Adina’s gaze became colder.

Even while Ruby worked hard to maintain the pretense of a loving mother, her father just exposed his true self.

She naturally knew it was impossible to get her shares of the Daugherty Corporation. No, based on the shamelessness of the Daugherty family, it was impossible for her to get back the shares if she did this.

But she insisted on asking it at this time. It was also good to cause some trouble for these people.

She bit her bottom lip, and she pitifully said, “Dad, I do not want to be the heir, but can you return the shares of Daugherty Corporation to me? That’s the heritage my mother left for me. I hope you can give it back to me.”

Aaron’s expression became darker.

Initially, he begrudgingly put up with this daughter, but it looked like there was no need to keep her.

She humiliated the family five years ago, and she should have died in the fire.

As soon as she came back, she just caused trouble. If she was still alive, she would only bring more

    Adina smiled faintly.If she could get back half of the shares today, her visit was not a total waste.As for the remaining half, she believed she would be able to get them back after some time.She chuckled. “Dew and I are sisters. She doesn’t need to thank me.”Old Mrs. Daugherty was not very healthy, so it was already difficult for her to find the strength to attend the banquet.When she finally saw the eldest granddaughter who went missing for four years, she finally felt rest assured, so her body instantly sagged down again.“Simon, prepare the shares transfer agreement now. They will sign it now.”Old Mrs. Daugherty coughed before she coldly gave her instruction.She was sick, so she could pass away anytime. She had to sort this trouble out before she died.“Grandma, there’s no need to rush this, right?” Dew suppressed her unwillingness, and she said, “It’s the same to sign it again tomorrow.”Ruby also said, “Yes. Mom, why should we rush it now? It’s your birthday toda

    Dew immediately denied it.She ruthlessly glared at Adina, and she hoped this bi*ch would sensibly leave earlier!However, she was destined to feel disappointed.Adina chuckled.Now she knew that the Daugherty family had climbed on the Winters family, but Duke did not seem to like Dew.But she did not know why Duke still wanted to stay here and deal with the Daugherty family members when he clearly did not like Dew.But all this was none of her business.She just needed to know that the Daugherty family wanted to maintain their dignity in front of Duke.She smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Winters, we were discussing the shares of the Daugherty Corporation. You can also be our witness.”Duke seemed to be interested. “Oh, what kind of witness?”“Addy!” Ruby angrily interrupted Adina. “This is the family matter of the Daugherty family. You shouldn’t let anyone else know about it.”But Old Mrs. Daugherty suddenly said, “Duke is also like our family. It’s nothing for him to know.”

    Adina calmly explained about the background and dubious whereabouts of the 50% of shares of the Daugherty Corporation.After she explained, she indifferently said, “In your opinion, is it reasonable for me to get back the shares that my mother left to me?”“It’s not reasonable.”Duke indifferently answered.Dew’s expression showed excitement.This man had really taken her side!When Duke said that, she had the reason to refuse signing the transfer agreement of the shares. Even her grandmother could not criticize her.Adina’s expression turned cold.Indeed, she should not have entertained this man. She had wasted her time talking to him.When she was about to speak, Duke’s voice was heard.“Miss Daugherty, if I were you, I would use all methods to get back 100% of the shares.” The man’s voice was filled with coldness. “How can you give half of your mother’s legacy to others?”Adina was startled.Was this what he meant when he said it was unreasonable?Did she misunderstand

    Old Mrs. Daugherty no longer had the strength to support herself. She got to her feet with the help of the housekeeper.Adina also got up. She held Old Mrs. Daugherty’s right hand. “Grandma, I’ll help you in.”Old Mrs. Daugherty nodded. Then, the two of them went into the resting lounge.The atmosphere dining hall was still chirpy.This was the first time Duke visited the Daugherty family, so all the family members thought that the marriage between the family and the Winters family was a done deal.“Duke, they have recently released a new movie. You should go and watch it with Dew in the afternoon,” Ruby grinned and said, “After the movie, you can go shopping for a while before you have a candlelight dinner. How romantic that would be!”Dew shyly lowered her head. She wanted it, but she still said, “Duke should be very busy in the afternoon. How would we have the time for a movie?”“Well, no matter how busy you are, you still have to take some time to cultivate the relationship

    Adina opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat.Just as she was about to start the engine, the door to the passenger seat opened.Duke bent down and got in the car. He looked calm and relaxed as if he was in his own car.Adina flashed him a sarcastic smile. “What are you doing, Mr. Winters?”“My car broke down. Please send me back.” Duke leaned back in the seat as he spoke nonchalantly. “It won’t be a waste of your time.”Adina moved her hands away from the steering wheel before she calmly said, “I believe that the Daugherty family members would be willing to send you back. Should I call Dew?”“Are you really afraid of being alone with me?”Duke suddenly lowered his body, and his cold face moved a few inches closer to Adina.They could feel each other’s breath, and for some reason, the air between them became flirty.Adina’s heart fluttered all of a sudden.She pretended to remain calm as she turned around and held the steering wheel. “Thank you for saving my daught

    She had investigated the business situation in Sea City, and she could tell that Winters Corporation dominated it. If she could work with Winters Corporation, it would be like boarding a safe ship. She could just wait to receive money.But why would Duke choose her?Was it just because the professor from Harfard University recommended her?She had not been the only student talented in designing chips at Harfard University. She had only managed to be ranked third best.While Adina contemplated in silence, she finally arrived at the Winters’ family mansion.It was situated halfway up the mountain. The three-story independent mansion was not very big, but the pool, garden, and playground occupied at least one thousand square feet.This was the real mansion.“Mr. Winters, I’ll think about the collaboration. I’ll give you my answer in three days.”Adina wore a polite faint smile as she spoke.Duke opened the door, nodded, and said, “I’ll await your good news then.”Soon after, h

    Adina seriously stared at Harold. “You’re a boy. You can’t cry so easily.”Melody was a girl, and she rarely cried too.“I won’t cry anymore, Auntie Adina…” Harold sniffed. “I… I haven’t seen you for such a long time. I’ve missed you…” As soon as he said that, his face turned red.The corner of Duke’s lips twitched.When did this rascal learn how to say such cringey words? Why had he not been aware of it?Besides, what kind of charm did this woman have to make this mischievous boy, Harold, look so pitiful and sad?Adina felt embarrassed because of it too.She was actually fond of the kid, but Harold was a child of the Winters family. If she showed him too much concern, they might suspect her of trying to seek connections with the Winters family.She put Harold on the floor and said in a low voice, “I still have something else to do, so I’ll be on my way. Goodbye.”“No!”Harold hugged her thighs.It sounded like he was choking up again. “You just got here, but you’re alread

    Duke, on the other hand, looked down on her.She was a lady, who had lived a pampered life. Would she be able to cook?Even if she picked up some cooking skills over the years, it was impossible for her to be better than the chef, whom the Winters family hired and paid handsomely.Adina did not care about what the Winters thought.So, she followed Mr. Brown into the kitchen. There were different kinds of fresh ingredients there, and it looked like the kitchen of a big hotel.She glanced around before she took two tomatoes and a pack of spaghetti out. She planned to make a simple spaghetti with tomato sauce.Mr. Brown stood at the side and reminded her, “The young master doesn’t like spaghetti…” He was hinting at her to change the dish.However, Adina chuckled. “He’s been skipping many meals. He should eat something light so that his stomach can digest it.”After she spoke, she lit up the stove and poured the oil into the pan. She moved swiftly and did everything in one go.M

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “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.
