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
After a night of progress, the news on the Internet intensified.While the netizens came up with all kinds of conspiracies and guesses, Winters Corporation made an announcement.[Mr. Duke Winters will hold a press conference in Sea City Private Hospital at 10.00 am today. We welcome the reporters to come on time.]As soon as the announcement was released, the netizens on the internet instantly became excited.[Is Duke Winters going to clarify?][Clarify? The invitation card is exposed. They must be getting engaged!][Why is he holding the press conference then?][Why are you in a rush? It’s 9 a.m. now. The press conference will start in an hour. I will watch the live-stream!][I’ll watch it too!][......]There was a heated discussion among the netizens before the press conference started.Meanwhile, Adina just opened her eyes.She cast a glance at the time. It was already 9 a.m.She actually slept in the hospital ward until this hour!She immediately sat up, and she real
Adina was so embarrassed that she blushed.“B*stard!” she cursed in a low voice.“I can be more like a b*stard.”Duke held her waist and spoke teasingly.He enjoyed seeing the woman appear vulnerable against him.Adina felt helpless.This man seemed so righteous and serious. But why would he turn into a b*stard whenever they were in private?“Don’t do that in a place like this again!”Adina glared at him.“Okay, I’ll kiss you when we get home.” Duke moved closer to her ear and softly said, “The marriage certificate is in your hand. You’re officially my wife now. We can take our time.”His words made Adina’s face turn crimson.She could reject him with all kinds of excuses in the past, but they were a legally married couple now. If he insisted on it, she could not reject him anymore.When Adina thought about it, she was taken aback for a while.She remembered hating intimacy between men and women after that incident five years ago.Whenever a man approached her intentional
