“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
Since Adina had helped her vent her anger and avenged her last night, she had an obligation to explain things for Adina today.The hospital where Sean stayed was surrounded by reporters.It was only when Mr. Gardner came with the bodyguards that the reporters were finally chased.“B*stard!” When Mr. Gardner walked into the ward, he gave Sean a hard slap on the face. “Do you know how seriously you’ve messed up?”“Grandpa, my ribs were broken. You didn’t ask me if I’m in pain after you arrived in the hospital, but you slapped me instead. Am I your grandson?” Sean angrily said, “Since the Gardner family isn’t seeking justice for me, can’t I think of a solution?”“This is your so-called solution?! Gardner Corporation is going bankrupt because of you!” Mr. Gardner slapped him again. “Get an interview and openly apologize now. Just say that Duke Winters hit you because you offended Mdm. Winters!”“Wow! The surveillance camera shot everything clearly. It’s useless even if I lie and apol
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,
