As Mabel and the children chatted, Duke and Adina had arrived at Sea City’s largest hospital. “Ma’am, the wound on your face is fine. It’ll heal in about a week. After fully recovering for a month, you can consider scar removal surgery…” After the doctor gave her a new set of medicine, he carefully reminded Adina what to pay attention to in her daily life. Adina touched her wound which was covered with gauze as she asked doubtfully, “Why does my wound always feel itchy, as if there’s something in it…”The doctor said, “I just checked. There is no sharp residue in the wound. If it itches, it may be inflamed. Please take a bottle of anti-inflammatory drugs before you go back.”The doctor prescribed a bottle of medicine, and Adina stayed for an IV infusion.The wound on her left was particularly uncomfortable. It felt like there was a foreign object, and it was making her so itchy that she had the urge to scratch it. Duke sat at the edge of Adina’s bed. Her eyes closed drowsily a
She had to use that photo to her advantage. Jasmine turned off her phone and was about to go to the office when she saw Daniel walk in through the door of the mansion. The corners of her mouth curled up as a plan formed in her mind. “Daniel, come here. I need to talk to you about something.” Daniel looked up to see her. “What is it?” “Last time, Uncle Dillon said that Adina is the Jones family’s offspring. Why hasn’t Uncle Dillon brought her back yet?” Jasmine pretended to ask with concern. Daniel’s gaze was apathetic. “Is that any of your business?” “Of course it is. Adina is my cousin.” Jasmine lowered her voice. “Everyone within the community knows that Adina has gone missing lately, but the news has been suppressed by the Winters family. That’s why this matter hasn’t blown up. Adina, in fact, is not missing at all. She remains in Sea City, but…” She paused on purpose to keep him in suspense. Daniel had an impatient expression on his face. “If you don’t want to tell
At dusk, Adina and Duke arrived at the Winters family’s mansion. Duke pushed the suitcases inside. Adina took his arm. As soon as they appeared in the courtyard, they saw that Pete had already arrived. “Duke, take the bags upstairs for me and put the clothes in the wardrobe. There is something I need to do.” Adina said with a smile. Duke nodded and walked upstairs with both suitcases in his hands. Adina’s clothes were hung in the master bedroom and the children’s clothes were sent to their respective rooms. Adina turned her head to look at the toy room where Mabel was stacking Legos with the four children, who looked very happy. She walked toward them. “Mrs. Winters, can we talk?” Mabel’s hand, which was holding a Lego block, stiffened for a second. Then, she forced a smile and walked out of the toy room. “Addy, how is your face?” “The doctor said I will recover in a week. It’s nothing serious,” Adina said flatly. “Mrs. Winters, I suppose you know about Duke’s memory loss
There were Winters Corporation’s financial statements and various project data. He needed some time to organize and memorize them. Those numbers might be familiar to him, but there were certain things that he could not just get right, even though it was instinctively familiar to him, especially regarding projects in business. One wrong decimal point could lead to a big mistake. He had to make sure that nothing could go wrong. “A lot of important positions at Winters Corporation have been filled by Earl’s men,” Adina said while folding clothes. “Go to the company when you have a chance and kick those punks out of the company first.” Duke put his arm around her waist. “Don’t worry about that. I know what I’m doing.” Adina stood up straight and raised her hand to take off his mask. She stroked her fingers on the scars across his face. “I will go to the plastic surgery hospital with you tomorrow. Let’s restore your face to its previous appearance first.” “No, I will go to the h
“Ms. Catherine?” Mr. Brown walked out into the courtyard. When he saw a familiar figure, he opened his mouth and called out her name. Ms. Catherine was a close friend of Mabel, but she had a little scandal with Master not long ago. If the madam had not been at home, he certainly would not have let Ms. Catherine in. However, at this moment, the master and the madam were still as sweet as ever. This was a good time to show Catherine, so she could dispel her inappropriate intent. Mr. Brown walked over and opened the gate. He said with a smile, “Have you had dinner, Ms. Catherine?” Catherine glanced up a little to the dining room and shuddered. She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Brown, please tell Mrs. Winter that something came up, and I have to go now.” She turned around and fled. Mr. Brown’s gaze was contemptuous. Catherine must have learned that Master had returned. That’s why she came over on purpose. However, when she saw that the madam was here too, she got co
Catherine’s eyes quickly widened. She lost control of her emotions and grabbed Adina’s sleeve. “What about Earl? Where is he?” Adina swept a glance at the injuries on her body and said coldly, “You still care about his whereabouts, even after what he did to you?” “You killed him, didn’t you?” Horror emerged in Catherine’s eyes. “Adina, how could you do that? Even though Earl committed so many mistakes, he truly loves you. He loves you so much. How could you hurt him? You’re so heartless. So cold-blooded. How could you… How could you…” Adina pulled her hand out. “He’s alive and well. He’s just lost his freedom for now. Why? Do you want to see him?” Catherine nodded hard. “Where are you keeping him?” Adina shook her head indifferently. A young girl like Catherine was a top-ten psychiatrist in the world. She was so brilliant, yet she got obsessed with a demon. Her life was so wonderful. There were so many better options for her. Catherine, however, would rather jump into the
Duke lay down on the couch in the study. Pete fetched the tools needed for hypnosis. Catherine grabbed a random pocket watch and started performing hypnosis. “You’d better not play any tricks.” Pete said coldly, “I’m a professional psychiatrist too. If you dare to make mistakes on purpose, I can totally see it.” Catherine’s hand trembled a little. She put the pocket watch back in the case and took an hourglass. As she turned it over, the sound of sand flowing could be heard in the study. Then, she asked the servants to bring a two-meter-tall mirror and placed it directly in front of them. A constantly rotating gyroscope was placed in front of and in the center of the mirror. Just looking at these things made Adina slightly giddy. Any strong-willed person would most likely be affected in such an environment. The hypnosis soon began. After Catherine got into the zone, she had a solemn and stable vibe that was expected of a psychiatrist. She slowly led Duke into a scenar
Duke held her hand and said with a low, soft voice, “Addy, thank you.”For over a month, he had been doing everything by himself. In fact, no one had ever sorted out his everyday life. After arriving in Sea City, Adina tended to his every need. She carefully arranged everything and ensured it was all just right. He owed this woman too much.“We are husband and wife. There is no need for you to thank me in the future.” Adina smiled softly and continued rubbing his temples.Duke let his eyes fall shut a little. Countless fragmented images flashed across his mind. He needed to try his hardest to seize hold of these memories and connect them to recover his original memories.“Addy, I remember!” Duke suddenly opened his eyes, “I remember what happened when I was fifteen years old.”Adina’s hands stiffened.His first recovered memory should be the one that affected him the most, and it was the year he turned fifteen. Adina remembered that it was the year his father passed away.Ad
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.

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,
