York still wanted to explain, but the guards just covered his mouth and dragged him out.His lackeys were so scared that their faces turned pale. They went weak in the knees and immediately knelt on the ground as they begged for mercy.Terry North stared at them and menacingly said, “Get out of here.”The people there, including the most ordinary old men, had blood on their hands. It was not an easy task to transform them.However, handling York alone would at least bring peace to the street for at least half a month.Terry North picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground before he sat down steadily and said, “Bring the menu.”When the restaurant was in chaos earlier, the owner and waiters had hidden in the kitchen. They only came out and continued to run their business now. The owner fearfully handed Terry North the menu, not daring to even look him in his black and profound eyes.The owner had been running the restaurant for more than a decade. Over the years, Auguste h
Flint quickly left Hestia Border with Adina.Thirty minutes later, their car stopped outside the mansion.As soon as they got out of the car, all four children rushed out of the house.“Mommy, Uncle Flint, you’re finally back.”“Mommy, are you injured?”“Uncle Flint, where did you go? What happened?”The children were so sharp-sighted that they noticed the tear in Adina’s shirt. She was not bleeding, but there was a deep red mark on the shirt.Their black eyes were filled with deep concern.“It’s not a big deal. Come on, let’s get inside first,” Flint casually said.Adina changed her clothes and went downstairs. She put on the apron, smiled gently, and said, “Give me thirty minutes. Lunch will be ready soon.”“Mommy, we already had lunch,” Harold said in a carefree manner, “Georgie and Al made steak together.”Alden nonchalantly said, “Mommy, we also left you and Uncle Flint a set. Go ahead and eat first.”Flint cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth before he dramati
While Flint had suspected it long ago, he was still shocked. “Isn’t Duke the only child in the Winters family?”“Dad does have a twin brother.” George pursed his lips and said, “I heard about it from Grandma on Grandpa’s death anniversary when I was three.”Melody widened her eyes blankly. “When did Daddy become our uncle?”“Did he make the switch after the wedding?” Harold found it incredulous. “After Daddy and Mommy got married, he went on a business trip for two weeks, and he became more frightening after that. It turns out that he isn’t Daddy. So, where did our daddy go?”Tears streamed down his cheeks.Adina raised her hand and wiped away his tears before she put on a calm front. She gently smiled and said, “I found out that your daddy’s here. That’s why I took you out of the country to look for him. Don’t worry, I’ve found some clues. I’ll be able to find Daddy very quickly, and our family will reunite soon.”The shock in Alden’s eyes was slowly replaced by relief.He thou
A new day arrived as the sun rose from the horizon.After Adina washed up, she darkened her skin on purpose. She went downstairs once she put on some light makeup.Flint was playing with Melody and Harold downstairs, while George and Alden were reading. The scene was warm and harmonious.“Good morning, Mommy,” the children raised their heads and greeted her uniformly.Adina smiled gently. “All of you have to stay home and be good today. I’ll come back at noon to make you lunch.”“Mommy, I’ll take good care of my brothers and sister,” George said obediently.“I’ll be a good boy,” Harold assured her. “I’ll play with Mel too. Don’t worry, Mommy.”Melody blinked. “Be safe, Mommy.”Adina kissed each of them on their cheeks. “Wait at home obediently. I’ll return without incident.”When she went outside, the gentle smile that she faked instantly disappeared.Flint sighed. “Addy, where do you plan to look for Duke today? I’ll go with you.”Adina pursed her lips. “I want to discuss a
Flint felt a little sad and gloomy as if he had bitten a sour lemon. The sourness almost made his tears drop.He pulled open the car door and suppressed his emotions. “Get into the car,” he said with a straight face.Adina pulled open the car door and sat in the front passenger seat, and Flint silently drove toward Hestia Border.It was a small city that was not very advanced. Countless sins were buried under its buildings, and innumerable people around the world had gone missing and lost their lives there.Guards patrolled the place twenty-four hours a day, and it was heavily guarded. Everyone who passed by looked fearful and anxious.After Adina and Flint were searched, they successfully entered Hestia Border.The two of them walked along the main road, and they soon reached the organization’s core area.There was a four-story mansion, which was surrounded by about four rows of cottages. The entrance was guarded by an iron fence and many parked military vehicles.When the two
“This lady wants to meet the boss, but she doesn’t have an appointment letter,” the guard answered respectfully. “This is a gift that she wants me to hand over to the boss.”Isabelle chuckled.She hooked the box of tea with her index finger. “A very famous brand of Earl Grey Tea from Cairnstan. It looks like you’ve put in a lot of effort.”Adina narrowed her eyes.She heard the strong hostility in the woman’s words.This woman should be Terry North’s lover or wife. Did she misunderstand Adina’s intention for approaching Terry North?Something crossed Adina’s eyes, and she quickly said, “Hi, Ms. Isabelle, my husband and I just wanted to thank Mr. Terry North in person.” Flint had known Adina for many years, so they had a strong tacit understanding.He took one step forward and spoke like a gentleman, “Hi, my beautiful Ms. Isabelle, this is the story. My wife and I were attacked yesterday. Luckily, Mr. Terry North stepped in to resolve the situation and get us out of the mess. S
Isabelle’s face was totally frozen. Was she not beautiful enough? Was she not being obvious enough? Why was this man chasing her away?She secretly unbuttoned her collar and softly said, “I came a long way. Won’t you let me stay for a while longer?”“Ms. Isabelle, you may make yourself at home. I’ll go to the study.”Terry North’s gaze remained unfriendly and fierce.He had just been in this position for less than a month, and people under his management had different schemes. All forces were on the move, so he could not take any wrong steps.As he was about to make his way to the study, the woman grabbed his arm.His gaze turned menacing, and he swung her away ruthlessly.Isabelle was startled. When she saw the man’s eagle’s eyes, she immediately loosened her grip.This man was truly terrifying.No wonder he managed to sneak into Auguste Manor and successfully assassinate Auguste. In the end, he even had no problem retreating completely.She took a deep breath and said, “I’v
The surroundings were silent at night, with only the street lights glowing outside. There were almost no cars or pedestrians.It was a peaceful country, but due to its close proximity to Hestia Border, its perimeter had become very unstable. Street robberies always happened there.When Adina stood on the balcony, she personally saw two adult men being stopped before their bags were snatched.The place was a real mess. No wonder the news always urged travelers not to travel there.She stood in front of the window while she contemplated. A long while later, the living room became completely quiet as she collected herself.The four children must have gone to sleep, but she could not sleep.She had insomnia all night, but she still had to pull herself together to hear the news the next day.“Addy, my dad just sent me an invitation card.” Flint walked in excitedly. “This is an annual business recruitment meeting in the neighboring country. Morton Corporation has been approved to ente
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,
