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
Duke looked at Alden’s face first before he glanced at Melody.In the past, he used to think about how great it would be if Melody was his biological daughter. He had thought about it more than once.But it turned out that she really was his daughter.No wonder he was not resistant toward Melody in the slightest. No wonder Melody called him “Daddy.”“Mel, come to Daddy.”Duke waved at her.She moved out of her mother’s hand before she walked toward the bed.She stared at Duke’s arm with her big eyes. His arm was wrapped in gauge, but some blood had oozed out. It looked a little scary.She extended her soft finger and gently touched the wound before she blew on it. “Daddy, are you in pain?” she asked softly.Duke’s heart melted. “No, I don’t feel any pain.”He held the girl in his arms and looked at Alden who was standing at the door.A long time ago, he had found that this boy looked like George. He used to think that they looked alike because they were cousins. Only now did
He took out a set of documents from the bedside cabinet and passed it to Alden.Alden felt puzzled as he accepted it. When he flipped through the documents and gave them a look, he was instantly stunned. “You’re giving me a company?”“I told you. You’ll have whatever George and Harold have,” Duke said nonchalantly. “I’ll arrange an assistant for you. If you need anything, just let him know.”Harold widened his eyes.He had asked his father for a company for a long time, but his father just gave it to Alden like that?Oh, gosh! He had lost his father’s love!It turned out that love could not disappear, but it could be transferred!Harold felt a great sense of crisis.Adina was standing at the door at first. When she heard what Duke said, she subconsciously walked toward the bed.She cast a glance at the document, and when she saw the company name, she knew that it was an Internet company dealing with software technology. A company like that was not suitable for a boy.Besides,
Adina only answered the video call after she fixed her hair.“Hey, Addy. Why is your hair so messy? You didn’t just wake up, did you?”Flint’s unrestrained voice came from the phone.When the bedridden Duke heard his voice, he frowned tightly.Why did he feel like he had heard that voice somewhere?Adina stood by the door and nonchalantly said, “I don’t dawdle in bed like you. I brought the kids to visit a patient in the hospital today. If you need anything, just tell me quickly. Otherwise, I’ll hang up now.”“Hey, don’t hang up. Let me see Mel. It’s been a long time since I last saw my goddaughter.”Adina pursed her lips.She never agreed to let Flint be Melody’s godfather, but the guy always called Melody his goddaughter, so she could not be bothered to correct him.She waved and called Melody over.The little girl smiled brightly at the video call.“Wow! Mel, your smile’s gorgeous. I miss you so much. Wait for me, okay? I’ll go to Sea City and visit you later on.”Melody
“How were the kids born four years ago?” Duke slowly asked.He had read the news four years ago. That night had been described in graphic detail by the reporters, but there was a combination of truth and lies.The only thing he could be sure of was that Adina did not go to a hospital the day she gave birth. She gave birth to the four babies in the Daugherty family’s warehouse.Even a normal person had to risk her life to give birth to one baby. He could not imagine how she successfully gave birth to the four babies.Besides, he had also heard that the Daugherty family’s mansion was set on fire that night.Adina pursed her lips with a blank look. “George and Harold were born first. When they were born, they were not breathing, so I thought that they…” She started to quiver before she resumed. “Dew took the babies away. I didn’t know where she brought them, but I always thought that the kids were dead.”She looked down and hid all the emotions in her eyes.Duke felt as if he was
In the corridor outside the ward, Melody was riding a wooden horse, while the three boys surrounded her.Harold leaned forward and grinned. “Mel, I’m your brother. Come on, call me ‘Hal.’”Melody tilted her head and softly said, “Harold.”“Hey, no. You should call me ‘Hal,’” Harold corrected her. “I’m your second eldest brother. You should call me ‘Hal.’”“Hal,” Melody said obediently.George walked over too. “I’m your eldest brother. Mel, can you call me ‘Georgie?’”“Georgie.”Melody was very compliant. She just said whatever they wanted her to say.Alden was quite frustrated. His mother and sister had been taken away now. He was devastated.“This is your third eldest brother.” Harold pointed at Alden as he spoke.Alden’s face immediately darkened. He pursed his lips and said, “Harold, I’m older than you. How can you be the second eldest and I the third eldest?”“Dad said I’m older than you!” Harold shook his head pridefully. “I’m the older brother, and you’re the younger b
Alden took his phone out and captured a photo of Shura’s back.“What does ‘Shura’ mean?” Harold asked with a puzzled expression after he snapped out of his daze.George rolled his eyes at him. “Did you learn English from your PE teacher?”Harold felt insulted as he stroked his chin. “George, you know that I feel sleepy whenever I attend English class. I don’t have the talent for language. You can’t blame me for that! Mel, don’t you agree?”“Shura’s a character in a comic,” Melody softly said.Harold became speechless.Even Melody knew the term, but he was clueless.No wonder his dad did not give him a company to manage. Was it because he was too stupid?”George glanced at Alden and nonchalantly asked, “Do you know that man with the mask?”Alden put his phone into his pocket and shook his head. “I don’t know him.”He really did not know him. He had never met Shura. He had only heard about the man from K.Shura was not a hacker, but his presence was more terrifying than that o
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,
