When Adina walked out to the entrance, she saw a black car parked at the exit, keeping a low profile.She smiled faintly and walked over. Before she reached the car, Duke got out of the driver’s seat and helped her open the passenger side door.The man bent down and carefully fastened her seat belt for her before he said in a deep voice, “Why did you drink wine?”“I just took a few sips,” Adina said casually. “When did you get here?”Duke returned to the driver seat, held the steering wheel, and said, “I just arrived.”He drove the car slowly on the road, and his low, deep voice rang out in the car. ‘I should’ve attended the reunion banquet with you today.”Adina was stunned but immediately understood it.She guessed that the incident at the banquet tonight had ended up on the news. Sophia had mocked her, the reporters had hounded her, and people at the banquet had criticized her. The netizens were probably discussing all those incidents.Duke must have specifically browsed thr

Aunt Mandy was so angry that she was breathing heavily.Mabel put down her teacup. “Forget you, even I, as the mother-in-law, never interfere with Addy’s personal matters.”“You’re her mother-in-law, and she’s your daughter-in-law. How can she be so arrogant to the elderly?” Aunt Mandy lowered her voice and angrily said, “When Duke wasn’t married, I showed you my niece. She’s such an obedient girl. If she married Duke, she would be great at taking care of her husband and serving her mother-in-law. She would not disrespect her mother-in-law like Adina.”Mabel seemed indifferent, but her thoughts were completely different from Mandy’s.She and Duke were in a tough situation. They were biological mother and son, but they had not been able to talk to each other at all for a week. But Addy, the middle person, never thought of mediating things. If it were Mandy’s niece, the situation would not have become so terrible.She knew that Addy had not done anything wrong, but she still hoped t

It was not until the warm winter sun shone in from the balcony that Adina and Duke woke up lazily.It was already 8:00 am. The two of them, who rarely woke up late, had gotten busy the entire night, so they slept in a little longer.Just as Adina was about to wake up, Duke wrapped his arms around her waist. “Addy, you should sleep a little longer. You were exhausted last night.”“Aren’t you more exhausted?” Adina said without looking shy. “I still have to head to the company and work today. Don’t pester me.”After she said that, she quickly jumped off the bed.If they continued to lie in bed for a little longer, the man would definitely take advantage of her again.When Duke saw her running into the bathroom, he subconsciously chuckled.He lifted the blanket and got up. When he looked at the withered leaves and warm winter sun outside the window, his eyes were full of warmth.Once he finished his work this quarter, he would take Addy to the south for winter break.After Adina

After finishing their work in the morning, Adina, Serene, and a few colleagues went downstairs for lunch.Just as Adina walked through the restaurant’s door, she saw Sean and a young woman sitting near the restaurant’s window. The woman was wearing a gorgeous and seductive outfit.She leaned on Sean as she sat, and her chest was pressed against Sean’s arm. Meanwhile, the man was moving his hand over her waist and hips. If this had not been a public place, Adina would have thought that the two of them would give a live performance.“Let’s go somewhere else,” she said indifferently.Before she could turn around, Sean spotted her and immediately came forward. “Addy, please come over and sit. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”When Adina saw his smiling face, she felt extremely uncomfortable. “I’m not free,” she said coldly.“Addy, aren’t you having lunch anyway? Let’s eat together then.” Sean chuckled to make Adina stay. “I’d like to talk to you about something serious.”“

Sophia’s continuous cussing drove the woman out of the house.At night, after Sean’s driver returned home, Sophia finally learned the entire story, and she froze.“You mean, Adina cussed those b*stards out in public, and Sean drove that b*tch away out of embarrassment?”The driver was used to Sophia calling Sean and the woman “b*stards.” He nodded and said, “Mr. Sean wanted to discuss Jones Corporation with Ms. Daugherty, but she rejected him without hesitation. The reason she turned down his offer is due to his extramarital affairs with that woman.”Sophia looked conflicted after she heard his words.Before this, she hated Adina deep down to her marrow because Adina had slapped her. Sophia could not wait to return the favor with ten slaps.At that moment, she finally learned that Adina had sided with her and even spoken up for her.Whenever Sophia cussed Sean out, he would beat her up.However, Adina was different. She not only made Sean lose his dignity, but she also caused h
