“Flint Morton, I know where you live!” Jasmine was adamant. She held her phone tightly to her ears and emphasized every word. “I’ll be at your house soon. Wait for me.”Flint was enraged. He took a deep breath to calm himself. “How do you know where I live?”“I’ve been following your whereabouts, and I also know that you have a woman and four children by your side.” Jasmine’s voice became icy. “Adina is with you, right?”Flint held his forehead. “You sent someone to follow me?”“That’s not it. Based on your bank card spending information, I found that you are in Yggdra. After asking a few people, I found out who was around you.” Jasmine chuckled. “Duke was looking for Adina in the country, but his newlywed wife eloped abroad with you. If Duke knows Adina is living in your house, will Morton Corporation be safe from a crisis?”Before Flint could answer, she happily said, “I’ve reached your house. Open the door.”Flint looked up and saw a taxi parked outside the mansion. Jasmine w
Karl sneered. “Who do you think YOU are? Why are you putting Flint in an uncomfortable situation? You try to coerce him to date you but when I do the same, it’s repulsive to you? The way you feel disgusted when a random man says he loves you is the same way you disgust Flint. Get out!”Bang!Karl shut the iron door.Jasmine was furious. She kicked on the door, but it only hurt her toes.She pointed at Flint. “How could you do this to me for Adina? I’ll make you pay for it! You will suffer the consequences of being with Adina!”Flint stared at her. “Whatever. I’ll wait for it.”He then turned and walked into the mansion without a second glance.Karl said worriedly, “The Duke in Cairnstan is quite capable. If he comes here, it will be troublesome.”“The real Duke is now the leader of the Black Party. The Black Party did all kinds of evil deeds, so how can they be afraid of Earl?” Flint became serious. “Duke hasn’t recovered his memory, so the two brothers might not fight.” Flint
When Adina and the children were finished with the grocery shopping, they returned to the mansion.The children sat in the living room watching cartoons, while Adina went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Flint followed her.“I drove Jasmine away,” he said while peeling the beans. “I’m sorry, Addy. I didn’t pay attention to my spending, so Jasmine used it to find my location. Fortunately, she didn’t meet you.”“It doesn’t matter even if she meets me.” Adina pursed her lips. “I avoided her because I didn’t want to cause trouble. However, I won’t be so generous if trouble comes to me. Jasmine is not stupid. She is likely to contact Earl. I tricked Earl, so he will probably come to find me in person.”Flint sneered. “If he dares to come here, you and Duke can catch him and deal with him.”Adina lowered her head and prepared the ingredients. Duke had lost his memories. It was unlikely that he would kill someone who looked exactly like him without knowing everything. Even if Duke recov
Adina turned around and saw that their conversation had become a spectacle. Her children along with Karl, Pete and Flint were listening in around the computer.She blushed. “Don’t say things like that. I am going to hang up now.”“I’ll meet you tonight then,” Duke’s voice was hoarse. “Addy, I miss you. I want to see you.”Adina blushed harder and her heart raced. She was afraid her heart would stop beating, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.“Huh, why did you hang up?”“Mommy, Daddy hasn’t finished speaking yet. Why did you hang up?”The children pestered her.Adina took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before she walked to the living room.“Don’t monitor my calls in the future,” she said, trying to keep a straight face.Melody tilted her head, as if she found this amusing. “Mommy, your ears are so red.”“Mommy, are you shy?” Harold teased.George nodded. “Daddy said he misses Mommy, so mommy must be shy.”Adina was at a loss for words. These brats knew too much.
The bedroom was pitch black. Adina smelled cigarette smoke. She thought it was Duke, but the grip on her wrist was so strong that it almost broke her arm.Duke would never be so forceful with her. Adina raised her foot and kicked the chair by the bed, but the man avoided it. The man in the dark seemed to take it as provocation. He grabbed her by the wrist and threw her on the bed. He pinned her down on the bed.“Adina, you seem to be living a good life here. Have you forgotten who I am?” The cold and low voice made her shudder. She narrowed her eyes in the dark.She pushed her elbow against the man’s neck. “You know that my martial arts skills are better than yours. Don’t force me to beat you up.”“Really?”Earl suddenly took a black thing out of his pocket and pressed it against Adina’s forehead. “Do you still think I can’t beat you?”It was a black thing with a cold touch and a death aura. Adina knew what it was.She stared coldly at Earl’s tragic face now slightly vis
He leaned over her and parted his mouth to bite the woman’s lips.Adina turned her head away. “Don’t kiss me.”“Why? Do you find me disgusting?” Earl turned her face to him. “Adina, the more you hate my actions, the more I want to do things that sicken you. Because only with this would I remain more stubbornly etched in your head, and you would stop thinking about leaving my side all the time.”Adina glared at him. “You’re letting Duke down by doing this!”“A dead man is a dead man. So, what if I’m not worthy?” Earl said indifferently, “Now is not the time to bring up the dead.”Adina lowered her gaze. It seemed that Earl was completely unaware of Duke being alive. She could use this to cause a huge stir...As she pondered this, Earl lowered his head to hers. When he was just a centimeter away from kissing her neck, the balcony suddenly flung open.The chilly night air billowed in, causing the man, who leaned over Adina, to raise his head.Earl’s gloomy eyes looked towards the
Duke’s voice faltered and the room fell silent. The only sound was the rustle of wind outside the window.Adina stared at him. “You disappeared on our wedding day,” she said slowly. “He came to the Winters family’s mansion pretending to be you. He lived in your house, was a husband to your wife, was a father to your children, took charge of your company… You were chased out here, having to carry responsibilities that were not yours...”Her voice rang in Duke’s ears. A fractured memory surfaced in his mind. The past emerged in his thoughts one by one, like fleeting scenes from a train window.Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.“Duke, what’s wrong?” Adina rushed toward him and took his arm.“The back of my head hurts...” Duke closed his eyes. “A lot of repressed memories… but I can’t remember anything…”“Don’t worry…,” said Adina softly. She held him. “You only need to remember that you are my husband, a father to your children, and you have a full and happy family. So, hu
He had seen these four children before, but it had been less intense than them appearing simultaneously before him in this way.He slowly regained his senses, stood up and walked towards them. “I’m sorry I neglected my duties and couldn’t protect you all, just like how I couldn’t protect your mommy.”“Daddy, you meanie!” sobbed Melody as he lunged into Duke’s arms and burst into tears.Harold was also almost choking on his tears. “Daddy, will you disappear again like before?”Duke shook his head. “No, it’ll never happen again.” He would never leave his wife and his children in danger ever again. George’s eyes were a little red. “Daddy, when can we go home?”“We need to wait till I settle things here first, then Daddy will take you all home.” Duke scooped the children up in his arms in one sweeping motion.Alden squirmed. “Daddy, Mommy’s been through a lot, you have to treat Mommy better from now on.”Duke stroked his head. “Of course!”Seeing her husband hugging the children,
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,
