“Nothing,” Duke said plainly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to drink water? Why aren’t you going downstairs yet?”

“Okay.” Harold turned around and left. After he took a step, he turned his head around again and said, “Johnny told me that he saw his parents fighting with each other, and his mother cried after his father beat her up. Johnny was really scared, so he told our preschool teacher about it. Daddy, don’t you ever mistreat Mommy. If you do, I’ll tell the police instead of my preschool teacher.”

Duke and Adina were speechless…

Adina forced a smile. “Hal, why would I even fight with your daddy? Silly boy, don’t think about such nonsense. Come on, I’ll bring you downstairs to get some water. After you finish drinking, I’ll pour you another glass and place it on the bedside table so that you don’t have to go downstairs to drink water in the middle of the night.”

After Harold was done, Adina sent him back to his room before returning to the master bedroom.

    It was snowing again. Crystal snowflakes fell on the balcony and windows. Duke was aware that Adina liked snow. She used to grab a handful of snow from the balcony early in the morning and bring them into the house like a little girl.However, at this moment, she was indifferent to the snow outside the window.The snowfall grew heavier, and soon, the balcony was covered in a thick layer of snow.After one or two hours, Adina turned her head around. “Duke, it’s snowing.”Duke was relieved.He walked to the balcony and hugged her. “Yes, it’s snowing. It’s getting cold. Rest well at home tomorrow. You can assign your work to your subordinates,” he said softly.Adina nestled in his arms and said, “There’s still something I have to personally handle.”She yawned and looked at her watch. “My god! It’s already 2:00 am.” She was shocked.Duke hugged her and gently said, “It was already late when you got back to the room. It’s time to go to bed now.”He helped Adina back to bed and c

    Due to the snowing, the site operation had temporarily come to a halt, and the workers had been given a day off. However, a dozen workers were busy over in the area by the coastline…Adina frowned. “What are they doing over there?”Graham said, “I asked them earlier. They said they’re building the guard rails, but there isn’t such a structure on the blueprint…”Mr. Wilson nodded. “The blueprint shows that area is supposed to be for boat rentals. If they surround it with guard rails, we won’t be able to carry out this activity.”Adina wrapped her coat tightly around her body and approached the workers.Many tools were strewn around the ground. The length of the guard rails would be at least three to four hundred meters, occupying two-thirds of the coastline.If the workers sealed more than half of the coastline, the resort project’s unique feature would be gone.Most importantly, the blueprint did not include the construction of the guard rails.Before Adina spoke, Daniel ster

    Fatso wielded the steel pipe and charged at Adina.Daniel had no idea what he was about to do, so he rushed forward and shielded Adina.Fatso could care less about them. He pushed Daniel to the side. Daniel was only in his early twenties. He was a skinny young man. When Fatso pushed him, Daniel almost fell to the ground.Adina looked stony. She grabbed Fatso by the wrist and slammed him over her shoulder. Fatso crashed onto the ground.Fatso was the head of the workers. When he was defeated, the rest of his workers surrounded Adina and her group.Adina snorted. “Why? Do you want to stay a few days behind the bars?”The workers were just laymen. They had their own families. If they were sent to jail, they would lose a lot of their wages. They retreated.“You’ve worked for half of the day for today. You can get your wages from Jones Corporation. Don’t even think about finishing the rest.” Adina said coolly, “If any of you are free this afternoon, help me to remove all the guard

    “Adina is under tremendous stress. That was why she fainted,” said the doctor. “She has to rest properly for at least three days. As her family, you should make sure she is not under any pressure.”Duke’s face darkened. “Yes. Thank you, doctor.”After the doctor finished the inspection, he packed his tools and left the ward. Duke turned to Daniel. “What happened before she fainted?”Daniel pursed his lips. This was his first time meeting his rumored brother-in-law.Daniel thought Adina and her husband had a rift in their relationship. Otherwise, why hadn’t his brother-in-law come to visit the Jones family?After Daniel saw Duke, he realized that his brother-in-law truly cared about his sister. Daniel noticed the concern in Duke’s eyes ever since they had arrived at the hospital.‘Could the reason for his brother-in-law’s unwillingness to visit them be the scars on his face?’Daniel avoided looking at Duke’s scar. He said softly, “The workers breached the construction law at t

