Alden secretly thought, ‘Oh, no.’

Duke was very special to his sister. Whenever she saw Duke, she would be automatically drawn to him.

He had made a mistake this time.

He quickly ran after Melody and instantly grabbed her arm.

“Mel, don’t run. Mom’s going to be worried.” Alden gently coaxed her. “Mom’s not well. If she’s worried about you, she won’t recover.”

Melody finally stopped running.

She walked up to the handrail in the hospital’s corridor and looked downstairs. She only looked away after Duke’s figure disappeared.

Alden looked down and clenched his fists tightly.

Duke Winters was very likely their father.

However, that man had made two women pregnant at the same time, so he was not qualified to be their father.

If his sister acknowledged Duke as her father, she could possibly be hurt once again.

He did not want his mother and sister to get hurt.

He was a man. He would grow up soon, and he would take care of the family on his own.

    After she went back home and got changed, she drove to Daugherty Corporation.It was her first time there after she returned from abroad.Five years ago, it had been Daugherty Corporation's old building. Now, this building had been renovated. Its exterior wall was inlaid with blue glass, which refracted the blue sky and white clouds. It looked extraordinarily extravagant.Adina calmly walked inside.As soon as she showed up in the lobby, she attracted the attention of countless people.She was the Daugherty family's eldest daughter and the most beautiful woman in Sea City. Either one of those titles was sufficient to shock all the staff in Daugherty Corporation.“Isn’t this Adina? Why is she back in the company?”“Didn’t the news yesterday mention that she's become the third biggest shareholder of Daugherty Corporation? There's a shareholder meeting today, so naturally she has to come.” “She hasn't visited the company for about four years. I guess she doesn’t even know what th

    “Even if I get out of here, you can’t change the fact that my mother established Daugherty Corporation.”Adina’s gentle tone and calm expression was a stark contrast to Aaron’s anger.A few secretaries in the corridor were so shocked that they dared not breathe heavily. The atmosphere froze, and the situation was tense.Adina took a step forward, and there was a light flash in her cold eyes. “Dad, you really won’t accept me?”Aaron gritted his teeth and said, “From the moment you set that fire four years ago, I no longer acknowledged you as my daughter.”“What if I told you that I didn’t set the fire?”“Even if you didn’t start it, the fire was set because of you.” Aaron’s eyes were ruthless and profound. “You shouldn’t have come back alive.”“Okay, I understand now.”Adina smiled brightly.Since their father-daughter relationship had progressed to such a point, any so-called affection had also disappeared.So, she did not need to fear anything now.“Dad, Adina, please don’t

    Her father could get out uninjured, but she would not be so lucky.Once the truth was exposed, she and her mother would be in great trouble.Dew took a deep breath. “Dad, the shareholder meeting is starting. Let’s attend the meeting first.”Most of Daugherty Corporation’s shares were held by the Daugherty family members. Aaron had 35%, Dew and Adina had 25% respectively, and the rest held a small portion.Dew had initially been the biggest shareholder. After her shares were divided, she ranked second with Adina. To increase her power, Aaron transferred 1% to her. So, Adina became the third biggest shareholder with just 1% less than Dew.Aaron sat in the main seat, while Dew and Adina sat on either side of him.The big shareholders in the room had naturally heard about the change in the Daugherty family’s shares. Many of them were senior employees who had worked hard with Aaron in the past, so they knew the Daugherty family well. Before the meeting started, Dew had even talked to

    The shareholders sitting in the meeting room were experienced businessmen. When they thought about it, they understood Winters Corporation's intentionIf there was no connection between Winters Corporation and Daugherty Corporation, they would be lending their hand when Daugherty Corporation was in trouble.If Winters Corporation was close with Daugherty Corporation, they would just be giving them an arbitrary project.Mr. Porter said, “No matter what, this project will only be advantageous to Daugherty Corporation. Since it will only start in three years, we’ll talk about this project three years later. Now, Ms. Dew Daugherty, please talk about the big projects that are currently progressing in Daugherty Corporation so that we can have a brief idea.”Dew flipped through her documents and slowly reported, “There are three main projects in Daugherty Corporation. Two of them are going to be completed soon, and another one is in process. Besides, the company is also in talks for other

    She was beautiful and arrogant. Her every move and smile appeared confident and casual.Besides, she really understood the customers, so the seated shareholders subconsciously listened to her.Mr. Lawson's expression improved, and he said, “What else do you know? Carry on.”“Actually, I think Daugherty Corporation should target Boyd Corporation instead of the Williams and Jones family.” Adina looked up with a twinkle in her eyes. “Boyd Corporation is going to build a city of heavy machinery in Sea City. I guess all of you can estimate how many products Daugherty Corporation can produce without me explaining it.”Dew suddenly chuckled. “Adina, since you know Boyd Corporation, it means you’ve really been following Daugherty Corporation these past four years. But, how can you not know that Boyd Corporation doesn’t work with any local company?”Mr. Lawson criticized Adina. “I thought you’d have a good idea. It looks like you’re only good at empty words.”Mr. Porter also scoffed. “Eve

    It was difficult to secure the project with Boyd Corporation, but it was not entirely impossible.If Adina resorted to dirty tricks like sleeping with an executive, maybe the executives would lower their requirements and sign the contract.The project was incredibly important, but Dew would rather not cooperate with Boyd Corporation than allow Adina to work in Daugherty Corporation… Adina was like a wild wolf that was waiting for the right moment. If Adina entered the company, the Daugherty family would no longer know peace. “Adina, Boyd Corporation is well-known for being hard to deal with. I think you shouldn’t waste your time,” Dew said. “If you really want to do something for Daugherty Corporation, you can try to approach Mr. Williams…” Adina raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Not even ten Williams families and Jones families can compare to a project from Boyd Corporation. I’ll convince the staff of Boyd Corporation to sign the contract in three days.”Her tone was filled wi

    Adina was calm. “Go on.”“I’ll give you another $100,000,000, so it will be a total of $1,100,000,000. After you get the money, get as far away from Sea City as possible and never ever come back.”Dew's heart bled as she said that.She did not have that much money in her account, so she had to go and get a loan from the bank in order to collect the $1,100,000,000.But what other solution did she have?George had sent some people to watch her closely, so it was impossible for her to find someone to assassinate Adina again.Besides, if she killed Adina and people found out, she would never be able to marry into the Winters family.If she could make Adina go away by spending some money, she would try her best to produce the cash.If she lost the money, she could earn it back again. But if she was exposed, there would be no way to turn the situation around… Adina stared at Dew’s dynamic and interesting expressions before she chuckled. “Dew, you’re not someone who operates at a l

    “Dew, you still have no idea, do you? I’ve opened a studio, and I’m ready to collaborate with Winters Corporation at this point.”Adina’s beautiful face was filled with a bright and prideful smile.She raised her fingers and tucked her fallen hair behind her ear. “My collaboration with Winters Corporation isn't related to Daugherty Corporation. How are you going to stop me?”Dew immediately widened her eyes. “No way! Winters Corporation wouldn't collaborate with you! What did you do, huh? I’m warning you not to approach the Winters family. I won’t allow you to go near Duke Winters!”Adina narrowed her eyes nonchalantly.Dew was easily triggered. What was she afraid of this time?Was it related to Winters Corporation?Was Dew afraid that she would snatch Duke away?Pfft! Hilarious!Adina was too lazy to engage with Dew further, so she just turned around and left.Dew’s heart seemed to be ripped into pieces amidst Adina’s snickers.Her mind was blank, and she declared her owne

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.

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.

    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.
