At 12:00 am, Alden sat in bed while he tapped on his laptop’s keyboard.[Surveillance at the entrance to Auguste’s manor has been destroyed.[Surveillance on the left side of the manor has been destroyed…[The alarm at the southwestern corner is going off virtually. Half of the men have gone to the southwestern corner.[The alarm at the southeastern corner is going off virtually. The other half of the men have gone to the southeastern corner.]As the mission progressed, Auguste’s manor fell into chaos.A sturdy figure took advantage of the chaos and entered the manor.He was a standard Astroysian. He had black and short hair, as well as heroic features, but there was a scar extending from his eyebrow to his lips. He appeared ferocious and scary.He rolled into the mansion and entered like it was nobody’s business.A commanding voice then echoed in his headphones.“Two concealed guards are approaching at nine o’clock… Maids passing by at four o’clock… “Auguste is at the cent
Adina did not know where she was.There was suddenly a bloody fog in front of her, and a huge rush of blood flooded over her. Then, an infinite feeling of suffocation gradually came over her.She breathed heavily, but she heard the familiar voice of a man, which came from deep within the bloody fog.“Addy… “Addy…” She heard it again and again; it sounded like the desperate cries of someone facing death.“Who are you? Where are you?!”Adina screamed at the top of her lungs, and her voice resounded in the bloody fog, but she stopped hearing any replies.Her heart instantly tightened as if someone had stabbed her in the heart with a knife and twisted it viciously.It was painful… Her heart was in pain… She was in agony… When Adina opened her eyes abruptly, she realized that it was just a nightmare.She had been experiencing the same nightmare for a dozen days after she fell asleep every night.The person who kept calling her name in the dream was Duke, right?She had t
“One more sentence, and you won’t receive your salary this month!” Mr. Roberts reprimanded his secretary before he turned around and entered his office.His secretary stomped his feet in dissatisfaction, but he could not do anything.Adina had no idea what was happening in the company next door.The moving process was fast. In less than an hour, everything had been moved to Daugherty Corporation’s building. Adina instructed the HR Department to place the office supplies, and everything was back to normal. When she returned from the restroom, she suddenly felt everyone around her look at her with a strange gaze.“Ms. Daugherty, please have some rest in your office first.” Serene walked Adina to the CEO’s office. She spoke in a way that felt like she was embarrassed. “Ms. Daugherty, if you have time, you can check out the news on your phone.”Adina did not understand. “Is the news related to me?”Serene’s eyes were filled with sympathy. “It’s related to Mr. Winters.”Adina’s hea
Adina held a red wine glass and finished its contents.Before she finished her work at the company, she took her car keys and drove back to the Winters family’s mansion.It was 3:00 pm when she arrived at the Winters family’s mansion. The children were still having classes in preschool. It was the new education plan that Adina had set for the kids.Harold and Melody would attend preschool five days every week, while George and Alden would attend it three days a week. No matter how smart the children were, they had to follow a child’s normal path of growth step by step.Mrs. Winters was sitting in the living room and watching TV. She turned around when she heard the sound of the car engine. The moment Adina walked in, she was taken aback, but it soon dawned upon her.“I’m back, Mom.”Adina stood at the hallway’s entrance and changed her shoes. She appeared calm.Mrs. Winters dared not confirm her guess. She walked over with a smile and asked, “Aren’t you moving your office today?
“I… I guess so.” Mrs. Winters sighed. “Things were challenging in the European factory, and Winters Corporation has lost a lot of money. Your dad had to deal with clients every day. It’d be strange if he doesn’t become more bad-tempered.”“But… Dad shouldn’t bring his bad temper from work home,” Alden said indifferently. “I’m just saying.” Mrs. Winters stroked the children’s heads. “Once your dad’s back, he’ll realize that George is taller, Alden’s hair is longer, Harold’s forehead has two pimples, and Melody is prettier…” Half a month was not long, but it was definitely not short either.Anyone could change.So, they should not be surprised if their dad was different from before.They had also changed, right?Mrs. Winters clenched her fists tightly and kept convincing herself to carry on.At 6:00 pm, dinner was ready in the Winters family’s mansion.The four children were playing in the courtyard while waiting for their father to come home.Even Harold, who was at odds wit
“These are gifts for you and Mel.”Earl casually passed her a paper bag.Adina took it with a look of indifference.There were two gifts inside the paper bag. One was a bottle of perfume, while the other one was a Barbie doll.These two gifts… She chuckled again. “Did you ask your assistant to buy these?”She and Melody already had the same perfume and Barbie doll respectively. If this man had personally bought the gifts, he would not have brought them the same things from afar.Earl dodged her gaze before he nonchalantly said, “I was too busy, so I didn’t have time to go to the gift shop. Why? Don’t you like them?”Adina smiled indifferently before she simply threw them on the couch.When she looked up again, her gaze became scrutinizing. “Duke Winters, we should talk,” she said firmly.“What would you like to talk about?”The man suddenly raised his hand and lifted the strands of her hair that had fallen on her chest.For some reason, Adina thought of the scene where he
The clear slap made the silence in the living room more pronounced.Earl’s tongue had been against the left side of his face, which Adina ended up slapping. As a result, his gaze became more ruthless. “Why? Shouldn’t you fulfill your duty as a wife?”“This is marital r*pe!” Adina glared at him. “Duke Winters, I don’t understand why you’re completely different now after the wedding! Are those promises that you made when you married me fake? Did you marry me only because you wanted to give the kids a complete family?”The man stared at her with cold and profound eyes. “I don’t want to explain.”There was no need for him to explain.He was not Duke Winters. Why should he pamper Duke’s woman and children?But this woman tasted really good.The man licked his lips, and his tone grew softer. “Addy, we haven’t seen each other for half a month. Don’t you miss me? We never slept together after our wedding. I still owe you a wedding night. Let’s make up for it today.”Adina felt truly re
“Mom, don’t worry.”Earl slowly exhaled, producing a smoke ring.The corners of his lips twitched, revealing a sinister smile.“I was the original heir of the Winters family, and everything in the family should belong to me. I’ll be the one who ensures that the glory of the Winters family lasts through the ages. As for Adina and the four children, they belong to Duke. Why should I help the man who wants to kill me defend his lover? I’m already being nice by not killing them.”“What are you planning?”Mabel widened her eyes. She looked absolutely flabbergasted. “What am I planning?” Earl tossed the cigarette butt to the floor, and the sparks instantly burned a hole in the carpet.He lifted his foot and crushed the cigarette. He then said coldly, “Before I become the chairman of Winters Corporation, I won’t hurt Adina at all. I hope she understands this and doesn’t bother me.”After saying that, he slammed the door shut and walked away.Mabel broke down. Tears streamed down 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. 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,