    “Addy, calm down.” Duke wrapped his arm around her shoulders.“Let me go!” Adina pushed Duke away.The push tugged the needle out of her arm. Blood spilled and sprayed on the snow-white sheet. Duke tried to stop her and help her with her wound and the bleeding. But she avoided him. “Stay away from me! Duke, get away!”Duke spoke softly, “Addy, you need an infusion. I’ll call the nurse to come and help you with the infusion, okay?”“I don’t want any infusion! I don’t want an injection! Stop making decisions on my behalf without my permission!”Adina put on her shoes and headed out of the ward.They were on the fourth floor. There was a corridor outside the ward.Duke reached Adina and hugged her.“Let go of me! Get your hands off me!” Adina tried to break free from his grasp. She tried to push him away. Duke held onto her. He was afraid she might hurt herself, so he didn’t let her go. “Addy, don’t do this, please,” he said, hoarsely. “Addy, I’m Duke. I’m your husband.”“I

    “Don’t mention it. Just lie down and rest. I’ll call the doctor now.”Duke stroked her hair before he stood up and walked out of the ward. He did not go far. He stood at the door and waved at a nurse to come over.The nurse brought the medicine with her. She inserted the syringe back into Adina’s hand. This time, the nurse made sure to tape several strips of gauze on her hand to prevent it from being pulled out so easily.Adina looked down. She tried to recall everything that had happened.She was certain she did not just wake up. She was certain she did not pull out the needle during a nightmare. Something was amiss…‘Did something more happen? Why didn’t that voice appear in her mind this time? Could that voice have entered into the marrow of her bones and became her instinct?’“Addy, what are you thinking?” Duke’s voice interrupted her train of thoughts.“Nothing.” Adina looked up. She smiled. “When are they going to discharge me from the hospital?”“You’re under great press

    Duke led her to the living room.Mr. Brown served them coffee. The living room was filled with the aroma of coffee beans.“Addy, this is Alva.” Duke introduced his friend to her. “Alva, this is my wife, Adina”“Mdm. Winters, nice to meet you.” The African man fixed his gaze on Adina.Adina felt uncomfortable with Alva looking at her.In the past, Duke would get jealous whenever other men stared at her. He would give them a warning look. However, at that moment, Duke was motionless.Adina was annoyed. She pinched his thigh under the table. She glared at Duke.Duke patted the back of her hand and spoke softly in Cairnstanian language, “Alva means no harm to you. Relax.”“Mdm. Winters, you’re very beautiful,” said Alva with a smile, revealing his white teeth. “I know how to read a pulse. Mdm. Winters, could you please let me read your pulse?”Adina wanted to say no. But Duke nodded at her. She placed her hand on the table. Alva gently took her hand and read her pulse.Adina r

    Duke froze.Earl’s previously worked in the Bio-intelligent Chip Technology Company. ‘Could he have…?’“Mr. Winters, I’m a witch doctor, so I don’t have much knowledge about bio-intelligent chips,” said Alva. “But they are rampant in the Hestia Border. The superiors implant this type of chip in their subordinates’ bodies to prevent them from betraying their authority. After one is implanted with the chip, the superiors can control one’s mind and make one obey them completely.”Duke pursed his lips. “Do you know anyone who is a professional in this area?”Alva shook his head. “The R&D technicians are very well protected. All of the information is under highly guarded confidential documents. It’s almost impossible to gather any information about it.”“Okay. Got it,” said Duke. “Thank you for making this trip. I’ll assign someone to send you back.”“Blake asked me to pass on a message to you. He says he is all well at the Hestia Border. And you don’t have to worry so much about him,

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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “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.
