“Keep us away? Why would he want to keep us away?” Harold scratched his little head with a puzzled face.George silently watched him like this with a look on his face that said, “You didn’t believe me when I called you dumb, do you believe me now?”Harold said nothing.The car soon stopped at the entrance of the Winters family mansion.Alden was the first to push the door open and disembark. He looked around the living room of the mansion, his eyebrows furrowing. “Where’s Melody, why isn’t she back yet?”Mr. Brown said with a smile, “Mrs. Winters took Miss Melody to the zoo, it could be a while more before they return...”As soon as he spoke, a car arrived outside the mansion.With Melody in her arms, Mrs. Winters exited the car.Harold rushed to greet them. “Mel, I’ve missed you! Take me with you wherever you go next time. I never want to take an IQ test again!”To him, taking an IQ test was downright insulting!He hugged his cute sister and finally felt better.Alden’s eye
Duke’s car finally arrived at the coastal suburbs.It was four in the afternoon, and because of the cloudy weather, compounded with the dense, dark clouds, the seaside looked like it was cast in twilight, resulting in low visibility.He got out of the car and, with his leather shoes crunching on the jagged rocks of the coast, approached the warehouse slowly. This was a chemical manufacturing warehouse that had been abandoned ten years ago. Though made with metal plating, the structure was now a ruin under the onslaught of erosion from the sea breeze.Duke walked toward it slowly and stood before the ruined entrance.He checked the surroundings and saw that there was no one outside, but behind the door, there were at least seven or eight brutes.It was good to see some activity there. It meant that Adina would be held here.Duke lifted his leg and kicked the door open.It was already dark outside, but the interior of the warehouse was even darker, and from the darkness, seven o
She pursed her lips and calmly said, “Since your enemy is Duke, you can take revenge by yourself. Can you give me back my daughter?”“What a ruthless woman!” Earley sneered. “He’s sacrificing himself to save you. Don’t you feel touched at all?”“Why would I feel touched?” Adina coldly said, “If not because of him, why would my daughter and I end up being threatened by you? Earley Wynters, you’re here to take revenge on Duke. He’s now in your hands, so you can even kill him if you want! I just want to see my daughter now!”“Patience. Let’s finish watching the show.”Earley raised his hand and pressed down on Adina’s shoulders. His head was very close to hers.The breath that he exhaled onto Adina’s face was filled with coldness.She indifferently stared at the surveillance screen. She saw about eight people beating Duke up. Duke’s head was bleeding profusely. She saw Duke’s black eyes staring at the sack that was hung up high in the distance.She slowly clenched her fists, and he
The light in the office was dim. The yellow light shone brightly in Adina’s dark eyes.Earley looked at her eyes that brimmed with indifference, and he suddenly smiled faintly.“Adina, you’re really smart, so how did your own sister manage to set you up five years ago?”Adina’s pink lips were tense.She was set up five years ago because she trusted those two so-called family members, not because she was stupid.While she was in a daze, Earley immediately raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.Adina was slim and agile. She took a step back and easily got out of Earley’s control range.She stabbed at Earley’s neck with the knife in her hand without hesitation.Earley narrowed his eyes, and he was forced to keep moving backward.He coldly said, “You’re unexpectedly great in martial arts.”He was almost no match for her.Adina smiled faintly and chuckled. “If you really harm my daughter, I’ll stab your heart with the knife without hesitation. But today, I don’t want to make my h
There was so much blood. Was she already… “No!”Duke’s eyes were bloodshot.He realized, too late, that he should be calling the ambulance.He patted his body all over, but he could not find his phone. He had dropped his phone somewhere when he fought just now.While he searched for his phone, the sound of footsteps slowly approached him.As though he grasped the last straw, he spoke in a sobbing tone, “Could you please lend me your phone?”He looked up. He was at the backlight angle, so he could only see a skinny figure walking toward him.“Why do you want my phone?”An indifferent voice was heard through the backlight.Duke’s mind was buzzing. In an instant, he had not realized it. He said in a deep voice, “I need to call an ambulance.”“Why do you want to call an ambulance?”Adina slowly walked over.She saw that Duke knelt on the ground, and there was a sack in front of him that kept bleeding.This man’s eyes were red, and his gaze was filled with pain. His voice cra
Adina narrowed her eyes. She lifted her leg and kicked up the steel pipe from the ground before she held it with her hand and used it as a weapon.She thought that Earley’s subordinates had come over. When she saw the two kids who appeared at the entrance of the warehouse, she instantly sighed in relief.Then, her indifferent face looked stern. “Why are the two of you here?”“Mommy, I’m glad that you’re fine!”Alden immediately rushed over and held Adina’s waist tightly.His slightly mature face was full of worries and thankfulness.Adina’s heart melted. “Alden, I’m fine. Nothing will happen to me. Don’t worry.”Alden held her tightly, and he gloomily remained silent.George walked over, pursed his pink lips, and said softly, “Alden felt something happened to you and Dad, so he found out your location. Luckily, nothing serious happened.”Adina showed a stern expression while she said, “Don’t do this again. The two of you are just kids. How could you run out of the house in the
Only after the car disappeared from her sight did she allow the remaining two bodyguards to send Duke to the emergency room.“Mr. Winters’ injuries are minor, but the back of his head has taken a rather hard hit.” The doctor held the examination report and said, “It was an armed weapon, so there is a small area of bruising on his brain. Theoretically, this bruise won’t affect him much. His body will absorb it in half a month.”When Adina heard what the doctor said, she sighed in relief. “Does he need to be in the hospital for half a month?”“That’s not necessary. He will just stay for three days for observation.”Duke was pushed to the ward. When Adina saw him lying on the bed with a pale face, she felt very conflicted.Not long ago, this man was shot by Dew in order to save Georgie, and he also laid in the hospital for a few days.He had not recovered from his previous injury, and now he had been injured again.She leaned on the chair beside the bed, held her forehead, and clos
It was extremely silent in the ward, except for some light dripping from the infusion tube.Duke smelled the fresh scent of Adina’s hair, and he stared at her side profile.The soft light of the night cast a shadow on her face, which filled her indifferent countenance with gentleness, and his face was reflected in her black eyes.He suddenly lost his cool.He turned sideways to kiss her cheek, but there were at least ten centimeters between them.Even though he tried to inch forward slightly, his head was injured, and he felt dizzy. Hence, he was unable to move at all.Duke felt annoyed as he moved his hand. His left hand was injured, but he was not receiving an infusion through it, so he could still move it.He raised his left hand slowly and grabbed Adina’s sweet-smelling hair.Adina was stunned.She turned to the side and caught Duke’s profound eyes.Although this man was bedridden, his eyes were also full of ferocity and intensity.After she took a step back, she realize
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,
