Alden instantly rushed over and shielded Melody.He glared at George with his cold gaze.He had come to the Winters family villa many times, and he finally met George today.If he had known that George would come home today, he would not have abandoned Melody in the Winters family villa.George looked up and looked at Alden quietly.When their gazes met, there were sparks without smoke.“Ms. Melody, please come with me. I’ll get you some medication. How did your fair wrist become so red? This is heartbreaking.”Mr. Brown walked over with a first aid kit, which eased the tension.Duke carried Melody and sat on the couch at the side. He personally applied the medication for her, and he did so gently.Alden slowly clenched his fists.He could have done the paternity test at any time. He should not have abandoned Melody. That caused her to be injured.“Don’t come near my sister again,” Alden said coldly and firmly.George frowned indifferently. “You and Melody are different ind
The little girl jumped down from the couch and held Alden’s hand. Although she did not speak, her demeanor made it obvious.Alden held her hand and walked outside while he said, “You should stay away from the Winters brothers.”Melody pursed her lips and said in an extremely soft voice, “George…” Alden trembled. When Melody spoke for the first time, she had called Duke “Dad.” When she spoke for the second time, she had also called Duke “Dad.”It was her third time speaking, but she was uttering George’s name.It had only been Melody and George’s first real meeting. Just one meeting was enough for George to enter her world?He took a deep breath and said in a lower voice, “George and Harold are biological siblings, so Dew is also George’s mother.”As soon as he said that, he saw Melody instantly lose all her energy like a deflated balloon.She was like a blooming orchid in the valley that instantly wilted and lost its scent.At that moment, Alden regretted it.Someone else
Adina casually contradicted Ruby, and the woman’s expression changed several times before she flashed her a smile again. “Addy, why did you come back alone? Where are your kids?” she asked.Mdm. Daugherty walked out with a walking stick and looked at Adina’s back with her haggard eyes. She felt a little disappointed as she said, “You didn’t come back with the kids?”As she grew older, she began to enjoy the liveliness of being surrounded by children. She had even prepared some presents for the children.Adina smiled faintly and helped Mdm. Daugherty to sit down.She tucked her hair behind her ear before she nonchalantly said, “My kids are afraid of strangers. I’ll bring them back next time. Grandma, are you feeling better now?”Mdm. Daugherty coughed and said, “It’s the same old problem. I’m just holding on.”Adina glanced around and did not see Dew.She looked down and leisurely asked, “Where’s Dew? Why don’t I see her around?”“Dew has been practicing the piano recently. An e
“There’s nothing to discuss.” Adina’s expression turned hostile, and her voice was indifferent.“Addy, if the kids are really members of the Osborne family, we really need to discuss this.” Mdm. Daugherty sighed and said, “You gave birth to the kids alone, and you’ve worked so hard to raise them. You can’t just raise the kids for the Osborne family for nothing, right?”“I said the kids are mine, and they’re not related to anyone else. I’m not raising the kids for anyone!” Adina’s voice was harsh, and she was also slightly impatient as she faced Mdm. Daugherty.“Addy, Mr. Osborne says that he’ll find a way to divorce his current wife, and he’ll bring you and the kids back to the family in Central City. Then, you’ll be the wife of the chairman of Osborne Corporation. How impressive will that be?! Is there anything bad about that?” Ruby acted like a caring mother as she advised Adina. “The Osborne family is great. They have power in Central City, and Mr. Osborne likes you very much. Wh
“Adina has hired Brenden Watson, the most famous attorney in the country. Tyson doesn’t have a chance of winning,” Dew said firmly. “Tyson cares about his reputation very much. Perhaps this lawsuit won’t even be filed…” Ruby leaned back in her royal chair and sneered. “In that case, why don’t we add some fuel to the fire and force him to file the lawsuit?”“Mom, like mother like daughter. We’re thinking of the same thing. I previously asked someone to take a few photos. I’ll send them to you right now.” Dew smiled and said, “You can work on it. You better do things neatly. I’m overseas at the moment, so no matter how big the thing gets, George won’t suspect me. Mom, I’m counting on you.”“Don’t worry, Dew.”Ruby tapped on her phone. As she scrolled through the photos, she broke into a victory smile.Right then, it was daytime on the other side of the world, and Dew was at a banquet. After she hung up, she took a glass of wine from a waiter and walked toward the banquet hall.“Ms
Alice was also reputable in the piano world. She was lucky to be part of an ensemble with Albert in the past, so she could talk to Mr. Albert.As they approached the resting room, a bodyguard blocked their way.“Mr. Albert is busy. Please leave.”Too many people wanted to meet Mr. Albert. The bodyguard’s expression was cold, and he spoke like a robot.Dew smiled and said, “This is Ms. Alice. She’s an old friend of Mr. Albert. Can you please go inside and let him know she’s here?”“Mr. Albert told us that he won’t be seeing anyone.”The bodyguard blocked the door to his room like a wall.Alice looked very disappointed. “Mr. Albert must be doing something important. We’ll come again next time.”Just as they were about to turn around and leave, the door to Mr. Albert’s resting room opened.An old man with gray hair held his phone and stepped out. As he walked, he said, “Let me show you the international auditorium. Many people won’t be able to perform on this stage in their lifet
“Mel, I know you’ve been unhappy these last two days, and you dislike Harold. Can you tell me the reason?” Duke held Melody while he asked her softly.The little girl looked down, and her long, curly lashes trembled. She tightly clenched her fists.Duke was very patient when he dealt with Melody.He slowly said, “I’m your Uncle Duke. No matter how bad things have happened to you, you can always tell me.”Melody slowly loosened her fists. She raised her head and stared Duke in the eyes.Alden, who was not far away, walked over. When he was approaching them, he stopped walking.What Duke said to him in the car lingered in his mind again.Mom never made any decisions for him, so should he also leave Melody be?Melody accepted Duke, and she was willing to get along with Duke. She was also willing to share her secrets with Duke. What right did he have to stop her?Alden pursed his lips, turned around, and entered the kitchen.Melody did not eat anything before he took her back fro
He pursed his lips and said, “Harold sincerely likes Mel, and he will never hurt Mel, but George is different!”Duke looked up at him. “Why is George different?”“He cares about Dew. If Dew asks him to harm Mel, I don’t think he’ll turn her down!” Alden raised his chin and coldly said.“He won’t.”Duke firmly said.George was his pride. His son had principles and bottom lines. He would never injure a girl.If Dew wanted to injure Melody one day, George might not even admit Dew as his mother.Alden clenched his fists. “If my mom knows that George and Harold are Dew’s sons, she will not go to the Winters family again. She will also never cook for Harold again.”Duke’s expression finally changed.Adina… was really beyond his control.He also knew of the grudge between the Daugherty siblings. If Adina knew that he had a past with Dew, perhaps she would really not visit the Winters family again.When Duke thought of this possibility, it filled his heart with gloominess.“So, doe
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,
