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
