This was the moment!Duke immediately went forward, and he stretched out his right hand toward George like an arrow that was released from a string.His gaze was cold and ruthless, and he moved very swiftly.His right arm was stretched out in a perfect arc in the air before he strongly grabbed George’s collar from the back and pulled him over.Dew was completely stunned.Then, she immediately snapped out of a daze.She crawled to the black weapon, and she instantly grabbed it with her hand.“Stop moving! Don’t move!”Dew sat on the floor while raising the gun high.George nestled in Duke’s arms while breathing heavily. As if he survived a disaster, he raised his head and looked at Adina who still stood at the entrance of the factory. Suddenly, he had a strong sense of foreboding.At that moment!Swish!A bullet was shot in the direction where Adina was.In a split second, Duke did not even have the time to think. He held the boy in his arms tightly while he speedily move
Did Duke even bring other people over?Wait, the footsteps sounded slightly familiar… It was Alden!Alden was coming!The gunshots must have shocked Alden, so he was coming over to check out the situation.Adina instantly widened her eyes!If Alden came, it meant Dew would gain another advantage over her again!She wanted to shout to let Alden leave immediately.But she was afraid of triggering Dew.Dew focused on staring at Adina now. She did not notice the footsteps outside.Adina closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she had already regained her calm. “Dew Daugherty, don’t you just want to ruin my face? It’s just a face, and I don’t really care about it. Don’t hurt others over it. Let Duke and George leave this place first!”She spoke while moving backward, blocking the entrance.Coincidentally, the footsteps stopped, and Alden appeared at the entrance.His small figure was shielded by Adina.Dew did not notice anything strange. She kept smiling crazily, and
Adina looked at Duke, and she sighed heavily.This man was really good-looking. Even if he was bedridden with a pale face, he still emitted an aura that was unapproachable.He was such a noble person. Why did he take the bullets for her?Her aim in approaching him was for the kids.But this man seemed to have really fallen for her.Even if he did not fall for her, he might have already been interested in her.Adina massaged her forehead.Duke already knew that she was George and Harold’s biological mother, and he should have also known that Alden and Melody were the kids of the Winters family.What would this man do next?Would he ask her to return the two kids to the Winters family to acknowledge their original family, like Tyson did?She could bring herself to think about this. When she thought about the details, her hands shook.Her greatest fear was that someone would steal her kids from her.If… Duke insisted on stealing the custody from her, she really stood no chance
Duke leaned against the bed while he stared at her indifferently. His dark pupils reflected her figure.She did not owe him anything.He was the one who owed her.He had mistaken the imposter for someone else four years ago.He had allowed his two sons to acknowledge that wicked woman as their mother.He had caused Alden and Melody to not have a father since they were little.He had made Adina suffer so much alone.“I’m sorry.”Duke moved his lips and slowly said.Adina pursed her lips.This man saved her life and had just regained consciousness. How could she lose her temper at him?She suppressed the emotions that filled her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Mr. Brown knocked on the door and entered the ward. “Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Melody has been looking for you. Please hurry back. I’ll take care of the master here.”Adina swallowed her unspoken words before she replied with a straight face, “In that case, I’ll go back first.”She turned around, walked out of the ward
Adina recalled that night four years ago.George and Harold had exited her belly one after another, and the boys were only as big as a palm when they were born.Other babies had chubby faces when they were born, but the boys’ faces were the opposite. Their cheeks were deeply sunken, and they were as skinny as monkeys.When she looked back on it now, she realized that the boys’ skinny features at that time actually resembled Duke’s.She slowly caressed George’s cheek. It was her first time being so close to George. This was her eldest son.She then moved her hand toward George’s brows. There were some wrinkles due to his frown.This boy had grown up too early. He bore many things that he should not have.“No! No…” the sleeping George suddenly muttered.Adina held his hand and softly said, “George, don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”She bent down and kissed George’s forehead.George was comforted, so he fell asleep again.Only then did Adina leave the
After all, she had brought up the request because she wanted to cover her real purpose. But now, the truth was already exposed.She wondered what storm would hit after Duke was discharged.…… The weather in autumn was cool and dry.The sunlight shone in from the window and landed on George’s eyelids, which trembled strongly before he opened his eyes.The first thing he saw was Harold’s smiling face.“George, you’re finally awake!”Harold smiled happily.He had sneaked into George’s room last night and accompanied him throughout the night.George was a light sleeper. Whenever Harold came over in the past, George would wake up. But last night, George slept deeply.When George came back last night, the back of his head was full of blood. Harold was really afraid that George would not wake up again after he fell asleep, so he had been watching over him.“George, does your head still hurt? Do you want me to change the dressing for you?”Harold carried a medical kit over while h
News about Daugherty Corporation occupied the headlines in Sea City today.As soon as he turned on the computer, all kinds of news articles popped up. George simply clicked on them.[Daugherty Corporation’s share price falls overnight as stocks collapse. Countless shareholders were unable to sell their shares. Daugherty Corporation is surrounded by its shareholders!][Daugherty Corporation’s products were found to contain excessive amounts of chemical elements. The government has stepped in to investigate, and all faulty products have been recalled.][A large number of investors have pulled back funding from Daugherty Corporation, so a few big projects have been put on hold. This could possibly cause Daugherty Corporation to go bankrupt in a short time.]The finance sites were analyzing the reason for the sudden and drastic drop in Daugherty Corporation’s stock price. George understood what happened with just a glance. Someone had manipulated plenty of funds and shares behind t
Luckily, he asked, or else George would have prepared a gift for their mom without him knowing.What kind of gift should he prepare for his mom?…… “Duke, you really risked everything this time!” Trent sat on the couch in the hospital and said in a casual manner. “Being a hero to rescue the beauty always works. No matter how cold-hearted Adina is, she’ll definitely be touched by your actions, and she’ll give herself to you!”Duke was bedridden. His expression was indifferent, and nobody knew what he was thinking.Eilam tugged on Trent slightly before he motioned at him and said, “Alright, stop talking bullsh*t. Let’s just leave. Don’t disturb Duke’s rest.”Trent was not willing to leave. He came from a rich family and always wandered around. He either courted women or raced cars, so he had a lot of free time.His daily life was the same. Whenever he found something that interested him, he would naturally ask for the truth.“Hey, Duke, I heard from people in our circle that the
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,
