Dew lost her cool as she grabbed Harold’s hand and dragged him over with great force.Adina was afraid of hurting Harold if she pulled him back, so she directly let go of him.Let go of me, evil witch!” Harold kicked and stepped on Dew’s dress with his leather shoes. He instantly left a footprint on her pink velvet dress.Dew was furious.She grabbed Harold’s arm and refused to let go.“If you want to go crazy, go back to the Daugherty family home.” Duke’s cold voice was heard. “Mr. Brown, send our guest away!”Luckily, other guests had not arrived at the mansion, so not many people witnessed the out-of-control scene.Mr. Brown walked over respectfully. “Ms. Daugherty, this way please.”Dew instantly snapped out of her daze as if a bowl of cold water had been poured onto her head. “No, I’m not leaving.”She grabbed George’s hand, as though he was her last straw. “George, please don’t let your dad chase me out. I can’t leave. I’m very cold. Can you please let me go inside and r
“Mrs. Winters, happy birthday. I wish you many happy returns.”Adina walked up to Mrs. Winters, smiled, and handed her the birthday gift.A servant at the side accepted the gift and placed it on the table in the middle of the banquet hall. It did not take long for the table to be stacked with at least one hundred birthday gifts.Mrs. Winters nodded. “Duke, why don’t you introduce us?”Adina was worried that Duke would say that they were a couple. She was not planning on announcing their relationship yet.So, she spoke first. “Mrs. Winters, I’m Adina Daugherty.”Mrs. Winters frowned. “Adina Daugherty… Why does this name sound a little familiar?”“Addy, why are you here?”Dew walked over and acted surprised.She had initially gone to sit down in the lounge, but when she saw Duke bring Adina over to send her birthday wishes, she felt extremely jealous.Anyway, Mrs. Winters was there, so Duke would not dare to chase her out. Therefore, she came out and showed off her presence aga
Dew narrowed her eyes. “What are you planning to do?”“Nothing. I just want to have a casual chat with you. See you on the balcony once the party is almost over.”Adina waved at Dew before she held her wine glass and went to the second floor.The four children were playing with an extremely difficult puzzle on the second floor, and they were getting along harmoniously.A few minutes after she accompanied the kids, the banquet downstairs officially started, so she stood up and walked downstairs.All the guests had arrived. There were about seventy guests, and every corner of the living room was full of guests who chatted in groups. Duke was also talking to a few business clients.Adina instantly spotted him.This man would always be the most dazzling person in the crowd no matter where he was.Naturally, the most beautiful woman of Sea City would also be the most dazzling person in the crowd no matter where she was.As soon as she went downstairs, men came over and hit on her.
Everyone in the banquet hall looked at Adina.“My sister is excellent at playing the piano.” Dew smiled faintly and said, “Addy, everyone wants to hear you play. Come on and play a song.”Adina curled her lips into a sneer. “I don’t know how to play.”Dew broke into a sinister smile.Adina really could not play the piano anymore. It was reasonable, since five years ago, Adina had been locked away for eight months. After that, she brought the kids overseas. She had been busy taking care of the kids and earning money every day. How could she have the time to practice the piano?Once you abandoned a skill for five years, you would be unfamiliar with it if you wanted to pick it up again.Knowing how to play piano and playing it well were two different things.She would definitely beat Adina this time!Dew suppressed her pride before she added, “Addy, don’t be humble. We all know how well you played the piano when we took piano lessons together.”“I haven’t played it in many years,
“Ms. Adina is gorgeous, and she can even play the piano so well. She’s truly impressive!” Argh! Dew secretly growled.How could this happen?Why would that b*tch, Adina, be in the limelight again?That was not her intention.However, no matter how regretful Dew was, she could not change the men’s sight in the banquet hall.When a woman looked gorgeous, she could attract the attention of countless men. If she was talented, she would become popular.After Adina got down from the stage, some men went over to hit on her.But Duke got to her first.There was a different kind of gaze in his black eyes. “Why didn’t I know that you could play the piano?”“You’ve never asked, have you?” Adina replied indifferently.Did she have to tell everyone that she could play the piano? Besides, she was not very close to Duke.Duke looked at her side profile and slowly asked, “I heard from Dew just now that you learned piano with her when you were young?”Adina nodded. “You can say that.”
Duke recalled that whenever he got near this woman previously, she would look just as frightened.Was she afraid of him, or was she afraid of him getting close to her?He pursed his gorgeous lips tightly. Just as he was about to speak, his phone vibrated in his pocket.He released Adina’s shoulder and spoke in a low and soft tone, “The banquet hall is a little noisy. You can go to the balcony and get some fresh air.”After he said that, he brought his phone to a quiet place to answer it.A strange accent came from the other end of the line. “Hi, Mr. Winters. I’m Catherine. I wonder if you’ve heard about me.”Duke raised his head indifferently. “Hi, Ms. Catherine.”His mother lived in Ascrialia, and she had a quiet life. Ms. Catherine would always go to the manor and keep his mother company.In the beginning, he thought that Ms. Catherine had ulterior motives. But later, he discovered that Catherine was a psychologist with a background in social studies. She frequently visited h
“There’s nobody else here, so just say whatever you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush.” Dew smiled coldly. “As I said before, as long as you leave Sea City, I can give you anything. That still holds true, so you better take that chance.”“I finally understand why you’re so afraid of me being in Sea City.” Adina twirled her red wine glass and sounded lazy. “When I returned, you resorted to all kinds of schemes to make me disappear. I always thought that you were afraid of me stealing the position of the Daugherty family’s heir, but it turns out, that’s not the case.”Dew became tense.She stared at Adina who sat across from her. She gritted her teeth and said, “Didn’t you come back this time to take everything from the Daugherty family? I won’t give up.”“Haha!”Adina chuckled.She put down her glass of wine before she leaned forward menacingly.Her voice became extremely cold. “Compared to the mistress of the Winters family, the heir of the Daugherty family is worthless. D
Dew’s lips became completely pale.She had never been afraid of Adina. She was just terrified of Duke.That man was ruthless and cold-hearted. He showed no mercy to his enemies. If he discovered that she had deceived him for four years, he would kill her.“Adina, help me.”Dew grabbed Adina’s hand and begged her in a low voice.Her dreams of becoming the mistress of the Winters family were broken. Now she just wanted to stay alive and retain the Daugherty family’s wealth and prosperity.“Duke still doesn’t know about the kids,” Adina said indifferently.Dew sighed in relief. As long as Duke still did not know, there were still countless possibilities.She tried to ask, “So, besides you, who else knows about this?”Adina was aware of what Dew was planning. She scoffed and said, “Are you going to kill everyone who knows about this so that you can keep it a secret forever?”Dew was stunned.“I’ve already written an email, and a DNA report is attached to it. If something happens
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,
