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
“Sean enjoys drinking. Every time he drinks, he tends to act violently. He has beaten me up many times in the Gardner family’s mansion. Each time he beats me up, others in the Gardner family just coldly watch. Aside from my son, nobody protects me, but last night… Addy shielded me.” Sophia chuckled in resignation. “I’m actually not on good terms with Addy, but when I was abused, she was the first to stand up for me.“Besides slapping other women and me, Sean tried to slap Addy too. Addy was forced to hit Sean to protect herself and me.“Sean’s an adult male. When a weak woman like Addy kicked him, he flew to the road. I have reason to suspect that he faked it. He probably wanted to take advantage of the Winters family.”When Adina woke up, she saw Sophia’s live stream interview.She was really surprised about Sophia showing up to clarify things on her behalf.After all, ever since her return from abroad, Sophia had mocked her every time she visited the Xavier family. She even thou
“I love Mommy the most. I’m not scared of you at all,” George said lovingly. “Mommy, with all the stress from work, you must be very tired. Yesterday, I did some research on various resorts for your honeymoon. Fogline Islands sounds good. Do you want to go there for a vacation with Daddy?”Adina paused. She nodded and said, “Sure! Do you mind arranging our itinerary for us, then?”“No problem!” George said happily. “Usually, a honeymoon lasts for a month. Other than the Fogline Islands, there are other fun places you can go, too. I’ll go check them out!”He excitedly took out his laptop. He checked the places that they could travel to and typed them down to make a complete honeymoon plan.Adina sighed as she looked out the window and watched her two carefree children build snowmen outside. ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there’s no problem with my body? The six of us could be together happily forever…’“Madam, breakfast is ready.”Colin served breakfast. Duke cooked the bolognese sp
