Adina carried the groceries and walked into the mansion as she said, “This is my grandmother’s house.”“Your grandmother’s really nice to you.” Flint clicked his tongue. “But no matter what, the house belongs to your grandmother. It’s not under your name. Perhaps you can marry me. I’ll give you a seaside mansion with a sea view, and it’ll only be under your name.” Adina gave him a kick. “Flint Morton, if you keep talking cr*p, you can get out!” “Hey Addy, be gentle! It hurts!” Flint carried Melody while he pretended to hide. “I’m sorry. I won’t joke with you again.” He ran to the living room and sat on the floor to keep Melody company as she played with her blocks. Alden cast a glance at his sister before he habitually switched on his laptop and logged into his personal account. Suddenly, he frowned, and a cold look appeared in his eyes. Someone was actually decoding the surveillance video that he had encrypted. Half of the 108 passwords had already been cracked. He im
Duke pursed his lips. He moved forward and lifted George by the back of his collar. “Dad, let go of me!” George resisted. “I swear that this is my last time being a hacker…” Duke threw him aside and sat in front of the laptop. George thought that his dad would shut down the computer, but he saw Duke put his fingers on the keyboard to type. Outsiders just knew Duke as a genius in business. However, only George knew that his dad was a real hacking expert. When he was three, he had accidentally seen his father fight a foreign hacker using the computer, and that uncovered his talent in the same field. The problem was finally solved with his dad’s help. Half an hour later… “F*ck! Is the opponent a demon or what?” Flint threw a punch at the computer. “I was f*cking killed!” Alden pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Our opponent changed. The person who came later is a real hacking expert. I’m not as good as him.” He had been in the hacking field for a year, but h
Sunlight shone in from the balcony as Adina tidied her hair and sat up. She stared into space for three seconds before she got up and went to get ready. After she sent the kids to preschool, she had to go to Xavier Corporation and attend the press conference for the new product. Then, she had to go to Winters Corporation to discuss the collaboration. She pulled open her closet and chose a work dress. As soon as she got changed, she heard some noise from downstairs. “Who allowed you to stay here? I’m giving you three seconds. Get out, now!” Ethan was standing in the living room and looking very angry. He had come over because he wanted to give Addy a ride to the press conference in Xavier Corporation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he saw a man only in his pants lying on the couch and sleeping soundly. He instantly became furious. Meanwhile, Flint was just as angry. He had slept in the study last night, but there had been too many mosquitoes in the
“He’s Flint Morton. He’s a friend I met overseas. He came to Sea City yesterday, and he didn’t have a place to stay, so I let him stay the night,” she nonchalantly said with a straight face. When Ethan saw her honest expression, he sighed in relief. “He said that he was the master of this house.” “No, I didn’t say that!” Flint cowered and explained in a weak voice, “Mr. Xavier, you misheard me… What I meant was that it’s inappropriate for a guest like me to be dressed like this. I-I’ll go and get changed…” He ran away dejectedly. “Addy, you’re a single mother. It’s not appropriate to have a man stay overnight in your house. If he doesn’t have a place to stay, you can ask him to stay a night with the Xavier family,” Ethan said sincerely. Adina nodded obediently and said, “Ethan, don’t worry about me. I’ll go to the Xavier Corporation after I send the kids to preschool.” Flint stuck his head out and shouted, “Addy, you can go to work. I’ll send Alden and Mel to their preschoo
“I’m a daughter of the Xavier family. Who dares to criticize me for being the Marketing Department’s manager?!” Sophia yelled angrily. Adina seemed indifferent as she said, “I have nothing to say, of course. I just feel that it would be better to do some homework before you doubt others. Uncle Richard, the press conference is about to start. Shall we go now?” Richard nodded before he led Adina to the site of the press conference. Sophia kicked the table in fury, but the table was so hard that it hurt her toes tremendously. Xavier Corporation was using a gimmick in this press conference for their new product. They utilized the new concept of an intelligent device as the title, and that attracted a lot of people. Even George, who had recently landed in Sea City and had not recovered from his jet-lag, also decided to attend the press conference this morning. The intelligence market was booming, and Winters Corporation also planned to invest in the industry. George wanted to se
No wonder she could make his mother so fearful. Perhaps it was due to their biological relationship, but he could not hate this woman.However, once he remembered that the purpose of this woman's return was to mess the Daugherty family up, he could only suppress his good impression of her. His mom had given him life, so he had to protect her. When Adina stood on the stage, she could feel a constant sharp gaze on her. When she looked around, she could only see the crowd. Just as she was about to carefully pinpoint the source, a microphone was pointed at her. “Ms. Daugherty, we would like to know how your relationship with the Daugherty family is. Can you please share with us?” The previous incident had caused such a big fuss, and it was not officially over, so the crowd had been curious for a long time. Adina looked away before she calmly answered, “I’m a daughter of the Daugherty family, and that will never change. The family has transferred 25% of their shares to me, so
George stood at the end of the corridor and looked indifferent.This woman had brought disaster to the Daugherty family four years ago, and after all that time, she continued to frequently attack the family again. If his mom wanted to teach this woman a lesson, it would be reasonable.It was fine to let his mom vent her anger too.He hoped that this woman would hold back after this incident and not go against his mom constantly.George turned around to leave.Right then, four muscular men walked toward him.“This is a great job. Our employer says that she's the most beautiful woman in Sea City. She's supposed to be a gorgeous woman whom countless rich men have failed to pursue, but she's in our hands now.”George instantly stopped walking.He raised his head and looked at the approaching four men.All of them were at least 1.8 m tall, and every one of them looked fierce. Bad intentions flashed in their eyes.If these men entered the meeting room, it would not matter what they
The muscular men's leader flashed her a despicable smile and questioned her first.“Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”Adina remained calm as she continued to move backward.The muscular men slowly walked toward her. “Ms. Daugherty, we heard that you’re the most beautiful woman in Sea City. We purposely came to see what makes you the most beautiful woman.”One of the muscular men suddenly raised his arm and grabbed Adina’s wrist.She was prepared. She threw the glass to the floor and used a sharp shard to scratch his wrist.“How dare you, b*tch!” The muscular man was angry, and he quickly rushed over.Adina grabbed his arm and slammed him over her shoulders.The man was so heavy. He should have weighed more than 400 pounds. She only managed to slam the man on the ground after she used almost all of her strength.“This b*tch knows martial arts!”The remaining three muscular men looked at each other and secretly broke into cold smirks. Luckily, they were prepared.As th
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,
