Catherine was sitting by the hospital bed. Duke looked at her and said indifferently, “Do you have something to tell me?”“I’m just an outsider. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t get involved in the Winters family’s affair. But I’m Aunt Mabel’s friend. I can’t just stand by and watch her as troubles weigh her down day by day.” Catherine said plainly, “Mr. Winters, you’re a fortunate child, the heir of the Winters family, the leader of Winters Corporation. You’re shining so bright that everyone admires you. What’s more, you’re marrying the love of your life very soon, and you’ll live a happy family of six. You’re living your best life, but have you wondered why your brother is in deep waters?” Duke narrowed his eyes. His gaze suddenly turned cold. Catherine was stunned when she saw his reaction.‘I have seen pictures of Duke on Aunt Mabel’s phone before, and at that time I was amazed at how identical Duke and Earl looked. Their facial features, outlines, and body shapes looked as
‘The Winters family is most unlike the other wealthy families I’ve met. Mrs. Winters isn’t as rigid and picky as those rich and noble ladies. She’s gentle, and the Winters family has always been peaceful. It’s harmonious. Why is she saying that she can’t fulfill the late Mr. Winters’ wish?’When Adina saw how heartbroken Mrs. Winters were, she did not dare to ask any more questions. She could only comfort her softly. “Thanks, Addy. I’m feeling much better now. You can go accompany Duke in the ward. I need to be alone.”Adina nodded and watched as Mrs. Winters walked off. She did not ask her children to come to the ward with her when she saw that they were having a good time. The moment she entered the ward, she could feel something was off. Duke was laying on the bed with a dark expression. He looked extremely cold and fierce. Adina walked over and asked gently, “What happened?”“Nothing.”Duke looked at her and his cold expression gradually faded away. “Really?” Adina
“Mr. Winters, the brain scans are out.” The doctor handed out a report and spoke in a serious manner. “The blood clot in the back of your head is coagulated. Your body might find this difficult to break down. We might need to perform surgery to clear it out…”Duke frowned. “What if I don’t do it?”“You will suffer from frequent headaches…” The doctor paused and said, “It’s just a minor surgery. You will recover in two months. Mr. Winters, do you want to get it done first?”Duke pursed his lips. ‘I have too many things on hand. I can’t do the surgery now.’He said with a frown, “Let me finish up some matters first. I’ll come back for a full check-up.”“Okay, but it’s best for you to come within three months.” The doctor handed him the report. “Stay in the hospital for a week for observation. You will be discharged if everything is fine.”Duke stroked his chin. “I’ll be getting married next month on the sixth.”The doctor was at a loss for words.‘I’ve known this for quite some
The pink dress was so pretty.The employee smiled and said, “Mrs. Winters has prepared pink suits for the young masters as well. Let me help them try it out.”Harold forgot about competing for his father’s limelight when he was fixated on the opportunity to wear the same color clothes as her sister.He followed the employee into the fitting room happily.George and Alden looked at each other and went after them. Melody was in her pink dress, spinning in front of the mirror. All of a sudden, she held her stomach and frowned. “I’m hungry.”“Ms., wait here. I’ll get you some cookies.”The employee adored Melody so much. She hurriedly went to the pantry to get something for her to eat.Melody sat on the sofa and waited quietly.At that moment, a man emerged from among the rows of clothes. “Hey, little girl. Are you hungry? I have a lollipop.”Melody turned and looked at that man with a frown. It was an old man, standing at the other end of the sofa, holding a dozen colorful
George was speechless. ‘How can I let my own sister eat stuff from the trash can?‘Is there a screw loose in your brain, Harold?”“The lollipop in the trash can serves as evidence.” George said coldly, “Recently, many human traffickers tempt children with poisonous lollipops and other snacks. After children faint from eating them, the traffickers will take the opportunity to carry them into the van. When parents finally realize what’s happening, their children would have already been abducted by human traffickers!”‘So, you’re a human trafficker!” Harold said angrily, “How dare you try to lie to my sister. Are you trying to dig your own grave?!”He narrowed his eyes. “I’m calling the police.”Dillon was at loss. ‘Before I come here, I’ve known all about the four children in the Winters family. The eldest and the third are very smart, and the second is particularly difficult to deal with. Only the youngest sister is the easiest target.‘That’s why, when no one was watching, I
“Hal, don’t say that. There is no way Mr. Jones is a human trafficker.” Adina lifted the hem of her dress as she walked over. She said in surprise, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones. The children don’t know what they are talking about. I hope they haven’t caused you any trouble.” “Mommy, he really is a human trafficker,” George frowned and said. “He tempted Melody to eat a lollipop. Only a human trafficker would do something like that.” Alden nodded. “We have already called the cops.” Dillon remained calm and said, “Ms. Daugherty, your daughter is adorable, and I couldn’t help but give her a lollipop. I really didn’t mean any harm to her.” “I know.” Adina nodded. She turned around and looked at her son. “Al, call off the police.” Alden did not move. This man was too suspicious. Everything about him screamed “bad guy”. Adina slapped her hand against her forehead in resignation. “This is Mr. Jones. The eldest son of the Jones Corporation. The Jones family is ranked among the top three
Duke was eventually discharged as he wished. They arrived at the Winters family’s house just in time for dinner. The kids were sitting obediently at the table, eating their dinner. When he saw them walk in, Harold put down his spoon and darted toward them. “Yeah! Mommy, you are finally back!” “Mommy, are you still going to go to the hospital tonight?” Alden asked. “Ahem!” Duke let out a loud cough. The kids’ attention finally shifted to him. George remarked with surprise, “Daddy, you got discharged so soon?” “Oh, you should have stayed in the hospital for a few more days, Daddy.” Harold was quite bummed. When his daddy wasn’t around, no one was around to restrain him. He could do whatever he wanted and had so much fun. Duke was speechless. He was their father. Were these boys hoping that he would not return for the rest of their lives? “Come, come. Let’s sit down and have dinner.” Mrs. Winters ordered the servants to bring up two sets of dinnerware. After Duke and
“Come upstairs with me.” Mrs. Winters carried Melody in one arm and held Harold’s hand as she led the children upstairs. “You will have plenty of chances to make it up for the kids, but not tonight.” Duke leaned in and whispered into Adina’s ear, “Tonight is our wedding night. Let’s not waste the evening away.” Adina immediately blushed. He was such a flirt. How could he say something like that with other people present? Mr. Brown took in their interaction, which he interpreted as them flirting. The old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Mrs. Winters, perhaps you would like to go upstairs and take a look at the bedroom first and see if there is anything else you need.” Adina could feel her gut tighten when she heard the title, Mrs. Winters. It suddenly dawned upon her that she and Duke really were married. She had become a part of the Winters family. “Come on, let’s go upstairs and take a look.” Duke wrapped his arm around her slender waist and steered her
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.

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,
