Dew was a venomous snake. If she did not pay attention, she would be bitten.

Adina said, “We better let Harold eat in my house. I’m used to my own kitchen.”

Duke stared at her and calmly said, “What are you afraid of?”

Adina knew this man was brilliant and she could not hide anything from him.

She did not beat around the bush and just said, “We met Dew in the Winters family villa previously, and she nearly injured Mel. I don’t want to take the risk again.”

Duke suddenly broke into a faint smile.

He lowered his head and said, “Why do I feel like you’re jealous?”

Adina instantly widened her eyes. “Stop talking nonsense. Who’s jealous? When did you see me being jealous?”

“Okay, you’re not jealous.”

Duke shrugged.

Adina was speechless.

She was not jealous in the slightest! Why would she be jealous? Was this man not too narcissistic?

If she did not want him to do her a favor, she would have chased him and his son out!

    At 3.00 pm, Adina drove to the office building that she had visited yesterday.The building’s entrance was quiet today. Nobody was around. Only two security guards watched the entrance.As soon as she parked her car, a black car parked beside her. Duke stepped out after he pushed the car door open.Adina unfastened her seatbelt before she also got out of her car.The two of them walked toward the office building side by side, and nobody stopped them.Duke took the elevator and walked to an office in a familiar way. He raised his arm, knocked on the door, and directly pushed it open.“You really came to find me. I thought you were messing with me!” The man sitting in the office chair stood up. Before he continued, he saw Adina behind Duke. He was slightly surprised as he asked, “When did you get yourself such a beautiful secretary?”“She’s not my secretary,” Duke answered coldly.Adina smiled faintly and took a step forward. “Hi, Mr. Watson. I’m Adina Daugherty. Mr. Winters and

    “I have a son and a daughter. They are four years old.” Adina was honest. “I’ve raised my children alone for four years, and their father has approached me recently. He wants to take custody of them. Do I have a chance of winning?”Brenden tried very hard to suppress his shock.He initially thought that there was something between Duke and Ms. Daugherty. It looked like he had the wrong expectation.He pushed his glasses up and finally remembered that he was a lawyer. He schooled his expression and said, “Ms. Daugherty, please tell me everything about the kids, their father, and how you’re raising the kids at the moment.”Adina nodded and sat down across from Brenden.“Five years ago, because of an accident, I ended up sleeping with the kids’ father. Eight months later, I gave birth to my kids prematurely, and I brought them out of the country. I’ve been raising the kids alone over the last four years, and their father has never shown up. He has also never paid any child support. T

    Adina stayed in the law firm for about an hour.After she spoke with Brenden, she realized that the situation was not as optimistic as she had imagined.Tyson was the children’s biological father, and she had secretly given birth to them. The court would definitely favor Tyson in that regard.Besides, Tyson’s public reputation was of a good father and a good husband. He also had a stable family. That would be very advantageous in the lawsuit.Meanwhile, she was all alone. She had to juggle both work and the children. She would neglect a lot of things.If she were the judge, she might give the children to Tyson too without any inside information.At the moment, the only solution seemed to be marrying a man.As long as she had a stable family, Tyson would lose all advantages.If both of them stood on even ground, she would have a higher chance of winning.“If you have a stable relationship, the judge will take it into consideration,” Brenden slowly added. “Even though the case i

    He abruptly floored the gas pedal as he held the steering wheel and drifted aggressively.“Hey, have you lost your mind?” Brenden scrambled for the handle. “This is the main road. Drive slowly! Slowly! Ah!”The car charged down the road and quickly overtook Adina’s car.Adina frowned.Why was Duke speeding? Even if they arrived at the preschool right now, class would not be dismissed yet.Besides, there was a speed limit on the road. Was he trying to help the traffic police out with their KPI?A black car was parked outside Golden Sun International Bilingual Preschool. Ava was surrounded by a few people, and she dealt with them while she felt incredibly stressed. “Mr. Osborne, even if you’re Alden and Melody’s biological father, you can’t see them right now. We have to take responsibility for the children on their guardian’s behalf.” Ava took a deep breath and said, “If you insist on meeting the kids, please contact Alden’s mother. If their mother agrees, I’ll bring the kids ou

    “Hi, I’m Brenden Watson, Mdm. Adina Daugherty’s defense attorney. I’ll take full charge of this case involving her children’s custody. In the future, please contact me directly, Mr. Osborne and Mr. Jenkins.”Brenden took out a black gilded business card from his pocket and passed it to them.He spoke firmly, and his expression was stern as well as serious. He gradually emanated an imposing manner.Tyson frowned.He was not involved in the legal industry, so he had never heard of Brenden’s reputation.However, he knew Victor, whom he had hired with a large amount of money, was the most famous attorney in Sea City.If Victor helped him, he would definitely win this case.The only uncertainty now was whether Duke would get involved in this case.If Duke got involved, it might become a little challenging.“I heard that you want to visit the children, Mr. Osborne?” Brenden smiled faintly, pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, and slowly said, “The law states that parents ha

    “Thank you, Mr. Watson,” Adina said sincerely.“You don’t have to thank me. You can thank Duke. If he hadn’t come to me, it would’ve been impossible for me to get involved in such a lawsuit.” Brenden raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. “I still have things to do, so I need to leave first. Ms. Daugherty, let’s keep in touch.”Brenden walked up to Duke and patted him on the shoulder. “I’ll drive your car. You should cherish this opportunity.”Before Duke could say anything, he took his car key and drove away.At 5.00 pm, the late autumn sky was haloed with the yellowish-orange evening sun. The sunlight shone on the wall tiles outside the preschool, creating charming refractions.Adina stood outside the preschool and softly said, “Mr. Winters, thank you.”Duke turned to the side slightly and stared at her.She had an exquisite face, and as the sunset glow shone on her, she seemed to be surrounded by a layer of golden light.She was wearing a pair of pearl earrings.

    Adina drove to the Winters family villa.Duke had introduced her to Brenden today, so she needed to keep her promise by going over and preparing dinner for Harold.She held her children’s hands and walked into the Winters family villa, while Duke followed her from the side.When Mr. Brown came out to receive them, the setting sunlight shone on their faces.They looked like a family of four to him.Besides, the boy’s features actually resembled the master’s. When he glanced at the boy, he looked quite like Young Master George.If he had no idea that this boy was Ms. Daugherty’s son, he would have almost thought that there were three young masters in the Winters family.Mr. Brown suppressed his surprise before he grinned and said, “Young Master Alden, Ms. Melody, we meet again.”When Harold had been admitted to the hospital some time ago, Mr. Brown had gotten to know these two children.Ms. Melody did not like to talk, but that did not stop her from being adorable.

    “Melody recently started to learn the piano, so I’m studying a bit too.” Alden frowned and said, “But I don’t understand a few points here. Do you know a lot about the piano?”Duke had learned some piano when he was about five years old, but he put it aside once he lost interest later on.Nevertheless, he had no problems reading the music staff.He took the book, sat on the couch, and slowly asked, “Which part don’t you understand?”Alden walked up to him and also sat down on the couch.The two of them were seated closely, and that surprised Duke a little.Alden had always kept a distance from him when he was in the Daugherty family home previously. There was always some kind of animosity hidden in the boy’s gaze whenever he looked at Duke.But this boy was so near him now.Did Alden finally accept him?Duke curled his lips slightly as he nonchalantly said, “This is the most basic piano staff. Every music note represents…” He kept talking.Meanwhile, Alden slowly glanced at

    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.

    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. 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.
