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 four muscular men pushed the wheelchair outside.When they just opened the meeting room door, they saw a dozen security guards walking toward them in the corridor.“Who are you?”The head of the security team walked over with a baton.“This is our lady. She hurt her leg, so we came to pick her up,” the leader of the muscular men said calmly.Adina wanted to speak, but her mouth was stuffed, so she could not say a word.She wanted to struggle and cause a disturbance, but she realized that she did not have any strength. She could not even move her fingers.But this was her only chance!She wanted to turn over and roll down from the wheelchair, but the muscular man was pressing her shoulders down.He remained very calm. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave.”The security guard head did not notice anything suspicious, so he let them go.Adina’s heart sank to the bottom again.“Hold on.”At that moment, the cold voice of a child was heard.George walked out from behind th
Over in the Daugherty Family, Dew threw a bunch of things onto the floor in a fit.“You’re all trash!”Her chest heaved with anger, and she wanted to smash everything in the room.Why did she keep failing again and again?Was she not just a woman? Was it so hard to kill a woman?“Stop, Dew. Don’t get angry.” Ruby walked over and patted her back. “There were security guards in Xavier Corporation’s building, so it was hard to do anything. Don’t blame them. We should think about how we can stop the four men from talking so that they won’t expose the Daugherty family.”Dew scoffed. “If they want their family line to end with their generation, they can expose the Daugherty family!”When she hired these men, she had their children controlled, so these men would not dare to say anything.“That b*tch, Adina, is really strong. I have to take some extreme measures. I’m really worried that she’ll find out about the two kids one day. If that happens, I’ll be completely doomed,” she said wi
George’s judging gaze was fixed on Dew.She felt a shiver run down her spine, and it creeped her out.It was the first time she had found George more terrifying than Duke.She bit her pale bottom lip before she slowly said, “George, is there some kind of misunderstanding? Adina and I are sisters. No matter how much I hate her, I wouldn’t kill her. I—” “Mom, since I’m asking you, it means I already know something.” George walked down the staircase and firmly said, “I just want to hear it from you. Why do you want to kill her?”Dew had never felt that frightened before.Even when Duke spoke indifferently to her, he never stared at her in that manner.Why would a four-year-old kid have such a menacing power?She suppressed her fright before she slowly said, “George, it wasn’t me. I’ve never thought of hurting Adina, but your grandfather can’t tolerate her… “George, do you know that Adina forced your grandfather to give away 25% of the shares? Since then, Adina became Daugherty
“Mom, I don’t want your hands to be stained with blood. That’s why I said what I said.” George pursed his lips. “I’m sorry. I was rude. Please don’t mind me.”Dew sighed in relief.She was so afraid that George would chase her out.Luckily, this little b*stard was not that bold.She calmed down before she casually said, “Don’t worry. I won’t try to kill Adina again.”She had sent her people to deal with Adina today, but George found out. That meant somebody in the Winters family was keeping an eye on her.She could not give orders for things that would affect her image.Otherwise, George’s attitude toward her would worsen.“Why are you here again?”Harold was walking down from the second floor. When he saw Dew, his face was full of dissatisfaction.Dew’s emotions, which had finally calmed, were triggered again.However, she realized that she had lost composure once, so she could not forget herself again.She forced a faint smile and said, “Harold, I heard from Mr. Brown tha
Harold raised his chin, and arrogance flashed in his black eyes.He scoffed. “If Dad doesn’t want to marry Auntie Adina, I’ll marry her after I grow up. I want to be with her every day.”George’s expression became very sullen.He did not want to tell Harold about those things at first, but if he kept them from Harold, he was worried that Harold would be more and more obsessed with Adina.He slowly said, “Do you know that Mom has a sister?”Harold scowled. “Why are you talking about that woman? It’s got nothing to do with me whether she has a sister or not. I don’t know about it, and I don’t care about it either. Don’t talk to me about her.”“It’s related to you. Mom has a stepsister, and her name’s Adina.” George used his phone, searched for a news article, and threw it to Harold. “Adina supposedly died four years ago, but she came back because she wants to exact revenge on the Daugherty family and Mom. You’re the best tool for her to use against Mom.”Harold cast a glance at th
Adina was still a little dizzy. After she made the call to explain her condition to Winters Corporation, she got ready to call Flint.She would not be able to go to the preschool for the time being based on her current condition. As such, she had to ask Flint to pick the kids up from preschool.Before she could make the call, she received another incoming call.“Hello, Ms. Daugherty. I’m the secretary from Winters Corporation. May I know what happened to you in the afternoon?”Adina pressed her eyebrows and said, “I’m not feeling well, so I’m in the hospital for an infusion. I’m really sorry.”“Please rest well, Ms. Daugherty. We can discuss the collaboration after you recover.”The secretary politely hung up. Just as he was about to turn back and knock on the CEO’s office, he saw that Duke was already standing behind him.He was completely taken aback before he immediately reported, “Mr. Winters, Ms. Daugherty is in the hospital for an infusion. She won't be able to come over t
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,
