One should never compare themselves with other people.

However, it was the third time Adina had heard her son ask about Harold’s brother.

“Alden, why are you asking about him?” she inquired curiously.

“Harold’s always saying that he has an incredible brother, so I’ve been wanting to see how great he is,” Alden answered nonchalantly.

Adina could not help but chuckle.

Alden was usually very mature, which always made her think that he was a grown-up.

Alden would only show his childish desire to win when it came to such matters.

“If there’s a chance, I’ll arrange for the two of you to meet,” Duke said as he drove. “George is a genius, and you’re not any worse. If both of you chat, perhaps you can help open up a new perspective for each other.”

Alden pursed his lips and said nothing else.

But Adina became more curious about George.

……

George asked his assistant to send him home after he finished working on his last case.

It was 3.00 pm, and the villa was silent. Only the rustlin

    George’s dark gaze suddenly froze.Melody was Adina’s daughter?“But Mel likes to be with Alden more. She just loves Alden. I wonder when Mel will consider me as her brother.” Harold wore a sad expression and sighed.George felt troubled as he asked, “Her own brother?”“Obviously he’s her brother!” Harold glanced at George again. “George, didn’t you investigate Aunt Adina? How come you don’t know that she has two kids?”George fell silent.He had done a background check on Adina, but the information did not reveal that Adina had kids.In other words, Adina protected the two children really well, so information about them could not be found publicly.It was the same way his dad protected Harold and him.So, the boy he had previously met outside Harold’s ward was Melody’s brother?That boy looked like he was four years old. Was he Melody’s twin?Just like Harold and him?“Mel is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. Her eyes are gorgeous like black grapes, and her face is l

    George stared at the Barbie doll in his hand and stoically replied, “What do you mean by ‘what should I do?’”“Your dad vented his anger on me for the sake of a little b*stard. He even banned me from going to the Winters family villa again. George, your dad also threw out the piano that you bought for me. That was your gift to me. How could your dad be so cruel? George, I’m so sad and frustrated. I don’t know what to do. I feel helpless…” George frowned.For some reason, when Dew called Melody a “little b*stard,” he felt angry.He pursed his lips and coldly said, “If you hadn’t hurt Mel, Dad wouldn’t have gotten angry at you. There has to be a reason for everything. Mom, you better reflect on your actions a little more.”“But I didn’t slap that little b*stard. I didn’t even touch her finger.”“Mom, you’re a lady, but you keep saying ‘little b*stard.’ Where’s your elegance? Where’s your temperament?” George’s voice was filled with mockery. “Mom, you better spend more time practic

    “Dew, about what happened four years ago, I won’t ask you for the reason. I just want to ask you, do we still have a future?”Dylan Houghton’s eyes were filled with affection as he caressed Dew’s shoulders.His hands were warm, and that made Dew’s heart pound really fast.Ever since she set her sights on becoming Mrs. Winters, she had never gotten into a relationship with any other man. It had been four years since she last slept with a man.The man rubbed her shoulders, slowly stirring the desire in her heart.She licked her lips. “Dylan, we won’t have a future.”“People always say that we should cherish the present moment instead of asking for eternity.” Dylan stared at her, and his voice was bewitching. “Will you let me own you for a moment?”Dew completely fell for him.She could not wait for it.The feeling of sleeping with a man from four years ago filled her heart, and her cheeks became flushed.Dylan chuckled. “Dew, I’ll love you and take care of you. Don’t be afraid.

