Zhenny smiled when she noticed that Adina no longer appeared casual and arrogant.She thought that she had hit Adina’s sore spot, so she continued. “Twenty years ago, your mother got acquainted with the Jones family. Why can’t I mention her? Adina Daugherty, even though you’ve become Mdm. Winters, that doesn’t change the fact that you’re an illegitimate daughter! The poor Daugherty family. They raised someone else’s illegitimate daughter, but when the daughter grew up, she overthrew the whole Daugherty family. I really can’t face the Daugherty family.”Adina’s gaze instantly turned dark. She raised her arm and slapped Zhenny hard.Those with good martial arts skills usually had greater strength. Her slap completely took Zhenny by surprise.Zhenny was not standing steadily. When Adina slapped her, her head hit the wall next to the elevator and instantly buzzed.Zhenny held onto the wall in disbelief. “You dare slap me. Adina Daugherty, you—” “What’s wrong with slapping you?” Ad
Adina walked into the elevator. When the doors closed, she turned around and saw her face in the elevator’s mirror.Her eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of her lips were still filled with hostility and ruthlessness.Why did she… suddenly become so violent?She slowly raised her arm and could apparently still feel the moment she slapped Zhenny.She was indeed angry. When Zhenny insulted her late mother, her head was filled with rage. She was completely dumbfounded.Her character made it impossible for her to act violently toward an elder no matter how angry she got.Adina massaged her forehead and forced herself to calm down.Ding-dong!The elevator doors opened, and just as she walked out, a tall figure approached her.The bright sunlight was shining on the man, and he was wearing a black trench coat as well as a gray sweater. He looked warm, which was very rare.“Has it ended?”Duke held her slim waist as he led her outside.Adina looked down. “Duke, I just hit someone
Zhenny complained about her grief on the live stream platform, and her miserable look immediately made many netizens pity her.Winters Corporation could suppress the media’s broadcast, but they could not stop the public from talking.Zhenny had hired a lot of online ghostwriters to push the live stream to the headlines. Whenever people watched it, they would comment on it, increasing the public’s opinions.[Oh, my gosh! A younger member hit an elder! What the f*ck?!][Mdm. Jones used to appear very capable and imposing like a businesswoman when she was on the news. She looks so miserable today.][Adina dared to hit her own aunt only because she’s Mdm. Winters, right?][Wait a minute, I thought she divorced Duke?][It’s rumored that they’re divorced, but there is no solid evidence.]The Internet was full of rumors and speculation.Buzz! Adina’s phone vibrated by the bed.Duke cast a glance at the incoming call and answered it carefully. “Father.”“Where’s Addy?” Dillon soun
“No way! You said you would pick me up at night!” Ben held a pillar and behaved childishly. “I still want to play with Mel. I’m not done playing yet!”Quince added, “Blech! Mommy, you’re not keeping your promise. You said I could go back at 7:00 pm!”The children in preschool loved the kids from the Winters family the most. Melody was pretty and cute, Alden was smart, George helped them like a big brother, and Harold always made people in their preschool laugh. The Winters family was having a party today, and basically, all the children who lived nearby were attending it.Adina walked downstairs.The rich ladies who were standing at the entrance instantly got distracted.Adina had two scars on her face, but she still looked exceptionally gorgeous, hence they could not take their eyes off her.Her temperament was natural, elegant, and casual.“Don’t worry, Ben’s mother and Quince’s mother. After the party, I’ll get the driver to send the kids home safely.” Adina smiled and said,
“Mommy seems to be getting worse.”Duke heard Alden’s childish yet mature voice.Duke no longer looked as relaxed and gentle as he was in front of Adina. “Al, I’m looking for a way,” he said in a very deep voice.He had contacted many experts about it, but everyone told him that there was only one solution: he had to overcome it on his own.There was also another solution, which was to increase the medication’s dosage to suppress the agitation factor in Adina’s blood.However, the side effects of the medication were already huge. If the dosage was increased, it would stimulate the nerves too much.“Dad, I know a witch doctor in Esil,” Alden slowly said. “They say he can use parasitic technology to replace the patient’s blood. Once the blood that contains the agitation factors is replaced, Mommy will become normal again.”“Alden…” Duke stared at him. “Do you know what you’re talking about?” Blood replacement was highly difficult surgery that could not be completed through moder
Alden looked up with his black eyes and said, “Mommy, I’ve found a few tourist spots which are really suitable for homebodies to visit. The itinerary is very relaxing, and it won’t be tiring at all.”The family of six discussed where the couple would go on their honeymoon, while public opinion on the Internet continued to ferment.It had been more than half a day since the incident, and the major media companies on the Internet tried to repost and comment on the incident. When they noticed that Winters Corporation did not interfere, they became increasingly bold.“Haha! I’m going to ruin Adina this time!” Zhenny was bedridden, but her eyes were full of malice and anger. “She slapped me. I want it so that she’ll never be able to show her face in public ever again!”She was born to be the only lady in the Jones family. Back when she married the young master of the Yackley family in a grand manner, she had become a rich lady whom everyone in Sea City was envious of.Although she suff
“Mom, didn’t you… divorce Dad because he was a drunk who abused you?” Jasmine’s lips trembled as she asked.She never agreed to meet her biological father all these years because of that reason.She hated her father for committing domestic violence and ruining their happy life as a family of three.However, the video was telling her that the main reason for her parents’ divorce was something else. Her mother had actually had an affair, so her father lost control of his emotions and hit her mother. Surveillance at their home captured the scene of domestic violence before it was posted on the Internet. Therefore, her father became the main party at fault, and Jasmine never forgave him.“Mom, tell me right now. Is this video showing the truth?”Zhenny coldly said, “All of this happened about a decade ago. Is it necessary to explain it again? But you, Jasmine Yackley, I sent you abroad to study, but you became a social butterfly instead. Is this how you repay me for my hard work in tr
The netizens started discussing the issue again.Zhenny continued. “I was exhausted at that time and a little dizzy. When someone came over and beat me up, my niece, Addy, was the first person who appeared in my mind. Before that incident, I had a conflict with Addy in the meeting room. I was unhappy with Addy becoming the heir of Jones Corporation, so I insisted that she was the culprit.“But I’ve asked for clarification. A drunk man rushed into the company at that time and directly hit me. This incident was caused by a drunk man, and Adina has nothing to do with it. I hope you won’t involve an innocent person in this anymore.”The netizens refused to buy it.[Mdm. Jones, if you’ve been kidnapped, blink twice.][Winters Corporation must have spent money to intimidate Zhenny, so she has to lie.][The Winters family’s resources are really beyond measure.]When Zhenny saw the netizens’ comments, she had the ghost of a smile.See, no matter how she explained it, the netizens would
