Sure enough, it was because Adina had not eaten anything for the whole day.

She stood up weakly. “I must’ve gotten it last night. I’ll feel sick whenever I eat anything…”

Duke carried her to the couch in the living room. “Sit here. I’ll cook you some oatmeal.”

“It’s alright. I don’t have an appetite.” Adina smiled. “Duke, go accompany Hal. I want to be alone.”

“I’ll accompany you. I will neither say anything nor bother you. Don’t chase me away.”

Duke sat in front of her. There was a hint of pain in his gaze.

‘Whenever I’m in pain, he’s in pain too.

‘I owe him so much…’

She lowered her gaze. “Duke, I’m going out for a walk. I don’t want to stay here.”

“I’ll go with you.”

He stood up. He put on his coat, then helped Adina put on her down jacket. “Let’s go.”

“Duke, I want to go out alone. Please…” She bit her lower lip. “I want to be alone. I want to be by myself…”

“You can walk in front, and I’ll trail behind you, then. I won’t make a sound.” He said softly.

    “We’ll go to sleep first,” said George. He turned and took out a blanket from the cabinet and laid it on the bed. The four children huddled together in Harold’s room and slowly fell asleep.The night sky outside the window slowly became brighter. Dawn emerged as the morning sun rose slowly up in the sky. A new day had come.Harold was the first to wake up. He jumped out of his bed. “Mommy must be back!”He opened the door and rushed out. Unfortunately, he only saw Colin downstairs. He was alone, cleaning the table.“Papa Brown, is Mommy awake?”Colin raised his head. “Mr. and Mdm. Winters have not come home since heading out last night.”Harold’s face turned pale. “Mommy isn’t home yet…”He turned around and rushed into the master bedroom. The blanket was neatly folded. There was no sign of people sleeping on that bed. This meant that his parents had not come home last night.“Calm down.” George said calmly, “I’ll call Daddy.”Duke’s phone vibrated. He was standing on

    Her figure faded into the night as she slowly walked out of the range of surveillance cameras.As Duke tried to jump to the next camera, he heard his assistant say, “Mr. Winters, at the end of this road, is an abandoned unfinished building. The government has approved the blasting within one month. So, there are no cameras installed nearby…”Duke’s gaze darkened. “Are there any surveillance cameras at the end of the road?”“After the crude construction, you’ll reach a small fishing village. It was acquired by Gardner Corporation three years ago. The fishermen evacuated a month ago. So far, a demolition project is in the works, so no cameras there…”Jake’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat as Duke stared at him with his cold gaze. “But there are some fishing boats with cameras nearby. I’ll look into it.”Duke looked at the screen where Adina was at. He unconsciously lifted his hand and touched it gently. “Addy, don’t leave me… “The children are waiting for you to come home…”

    Even if Adeena sat in the corner of the banquet hall, she would still be the most eye-catching presence among the guests.She said calmly, “Mother, I don’t want to marry anyone.”“What are you talking about, silly?” Jada held her hand. “It’s been a customary rule for thousands of years that men and women get married when they are of age. Since we raised you, it’s our responsibility to help you find a good husband from a good family. Mr. Finnian is an excellent option. You can try to date him.”“That’s right, Adeena. The Finnian family is a very powerful family in Cloud City. It’s a blessing to get married to Mr. Finnian” Jada’s other daughter said with a sweet smile. Even so, there was a hint of jealousy in her smile.‘Adeena was adopted by the Willis family four years ago. She lived a suppressed life under the family, yet she still acts so arrogantly. ‘The most enviable thing is her face. She’s gorgeous, and there is not a single flaw on her fair face.‘She has a faint aura tha

