Adina squinted her eyes and looked up at the second floor.Two bodyguards armed with weapons stood at the master bedroom’s entrance. They were filled with murderous intent. “Thanks for tipping me off.”Adina smiled at Louis and headed to the second floor.The bodyguards at the entrance let her in as Louis personally escorted her into the mansion. The bodyguards at the master bedroom door carried out a routine body search before letting her in. The master bedroom was specious. After she entered through the door, she was greeted by a small parlor, and the bed was just beyond a partition.The moment she stepped in, she heard a woman’s voice. “You arrived here at the right time. Bring me a syringe. I can’t feed him the medicine with a spoon.”Adina’s heart sunk.Was Terry so severely wounded to the extent that he needed someone to feed him medicine?She walked in at a faster pace. She skirted around the partition and saw the man lying in bed. He was as pale as sheets, and his he
Adina’s pupils constricted.She never expected Isabelle to wield a gun. She had been too careless.She quickly surveyed her surroundings through her peripheral vision to look for things that she could use as a weapon…Just then, a rustling sound came from the large bed.The two women turned their heads in unison…The man who had been lying half-dead on the bed had supported the upper half of his body up.His gaze was cold with a tinge of murderous intent. “Isabelle, are you trying to commit murder in my territory?”“I-I…”When Isabelle met his gaze, her hands trembled, and the gun fell onto the floor.“Come in!” Terry ordered, and the bodyguards at the entrance rushed into the room once again.“Send Ms. Isabelle out. She’s not allowed to enter the room without my permission.”Isabelle widened her eyes.Before she could say anything, the two bodyguards escorted her out.She was so angry that her face contorted into an absolute picture of savagery and exuded an intense aura
When she heard Terry’s words, her expression changed.She had heard of the Black Party’s internal political strife. Isabelle was Elder Maurice’s daughter, so she certainly had a motive for putting poison in the medicine. Adina sprang up. “Lay down first. I’ll call the doctor now.”“Don’t run from me!” Terry pulled her onto the bed and asked, “Who are you? Why did you approach me?”Adina was pinned on the bed as she furiously said, “Isabelle’s the one who prepared the medicine. She could have been the one who wanted to poison you. This has nothing to do with me! Let go of me now! I’ll go downstairs and call the doctor!”They were so close to each other that when she struggled, the collar of her blouse became undone, revealing the snow-white skin below her neck.She sensed something unusual about Terry, and she was struck dumb. “C-Calm down… You’re severely injured. Now isn’t the time to have dirty thoughts...”She struggled and noticed his body temperature rising.Right then, s
Terry stopped moving his hand on her waist.She mentioned her husband amorously after they just had sex, and he did not feel good about it.She was a married woman, and he was the third wheel.He was aware that such a relationship was immoral. He never expected to have a married woman as his lover. Yet, he was absorbed in the relationship and afraid that she would recover her husband.Terry trusted that he was as good as her husband. However, whenever she mentioned her husband, her gaze would soften.She loved her husband very much, and that was an undeniable fact.“My husband is as tall as you. His figure is similar to yours. He has a green birthmark on his lower abdomen, and his voice is almost exactly the same as yours…”Adina was describing her husband when her phone vibrated on the pillow.She reached out for the phone and saw that it was a video call from her children.Shocked, she quickly got out of bed. She put on her clothes as fast as lightning and dashed into the
He said indifferently, “Elder Murphy, please settle them down first. We’ll continue to talk about this after my recovery.”Elder Murphy heeded his instruction and let Elder Elliot make the arrangement.“You may go now,” Terry dismissed Elder Murphy.Elder Murphy stole a glance at the bathroom before he whispered, “This is the information from the investigation about the spy. I recommend you read it now.”Terry’s eyes narrowed. He opened the documents. A dozen names appeared on the first page. He noticed a Cairnstanian called Adina Daugherty.“Adina is the beautiful woman who appeared in Hestia Border recently…” whispered Elder Murphy. “She’s the special spy from Cairnstan. She came to obtain resources from our area…”“Got it.” Terry closed the document. “Get out.”Elder Murphy’s eyes flashed. His duty was to inform Terry of things like these. If Terry trusted him or not, it wasn’t part of his job to find out. Elder Murphy looked down and left Terry’s room.After Adina finished
Adina tried to calm herself.She sucked in a deep breath. “They can fake the paternity test report. But they can’t deny the mutual attraction between two people. Don’t you admit that you’re attracted to me? You’re attracted to me not because of my pretty face, but because of our love for each other. You’re my husband, and I’m your wife. We have four adorable children together…”She took out her phone and showed him the photo of his four children. When Terry looked at the picture of the children on the phone, the smile on their faces stung his eyes.For a moment, he felt as if someone had pricked his heart, and an excruciating pain spread through his limbs…She was right. They could fake the paternity test report, but they could not fake their emotions…Thoughts became jumbled in Terry’s mind.“Boss, Elder Dorien requests to see you.”The bodyguard at the entrance knocked on the door and reported to Terry.Terry took back the documents. “I’ll assign someone to investigate the ma
Elder Dorien trembled slightly. “W-What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”“How about I assign several people to conduct a search at your house?” Terry sounded icy. “Auguste was cheated over a few decades because he couldn’t understand the accounts, but this doesn’t mean I’m as ignorant as him! I can turn a blind eye to the money you’ve misappropriated when Auguste was in power. But you’ve embezzled a billion dollars within a month since I took over Auguste’s position. This will make up a total of ten billion dollars in a year! It’s no wonder the Black Party is getting worse every day. it’s all because of people like you committing such a deed in the middle of it!”Elder Dorien was caught off guard. Terry’s words stabbed him like an ice dagger. Elder Dorien could not find an excuse to defend himself, and he was so scared that he trembled uncontrollably. Meanwhile, Elder Murphy who had been standing by the side went up to them. “Is there any misunderstand
The internal turmoil of the Black Party soon made local news.“According to the news report, Elder Dorien from the Black Party was exposed for his corruption and was removed from his position. He is raising money to make up for the amount he had misappropriated…”“Meanwhile, Elder Murphy and Elder Elliot failed to perform their duties with due diligence. They have made a big blunder during their tenure, so they are currently under investigation…”“From the surface, the Black Party seemed to be undergoing an adjustment of power division. Truth is that the odds between the newly appointed leader and the elders intensifies…”Adina looked gloomy as she watched the news report on the television.Even as an outsider, she could feel the tension of the situation within the Black Party. Duke, its leader, must be feeling it even worse than her. He was living on edge.“Addy, I know what you’re thinking.” Flint switched off the television. “If Duke is entirely in control of the Black Party,
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,
