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
Public opinion on the Internet gradually subsided, and the night sky slowly turned darker.Adina leaned against the balcony with a laptop on her lap. She was writing codes for her company’s new project.She always felt the most relaxed whenever she was working.Woof! Woof!All of a sudden, she heard dogs barking from outside the window.When one dog barked, many of the other dogs in the surrounding area kept barking too.Adina pushed the window open and looked out with a frown. She noticed that a few stray dogs had appeared in the neighborhood out of the blue.As the dogs’ barking grew louder, it lit up a fire in her heart. She frowned and felt more irritated.She saw a knife on the tea table and walked over to pick it up. Right before she threw it, her fingers froze.Those dogs had only been barking for a while, yet she wanted to kill them?Why did she have such a horrible thought?“Where did these stray dogs come from? Can a few of you shoo the stray dogs away?!”Downstai
The woman speaking was actually Sophia.What a funny twist of fate. They actually met while she was out for a walk at night.Adina initially wanted to pretend as if she did not see them, but the confrontation had seemingly escalated and become physical.Sean raised his hand and gave Sophia a slap. “So, what if I slap you? Sophia Xavier, I’m telling you that I’ve put up with you for a long time! Don’t ever think that I have to tolerate you because you’re the Xavier family’s daughter! I married you because the family forced me. Do you really think I like you? Haha!” Another woman was standing by the side and dressed coquettishly. She covered her mouth and smiled. “Ms. Xavier, you became out of shape after giving birth. Seany says he feels disgusted every time he sleeps on the same bed with you. He also says that touching you is the same as touching himself. You should just stay at home as Mrs. Gardner while I help support Seany’s reputation outside. We won’t cross each other’s paths
Adina’s gaze turned dark. She raised her leg and kicked Sean in the stomach.She did not want to defend Sophia, but she hated seeing a jerk who protected his mistress and abused his wife like that.She exerted 90% of her strength into her leg, kicking Sean onto the road. It forced an oncoming car to stop.“Adina… Adina Daugherty… You… Have I offended you?” Sean covered his chest and seemed furious. “The news was right. You have a tendency to act violently. You simply hit anyone as you like with the support of the Winters family.”Duke clenched his fists gently, and the sound of his knuckles cracking was clear.“Since you know that the Winters family supports her, you better keep your mouth shut.” He smiled maliciously.Sean was enraged.He could take Adina on, and he would be even less of an opponent if Duke got involved.He covered his chest and lay on the floor as he groaned in pain.Duke looked to the side at Adina. He saw that she was staring ahead in a daze and her fists
Besides, this man had a mistress and beat his wife. A jerk like that was undoubtedly despicable!Therefore, the driver started the engine, and the car immediately disappeared into the distance.Sean could not breathe deeply, and he nearly suffocated.After lying on the ground for more than ten minutes, a cleaner finally found him by the roads and sent him to the hospital.The night sky grew darker, and Duke held Adina’s cold hand as they walked on the winding mountain road.Adina only spoke after a long time. “Duke, I realize that I’m losing control over my emotions. I should go and see a doctor tomorrow.”She had actually seen many doctors and eaten plenty of medication, but nothing alleviated her symptoms at all.“Addy, you’re a sympathetic girl. Whenever you see a situation like that, you naturally can’t control your emotions. I don’t think you were wrong.” She heard Duke whisper softly. “If the same thing happens again, I still hope that you’ll step in.”Adina was stunned f
Alden was wearing a pair of checkered pajamas, yet the lazy, casual outfit could not hide the ruthlessness in his eyes.He pursed his lips and coldly said, “I’ve already blocked the surveillance footage, but Sean Gardner’s interview has been reposted more than millions of times, so it’s incredibly hard to delete it completely.”Every time he removed one, a few hundred would pop up at the same time, so he could not remove them all.Duke walked over and calmly said, “Removing the footage isn’t the solution for this.”Alden nodded. “If Mommy isn’t cured, this will keep happening. Daddy, you won’t be able to cover it up one day.”Duke cast a glance at Alden.It looked like Alden still had not given up on the blood replacement treatment.Duke pursed his lips. “Let’s solve this first.”He sat in front of the desk and made a few calls.“Jake, acquire 20% of Gardner Corporation’s retail shares in three hours. Don’t worry about the price.”“Mr. Gardner, you should know why I’m giving
