Alden walked out slowly from behind the curtain. He saw Duke and quietly followed him. Melody acted really strangely when she saw this man, and the only reason Alden could think of was that he was their father. Hence, he had to get samples to perform a paternity test. ‘A person’s hair, saliva, blood, and nails contain their DNA…’Alden pursed his lips and trailed after the man. Duke took a sip from his wine glass and walked into the banquet hall, but before he could even take two steps inside, he sensed someone following him. ‘There’s someone who actually has the gall to follow me here?’Duke scoffed. He put his wine glass casually on the table and continued forward. After taking just a few steps, he suddenly turned his head around, and Alden was so shocked that his heart nearly stopped. He quickly turned around and pretended to just be passing by. When Duke saw his back, the sneer on his lips turned even colder. ‘Harold… He actually snuck into the party! Can’t
Adina ruffled his hair. “Come, let’s find Mel together.”She had already shown her face at the banquet, so there was no need for her to continue wasting time talking to people who had ulterior motives for talking to her. It was better to spend more time with her children. Adina took Alden’s hand and went to the waiting room upstairs. Mdm. Xavier was old and did not like attending banquets. Instead of going downstairs, she spent the evening looking after Melody in the waiting room. Morganna and Maple did not want to watch Adina shine under the spotlight, so they stayed in the waiting room and spoke with Mdm. Xavier. Melody sat on the balcony and read a book. She was fair, and her milky-white skin captured everyone’s attention. Her long lashes were like a thick fan that cast a faint shadow on her porcelain-like skin. When she sat by herself, she shone as brilliantly as the child stars in the movies. Once she grew up, she would definitely become a beautiful woman who captur
When Harold was about to go to the banquet hall and look for Adina, he heard the sound of children playing. “Haha! The mute has become an ugly girl!”“Bring her here so that we can take a photo. We’ll use the photo to laugh at her and see if she still dares to bite others!”The kids yanked Melody from the flowerbed, but to their surprise, Melody opened her mouth and bit them.The back of a boy’s hand was bitten so hard that he instantly started bleeding.“Get her! Kill her now!”Leo gritted his teeth in hatred. His mother always flew into a rage whenever she saw that b*stard. If he killed her, his mother would definitely compliment him.When Leo thought of it, he found a big stone and threw it at Melody.As Harold turned around, he saw Melody’s beautiful, emotionless gaze.He suddenly felt his heart tighten, and he shouted, “Stop them, somebody!”From the hidden area behind him, a bodyguard instantly rushed over and blocked the big stone from Leo.Harold ran over, pulled Me
“Sob! Sob! Grandma, the mute bullied me!” When Leo saw his grandmother, he instantly felt supported, so he began to tattle. Morganna looked up and saw Melody standing behind Harold with a cold and hostile expression. She became furious at that moment. It was not the first time that this b*stard had bullied her grandson! She rushed over angrily, raised her hand, and attempted to pinch Melody’s ear. However, Harold immediately pushed her away. “I beat them up. Why? Do you want to hit me back?” He was only four years old. His stature was small, but he had a strong imposing manner. He glared at her, and the aura in his eyes was exactly the same as Duke’s. Morganna was stunned as a result. “Grandma, he asked his bodyguard to throw us into the flowerbed!” Leo cried and yelled. The other children also shouted, “Yeah, it was him. His bodyguard threw all of us into the flowerbed.” “He even let his bodyguard throw some dirt into my mouth! Sob! Mommy, please don’t let him get
Duke stood straight.He was standing in the courtyard with a black suit on, and his surroundings were filled with his cold aura.It was the beginning of spring, yet everyone on the spot felt like it was winter. Some of the more timid children were so terrified that their complexions turned pale.Duke’s imposing manner was sufficient to prove that he was not joking.The police would really arrive and bring the children to the police station.Their families had high statuses in Sea City, but the Winters family had an even higher status. As long as Duke said something, there would be no way of getting around it.The rich ladies had been so arrogant earlier, but now, they gritted their teeth in hatred. They glanced at Harold and Melody with profound gazes before they unwillingly looked at Duke.“Mr. Winters, the kids were just fooling around. We don’t need to call the police, do we?”“Yes, Mr. Winters. Our families are in a working relationship. We don’t have to blow this out of
Duke pursed his lips.In truth, he never saw anything. He just heard the sounds of children crying.When he walked over and saw the girl, whose body was covered in dirt, he could not help but feel angry.The little girl was adorable, so she could not have hit them first.Hence, the only possibility was her being bullied.He had simply made up a story, and those rich ladies ended up backing down.Duke cast a cold glance at Harold’s bodyguard.The bodyguard took one step forward before he respectfully reported, “Those children laughed at this young lady for her inability to speak and for being a mute, so both parties had some conflicts. Young Master Harold could not bear it, so he ordered me to help the young lady and avenge her.”Inability to speak?A mute?There was shock in Duke’s black eyes.He looked at Melody, and pain suddenly filled his heart.He squatted down to the girl’s height before he waved at her. “Come here. Let me see if you’re injured.”His figure was refle
Harold sniffed and suppressed his grief.Tears could be seen in his eyes, which pulled at Adina’s heartstrings.This kid was a little mischievous, but he would not bully Melody.Besides, Duke was an adult. Why would he hit a four-year-old girl?She was insane to actually think that the Winters had bullied her daughter.Adina pursed her red lips and gently said, “Mr. Winters, Young Master Harold, I was mistaken. I’m sorry. Thank you for helping Melody.”“So her name’s Melody. It sounds nice.” Harold blinked his black eyes. “Auntie Adina, can I be Melody’s elder brother? I’ll protect her like I did tonight. I won’t let anyone bully her!”Adina smiled faintly and said, “You’ll have to see if Melody wants that or not.”Harold quickly went to hold the girl’s hand. “Melody, can I be your brother?”However, he did not receive any response.Melody kept staring at Duke, her eyes full of longing.Adina did not understand why Melody was so interested in Duke. She had also behaved the s
Why did he have two sons?Why did he not have a daughter?If he had a daughter, he would definitely pamper his daughter to the point that she would be a little princess whom everyone envied the most.Duke wanted to go over and hug the girl, but he suppressed his urge.She was Adina’s daughter!This woman had hidden intentions, so her daughter might only look beautiful!It was tough for Duke to look away from her. He put one hand into his pocket and continued to emanate a cold aura.Meanwhile, Harold rushed over.He could not hold back and just pinched Melody’s cheek.The girl moved his hand away indifferently, and she seemed to look at him with caution.“Mel, I’ll be your brother. I’ll protect you. Can I help you dry your hair?”Melody, who usually did not respond to any external sound, shook her head strongly.Adina was extremely surprised.No matter what she said in the past, Melody would not respond. She even rarely nodded or shook her head.But now, Melody had actuall
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,