    “Even if your father had not rescued her, the fishermen who were there would have. Regardless, she’ll still be alive. But it’s different for your case…” Jada said earnestly, “If Adeena had not shown up, if it wasn’t for her blood being compatible with yours, if it wasn’t for the successful exchange transfusion, you would be dead now…”“Alright, alright. Stop it!” Ruth stood up, upset. “Don’t ever tell her that she saved me. Or else, she’ll act even more arrogantly in front of me!”She swung her hand and walked into the banquet hall.Jada sighed. The Willis family had taken great pains to save their daughter.After a decade, they finally found Adeena, whose blood matched Ruth’s. They went against Adeena’s will and forced her to go through the exchange transfusion operation with Ruth.At that time, Adeena was pregnant. After that surgery, Ruth slowly recovered. On the other hand, Adeena was in a coma for a year. When she woke up, she had lost her memories. They then adopted

    Adeena went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. Whenever she looked at herself in the mirror, she always seemed to see something else through her reflection. Even so, she could not detect anything when she tried to look closer at herself.‘I’ve visited doctors several times, but they could not find the cause of my amnesia.‘I might either just live the rest of my life feeling out of place all the time.‘Or I might suddenly regain all my memories…‘I keep having a feeling that someone is waiting for me to come home…’After she put on lipstick, she walked out of the bathroom. She saw Jack holding champagne at the front.‘In the past three years in the Willis family, I’ve met many dignitaries in Cloud City with Jada.‘I’m no fool. I knew Jada’s real intention of taking me to meet these people. I can consider myself pretty, and the Willis family hopes to marry me to a Cloud City dignitary. With that, it’ll raise their status to a higher level.‘Even though they saved my life,

    Adeena raised her foot high up and kicked Jack.“You b*tch!” Jack was on the floor, holding his chest with a disbelief expression. “Who gave you the courage to…” She dusted her hands and brushed the dust off her shoulders. “I’ve given you a chance to walk away. Serve you right.”“Jack, what happened?!” Ruth hurriedly emerged from the corner of the corridor, panicking. “Deena, how could you do anything to Jack? He’s the future heir of the Finnian family. If you were to offend the Finnian family, Mr. and Mrs. Finnian won’t let you off the hook!”Adeena looked calm. “Well, in order to make sure the Willis family doesn’t get entangled by this, let’s meet in court.”“The Finnian family is very powerful. Why would you lodge a report?!” Ruth helped Jack to stand on his feet. “Deena, Jack just wanted to talk to you. Why do you hit him? How will you explain this to Mother and Father?”Adeena took out her phone from her purse and pressed it. They then heard Jack’s voice playing from it.

    Jada raised her head and stared quietly at her daughter.“Mom, why are you looking at me like that…?” Ruth was a little scared. “I didn’t say anything wrong. She was being pretentious, completely unlike someone who has been living under someone else’s roof…”“When Jack insulted Adeena, were you the one who instigated it?” Jada asked slowly. “I just heard Jack call Adeena a whore. Were you the one who told him Adeena had kids?”Ruth felt really guilty, but she remained stubborn. “It’s not like I lied. Adeena did give birth to a child. Didn’t you tell me this yourself?”Slap!Jada slapped her.“Mom, why did you slap me?!” Ruth cupped her face. “I only told Jack the truth. What did I do wrong? I grew up with Jack, but you made us break up! That’s not all! You’re going to stick Jack with someone’s used goods, and I’m just kindly reminding him of that, can’t I?”“Because of you, that child in Adeena’s stomach was taken out at seven months. And because the baby was underdeveloped, the

    For the value of this set of jewelry that Adeena wore four years ago to be worth more than all her belongings… Especially the Heart of the Ocean. The people of Cloud City have heard this name, but no one had ever seen it before.“She’s not an ordinary person,” Jada said coolly, “Because we had to treat your illness, your father and I stashed away her possessions for fear that her family would come to retrieve her. But your illness has gotten better, so I’ve decided to help Adeena find her family. I also don’t want her to call me mother in vain.” “Mom, don’t you think she may have stolen all these?”“Who would wear stolen things in public?” Jada asked. “She is also acting so naturally about it, so she’s most likely not the daughter of an ordinary family.”“If that’s the case, then all the more reason that we can’t let her marry into the Finnian family and come into contact with more powerful families.” Ruth had a cunning glint in her eye. “If she found her family, they would thorou

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.

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.

    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.
