The temperature in the ward instantly increased.She was not an innocent girl who had not experienced anything. Although she did not quite understand most things of a sexual nature, she still had some knowledge… She knew that things would really get out of control if she let Duke continue kissing her.“Stop… Stop kissing me…” Adina raised her arms and lightly moved the man’s chest away.Duke held the back of her head and rested his forehead against hers. His voice was hoarse and low. “I still want to kiss you. What should I do?”Adina’s face turned red, and her heart pounded quickly again.She bit her swollen bottom lip. She felt shy and irritated as she said, “The ward door isn’t closed.”“I’ll go and close it now.”As Duke spoke, he tried to jump off the bed.Adina was speechless.Did he mean that?She quickly pressed him down. “You haven’t recovered. Don’t walk around. Just lie down.”When Duke raised his head, he saw her glowing eyes and slightly swollen red lips. He
When she got closer, she realized that Flint looked different today.His eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he did not sleep last night. He was a playboy who cared about his reputation the most. Yet, his suit was wrinkled, and his beard was sloppy. He was holding a cigarette with his fingers. He looked through the corridor before he stared at Adina gloomily.“What’s wrong with you?” Adina frowned. “What happened this time?”Every time Flint came to her in Sea City, something would be wrong. She was used to it.“I heard that you’re getting engaged?”When Flint spoke, his voice was incredibly hoarse as if his vocal cords were ruined.Adina was surprised.She finally understood why Flint looked like that.Some things had been said many times before, but clearly, Flint had not been really listening.She pursed her lips and said, “I’m getting married to Duke. We’ll be engaged on the sixth of next month, and the wedding won’t be too long after the engagement. If you have the ti
Flint’s gaze became profound and cold.He stared at Jasmine with a sneer and said, “So, do you think you have a chance to be with me?”“It doesn’t matter if I have the chance or not. You shouldn’t be with a woman like Adina again!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “She has two kids, and they’re illegitimate children with an unknown father. You’re the young master of the Morton family. You should—” “Shut up!”Flint stopped her from finishing her sentence.His eyes were filled with coldness. “I asked Adina for help to reject you because I wanted to defend your dignity. Who the heck are you to criticize Adina?”After he said that, he glanced at Jasmine with contempt. Then, he turned around and left.Jasmine was so angry that she trembled.She and Flint had been in a relationship a few years ago. But after she fell in love with him, Flint broke up with her.She never forgot him all these years.After she finally met him again, she put aside the reservation and restraint that
She just wanted her Uncle Dillon to teach Adina a lesson. Was it that difficult?“Uncle Dillon, do you know that this woman’s really vicious? She’s extremely arrogant because of her beauty. She even insulted us by calling me ugly and the Jones family rude.”“Is that true?” Dillon’s expression darkened. “How dare she torment the Jones family. Is she trying to disrespect us?”“Have you heard of the most beautiful woman in Sea City, Uncle Dillon? She’s gorgeous, but she shouldn’t insult us like this.” Jasmine faked her tears while she took out her phone and tapped on a photo. “Look, she seems so sycophantic. My boyfriend’s attracted to her because she used many tricks to seduce him. I really love my boyfriend. Uncle Dillon, you have to avenge me!”She kept talking but did not receive any reply.When she turned around, she saw Dillon staring at her phone screen. He even reached out to grab her phone.Jasmine was confused, so she frowned and asked, “Uncle Dillon, what’s wrong?”Dillo
The Internet was swept up in a wave of opinion.[Oh, my god! Where did this gossip come from? The most beautiful woman in Sea City and the CEO of Winters Corporation? How can the two of them get engaged? This has to be a rumor!][Ms. Daugherty was the most beautiful woman in Sea City five years ago. At that time, she was still an innocent girl, so perhaps she was good enough for Duke Winters back then. But now… she’s just a second-hand woman. She’s not good enough for Mr. Winters, right?][Besides, she still has two illegitimate kids. Have you forgotten about the fuss between her and Tyson Osborne? If her kids don’t belong to Tyson, whose kids could they be? Duke Winters wouldn’t raise someone else’s kids, would he?][How could a woman with two illegitimate children become the future Mrs. Winters?][This news has to be a rumor. Someone is purposely spreading rumors!]The netizens basically did not believe their engagement. While they discussed, they brought up Adina’s past and in
Duke frowned and said, “Addy and I should register there.”He did not want others to do it for him.Adina glared at him helplessly. “Are you still trying to get yourself discharged early? Lie down. Aunt Mabel, we’ll count on you for the marriage certificate.”“It’s a piece of cake.”Mrs. Winters grinned.When she turned around, she saw four small heads sticking out from the entrance of the ward.She immediately walked over with a smile and said, “The four of you, come home with me now.”Harold blinked and said, “Grandma, I heard that Dad and Mom are getting married. Is it true?”“Of course, it is.” Mrs. Winters smiled and said, “The wedding will be held on the sixth of next month. How do you feel? Are you happy, my babies?”“Wow! I’m excited!” Harold jumped up high. “After Dad and Mom get married, Mommy can live in our house. I want to sleep with her every night!”Mrs. Winters was speechless.This brat was bold enough to say such a thing. He was not afraid of being kicked ou
The netizens received an invitation card for the engagement party from somewhere, and it became a sensational topic as soon as it was published on Twitter.[The date of the engagement is the sixth of next month. It’s written clearly. This means Duke is really marrying Adina!][Oh god! Is my dream man going to be ruined like this?][This tells us one thing. As long as you’re pretty, it doesn’t matter how high the man’s status is, you can still get him!][Sisters, does anyone want to team up and undergo cosmetic surgery?]“Haha!”Jasmine, who was sitting on the couch, sneered.She took screenshots of various extreme comments made by netizens before she sent them to Flint.Jasmine could not understand what was so great about Adina for Flint to be stuck on her.No, she had to add more fuel to the fire and let Adina die in the public’s eye.While Jasmine operated her phone, a shadow suddenly loomed over her. She raised her head by reflex and saw Dillon standing in front of her. He
He never cared about fame and wealth. He never cared about these external things. Even though he was despised because of the heir-related incident ten years ago, he could not be bothered.He had been so carefree, yet in his sister’s eyes, he was still that kind of person who could chase his niece out of the family just for status.“Don’t judge me with your utilitarianism!”Dillon’s expression was cold as he turned around and left.When Zhenny saw his angry back, she frowned. “Jasmine, your uncle is always gentle. What did you do to make him so angry?”Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “That so-called most beautiful woman in Sea City, Adina Daugherty, stole my boyfriend. I was furious, so I hired a marketing agency to slander her. Then, Uncle Dillon got angry. He even lost his temper at me. I don’t even know what I did wrongly.”Zhenny narrowed her eyes.Adina Daugherty!Adina had defeated her in the fight for Elitos’ project last time!Now her precious daughter had also been
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,
