The Xavier family’s banquet finally ended at 10.00 pm.Right then, the news on the Internet had already become sensational to the maximum point.All kinds of hot topics were trending.[The most beautiful lady in Sea City in the past is stunningly back!][Throwbacks to the scandals of the most beautiful lady in Sea City!][Adina Daugherty is cutting ties with the Daugherty family.][Daugherty Corporation’s shares will belong to…] …… The Daugherty family instantly became the headlines of all the news platforms in Sea City.When Aaron saw the news on the television, he angrily smashed the remote control. “I should’ve strangled her to death! She dared to cut off ties with the Daugherty family in front of the media. How dare she say that!”“Dear, please don’t get angry. That girl clearly came back to take revenge on us.” Ruby scornfully pouted. “Cutting off ties with us is better. In this way, she won’t have the reason to take away those shares.”After they thought that Adina d
Dew sighed in relief.She wanted to become Mrs. Winters, so she did not want to get involved with these dumb issues.Since her father was willing to get involved, she would not look for trouble.The Daugherty family took action very quickly. At 6.00 am the next morning, the press conference was ready.Aaron appeared in front of the cameras like a lovely father. He did not sleep the entire night, hence he appeared to be haggard and gloomy. Before he spoke, some people had already sympathized with him.“Addy’s my daughter. She’s my first child. My love for her can’t be described in words… Five years ago, she made a terrible mistake, and I became furious. I grounded her so that she could reflect on her actions for a few months, and that approach was wrong of me. But, if all of you think about it from a father’s perspective, you would understand me.“Later, she set fire to the mansion and tried to burn the Daugherty family, causing Daugherty Corporation to lose more than a billion do
After Aaron held the press conference, public opinion on the Internet did become slightly better. The price of their stocks, which had been going down, also gradually started to increase. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. However, in less than half an hour, a video broke the fake harmony. The netizens who watched the show without participating in the discussion could not help but express their opinions as well. “Oh, my goodness! What era is she living in? She dares to hire hitmen to murder people! How bold of her!” “Those people are clearly Dew’s bodyguards, and they wanted to kill Adina!” “Luckily, Adina was smart. She grabbed Dew as her hostage in time. Otherwise, she would have definitely died in that graveyard.” “She’s capable of doing such a ruthless act to her own family. Would she be more vicious when she deals with her competitors in business?” “Daugherty Corporation has undergone considerable development. They must have used a lot of vic
After a long time, a childish but deep voice finally came from the other end of the line. “Mom, why are you calling me?”“George, only you can help me now. I’ve run out of options…” Dew covered her lips, and her tears kept falling.She said in a sobbing tone, “Someone is viciously attacking Daugherty Corporation. There’s tons of negative news about Daugherty Corporation on the Internet now. The corporation’s stock prices have also dropped to the minimum now. If this progresses, the company will need to announce bankruptcy…” While she spoke, there were audible tapping sounds from the keyboard on the other end of the line.A while later, the deep voice could be heard again. “Mom, Daugherty Corporation has a lot of wealth, so it won’t go bankrupt just because of this. All the negative rumors on the Internet now are based on a fifty-four-second surveillance video. Mom, may I know if you’re the person in the video?”“It’s not me… Why would it be me?” Dew instinctively started to den
When Winters Corporation announced their new project collaborator, it shocked everyone.At this critical time, Winters Corporation actually chose to cooperate with Daugherty Corporation. This was something that no one had expected.“The stock price of Daugherty Corporation is going down. Why would Winters Corporation choose this company?”“These two companies never cooperated in the past. Why would they cooperate at this crucial moment? Unless Winters Corporation helps Daugherty Corporation, Daugherty Corporation will be ruined this time.”“Daugherty Corporation is really lucky!”“The members of the Daugherty family really have some tricks up their sleeve! They were actually able to cling on to the Winters family.”“Would anyone still dare to offend the Daugherty family this time?”“Not at all! They have all run away!”The share price of Daugherty Corporation was restored to the normal level in half a day. It was like the crisis last night had never happened.When Adina read t
The boy leaned on Old Mrs. Xavier’s knees and said with a soft voice, “Mel just likes to eat Mommy’s food. She slims down these days because we are staying with the Xavier family.”Old Mrs. Xavier chuckled. “If I don’t let your mommy cook, will I be a bad person?”“No, I just want you to try Mommy’s cooking. It’s really good.” Alden blinked. “You’ll know when you try.”“Alden, you’re really a good boy!”Old Mrs. Xavier affectionately caressed Alden’s head.He was just a four-year-old boy. Not only did he take care of his sister, but he also helped Addy handle a lot of work.Considerate boys like this were really lovely.Meanwhile, Adina prepared food in the kitchen.The two kids were born prematurely, so they were weaker than their peers since they were little. When they reached the age that they could eat proper food, they also refused to eat. So, she started researching how to cook.Before she was eighteen years old, she was a lady who did not do house chores. But after she
Golden Sun was a prestigious kindergarten. It looked like a castle.Dew held Harold’s hand to walk inside, but her hand was swung away by Harold fiercely.Her gaze was filled with coldness, but she forcefully suppressed it. “Harold, this is your dad’s decision. Why are you angry at me?”“Do I look angry to you?” Harold scoffed. “I just don’t want you to touch me.”“You!”Dew was so angry that she nearly lost her composure.She took a deep breath. “You’d better behave well and not cause any trouble, or I won’t be able to explain it to your father.”“Aren’t we handling the suspension procedure now? What trouble can I cause?” Harold looked irritated. “Quickly go and sign. I’ll wait for you outside.”“You’d better wait here. If you dare run away, your dad won’t spare you.”Dew turned back on her high heels, and anger kept filling her heart.She should have strangled Harold, the b*stard, to death.She raised him, and he just kept causing her trouble!Harold sat on the staircase
It was really a small world when they could also meet the man’s son in this place.But this was none of his business.Alden continued pushing Melody on the swing.Five minutes later, Harold carried a bunch of toys and ran to Alden. “I will give you these toys.”Alden frowned. “What?”“I will give my toys to you, you lend Mel to play with me,” Harold lifted his chin and said arrogantly. He always played with these toys in kindergarten. An airplane cost a few ten thousand dollars.The teacher said these toys were very expensive, so they never allowed other children to play with them.He did not believe that Melody’s brother would not be interested in these toys.But Alden was not interested. His eyes were filled with coldness as well. “My sister is a person, not a toy.”As soon as he spoke, he emitted a cold aura.Harold was shocked.Why did this person’s tone of speaking sound like George?He pouted. “Tell me, what should I do to make you let Melody play with me?”“You ca
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,
