preferred playing the piano.Mr. Albert had given her new homework yesterday, and she had yet to practice.Therefore, the little girl swung Harold’s hand away and sat in front of the piano.The elegant sound of the piano echoed.Harold’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Mel, you can play the piano. It sounds awesome! I’ve never heard such a melodious song.”The sound of the piano finally broke the awkwardness in the living room.Duke turned around.A girl in a pink dress was sitting at the piano next to the staircase.She sat up straight, and her long, fair fingers pre
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,
