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

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.

Before they could feel more joy, they heard something that broke their hearts even further.“Adina Daugherty and I are not getting engaged. We’re getting married.”Buzz!The quiet lobby erupted into chaos like bubbling boiled water.The reporters thought they had misheard him, so they extended their microphones.“Mr. Winters, do you mean Ms. Adina Daugherty and you are getting married?”“Mr. Winters, is this Adina Daugherty the first daughter of the Daugherty family, also known as the most beautiful woman in Sea City?”“Mr. Winters, will your wedding be on the sixth
[Tyson Osborne filed a custody case against Adina some time ago. Why didn’t Duke come out and clarify that the kids belong to him?][Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with this? Since they’re married and they have kids, why did he allow the netizens to insult Adina for so long?][Did Duke have to admit that the kids belong to him after Adina successfully stole his heart?][That’s possible!]Dillon sat in his office while he watched the live stream using his Ipad. His face was filled with disbelief.His Addy was already married!On top of that, she had married into the Winters family, which was the most powerful family in Sea City. She had become Mrs. Winters!If he sought her, would Addy think he was purposely trying to get in her good graces now that she was a Winters?Dillon held his forehead.He had done nothing when Addy was at her most tired and difficult time.Addy’s life had become much better.

“Mom, I’ve seen the news.”A cold, airy voice was heard from the other end of the phone.Mabel’s face instantly turned pale. Adina hurriedly supported her swaying body as she asked worriedly, “Mrs. Winters, are you okay? Do you want to take a seat first?”“I’m okay,” Mabel sighed and said with a smile, “Let me answer a call.”She walked out, closed her eyes, and said softly, “Earl, Duke has told me what happened last time. I really didn’t expect you to take my trust for granted and attack your own brother. Earl, I believed you once, and I’ll never do that again. I won’t see you anymore. Leave Sea City. Go somewhere far away, and never come back.”“Mom, you’ve only seen the part where I harmed him. Have you ever questioned why I did that?” Earl hissed, “I’ve worked so hard to run the company for decades, and it was ruined by Duke! I just wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine. I wanted him to experience how I felt for so many years. What’s wrong with that?“He’s having t
“Oh, really? You should be happy instead, shouldn’t you?”“But Earl’s company has been destroyed, and he’s kicked out of Sea City. I’m truly upset whenever I think of how he has to constantly find places to hide…” Catherine frowned. “Earl was young when he attacked Duke. It has been so long, and Duke should let it go. He has a family of his own now. He has a wife and four children. Why can’t he let Earl off the hook? Aunt Mabel, let me talk to Duke.”“No, please don’t!”Mabel tugged on Catherine’s arm. However, Catherine gently pushed her hand away. She said with a smile, “Speaking of which, I’ve never seen Duke in person before. Why don’t you introduce us to each other?”…… Adina and her children were looking through the magazines filled with designs for wedding stages and wedding desserts. The boys were not interested, but Melody looked on with relish. She questioned many things she saw as they flipped through the pages.As the five of them were chatting, Mabel and a blonde
