“Mom, when the banquet ends, I’ll get Brady to send you back to the mansion.” Mrs. Willis then said, “Mom, you can go inside and rest first. I’ll ask them to make you some tea in the Esilian teapot and deliver it here.”Adeena frowned in the room and twirled her glass of red wine.That person had intentionally lured Mdm. Willis over to stumble upon her “adulterous affair” with Hudson. That person either wanted to ruin her reputation or force Hudson to marry her.Who was responsible for this set-up?Click!Just then, someone gently pushed the room door open.“Hey, Adeena. What are you here?” Mrs. Willis asked in surprise. “Are you here alone?”Adeena looked up and chuckled. “Otherwise, who else could there be?”“I’m just curious why you’re here alone.” Mrs. Willis stared at her for a while. “There are so many guests in the front yard. Why are you here?”Adeena stood up and picked a glass of wine. “I found a bottle of good wine in this room. It tastes pretty good. Would you like

The police officers suddenly broke in and restricted Clarence’s hands with cuffs, shocking everyone.Clarence was the head of the Willis family, so he held a high status in Cloud City. Mr. Thompson politely said, “Mr. Willis, we just want to invite you for a cup of tea and have you cooperate with our investigation. Once we’re done, we’ll let you go, of course.”“Mr. Thompson, we can talk nicely.” Mdm. Willis quickly walked over. “If there’s anything you’d like to investigate, the Willis family will try its best to cooperate. You don’t have to take him back to the police station for a chat, do you?”Going to the police station would ruin his reputation.If the reputation of the Willis family head was ruined, the Willis family’s status in Cloud City would also become lower.Mr. Thompson lowered his voice. “Mdm. Willis, I’d like to do you a favor as well, but… the one who’s suffered a loss is a bigwig from Sea City. My superior told me that I have to investigate this incident thoroug

“Shut up!” Ruth glared at him. “You’re the biggest troublemaker in the family, yet you dare to criticize me?”“Enough!” Mdm. Willis said unhappily. “Is this the time for you to argue? Keep your mouths shut and go back to rest!”Everyone stayed at the Willis family’s mansion that night.Early the next morning, Kendry took Adeena and Ruth to the hotel.Many reporters surrounded Imperial Five Star Hotel’s entrance. All of them held cameras and microphones as they waited desperately.Aside from the reporters, the heads of some big families in Cloud City were also waiting there.Adeena immediately saw the Finnian family, the Lamb family, and the Strickland family. They were all investors in the project.However, when something went wrong with the project, the Willis family had to bear full responsibility.When the former collaboration partners met at the hotel’s entrance, they did not even look at each other.“When will Mr. Winters come out?” the reporters who had waited all night

Duke started walking and slowly moved closer to Adeena.He only stopped walking when he was one step away from her. Then, he bent down slightly and took a gentle whiff. “Ms. Willis, what perfume are you wearing?”Adeena frowned and quickly took a step back.She noticed that Mr. Winters was weirdly gazing at her.She found him familiar, but that did not mean he could be so frivolous with her.She was wearing high heels, and one of them suddenly tilted. In the next second, she felt the man’s strong arm around her waist.Just as she was about to move out of his arms and walk away, Duke raised his hand and snapped his fingers.The snap buzzed in her ears, and her mind suddenly went blank. Caught off guard, she soon fainted.“Addy.“I’ve finally found you.”Duke held her limp body in his arms. He buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath.This was his Addy.Her scent was exactly the same as it was four years ago.He breathed in her scent lightly and gave her a deep k

Duke knew that he should not have been such a jerk, but his inner voice told him that she was his wife. No matter what he did, it would never be too much.Therefore, he kissed her again when she was unconscious.However, the kiss lit up a fire in him, and he could no longer hold back. He wanted more and more.“I’m sorry.”Duke took off his coat and threw it over.Adeena kicked the coat to the floor before she reached up to button her collar. She flashed him a cold sneer. “I really didn’t expect you to be such a person, Mr. Winters!”Duke’s aura immediately weakened. “I was too rude. I’m sorry.”His willingness to admit his mistakes kept Adeena’s anger in her chest, and she did not manage to vent it out.“Is this something that can merely be solved with an apology?” Adeena angrily asked in return.There was a strange sensation on her lips. Even if she did not look in the mirror, she could guess that this man must have kissed her when she was unconscious.Unconscious!Adeena’s
