When the sky turned slightly bright, Adina was woken up by her phone ringtone.She narrowed her eyes and searched under the pillow. When she took out her phone, she took several attempts to hit the answer button.“Addy. Don’t tell me, you’re still sleeping?”Flint’s anxious voice came from the phone.Adina stroked her hair and said with a hoarse voice, “It’s only 6 a.m... Why would I not be sleeping at this time?”“Something big happened! Only you would sleep through it!” Flint raised his voice. “I saw the news about you from overseas. You’re really brilliant. You just went back for a while, but you’re on the headlines from time to time. Since you’re so sensational, you should just change your career path and become a celebrity. Morton Corporation has invested in the entertainment industry, so we can promote you to become an actress…” “Shut up.”Adina’s ears were quickly beginning to hurt because of his noise.She drew her blanket away, sat up straight, and indifferently said,
Adina washed up while she thought about a solution.After she washed up, she sat on the balcony, drank a cup of coffee, and made a call.The call rang for a while before someone picked up.“Good morning, Mr. Osborne.”The person on the other end of the call instantly became angry when he heard her voice. “Adina Daugherty! It’s you! You exposed this, didn’t you? You’re so cruel! You even exposed the kids just to take revenge on me. You’re not qualified to be their mother!”Adina’s expression darkened. “Mr. Osborne, why do you think I exposed this?”“Who else would it be?” Every word of Tyson was filled with rage.Since this was exposed by the media at 3 a.m., the stock price of Osborne Corporation had dropped three points. In other words, his company lost five hundred million dollars in just three hours!His company was surrounded by reporters now, and Central City was slipping out of his control.He was in Sea City now, so he could not help it. He just looked on helplessly as
Compared to Adina’s calmness, Tyson only grew more flustered and exasperated.Since the news broke out, people from Central City had been peppering him with calls, and his assistant and secretary ran back and off, reporting on the stock price to him once every five minutes.The group chat of the Osborne family had also burst into a ruckus. His wife kept sending him messages, asking what happened.Tyson sat on the sofa of the hotel, massaging his forehead.If this was not solved, his career and family that he had built up over the course of a few decades would be ruined at once.He took a deep breath before he took out his phone and called Dew.Dew had just come out from the auditorium.This was her third tour. Her performances were constantly improving. More people knew her now, and her popularity had also increased dramatically.After this tour, she believed she could become the most remarkable pianist in the piano circle in Sea City.She cast a glance at the incoming call. T
“Where’s the advertising display board that was made two days ago? Grab it and come downstairs with me,” Adina indifferently gave her instructions, “Ask someone to move a table downstairs.”Serene was shocked. “Miss Daugherty, what do you want to do?”“When we usually call for a press conference, these big and prestigious media won’t come over. Now they have taken the initiative to come to us. Would it not be a shame if we don’t use this opportunity?” Adina smiled faintly before she calmly walked into the elevator.Serene finally sighed in relief.LaStar Technology Corporation was not a listed company, and the negative public opinion would not affect the company much, but being surrounded by such news still brought attention.When there were so many reporters downstairs, it annoyed her whenever she glanced at them.She was initially worried that Miss Daugherty would be troubled because of this. Unexpectedly, Miss Daugherty was able to see the opportunity from this.No wonder Mis
Adina’s gaze shifted to the reporter who was speaking. “Are you telling me that the netizens are not easily humored and insist on giving my children a father?” She said coldly, “So, I’m hurting their feelings, just because I’m denying that Tyson Osborne is the father of my children? How does that make sense?”She raised her arms and pointed a slender finger at the offending reporter. “Have you heard my children calling Tyson their father?!“Have you seen the paternity test report in person?“How about you? Have you seen me ruining Tyson and his wife’s relationship? Have you seen me planning to be Mrs. Osborne anytime soon?“And you, how dare you prematurely deduce my relationship with Tyson from a single photo? Is it really okay for Orange Newspaper to do such lackluster research when writing their frontpage news?”The group of reporters was literally speechless when she asked them these questions. They were overwhelmed, not just because of her sharp words, but also because of h
All the reporters knew that whatever they asked, they would not get anything from Adina… Moreover, she would only continue taking the opportunity to promote her product.Meanwhile, at Winters Cooperation, Duke watched Adina smiling through the tablet in front of him.‘I truly didn’t expect this woman to turn things around even when things were looking so hopeless on her end…‘A press conference had been the best way to solve this matter. But it’s not without its risks, too.‘If Tyson were to step up and deny the matter, this press conference would turn out as a joke. ‘I must think of something to help Adina.’ While he was lost in his thoughts, Jake came in. “Mr. Winters, all the comments against Ms. Daugherty have been removed from the Internet, just as you’ve requested.”Ms. Clark came in to report to Duke as well. “Mr. Winters, the officials from the Osborne Corporation have issued a legal notice. It said that they would take legal action against those responsible for the
“Adina, how could you just lie through your teeth? Do you think the netizen will truly believe your lies?”Dew gritted her teeth as she spoke.‘A single press conference ruined the scheme that I’ve carefully plotted. ‘What’s more, how dare this b*tch take this opportunity to win herself countless more business opportunities!’Serene was so furious that her gaze could set things on fire. At that moment, she heard a familiar voice at the other end of the call.“What drug did you give Adina back then?”“The one that makes her obedient.”“…”Dew paused suddenly. A moment later, she said in disbelief, “Adina, are you scheming against me?”“Well, let’s be clear. Who’s scheming against who?” Adina smiled casually, “You violated my privacy, hired a bunch of paparazzis to make up crazy stories about me, and displayed my private affairs as Sea City’s news headlines. Do you really think you can stay out of it just because you’re not in Sea City?” Dew took in a sharp breath. “What
‘It’s okay to deny that the children are mine for now. Once the crisis is over, I’ll find a way to take my children back.’ At that moment, his phone vibrated. He took a glance at it. It was his father.He exhaled and picked up the call. “Father, the matter has been resolved. How’re things in Central City?”“You bastard, do you think I’d believe it when that woman denies that the children are yours? The netizens may be idiots, but I’m not! Just like me, you’re a playboy, and you have been hooking up with many women, but you’re not as mature as I am. I have long suspected that you would have created a b*stard somewhere out there!” Samuel said coldly, “We must not let any child that’s carrying Osborne’s blood be left wandering out there. Tyson, you must bring the children back to Central City!” Tyson pressed his temples. “Father, why do you have to make such a big fuss about it? If I were to bring the children back to Central City, the company’s stock price would be affected again
