“Her face is really ruined. She isn’t as beautiful as before.”“Even if the scars can be repaired with plastic surgeries, she won’t have that natural face anymore. What a shame.”“I didn’t expect Adina to be the illegitimate daughter of the Jones family too. This is breaking news.”“Most importantly, we didn’t hear anything about it before the reunion banquet. I only realized that the Jones family was holding a reunion banquet after I arrived at the banquet hall.”“Adina’s current status is amazing. She’s the only daughter of the Jones family, a relative of the Xavier family, and Mdm. Winters…” “Mdm. Winters? I don’t think so. No one from the Winters family came tonight. Clearly, Adina’s falling out with them.”“It’s true! We’ve been here so long, but I haven’t seen a single member of the Winters family.”“They aren’t divorced, are they?”Adina did not even raise her brows as all kinds of whispers came from her surroundings.When she decided to hold the reunion banquet, she a
“Uncle, what does the reporter’s intrusion have to do with you? What did you do wrong?” Jasmine smiled and said, “It’s mainly because the divorce between Addy and her husband is too confusing. Everyone is curious. Addy, why don’t you take this opportunity today to solve the puzzle for us?”She called Adina “Addy,” but her voice was filled with a hidden coldness.Adina curled her lips into a bright faint smile. “Jas, if you can tell everyone about your pursuit of men, I don’t mind sharing with everyone about what happened between my husband and me.”Right after she said that, Jasmine’s expression completely darkened.She had always been the one courting Flint, but she never won him over at all. If that was exposed, she would be totally embarrassed.Jasmine was afraid that Adina would expose her private business, so she obediently stopped talking.Dillon then led Adina to the spotlight.He held a microphone and spoke in good spirits, “Hello. Thank you for attending the Jones famil
Jasmine’s response made Dillon’s expression turn completely cold.“Even you can run for the heir position when you’re not a member of the Jones family. Why can’t Addy?” His gaze was disapproving. “Besides, Addy is the real Ms. Jones. If I hear the term ‘illegitimate daughter’ again, I’m going to ask you to stop calling me ‘Uncle.’”Jasmine widened her eyes in disbelief.Uncle Dillon had always pampered her the most, and he would give her the best. However, he was saying such cruel things to her now.Adina was clearly an illegitimate daughter. Why could she not say that?Just as she was about to refute, Zhenny stopped her.Zhenny’s expression was also sullen. She knew that nothing good would come of it when Adina suddenly wanted to return to the Jones family. Despite that, she did not expect the little b*stard to actually have such a plan.Dillon and Zhenny had been close siblings about twenty years ago, and she knew slightly about Dillon’s relationship with Olivia. She even knew
“Haha!”Adina could not help but laugh.She did not expect Jasmine to be so shameless. Jasmine had done something to force Daniel to quit the competition, yet she managed to make herself sound righteous.“What are you laughing at?”Jasmine glared at Adina as though she wanted to kill her.“I’m laughing at your tainted perception because you think everyone is the same as you.” Adina smiled and spoke leisurely. “Jones Corporation should be succeeded by the members of the Jones family, not by a Yackley. In my opinion, no one is more suitable than Daniel to be the heir. It doesn’t matter if he has quit. I’m his sister, so I have the obligation to keep the position for him.”Her words were sonorous and powerful, which caused Daniel’s heart to tremble.He would not have expected Adina to say something like that.He recalled the situation when he ran into Adina in the Jones family’s mansion that afternoon, and she just asked him about this.She suddenly told their father that she wan
Zhenny’s expression instantly darkened.When that b*stard, Adina, mentioned Daniel’s name, she knew that her father would agree.Indeed, Daniel was the most suitable candidate to him.“Dad is right,” Zhenny softly added. “Jasmine is still young and immature, so please don’t mind her, Dad. Regarding the matter of the heir, we can confirm the details when Jones Corporation has a meeting later. What do you think?”Mr. Jones nodded. “We’ll discuss the matter later.”Adina smiled faintly.She brought this up at the banquet because she was afraid that the Jones family would go back on their word.Now that many people were witnesses. Even if Mr. Jones changed his mind later on or Zhenny cheated, it would be impossible to change anything.She was determined to obtain the heir position.The farce ended hurriedly, and the banquet continued, but people in the banquet hall looked at Adina with more disdain and curiosity.Mdm. Xavier held Adina’s hand and whispered, “Addy, even if it’s fo
Adina pursed her lips and took a sip of the champagne. It was a fine wine with a mellow and refreshing taste.The reunion banquet ended quietly.Dillon wanted to send Adina back, but she rejected him with a smile. “Duke is waiting for me outside. Dad, you better talk to Grandpa. He’s been watching you.” Dillon turned around and saw that Mr. Jones was really looking at him. He helplessly said, “Be careful on the road. Send me a message when you get home.”Adina nodded. She lifted the hem of her dress while walking out of the banquet hall.At this time, almost all the guests left. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by someone.She raised her eyebrows slightly. “Jasmine, what are you doing?”Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “Adina Daugherty, you insist on standing up against me, right?”Adina chuckled. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”“You stole Flint, fine. Why do you still want to compete against me for the position of heir?” Jasmine said in hat
When Adina walked out to the entrance, she saw a black car parked at the exit, keeping a low profile.She smiled faintly and walked over. Before she reached the car, Duke got out of the driver’s seat and helped her open the passenger side door.The man bent down and carefully fastened her seat belt for her before he said in a deep voice, “Why did you drink wine?”“I just took a few sips,” Adina said casually. “When did you get here?”Duke returned to the driver seat, held the steering wheel, and said, “I just arrived.”He drove the car slowly on the road, and his low, deep voice rang out in the car. ‘I should’ve attended the reunion banquet with you today.”Adina was stunned but immediately understood it.She guessed that the incident at the banquet tonight had ended up on the news. Sophia had mocked her, the reporters had hounded her, and people at the banquet had criticized her. The netizens were probably discussing all those incidents.Duke must have specifically browsed thr
Ever since they returned from abroad, they had basically spent all their time together in bed.She quickly looked away and decided to behave herself to stop triggering the man.It was a quick drive, and the car soon entered the courtyard of the Winters family’s mansion. The moment Adina stepped out of the car, Duke grabbed her into his arms, and they kissed for a minute.Adina only moved out of Duke’s arms when she heard voices from the house. “There’s a guest. Watch how you behave.”Duke glanced at the mansion. “It’s Aunt Mandy. She’s not an outsider.”Adina quickly pulled herself together. Aunt Mandy was not a simple person.The last time she came to visit Mabel, she said a bunch of bad things about Adina in front of Mabel.Adina did not care about Mabel’s attitude toward her, but they were a family. If they could get along harmoniously, it was naturally better. But if Aunt Mandy instigated things, Adina was afraid that they might not be able to live under one roof.Adina smo
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,
