“Mr. Sunderland, welcome to our company. Sorry for not receiving you downstairs. Please, come in.”Mr. Roberts grinned as he walked over. He appeared respectful and humble.When Trent saw the group of people that suddenly surrounded him, he was a little dumbfounded.He was the general manager of Sunderland Corporation. This building belonged to Sunderland Corporation, and there was also a floor devoted to his office.Therefore, he thought the people around him were also staff members of LaStar Technology Corporation.He dared not offend the staff members under Adina either.So, he nodded politely. “Has she reached the office?”When he threw them the question, Mr. Roberts was taken aback.She? Who was she?Who was he referring to?Was Mr. Sunderland asking if the distant relative of the staff’s cousin was there? Mr. Roberts kept signaling at his secretary.His secretary took the hint, so he turned around and went back to the office. He got ready to ask the staff to summon
Trent held his waist, and he was in so much pain that he kept gasping.He had expected this to happen, but he was still frightened when he was lifted and thrown to the ground.He looked really pitiful.“Are you okay, Mr. Sunderland?” Mr. Roberts immediately went over and helped him up. “Your waist must be injured. There’s an ointment in my office. I’ll help you apply it.”When Trent heard that his waist was injured, he became so furious that his expression darkened. “Your waist is injured! Your whole family has injured waists! How dare Adina do this to me?! I’m not done with her!”He uttered that last sentence just to gain some respect for himself.He supported his waist as he stood up with difficulty and limped into the elevator.“What the heck just happened?” Mr. Roberts said in confusion.“Mr. Roberts, didn’t you see? Ms. Daugherty threw Mr. Sunderland to the ground just now, and he’s livid!” his secretary said with a stern expression. “Mr. Sunderland from Sunderland Corpora
Once school was almost over, the kids in the preschool began to carry their bags as they waited for their parents to pick them up.Ava was maintaining order, so she did not hear her phone vibrating.Right then, the dean walked inside. “Alden, Melody, your father’s here to pick you up.”Alden immediately frowned.Melody speedily turned around as well.“Mr. Cooper.” Ava immediately walked over and said in a lower voice, “Alden and Melody don’t have a father. They are from a single-parent family.”Mr. Cooper was stunned. “That can’t be. Their father’s waiting outside.”Ava stroked her chin.She could vaguely remember Alden’s mother mentioning that they did not have a father.Why did their father suddenly show up?“Mr. Cooper, let me bring the kids out and have a look.”Ava then held them in each hand.Alden frowned but obediently went out because he wanted to see who was claiming to be their father.Conversely, there was a glint in Melody’s eyes.Her glazed eyes were bright
The calm voice of a man rang out behind her.“Ms. Daugherty, why are you leaving in a rush?”Tyson slowly walked over.Adina could feel a venomous snake crawl up from her ankle, and it was extremely terrifying.She softly said, “Alden, bring Mel into the car and lock the doors. I need to deal with something.”Alden obediently helped Melody into the car. He closed the car door only after he raised his hand and took a photo of Tyson.Adina took a deep breath and turned around.“You’re Mr. Osborne, right? Let’s go to the side and talk,” she said coldly.She took a few steps to the side. She did not want Alden to hear the conversation between her and this man.This man was terrible. He was not worthy of being Alden and Melody’s father.Tyson cast a glance at the kids who were sitting inside the car.The boy was obedient and well-behaved, while the girl was beautiful and adorable.They were his children!It was unbelievable!He had easily found information about Adina on the I
Alden moved the mouse and clicked on all the news.The news generally painted Tyson as a good entrepreneur who loved his wife and child.That night, five years ago, in the Grand Emperor Hotel… This man claimed to be his and Melody’s father.Had Alden made a mistake?The brilliant Alden started to doubt himself.He should have done the paternity test last time.Daylight came later in the late autumn. When Adina woke up, it was already 7.30 pm.The lighting in her room was dim, and some sunlight only shone in when she drew the curtain to the side.She then stood on the balcony and gave Ava a call.“Ms. Jones, the man from yesterday isn’t Alden and Melody’s father. If he visits the preschool again, please don’t let him approach the kids.”Ava naturally gave Adina her word, and she sighed in relief.Next, she would have to look for a lawyer.She would not admit defeat in this battle.Adina took a deep breath and inhaled the cold late autumn air before she began to get ready.
Adina smiled indifferently. “Everyone wants to marry him? So, would you also like to marry Duke? Aha! If your husband hears what you’ve just said, I wonder how he’s going to react.”Sophia’s expression instantly darkened. “Don’t try to create rumors!”“If you can start a rumor, why can’t I?” Adina chuckled. “I can just add something to it.”Sophia was so angry that she almost fell down.When she saw someone in her group chat mention that Adina had hooked up with Duke, she became so filled with rage that she almost fainted. On top of that, there were photos as evidence. All the women in Sea City had a desire to become Mrs. Winters, and she was, of course, no exception.But she knew who she was, so she only dared to dream about it.If her husband found out that she dared to think about another man, he would probably get himself a few mistresses to cause her trouble.Adina glanced at Sophia before she walked into Ethan’s office in her high heels.She did not care about the gossi
Adina placed her glass down.Since Tyson had hired the best lawyer in Sea City, she would find the most outstanding lawyer in Central City.As long as she had money, nothing was impossible.Adina knew nothing about lawyers. She found the number of a law firm on the Internet, so she called over to inquire.“What? He hired Victor Jenkins as his defense attorney? I’m sorry. No lawyer in our law firm can survive three rounds with Victor. Please look for other experts.”Victor Jenkins was Ethan’s friend.“Isn’t there anyone better than Victor Jenkins?” Adina asked calmly.“Of course, not! He’s the best in the industry. He established the biggest law firm in Sea City in his early twenties. I’m a fan of his. Oh, if there’s someone who can compare to Victor, it would be Brenden Watson. Do you know Brenden Watson? He’s a bigwig of the legal industry who always stars on the law channels. His silver tongue is legendary. I guess Brenden’s the only one who can defeat Victor.”Adina’s eyes i
Adina was squished by the crowd, and she did not have a chance to move forward to approach him.It was too crowded.It was impossible for her to meet Brenden this way, let alone ask for his help with the lawsuit.Adina just watched as Brenden entered the building.While she thought about it, the phone in her pocket rang. She glanced at it and noticed that it was an unfamiliar number from Central City.She pursed her lips and answered the call.“Ms. Daugherty, I’ve already hired the most famous lawyer in Sea City, Mr. Jenkins, for the lawsuit. You can communicate directly with my lawyer if there are any issues.” Tyson’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Oh yeah, Mr. Jenkins told me parents have the right to visit their children. In other words, I have the right to visit my kids anytime. I’ll go and pick them up from preschool tomorrow. I’m just informing you in advance.”Adina held her phone, and her chest heaved heavily from anger.Tyson was determined to steal th
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,
