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
Adeena brought a lot of snacks and toys that were loved by children, so the orphans jumped and ran around happily.She was supposed to leave after sending Grapie there.However, she suddenly felt reluctant when she saw the little girl’s clear eyes.Half an hour later, a married couple would come and adopt a girl. Grapie looked so cute, so she would probably be adopted.Adeena wanted to know which couple would become Grapie’s parents.“Ms. Adeena, can you stay with me a little longer?”Grapie tugged on Adeena’s sleeve and spoke pitifully.Adeena carried her. “Of course.”A four-year-old girl hid at a corner not far away; it was Cherry who had left angrily earlier.She used to be everyone’s favorite child in the orphanage, but after Grapie grew older, everyone only had eyes for Grapie.When visitors came to spread their love, they would give all the delicious and fun things to Grapie first.Whenever a married couple came to adopt a child, they would want to take Grapie home.
Grapie opened her eyes widely and tried her best to hold her tears back.Buzz!Adeena’s phone vibrated.After she answered the call, she regretfully came over and looked for the little girl. “I suddenly need to handle an emergency, so I’m going back now. Grapie, can you give me a goodbye kiss?”Grapie instantly held her neck. “Miss, I don’t want you to go.”Her favorite necklace was stolen by Cherry, but she held herself back without crying. But when she thought about Ms. Deena wanting to leave, her tears just streamed down her cheeks.“You’re a good girl. Don’t cry. I’ll still come and visit you again.”“But… but Cherry said I might be adopted today, and I can’t see you again.”“I’ll come and ask Mama Sherry where your new home is. I can still go and visit you.” Adeena smiled and said, “You’re so obedient and cute. If you keep crying, you’ll become ugly.”The little girl sniffed and held back her tears.Adeena touched her head, and she left while she kept looking back.Righ
“Ma’am, do you want to adopt me?” Grapie slowly asked as she opened her eyes wide.Adeline was stunned before she smiled gently and asked, “Are you willing to be adopted?”Grapie pointed at Cherry on the side. “Cherry’s more obedient and understanding than me. Can you adopt Cherry instead?”She knew that Cherry was desperate for a home and parents.She could give this opportunity to Cherry.“Grapie, what nonsense are you talking about?” The director purposely put on a stern look. “Adeline likes you, and it’s your lucky day. Why are you pushing your luck away?”Grapie lowered her head and anxiously clenched her fingers.“Hmph! All of you don’t like me!” Cherry shouted in anger before she turned around and ran away.Candon subconsciously thought that his wife was right. The girl whose name was Cherry was too cunning, and the ruthlessness in her eyes was too strong. A normal family like them could not afford to raise a child like that.“Grapie, I like you, and only you. I can’t g
“I’ll remember!”Adeline carried Grapie and placed her in the middle of their motorcycle. Grapie reluctantly looked at the orphanage that she had lived in for two years.Once she grew up and had the means, she would give every kid there a home.……Adeena parked her car in front of the company.When she went inside, her assistant came forward. “Ms. Willis, the CEO’s assistant from Winters Corporation is here.”Adeena nodded. Her assistant had called to tell her that Jake was visiting, so she had to leave the orphanage.She wondered if Grapie had been successfully adopted.She got rid of the thought for the time being. After she calmly walked into her office and put down her leather bag, she picked up a document and headed to the meeting room.Jake had initially been sitting leisurely and drinking coffee. When he heard the sounds of high heels approaching, he quickly stood up, lowered his head slightly, and respectfully said, “Ms. Willis.”His attitude did not make Adeena feel
