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 temperature in the ward instantly dropped to zero.The man in the silver mask pulled out a chair and sat down. His gaze was extremely hostile and profound. “Why? Can’t I return to Sea City?”“You better disappear in three days,” Duke firmly said. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.“I haven’t visited Mom. How can I leave so quickly?” The man chuckled. “Duke, I’m your elder brother. We’re twins. You don’t have to keep ridiculing me. It really upsets me.”Duke gritted his teeth. “You don’t deserve to be my brother.”The man in the silver mask played around with his fingers, and his gaze gradually turned cold. “Duke Winters, I owe you nothing. Don’t you talk to me like that! If we must distinguish between right and wrong, you’re at fault too. If it weren’t for you, would I be in such a miserable state? You owe me. All of you owe me!”The man became slightly irritated.Duke stared at him with disdain. “You deserve it. Don’t blame everything on someone else.”“Yes, I deserve thi
At 2.00 pm, Serene returned and knocked on the door. Then, the two of them took the documents and prepared to go to Elitos Corporation’s office in Sea City.While they walked to the elevator, they met Mr. Roberts and his secretary from the company next door.Adina smiled and nodded to greet them. “Mr. Roberts, where are you going in a hurry?”Just as Mr. Roberts was about to speak, his secretary cleared his throat and said, “We’re going to meet a client.”They were going to Elitos Corporation for the bid too, but their success rate was not high, so it was not appropriate to announce it right now. It would not be too late if they won the bid later.Adina nodded. “I have something to do as well. Goodbye then.”The two groups entered two separate cars in front of the office building.Then, the two cars moved toward the same destination at the same time.Half an hour later, the cars stopped. Serene pushed her car door open and got out before she also saw Mr. Roberts and his secreta
Elitos Corporation had just moved to Sea City. They had rented an office building but had not established their project team yet.On this day of the large tender, not only did they have to recruit a chief programming designer, but they also needed to hire staff for the process control room, product operators, a full process planning team, technical consultants, and more.Bidding Arena 1 was a few hundred square feet, but it was filled with people who had come to bid.Those who were qualified to bid there were the top players in their respective industries, and every one of them appeared ambitious.Adina sat in the last row. Her gaze was indifferent, and her expression was calm.Serene felt a little anxious, but when she saw how calm Adina was, she gradually relaxed as well.“Hi, I’m the general manager of Philly Corporation. I’m here to bid for the position of general site controller. What about you?”A man, who had been sitting at the side, came over and greeted Adina. He even
“Please support us, Technical Department.”The staff members in the office were all over the place.“Miss, who are you? Who allowed you to come here?”The staff member, who had acted as the host earlier, saw Adina standing in the corridor. He frowned as he walked over and chased her out.However, the moment he saw Adina’s face, the annoyance on his face instantly disappeared.Men would usually tolerate women more, especially if they were gorgeous women.“This is Elitos Corporation’s internal office. Outsiders are prohibited from entering this section. Please leave.”Adina looked around indifferently. “Where is the person in charge of your company? Please bring me to him.”The staff member frowned. “Mr. Wynters will not see anyone at this time. It doesn’t matter who you are or why you’re looking for Mr. Wynters. Please come again tomorrow.”“Elitos is being attacked by hackers. If you don’t stop the hackers in time, I can confirm that all the funds in your company account will
Adina recalled the staff description on the Elitos brochure. There was only one name: Mr. Earley Wynters.When this man visited her in LaStar Technology Corporation previously, he had mentioned that his name was Wynters. So, he should be the person in charge of Elitos Corporation’s project in Sea City. Elitos worked on Internet and IoT development. They did not have anything to do with the human biological tests that Mr. Wynters had talked about before.Adina thought of a lot of things, but it all hit her in less than a second.The people in the meeting room simultaneously looked at her. When they saw Adina, they sighed in relief.For some reason, Mr. Wynters hated women getting close to him. Now that this woman was there for who knows what, she could probably bear some of Mr. Wynters’ fury for them.“Ms. Daugherty?”Earley’s gaze was cold and angry, while he flashed her an evil smile.He wheeled around in his chair before he stared at Adina in an unfriendly and intense manner
Earley dusted off his index finger. “Pretty much.”Adina nodded to acknowledge that she already knew.She took out a document from her bag and indifferently said, “Since it’s just a ‘pretty much,’ that means I still have a chance. This is the chip solution that I wrote. You can have a look at it if you have the time, Mr. Wynters.”She placed the document on the meeting desk before she turned around and left.Earley stared at her back and only picked up the document from the table after she disappeared from the corridor.His skin tone was slightly tan, and the ends of his fingers were dark with a thick layer of calluses.He flipped through the documents, and they were filled with professional technical terms.Although he was not a professional technician, he had slowly started to understand that aspect of things after taking charge of this project.There was only a rough systematic framework in the proposal, and there was very little content. It also seemed a bit crude, but 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,
