Duke fell into contemplative silence before he asked, “Do you have to attend the banquet tonight?”

Adina gave him a sideways glance. “What’s wrong?”

It was a celebration party organized by Elitos, so those who attended the banquet today were business partners that were going to collaborate with Elitos. She could use this opportunity to expand her network, hence she wanted to attend it if possible.

Duke was at a loss of words when she stared at him.

Could he tell her that he did not want other men to see her beauty, so he was hoping she would not attend?

He would never say that out loud.

His words died in his throat, and he indifferently said, “Hal’s very dependent on you, so I just wanted to ask what time you’ll be home.”

Adina tidied her hair as she answered, “About 9.00 pm.”

“Okay, I’ll go and pick you up,” Duke said with a straight face.

Adina wanted to decline at first, but her car was still under maintenance. Plus, Alden and Melody were still with the Winters family. It s

    The banquet officially started at 7.30 pm.Under the spotlight, a man with a silver mask walked up the stage.When he stood under the illumination, his silver mask reflected a cold light. The people in the hall subconsciously stopped talking, and the banquet hall fell into silence.“I will be announcing the future collaborators of Elitos.”Earley stood on the stage, and his deep voice emanated a profound aura.“That’s Earley Wynters, the CEO of Elitos in Astroy,” Trent lowered his voice and said to Adina. “He’s the executive who suddenly joined Elitos about three years ago. None of his background information can be found. He’s very mysterious.”Eilam softly added, “All the executives of Elitos are Europeans, but Earley is from Astroy. Even though his background information is concealed, he puts on a mask no matter what occasion he attends. It’s extremely creepy.”Adina lowered her head and took a sip of the champagne.Alden had looked into Earley’s background for her before. Th

    “Mdm. Jones is still so young. She looks exactly the same as the time when she first became the CEO of Jones Corporation ten years ago. Her every move makes me envious.”“Women like us will never be able to learn Mdm. Jones’ harsh methods. But why is she here right now?”“Yeah, the Jones family didn’t manage to collaborate with Elitos, right?”“Could it be…” Everyone kept switching gazes between Zhenny and Adina.The man on the stage, Earley, was the host who had organized the banquet. He walked down the stage and calmly said, “Mdm. Jones, it’s an honor for Elitos Corporation to have you take some time out of your day to attend this banquet. Someone, please get some wine for Mdm. Jones.”Zhenny’s gaze was unfriendly, and she responded indifferently. “Don’t beat around the bush. I came today because I wanted to ask you something, Mr. Wynters. Did Elitos really decide to hire Ms. Daugherty as the chief chip designer for the project?”Earley’s voice was cold. “Elitos has made the

    Everyone looked at Adina.She was breathtaking, and the pink gown made her even more dazzling among the crowd.She held her champagne glass and raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. “Mdm. Jones, what does losing your proposal have anything to do with me?”“Ms. Daugherty, are you trying to shirk responsibility?” Zhenny curled her lips into a sneer. “Why don’t you share with us how you completed this high-difficulty chip design proposal in one day?”“High difficulty?” Adina frowned. “What do you mean? Is the chip design proposal very difficult for you?”Zhenny’s complexion instantly turned pale.She had lived for forty years, but nobody had ever dared to speak to her like that.This b*tch did not just steal her proposal, but she even had the audacity to insult her in public. Did this b*tch think she was easy to deal with?She scoffed and said, “Ms. Daugherty, you just copied and pasted your proposal, so it’s naturally not difficult for you.”She just made an assumption in one senten

    Zhenny glanced at Adina coldly. “Ms. Daugherty, you don’t think that you can prove you didn’t plagiarize just because two proposals look different, do you?”Adina shrugged. “Since you’ve found me guilty of plagiarism, whatever I say means nothing.”Zhenny scoffed. Just as she was about to look away, she noticed Adina’s carefree look and found it quite familiar.It was as if she had met someone who looked just as carefree and despised everything.Zhenny was not a big fan of that expression.She curled her lips coldly and turned away with disdain.There was a large electronic screen behind the stage in the ballroom. After the staff connected the power supply, they placed the two design proposals on the table.Then, they clicked on Jones Corporation and LaStar Technology Corporation’s bid proposals at the same time. The documents were displayed side by side on the screen.Everyone in the banquet hall raised their heads and looked over.However, these were professional chip design

