It had been three days since the CEO of Winters Corporation came to Cloud City.He never left the hotel over the past two days, and the reporters at the entrance had finally lost their patience, so the crowd was almost gone.When Adeena and Ruth walked into the hotel, Jake hurried up to them. “Ms. Willis, I thought wouldn’t come.”“Of course I’d come,” Adeena said indifferently. “Mr. Wilson, you can contact the police and get them to release my uncle now.”Jake grinned and said, “Sure, Ms. Willis. I’ll get it done now.”As long as Ms. Willis came, everything was fine.He pressed the floor number on the elevator and respectfully led the two of them upstairs.Ruth felt very conflicted on the way.Her father had been respectful toward this assistant yesterday, but this assistant was flattering Adeena today.Did Adeena and Mr. Winters really… yesterday?No way!She could not think any further!Mr. Winters was the man she desired!Ruth reapplied her lipstick and foundation in t
Unexpectedly… Duke pursed his lips and softly said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Willis. Can you please step out? I’ll ask Jake to bring you out for breakfast.”His voice also sounded much softer.Ruth once more thought that it was right for her to come over.She would be elated if this man with a powerful aura could keep talking to her so gently.While she was immersed in her imagination, she saw Duke turn around and look at Adeena who was a step behind her. His voice was extremely soft. “Do you consider it polite if I speak like this?”Ruth froze.She had searched for a lot of information on this man last night. No matter what environment he was in, he never showed such a side.Now, he was as smooth as water, and his voice was as soft as a marshmallow.It looked like he was waiting for Adeena to compliment him.Ruth had goosebumps.Why did she feel like a third wheel?“Ms. Ruth Willis, please come this way.” Jake gestured.Ruth was shocked, scared, and reluctant, but she went out wi
After Adeena finished her breakfast, she returned to the Willis family with Ruth.On the way, Ruth kept muttering, “I didn’t expect Mr. Winters to actually be interested in you. Don’t I just look slightly less attractive than you? Why didn’t he even look at me?”Adeena glanced at her indifferently. “If this is really love at first sight for you, I’ll arrange a few meetings with him for you.”She had lived with Ruth for three years, so she knew that her sister was stupid and witless.Ruth was slightly unpleasant, but she was not terribly wicked.If Ruth truly liked Duke, Adeena was willing to create some opportunities for them. Obviously, it was mainly because she wanted to get out of the situation.“Forget it.” Ruth pouted. “I don’t want a man who’s divorced and has kids!”The man was basically too cold. If she got together with him, she was afraid that she would be frozen to death.While she was materialistic, she did not want to live the rest of her life in grievance!The tw
Kendry and his family went back inside. Adeena then started to pack her clothes after she returned to her room.Jada pushed the door open and went inside. She sighed. “Deena, aren’t you willing to stay at home for the next half a month?”“I still have things to do in my company, so I’d like to move to the office.”Adeena packed her stuff as she answered. She did not even raise her head.Since the Willis family’s big trouble had been solved, she did not have to fear moving out.Jada had set her up once, so it was impossible for her to stay and experience it again.“I won’t keep you then, Deena.” Jada chuckled in resignation. “Before you leave, I’d like to give you a few things.”She went back to her room and took out a wooden box.Adeena recognized that the white jade earrings that had been given to her had also been kept in the same box.“This is a bracelet, and this is a necklace. Keep them.” Jada gave her the box. “These are valuable pieces of jewelry. You need to keep them
Jada’s expression instantly darkened.When something happened to the Willis family yesterday, she lowered her dignity before the Finnian family, but Mrs. Finnian simply asked a servant to send her off. She was not even allowed to walk in.”Their trouble had only lasted for two days, yet she was able to see many people’s true faces.“Just tell them that I’m not free,” Jada said in dissatisfaction.“Mom, let them in.” Ruth smiled coldly and said, “The Finnian family didn’t care about us yesterday. Let’s humiliate them today.”The maid looked at Jada. When Mrs. Willis did not reject the idea, the maid went out to receive the guests.Mrs. Finnian was dressed in a dull-colored dress, and it had a much fainter feel of luxury. She ordered Jack, “When you see Ruth later, you have to please her more. The Willis family is different from it was a few days ago.”Who would have thought that the Willis family, which had nearly fallen apart yesterday, would salvage their situation overnight?
Mrs. Finnian dragged Jack outside, and he did not forget to look at Adeena who quietly sat without saying anything.This woman had given birth, but it did not affect her beauty and imposing manner. If he could be with a woman like this… “What are you still looking at?” Mrs. Finnian asked angrily. “The Willis family is now a big family, and they despise us! Besides, I heard that the Willis family is connected to Winters Corporation only because they sold their foster daughter out. This is so hilarious.”The Finnians walked out of the Willis family’s mansion, but what they said was still lingering in the living room.”Adeena did not show too many expressions. She stood up, pulled her suitcase, and said, “Mom, I’m leaving now.”Without turning back, she walked to the courtyard, put her suitcase into the trunk, and drove to leave.This car was not related to the Willis family. It was bought after Adeena successfully established her company.Seeing that the car disappeared from the
Adeena slammed the car door shut before she speedily walked toward the girl.When the girl heard the sound, she turned around. Her big, black eyes shone brightly, reflecting Adeena’s figure.“Miss, do you know how to get to Golden Sun Orphanage?”The girl’s voice was soft. It was sweet yet not greasy, like the sweetest milk candy that was dipped in chocolate sauce for a while.Adeena’s heart instantly melted. She squatted down and tenderly said, “Of course, I know. Let me bring you to Golden Sun Orphanage, okay?”The little girl nodded decently. “Thank you, Miss!”Adeena’s heart melted. She could not help but lift the girl and carefully put her into the passenger seat at the back. It was only after she carefully buckled the seatbelt for the little girl that she softly asked, “Girl, why did you leave the orphanage alone?”“Cherry said she wants to eat marshmallows. She gave me $2 and asked me to buy some marshmallows back.” The little girl blinked and said, “Miss, can we buy some
Adeena suppressed her gloominess before she grinned and said, “When I send you back, I’ll have to bring some presents for the other kids too. These are the presents.”Indeed, many people, young and old, frequently sent gifts to the orphanage, so Grapie nodded. “Thank you, Miss!”With that, Adeena drove her all the way to the orphanage.It was a medium-sized orphanage in Cloud City. There were two old, used houses that were painted in yellow and blue. Many kids were playing in the courtyard.“Mama Sherry, I’m back!”When Grapie pushed open the car door, she instantly rushed out into a forty-year-old woman’s arms.“Grapie, you’re so disobedient. Where did you go alone? Do you know that everyone’s been worried sick?” The director purposely darkened her expression and scolded her. “If this happens again, you know your punishment!”Grapie stuck her tongue out. Then, she turned around and looked at a four-year-old girl who was standing behind the director. “Cherry, I bought you some m
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,