    Her heart subconsciously skipped a beat.She looked away before she pretended to be calm and said, “My company website was attacked and infected previously. I think there are still some remaining viruses that I haven’t cleaned up. Let me get rid of them first.”She calmly operated the computer.However, for some reason, the computer, which would usually be under her control, refused to obey her instructions today.The video on the screen was simply unbearable.Even though Adina was a calm person, she could not stand looking at the screen. She just narrowed her eyes and pressed any key at this point.Who would have thought that the scene would suddenly enlarge? The voices also became louder, which made the room… “Ms. Daugherty, you invited me to the study to watch this video?”It sounded like Duke was teasing her.He leaned forward.Adina was shocked. “What… What are you doing?” This man’s desire had not been triggered by the erotic video, had it?“Ms. Daugherty, your meth

    Adina initially did not want to go.She would take her children out every weekend and put work aside.“Mom, I’ll look after Mel. You can relax and go ahead.” Alden smiled faintly. “Please come back early.”Melody was practicing the piano obediently, and Adina really did not have to worry about her.She caressed her children’s heads and changed before she left with Duke.As soon as the car disappeared from the entrance, Alden went upstairs and took out the laptop that he had hidden under the bed.He opened a social media webpage. When he logged in, he found that he had received many messages.The messages had been sent by K, and they were all filled with nonsense.Alden tapped on the keyboard and quickly sent K a sentence. [Uncle, last year, you mentioned that you wanted to form a studio of hackers. How did that turn out?]K: [A hacker studio without you would be soulless, so I gave up on the thought.]Sir Daugherty: [I agree to join.]K: [Damn! Have you finally made up your

    Trent clicked his tongue.If Duke had not fallen for this woman, he would have pursued her.Unfortunately, he was no match for Duke.Oh no, it should be said that he was no match for this woman.Many people looked at them, and there were also some murmurs.“Mr. Winters is becoming more and more handsome. I wonder which lucky lady in Sea City is going to marry him.”“Stop dreaming. Can’t you see that the most beautiful woman in Sea City has already taken Mr. Winters’ heart? He’s a man, and men have bad habits. When they see a beautiful woman, they won’t walk away.”“Sigh! I’m so disappointed in Mr. Winters. He’s the man I want to marry the most, but he’s unexpectedly so superficial.”“I’m disappointed in Mr. Winters too.”When Trent heard those words, he laughed out loud.If the beautiful women in Sea City were disappointed in Duke, it meant that he stood a chance!Duke’s expression turned slightly dark.Whenever he attended such occasions, countless women would comment on h

    When cold wine flowed down Adina’s throat, she finally felt better.Duke also coincidentally returned following his conversation on the phone, so Adina started to operate the simulation system.“After the sports car is installed with this smart system, it will reach the realm of human-vehicle unity. Before the driver reacts to road conditions, the system will intelligently switch driving modes… Cough!”Adina’s throat felt a little hoarse, so she took another sip of the wine.She spoke for a while before her body was suddenly filled with abnormal heat.Was the room too hot?But she only had a dress on, so she should not be feeling that hot.“Ms. Daugherty, why do you seem unwell?” Trent blinked. “Should we just end here for today?”Adina could feel her forehead becoming beaded with sweat.She pursed her lips and said, “I have to visit the restroom first. Please give me a few minutes.”She got up and left the private room.As soon as she stepped out, there was a huge wave, so

    It should not take that long to go to the restroom.“Duke, you better go and look for Adina. If you’re late, you’ll mess it up!” Trent gestured dramatically with his hands.Duke looked at him coldly. “What did you do?”“I made a glass of wine for Ms. Daugherty. I added something good into the wine.” Trent flashed him an ambiguous smile. “It’s a booster that you can’t even buy with money. I’ve done you a great favor. How are you going to thank me?”Duke’s gaze instantly turned dark.He took the wine glass that Adina had drunk from and smelled it. His expression soon changed.He poured the wine on Trent’s face before he turned around, pulled open the door, and walked out.“Hey! Are you insane?” Trent immediately wiped the wine off his face. “Eilam, has he lost his mind? I put so much effort into helping him, but he dared to do this to me. What the heck?!”Eilam rolled his eyes. “Can’t you see that Duke’s pursuing Ms. Daugherty seriously? Now that you’ve done this, it looks like D

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “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.