    Zhenny’s ears suddenly buzzed.When she looked at Adina’s design proposal, her mind instantly went blank.She had been in the industry for twenty years. The longer she read Adina’s proposal, the more impressed she felt.Right then, she finally understood why Earley would rather risk offending Jones Corporation by choosing a small and unknown new company.Adina raised her gorgeous face indifferently. “Mdm. Jones, please explain which part I plagiarized.”Zhenny’s expression darkened to the maximum level.Those who defended Zhenny and criticized Adina were instantly speechless.Zhenny clenched her fists before she took a deep breath and said, “Today’s incident has been a misunderstanding.”“Misunderstanding?” Trent scoffed. “Mdm. Jones, even if it’s a misunderstanding, shouldn’t you still apologize to Ms. Daugherty?”Zhenny appeared sullen.She had never lowered her head and apologized to anyone in her life before. She really could not lower her status and apologize to a young

    Zhenny narrowed her eyes.She did not quite understand what Adina meant.At that moment, Adina raised her voice and said, “Someone, please turn Mdm. Jones’ proposal to page 16. I guess you haven’t seen the formula on this page before, have you? And I suppose you’re also very unfamiliar with the newly-built module on page 28, right? The design drawings on pages 34 and 35 also implement the new building module. These are fresh ideas.”Everyone nodded.The secretary behind Zhenny coldly said, “This is a brand-new build formula developed by our Technical Department under Mdm. Jones’ leadership.”“Is that so?’Adina chuckled, and her gaze was filled with mockery.For some reason, Zhenny felt flustered as a result of Adina’s gaze.“Ms. Daugherty, just spit it out. Don’t try to put on a show here,” she said in annoyance.“Six months ago, my mentor at Harfard was working on this subject, and he showed me his paper before it was published. It contained this formula along with the same

    After Zhenny left the banquet in anger, the remaining people in the banquet hall looked at each other at a loss.It was their first time seeing the CEO of Jones Corporation so embarrassed.And it was because of Adina.They began to look at Adina with conflicted gazes.Trent raised a wine glass and flashed her a teasing smile. “I finally understand why I always suffer defeat at your hands. You can even take down an experienced business player like Zhenny, so what’s a man from a rich family like me who just entered the business industry?” Adina did not pay attention to him. Instead, she took her phone and sent someone a message.Trent twirled his glass of red wine and continued. “Hey, do you think Zhenny really bought the copyright for that paper? Adina, go ahead and ask your mentor now.”Adina chuckled. “Of course she didn’t.”The paper had been published in a niche local magazine, which sold less than 100,000 copies a year. It was on the verge of being discontinued. Very few p

    Adina returned to the banquet hall and continued talking to everyone.She was gorgeous and capable. For a moment, countless people handed their name cards to her.At 9.00 pm, people slowly left the banquet.“Addy, let me send you home.” Ethan caught up with her and spoke like a gentleman.Before Adina could answer, a tall figure walked over from the entrance of the banquet hall.She turned around to find that it was Duke.Had this man arrived a long time ago?She would have left earlier if she had realized it.“Ethan, someone’s here to pick me up. Thank you for the offer,” Adina smiled as she said.Ethan frowned and looked at Duke before his frown deepened. “Addy, are you and Mr. Winters…” “Ahem!” Adina stroked her nose awkwardly. “Alden and Mel are with the Winters family, so I’m going back with Mr. Winters to pick them up.”Ethan pursed his lips and did not say anything else.Duke was Alden and Melody’s father. It was inappropriate for an outsider like Ethan to interfere

    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.

Please make the necessary arrangements, thank you.”The comments became more frenzied.[?][!]A series of symbols occupied the whole screen.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “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.
