The wedding date was drawing closer.For the past few days, Adina and Duke had been busy with the wedding preparation, and her company called her on the day before the wedding.“Miss Daugherty, today we have to report the results of the project with Elitos. Are you attending in person?”Serene initially did not want to make the call. After all, everyone in the city knew that Miss Daugherty was getting married.But there were too many hidden variables concerning the project. She was afraid that something would happen if she went to report by herself.The company was finally developed to this scale today. They could not be stepped on somehow.Adina nodded and said, “I’m ready to go now. Let’s meet outside Elitos.”She had arranged the time for today.Since Elitos and the Jones family wanted to look for her in trouble, she would go and solve them one by one.“Do you want me to go with you?” Duke wrapped around her waist and softly asked.Adina smiled. “It’s just a small matter.
As soon as she pushed the door open and got out, Serene went toward her. She exclaimed with an exaggerated gawk on her face. “Wow, Miss Daugherty! It’s only been a few days, but you seem to have become prettier! Women who are in love really start glowing. We will definitely succeed in the reporting of results today!”Adina was speechless.Did her personal life have anything to do with her work?“Wow, isn’t this Miss Daugherty who is getting married?”A scornful voice was heard from the back.When Adina turned around, she saw Jasmine pushing the car door open and getting out. Something was flashing in her eyes.Jasmine walked over, wrapped her arms around her chest, and said, “Miss Daugherty, it looks like Duke is not sincere to you. Otherwise, why would he let you come out and work your fingers to the bones right before your wedding?”Adina’s gaze was indifferent. She smiled faintly. “Speaking of the wedding, I suddenly recall that it seems like I didn’t give you the invitation
Adina’s gaze was indifferent, and her expression was aloof. She did not look angry after her proposal was stolen.When Jasmine saw Adina looking like this, she suddenly felt a little flustered.Did Adina the bi*ch still have another plan that was more perfect?She calmed herself down before she said, “It’s not the time for questions now. Please present your work now.”“What are you afraid of, Miss Yackley?” Adina smiled in a relaxed manner. “Are you afraid of getting exposed because you can’t answer my questions?”“What… what nonsense are you talking about?” Jasmine’s face turned pale. “Ask anything you want. I’m not afraid of anything.”Adina tapped her finger knuckle before she indifferently asked, “How many modules are there in this chip solution design?”Jasmine was completely stunned.She had only memorized the script. She knew nothing other than the presentation.“About one thousand,” her assistant reminded her in a low voice from the side.Jasmine scoffed. “There are a
She did not expect that things would progress to this point.“This is what people mean when they say, like mother, like daughter.” Adina indifferently smiled. “I can forgive Mdm. Jones, so I naturally can also forgive you. After all, you’re still very young.”As soon as she said that, the people’s gazes at Jasmine were filled with contempt.Previously, Zhenny aggressively attended the celebration party of Elitos and defamed Adina for plagiarism, but she was actually the person who plagiarized.Everyone in this room had witnessed that incident personally.But now, they witnessed a similar incident again.“You… don’t talk nonsense!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not a programmer. Of course, I can’t explain this. If I let our Chief Technical Officer present the result, his performance will not be worse than yours.”When Adina saw that Jasmine still tried to quibble, she laughed due to anger.Adina sneered and said, “It looks like I have to let the police get involved an
After Adina spoke, she left the meeting room with Serene.Once the others left the meeting room, Jasmine could no longer hold her anger back. She raised her hand and threw the documents to the floor.“Jasmine, you better not go against Ms. Daugherty.” Mr. Krisman lit up a cigarette and said, “Not only is she capable, but you also know that she’s marrying into the Winters family tomorrow. She’ll be Mrs. Winters, so if possible, build a good relationship with her. That’s better and more advantageous to you in my opinion.”Jasmine gritted her teeth furiously. “Uncle Benny, you promised my mom that you would kick Adina out. But in the end, I had to lower my status and apologize to her in front of so many people. I was totally embarrassed! I don’t care. Uncle Benny, you have to come up with a way to remove Adina from this project.”Mr. Krisman breathed out some smoke. “She’s all the rage now. This is not the time to kick her out. Just wait.”Jasmine was livid.Wait? How long did she s
Mrs. Winters’ complexion turned pale.She knew that this would be the outcome, but she was not willing to give up. She insisted on asking him.Her two sons, who only lived together in harmony for a few brief months as infants, had been enemies ever since they first met in their teens.Both of them were her sons. She did not know whose side to choose.Perhaps a mother would instinctively be more protective of the more inferior child, and Earl happened to be the vulnerable one.Mrs. Winters covered her chest and softly said, “Okay, I’ll ask him not to come.”After she said that, she walked away and slowly went upstairs.Duke’s eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at his mother’s back.He had been searching for Earl’s whereabouts lately, but Earl always managed to get away.Since Earl was able to contact their mother now, he could use the phone signal to track Earl.Meanwhile, Adina drove to the Xavier family’s mansion.The Xavier family’s mansion had put up new and fest
Mdm. Xavier frowned. “Did the Jones family receive a wedding invitation?”Dillon felt slightly awkward. “No.”He purposely came to deliver the gift one day in advance because he did not receive the wedding invitation card.He did not see Adina after he went to the Winters family’s mansion, so he went to the Xavier family’s mansion instead.“This is a wedding gift that I prepared for Ms. Daugherty.” Dillon took out a small box from his shirt pocket before he lifted the lid. “This emerald green jadeite necklace really compliments you, Ms. Daugherty. I hope you’ll accept it.”Adina looked at the necklace.It was the item that Dillon had wanted to give to her at the wedding gown shop the other day. It was a piece of jewelry that her mother used to wear.“Oh, why does this necklace look a little familiar?” Mdm. Xavier frowned before she immediately chuckled. “I’m old, and I’ve seen too many things, so I find everything familiar. Mr. Jones, please don’t mind me.”Dillon smiled and sp
Adina lay on the bed. She kept tossing and turning, but she could not fall asleep.While she had insomnia, the phone under her pillow vibrated. She took a peek and found that it was a video call from Duke.She immediately answered the call.“Dear, are you still awake?”A sweet feeling filled Adina’s heart. “I can’t sleep. What about you?”“I can’t sleep either.” Duke leaned to the side in bed, and his gaze was affectionate. “I don’t know who came up with such a rule to separate us.”Adina chuckled and said, “We’re just not together for one day. Can you be more mature?”“Why should I be mature in front of my wife?” Duke stared at the phone screen and said, “Rest well tonight. I’ll pick you up early in the morning.”“Don’t even think about it. My grandma mentioned that the time to pick the bride up has been fixed. It’s apparently at 10.08 am.”Duke appeared gloomy. “I can only see you in another eleven hours.”Adina smiled faintly again.The two of them kept chatting until Adi
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,
