Harold and Melody entered Hestia Border smoothly.“There are many bodyguards over here. It doesn’t look as dangerous as it was made out to be.” Harold looked around and whispered to his sister, “Melody, I’ve checked the map. Daddy is staying at the place over there. Let’s go in.”Melody’s eyes lit up. They ran toward the central mansion area. A military car stopped outside Terry’s mansion. Isabelle was inside the car. She looked angry and resigned.When Auguste was in power, she could enter and leave the mansion freely. After Terry took over, she was blocked from entering the house.As the eldest lady of the Black Party, she was not even allowed to enter the party’s main camp. She felt like she had become a laughingstock to everyone.Isabelle kept a straight face. She said in a deep voice, “Head home now.”She would make Terry kneel and beg for her someday! When the car made a turn, Isabelle noticed two children running from across the street. “Stop the car,” she ordered. S
Isabelle’s bodyguards approached the children. Each of them caught a child, then lifted them in mid-air.Harold struggled. “Witch, let go of us! Let me go! When our Daddy comes out, he’ll avenge us!”Harold always spoke in Cairnstanian language when he was stressed and angry. Isabelle couldn’t understand him. But she guessed the child was cursing and shouting at her. She said icily, “They’re too noisy. Silence them.”The bodyguards heeded her instruction. One of them directed a backhanded slap at Harold. His right cheek turned red.Harold’s eyes widened. He could not believe it.“I guess you have learned your lesson. Be a good boy, okay?” Isabelle went up to Harold and raised his chin. “You look good and energetic. I can send you to my father and you can be his pawn—”Harold bit the back of her hand before she could complete her words.“B*stard, get your teeth out of my hand!”The bodyguards were shocked. They quickly pinched Harold’s jaw and carried him further away.The ba
Terry’s gaze turned icy.Melody shivered in his arms. Tears dropped on her cheeks.Terry felt as if something had scorched his heart, and anger boiled his blood.He leaned down and pursed his lips. He whispered to Melody, “Good girl, you are okay now. Close your eyes.”Melody’s eyes welled up with tears. When she closed her eyes, tears streamed down her face.Terry looked down. “You too. Close your eyes.”Harold closed his eyes obediently.Bang! Bang!Two gunshots rang out and Isabelle cried out in shock.She stared at her bodyguards in disbelief. A moment ago, they were only hurt at the hand and their thighs, but now they were lifeless.Those two were her most trusted bodyguards. They had committed many atrocious deeds for her without question. And now they were dead. “Terry North!” Isabelle screamed. “From now on, you’re my enemy. Just wait and see what future awaits you!”Terry was calm and composed. He said coolly, “Don’t make me wait too long.”He cast a glance at th
He whispered to them, “This place is unsafe. I’ll ask someone to take you back home.”Melody tugged on his sleeve. “Daddy, you haven’t answered my question. I won’t leave until you do.”Harold almost burst into tears again. “Daddy, is it true that you don’t remember us anymore? You don’t want to remember us?” He Sobbed. “Daddy, you’re wicked. Mommy has taken great pains to look for you, but you don’t remember us anymore… Daddy, if you drive us out, you will regret your decision… You’ll regret it…”Terry felt as if his heart was pricked with a knife. He did not want to put the children in danger. Besides, he had to find out what exactly had happened.If he returned to his family before finding out the truth, things like this might happen again in the future. He might not be able to save them.“Don’t cry.” He wiped off Harold and Melody’s tears. “After I finish my business, I’ll visit you—”“You lie to us!” Harold sobbed loudly. “You don’t remember Melody and me, you can’t possibly
“Daddy, I don’t want to leave.”“Daddy, I’m not finished eating yet.”Harold and Melody spoke unanimously. They stared pitifully at Terry with tears in their eyes. Terry’s cold heart melted to something warm and soft.He said softly, “Finish the food first and then go home. Take your time…”Adina stood at the side, clearly stunned.It wasn’t surprising that her children had addressed him as their father. What shocked her was that he responded to them.When she had told him the truth, he had doubted her. ‘Why did he suddenly accept Melody and Harold calling him Daddy?’Harold tugged on Adina’s clothes and whispered to her, “Daddy said we can address him as Daddy as long as there are no outsiders around.”Harold said with a happy gleam in his eyes. He had lost his father once. Now that he had found his father again, he realized how blissful and safe he felt with his father protecting him.Adina stared at Terry in disbelief. Terry looked up and glanced at her. When their gazes me
When they arrived at the entrance, Mrs. Cook asked softly, “Louis, who is that lady?”“She is Boss’ business partner,” Louis said formally. “Boss has some official business to discuss with Ms. Daugherty, so he doesn’t have time to talk with you. Mrs. Cook, it’s best that you head home.”Mrs. Cook turned around and glanced a final time at the dining hall before leaving in resignation.After her silhouette vanished from sight, Adina asked, “Is she the one who claims to be your mother?”Terry nodded. “Thus far, I don’t know what her true motive is. I’ll neglect her for the time being. She’ll naturally reveal her true colors by the time we are done with this mess.”Adina was relieved as long as Terry was wary of the Cook family.She pursed her lips. “Be careful with everything you do. If you need my help, just let me know. I will take them home now.”The children, who were done with their food now, rose from their seats obediently and stood beside Adina, one on each side of her.Duk
“Addy, that’s great!” Flint was truly happy for them.All this time, Adina had looked so lifeless as though she had lost her purpose and her reason to live. Even though she strived to live her life for her children, she had always despaired.Flint, for the first time in a long time, saw hope in her. He understood how much Duke meant to her.“But he can’t leave yet.” Adina heaved a sigh. “With his current identity and the situation in Hestia Border, everyone is eyeing him like hungry wolves. He can’t step out of the situation smoothly. I plan to help him recover his memory before settling other issues. One step at a time.”“Right. There’s something that I almost forgot!” Flint slapped his head. “Pete just arrived a while ago.”He quickly ushered Adina into the house.Adina looked at the living hall and saw Pete. He was lying on the couch, all bandaged up.When they were at Sea City Hospital, Earl had sent someone to beat Pete up. Pete could not possibly have recovered in just a w
Adina looked increasingly low-spirited.Terry was severely wounded in the previous clash with the Rebellious Party. This time, he had faced weapon explosions. She wondered if he was still alive. The Hestia Border was filled with crimes and wars. She would never feel at peace staying in this place.“The situation is getting more complicated,” said Flint. “Duke’s new policy threatens many wealthy people’s personal interests. It’s likely that his enemies will unite and fight against him.”Karl rested his hand on his chin. “His new policies provide civilians with many job opportunities. He improves the level of security in this area. Terry’s followers will never fall behind.”Adina pursed her lips tightly. She did not know what to say.No matter what had happened, how sinful the place was, or how many civilians had died in this tragic situation, it had nothing to do with Duke.She admitted that she was selfish. Duke and her four children were her world. She hoped all of them could
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,
