Jake narrowed his eyes. “Do you know how long Mr. Winters, Mr. Sunderland, and Mr. Walker have waited for Ms. Daugherty?”The receptionist’s face turned pale. “Mr. Wilson, she told me that she hadn't made an appointment, so I just took action according to the company’s policy. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? She-She didn't state her identity either. How could I know have known that she was Mr. Winters’ guest?”“Alright, you better think of a way to explain this to Mr. Winters.”Jake cast a cold glance at her before he turned around and returned to the CEO’s office.The receptionist’s legs lost all strength, and she nearly fell.Meanwhile, Adina was driving toward her studio.Ethan had found the studio for her, and it was in a strategic location.The office was a hundred square meters in size. It looked small as well as exquisite, and every corner was filled with warmth.Before she started working, her phone vibrated. It was an incoming call from Jake."Hello, Mr. Wilson," s
At that time, Ms. Daugherty and Duke would work together to beat Trent up. He would not help him. Trent seemed to think of something as he hunched his shoulders and said, “I have slept with a lot of women, so it’s nothing for me to sleep with one less woman. Duke just slept with one woman once in his life, so he really needs a woman to brighten his life up. I’ll quit then. Is that okay?” When Duke heard his name, he turned back and coldly asked, “What did you say?” “Nothing.” Eilam covered Trent’s mouth and followed Duke into the car. Adina was busy with some miscellaneous matters in her office. After she was done with those tasks, she went online and published some advertisements for hiring. Before she could send out the advertisements, someone knocked on her office door. She thought the property owner had come for the registration, but when she opened the door, she saw three people.She curled her lips and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to cast your nobility aside and
“Mr. Winters, Mr. Sunderland, Mr. Walker, do you have any questions?”Adina sat down and glanced at the three people nonchalantly.Trent stroked his chin. “I don’t understand many of the terms that you’ve mentioned, but because I don’t understand, you seem very professional. I don’t have any opinions.”“Ms. Daugherty, you really live up to your title as a smart chip designer.” Eilam sincerely gave her a big thumbs-up. “With your participation in Project A-F, I believe the designed car will be available as scheduled.”Duke nodded indifferently. “Let’s sign the contract.”Eilam took out the contract that he had brought along. There were some empty spaces for the profit sharing and signatures.Trent was the first to say, “The project's profit is distributed evenly among the three companies: Winters, Sunderland, and Walker. Since Ms. Daugherty is joining us, we’ll give the remaining 10% to her.”Ten percent profit of such a huge project was actually considered very high.Just as Ad
“Stop talking crap then.” Eilam rolled his eyes at Trent.“Was it my fault?” Trent felt quite wronged. “The Internet said she gave birth to two stillborns, so I thought her kids died a long time ago. But she's going to pick her kids up in preschool. What’s going on, guys?”“Two of her kids are still alive. They didn’t die. Don’t say such things again,” Duke said indifferently.Trent appeared totally shocked before he gulped. “So, she has two kids, and you have two kids too. If you get together, there's going to be four kids in total! Oh, my gosh, isn’t the house going to be chaotic?”Duke cast a cold glance at him. “Who says we'll be together?”“Fine, just deny it!” Trent scoffed. “Adina's so beautiful. I'm guessing a lot of men want to be her children's stepfather. If you act too slow, don't come complaining to us.”Duke recalled the scenario in the hospital yesterday.She truly did not lack a man.He just wondered if that man was her children's biological father or just the
When Adina arrived at The Rock Bar, she pushed open the door to a private room and went inside. Soon after, she saw that Flint had been tied and thrown on the floor. “Addy, you’re finally here…” Flint wiggled over like a caterpillar.Just then, he was kicked to the side by a man in a black suit.The man in the black suit walked over with a cigarette. “Did you bring the money?”Adina threw the box over. “Five million dollars, not a penny less.”The man in the black suit threw the box to his people behind him to let them count the money. The group checked for ten minutes before they were done.Adina grabbed Flint by the collar and walked outside.“Addy, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad. I won't hang out in a place like this again.”“Mad at you? Ha! Do I have the time?” Adina pushed him strongly. “I'm warning you. If you get into this kind of trouble again, don’t call me!”This man was already twenty-five years old, but he was still getting into blackmailing situations. Who woul
Trent drank a glass of wine, and seemed regretful.Eilam stared at him. “Whatever it is you want to say, you better think twice first.”As he spoke, he intentionally cast a glance at Duke.“Maybe you don’t know the man who was with Adina just now, but I've heard his name a lot.” Trent shook his head and said, “He’s from Anbarica. He's a typical rich boy from a rich family. People call him the Prince of Love. The women around him never show up repeatedly. Compared with this Mr. Morton, I wouldn't dare call myself a playboy.”Eilam was in disbelief. “There's actually someone more disloyal than you?”“Adina's such a tough woman, but she still fell for Flint.” Trent sighed and said, “It’s such a shame for this gorgeous beauty to be with Flint. The bar's boss said that a rich man was blackmailed. Looks like it was Flint. You can imagine how Mr. Morton ended up like that.”Duke glared at him. “Who says she's fallen for Flint?”“Isn’t it obvious?” Trent said. “The two of them hugged ea
When Alden was growing up, Flint was in their lives almost every day.Sometimes when his mom was busy, Uncle Flint would come over and send them to school. He would always bring them out. Many neighbors had also misunderstood that Uncle Flint was their father.He knew that they would return to Sea City one day, so he never dared to think about it too much.However, a few days ago, Uncle Flint had suddenly reappeared in their world. Alden had been wondering if Uncle Flint married his mother, would there be one more person who could protect his mother?But now, his fantasy had shattered into pieces.Uncle Flint had gotten involved with another woman and even asked his mom to help him out.Alden really regretted calling Flint "Dad" the other day.He moved forward and nonchalantly said, “Mom, you can go ahead and do other things. I’ll help Uncle Flint clean up.”While Adina was more than irritated with Flint, she did not want her son to take over.She twisted a towel as she said
If was fine as long as he could be in her life.But Alden was asking him to leave now.“I’ll leave on the earliest flight tomorrow.” Flint pulled the blanket over and covered his face. “I’m tired. I want to get some sleep.”Alden silently held the basin and entered the bathroom.He felt guilty and blamed himself. His face was full of anxiety.No matter what, Uncle Flint had lent his mom a hand when she was in trouble, but he was chasing Uncle Flint away.Was he being too selfish?……The next morning, when Adina went downstairs to make breakfast, the couch was empty.There was a note on the table in the dining room. [Addy, my father's calling for me. I’ll go back home first. See you next time.”Adina pursed her lips.Flint came from a rich family, but he was unreliable, and his bank card had been frozen for a long time.She guessed the Morton family must have been shocked when he returned $6,000,000 to her yesterday.She had expected the Morton family to call him back as we
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,
