As night fell, the lights in the mansion’s courtyard lit up, one by one. The bright lights were reflected in the children’s eyes. In the light, there was her figure. Adina’s heart was filled with tenderness. If she asked the kids to leave now, they would certainly refuse to listen to her. However, it was too dangerous for them to stay in the Winters family’s mansion. She pursed her lips and decided without hesitation. She said, “Now is not the time to get a divorce, but we can’t stay in the Winters family’s mansion anymore. I will go upstairs and pack our things. We will move out tonight.” She had just walked into the mansion when she was stopped by Mabel. Mabel had been standing on pins and needles all day. It was as if her heart had been thrown into a frying pan, and only she knew what it felt like. She had seen the news on the internet. There were all kinds of rumors about their divorce. Before she could even digest it, the children came back. It was not a good thi
Mel was preparing to call her daddy and run to him, but his smile scared her instead.‘I haven’t seen Daddy in just a few days, so how did he become so scary?’She turned around and hid in Adina’s arms. With one hand in his pocket, Earl walked slowly toward Adina while his black leather shoes clicked against the cold marble floor.Three of the children stopped him from approaching before he could even get close to her.“Don’t you dare bully Mommy!” Harold said with gritted teeth as he spread his arms wide.George’s lips tightened into a thin line, and he asked, “Was the news today true, Daddy?”“At this point, it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. Mommy has already suffered from it,” Alden said calmly. “There’s no use staying in a place where Mommy has been hurt.”Earl traced the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue like a ruffian and laughed coldly before saying, “This is a problem between adults. What does it have to do with you three?” He shoved Harold aside with
Once again, the Winters family had taken over the news headlines. [Mdm. Adina Winters moved out of the Winters family’s mansion overnight. This confirms their divorce!][A shotgun divorce after a month of marriage. How will the Winters Corporation’s property be divided?!][Will the mistress, Catherine, take over the title as Mdm. Winters?]The related news was snowballing on the Internet. Even so, neither Earl nor Adina responded to them. Adina was finally able to sleep after reuniting with her children. She was refreshed the next morning. When she opened her bedroom door and headed downstairs, she heard her children chit-chatting happily. The long-lost laughter made her feel extremely relaxed.“Good morning, Mommy.”The four children greeted her together. Harold and Melody were feeling light-hearted as always. George and Alden looked at her worriedly. Adina walked towards them and said gently with a smile, “You all can take a two-day break to avoid jet lag. You can
With her moving out of the Winters family’s mansion, it seemed to have confirmed the rumors of their divorce.She did not need to do anything after that. All she needed was to just wait for Catherine to slip up. “Children, I’ll be going to the company to work. Stay here obediently and wait for me. I will cook dinner once I’m back.”She gave each of them a kiss before heading out and driving away.Right after she left, George brought Alden upstairs. The two of them stayed in the study room for the whole morning. Adina was surrounded by reporters right after she reached the entrance of the company. Countless cameras and microphones surrounded her.“Mdm. Winters, someone took a picture of you moving out from the Winter family’s mansion. Is that true?”“Mdm. Winters, are you and Mr. Winters in the midst of divorce?”“Mdm. Winters, what’s your opinion on the property division and child custody?”“Mdm. Winters…”She was drowned by the endless questions. These people did not d
The secretary led Serene towards the meeting room. She thought that the meeting room would be crowded. But after the door was opened, she only saw three people in there.She frowned, sensing that something was not right. “Who are you? Where’s Adina Daugherty?” Jasmine stood up and asked coldly. Serene took a deep breath and said, “I’m Serene Reyes, Ms. Daugherty’s assistant. I’m here today to attend the meeting on her behalf.”“Heh, now she knows her place as one of the mice living in the gutter. Is that why she doesn’t dare to meet us?” Jasmine sneered and mocked, “Isn’t she a very capable woman? Without the Winters family, she’s just a poser!”“Sit down,” Zhenny said coldly, “With all your mockery, you don’t look like a noble lady anymore.”Jasmine snorted and sat down. Benny coughed and said calmly, “Ms. Reyes, since you’re here, let’s start the meeting.”Right after Serene sat down, he handed her a document. “This is the approval of our chip design from upper managemen
Zhenny tapped her finger on the desktop and said calmly, “She’s just getting ready for a divorce, and she still has the Winters Corporation’s equity. Right now, we should be able to get compensation from her. She may not be able to extract something valuable later on.”“Ten times the compensation. That’s $500,000,000.” Jasmine smiled. “With this huge profit, there should be no objections to me becoming the heir of Jones Corporation.”Zhenny produced a smug smile. “I’ve paved this road for you. You just need to walk it. Next, I’ll have Mr. Krisman find you a good partner. A powerful couple will gain a firm foothold in the company.”Jasmine’s smile instantly faded away. ‘I only have Flint in my heart. I won’t fall for any other guys…’When Serene returned to LaStar Technology Corporation, she was perplexed.She washed her face in the washroom and covered up the fingerprints on her face before knocking on Adina’s office door.“Ms. Daugherty, I’m back.”Adina was reviewing the pro
Adina strode out of the company, leaving Serene behind. Earl released a dangerous aura, so she did not dare to do anything to him.‘But as for the Jones family… ‘I don’t mind facing them upfront.’Adina was surrounded by the reporters right after she exited the company. Without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, she took one of the microphones and said coldly, “Since you all are going to wait here, I’ll be announcing something important once I’m back.”She opened the car door and went in after she finished speaking. Her car was already gone when the reporters came back to their senses. On every day this month, at three in the afternoon, the senior management of Jones Corporation would hold a meeting in the meeting room to carry out their business planning for the next month.Bernard Jones, the chairman of Jones Corporation sat at the main seat with Zhenny Jones on his left, taking her place as a CEO who managed all the company’s affairs.On Bernard’s right was Ja
“Ms. Daugherty, you can’t go in. This is the Jones Corporation’s meeting room. Please don’t go any further.”The meeting room’s door was flung open. Everyone looked up in unison and saw the woman who had been making the news headlines frequently over the past two days suddenly appearing in front of them.Adina ignored the stunned gazes of the people and walked into the room.She walked straight toward Jasmine and reached up to grab her collar.“What are you doing? Let go of me!”Jasmine had been seated nicely until she was suddenly lifted to her feet. She kept screaming out of fear.Adina pushed her fingers together and placed them against the back of Jasmine’s waist. She deftly located an acupressure point and pressed down on it.“Ah—Ow! It hurts!”Jasmine’s knees went weak before she crashed to the floor while sweating profusely in pain. She seemed to be undergoing torture.“Adina! What have you done to my daughter?”Zhenny was furious. She helped Jasmine onto a chair and
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,
