Lahat ng Kabanata ng Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children: Kabanata 571 - Kabanata 580

“Sorry, Addy. It all happened so suddenly that I didn’t have time to tell you.”Duke’s voice came from the other end of the line. There seemed to be shrieks of panic from a crowd and roaring fire from a collapsing beam.Adina felt even more worried, and she spoke in a serious, as well as stern manner, “You have to be careful. The cemetery can be rebuilt if it burns down, but if you…” She pursed her lips. “In short, be safe. The kids and I will be waiting for you.”“Okay, I’ll go home as soon as I can. Don’t worry.”After Adina hung up, her heart remained dejected. She felt burdened as if a disaster was coming.“Addy, are you done calling Duke? We have to go and make a toast now.” Mrs. Winters walked over and handed her a glass of champagne.Adina placed the phone in her pocket before she flashed Mrs. Winters a smile. “Okay, let’s go.”There were a few hundred tables of guests at the wedding banquet. Experts from different industries were seated at each table, and they were all

The sky was dark, and scattered moonlight fell on the balcony. The man’s figure was straight and slender.Adina pulled the blanket away before she gently got off the bed. She held a dagger that she had hidden in the drawer as she slowly walked toward the man on the balcony.Then, she pulled the balcony door open, lunged forward, and restricted the man’s arm with one hand. At the next second, she pointed the dagger at the man’s neck.The man was forced to turn around. When the moonlight shone on his face, his features looked clear and blurry at the same time.“Duke, why… why are you standing on the balcony?”Adina quickly released him and threw the dagger on the tea table on the balcony.She scrutinized the man under the faint moonlight.His illuminated features appeared profound and cold, while his gaze was intense. He just emanated an unwelcoming aura.It was just like when they first met.No, this man’s aura was even colder today than when they first met.Adina looked at

The morning passed by as Mrs. Winters rambled on.While Adina listened to Mrs. Winters’ rambling, the scenes from last night played out in her mind.For some reason, the odd feeling in her heart intensified.She pursed her lips before she smiled and said, “Mom, did Duke go to the office? I’d like to pay him a visit and have lunch with him.”“Aww! The two of you are still sweet newlyweds,” Mrs. Winters teased. “I was thinking of asking you to have lunch with me.”Adina appeared apologetic as she said, “I have something very important to discuss with him. I’ll have dinner with you tonight.”“Go ahead. Have a safe journey.”Mrs. Winters stood at the door while she watched Adina drive away. Worry slowly filled her eyes.Adina had a smooth journey and soon stopped in front of Winters Corporation.Duke and Adina had just gotten married yesterday, so everyone in the city knew that Ms. Daugherty was now the lady boss of Winters Corporation.As soon as she stepped into the lobby, the

When the girl started to cry, her three elder brothers panicked.George wiped the tears off her face. “Dad will be back in half a month. After that, you can be with him every day.”Alden stroked his sister’s hair. “You have Mommy and your brothers with you. It’s okay if Daddy isn’t here.”“Mel, have a lollipop!” Harold put a strawberry-flavored lollipop in her mouth. “How is it? Sweet?”Melody’s tears turned into laughter. “It’s so sweet!”Adina forced herself to smile.A child’s world was as simple as that. A lollipop could sweep away all the gloom.An adult’s world, on the other hand, was always complicated.Adina sat on the couch as she contemplated whether she should send Duke a message, asking him to call Melody after he arrived at his destination.The little girl would really get worked up if she could not see her dad for half a month.She searched her contact list and found Duke’s name. Just as she was about to send him a message, her fingers suddenly froze.How could

Her gaze was as sharp as two sharp knives, and Jasmine dared not look her in the eyes as a result.“Who’s the one being suppressed here?” Adina sneered. “You used Mr. Krisman to force your way into becoming a collaborator on this project. You’re making me complete the whole project, yet you still intend to take 40% of the profit. Do you think I’m an easy target? If I really wanted to suppress you, I would have kicked you out by now. Why would I give Jones Corporation 20% of the profit?”Jasmine was furious, but she was helpless.This was the stepping stone for her to become the heir of the Jones family. She had to get things done perfectly so that she could impress her grandpa.If this b*tch, Adina, did not exist, she would have completed her task successfully. She would not have to lower her status and come here to seek a collaboration.She gritted her teeth and said, “Adina, you purposely designed a chip framework that has never appeared before. You intentionally made it this wa
