When Adina saw his back rapidly disappearing, she slowly pursed her lips.Unsure if it was her imagination, she always felt that this man’s emotions would go out of control whenever she mentioned Earley Wynters.Earley Wynters, Duke Winters… Duke Winters, Earley Wynters.She repeatedly mumbled these two names.“Mommy, why did Daddy leave?”Melody ran over, sounding like she was close to tears.Adina kept away her thoughts before she bowed down and lifted Melody up. “Daddy needs to work. I’ll play with you.”“No…” The little girl cried willfully. “I just want Daddy! If Daddy is not around, I don’t want to play either. Waa…” Adina sighed.What a spoiled girl.Before they got married, Duke did anything that Melody asked for. Even if she asked the moon, he could also take it down and give it to her.But after they got married, Duke suddenly did not come home for a month, and when he did come home, he did not pamper Melody in the way he used to.No one could bear such a level
It seemed to have something to do with the woman named Catherine. Dad had suddenly left soon after.Alden was very suspicious of whether his Dad had already fallen out of love.But he, as a child, could not understand such intricacies regarding adult emotions, and he also dared not ask his Mom about it.Now, his mother was looking for him alone. Was she going to tell him about it?Adina walked into Alden’s bedroom, closed the door with the back of her hand, and sat down on the edge of the bed. She indifferently said, “Take out your laptop.”Alden’s fingers tightened. “Mommy, I…” “I know you’re hiding that laptop under the bed. Take it out,” Adina softly said, “You’re not in trouble. I need your help.”Alden sighed in relief.He nearly thought that Mom knew that he had established a hacker studio online.If Mom was stepping in to stop him, he had only one option, which was to disband the studio.He was reluctant to give up the career that he had worked so hard on, but he was
Alden stood up, his gaze dark.He looked at George, who was similarly tall, and he slowly said, “I want to increase my assets. I want to have the ability to protect Mom.”George pursed his lips. “You still don’t trust Dad, right?”“Has he given me any reason to?” Alden asked George back. “People always say kids always change their thoughts very easily, like the weather in June, but Duke Winters changes even faster than kids. I can’t be sure if he will love Mom for the rest of his life, so I have to gather my strength. When Mom is completely disappointed in him, I’ll take her and Mel away.”“So…” George’s voice was hoarse. “You never thought about Harold and me?” “Your family name is Winters, while Mel and I are Daugherties. We are not the same.”Alden turned around and sat on the bed. He looked down and looked very off-putting.When George saw Alden looking like this, he did not know what he should say.When Dad and Mom had some problems, the first thing he thought about was t
Earl stood up, picked up the coat from the couch, and walked outside.George followed him while asking doubtfully, “Why are we going to the company?”“You’ll know when you arrive. Why do you ask so many questions?”Earl looked very impatient. He floored the accelerator, and the car sped down the road.George held the seat belt tightly, and he stared at Earl driving with his dark gaze.He suddenly found his father very strange.He also finally understood why Alden would have such thoughts.The car stopped in front of the Winter Corporation with a hard brake.It was just 7:00 am now. It was not rush hour, so there were only a few people in the company.When everyone saw that Mr. Winters bringing the young master in, they respectfully greeted them.Earl showed a cold expression. He took George directly to the top floor and pushed open the door of the CEO’s office.“Have you been here before?”Earl lazily sat on the couch and coldly asked.George nodded. “Dad, you used to brin
George took a notebook and drew various complex symbols on the paper.He had arranged all the numbers into a specific order and combined all the letters into various complex English words.Earl walked over and took a glance, but he could not understand a thing.Although he descended from the Winters family, he was abandoned because of his health condition after he was born.He never attended preschool and attended middle school intermittently before he finished. The level of his education prevented him from holding on to the position of Winters Corporation’s CEO firmly. Therefore, he needed to make sure he had a strong grip on everything now.Earl had the urge to smoke again. He stroked his chin and walked out of the CEO’s office.George lowered his head as he calculated and wrote on the draft paper. After a moment of calculating, he still could not come up with the eight-digit password combination.Perhaps he should give it a try first.Perhaps it was the date of Winters Cor
Earl narrowed his eyes.George and Duke looked really alike. They had identical eyes, as well as thin lips, and they emitted the same aura.If George was taller, Earl would have almost thought that fifteen-year-old Duke was standing in front of him.Duke had suppressed him over the past twenty years.He would not tolerate Duke anymore.“I don’t have time to answer your question!” Earl’s gaze was intense and ruthless. “I’m asking you now. Why were you searching through my drawers?”His gaze was extremely sharp like an arrow as he stared into George’s eyes.No matter how smart and calm George was, he was only a four-year-old kid. He simply could not bear the pressure.His lips slowly turned pale, and his back was drenched in cold sweat again.“He was looking for something for me. What’s wrong?” An indifferent voice came from outside the office.When George raised his head and looked over, he saw Adina walk over slowly in her high heels. Then, she shielded him.His heart strang
Besides, there was a very thick callus on this person’s purlicue. He must have held a gun often.Why would there be someone like this around Duke?A lot of speculations flashed in Adina’s mind, but they lasted only a second or two. She suppressed her thoughts, squatted down, and smiled gently as she said, “Georgie, go home with Uncle Arden. Mommy will go back and keep you company at night.”George was really frightened.He realized that his dad was different from before.He also needed some time to digest what he had just seen, so he nodded. “Goodbye, Mommy. I’ll go back first.”He looked down and walked out of the office.Adina only sighed in relief after she saw George leave.She sat on the couch and flashed Earl a bright smile. “What occasion are we attending later?”“It’s a business event,” Earl said indifferently. “If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”“If I don’t go, will you ask Catherine to accompany you? Or Ms. Clark?” Adina rested her face on both of her hand
It was the annual business banquet in Sea City, and the organizers had invited many business bigwigs.Before the event officially began, there was already a long line of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel. People were dressed up, and it was lively.A black car soon stopped in front of the hotel. When a man and a woman stepped out in front of everyone, they attracted the attention of countless people.“Aren’t they Mr. and Mrs. Winters?”“The reporters have been spreading rumors that they’re divorced. They look quite close, don’t they?”“Haven’t you heard of a separating couple that still looks united on the surface? I don’t think they look like a couple.”“My friend works in Winters Corporation. He heard that Duke has been very close to a foreign woman. They always spend at least an hour in the office alone. When a man and a woman stay in a room for about an hour, what do you think happens?”“My cousin’s husband’s brother works as a driver for the Winters family’s neighbor.
