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
Dew took Harold’s things and went directly to the Winters’ house.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw George walking out with a cold expression.“George.”Dew went forward quickly.“Mom,” George greeted her politely. “Harold's in the bedroom. You better not go up to the second floor.”Wherever Harold was present, Dew would try not to go there.Since that young master never respected her, she would never make a fool of herself.Dew handed the things to Mr. Brown, the housekeeper, before she softly said, “George, I need your help with something.”George pursed his lips. “Please speak.”“George, I know that your father has given you plenty of manpower. Can you ask your subordinates to help me check on Adina…” Dew sighed and looked sad. "Adina's the third largest shareholder of Daugherty Corporation now. Her every word and action will affect the company’s share price… But I saw a little girl calling her mom this morning… She isn't married yet, so how can she have a child?"
