“Yes, Sir.”Mr. Brown immediately answered.Master usually looked cold and indifferent, but he knew that no one loved the young masters more than him.People said a father’s love was as sturdy as mountains.Mr. Brown wanted to say that a father’s love was as deep as the ocean.It was as deep as the ocean, and it could also put up with anything like the sea.On the second floor, Harold sat on the balcony, and his eyes were filled with tears.He was starving, so he secretly took out a biscuit from his bag and took a few bites.But he accidentally choked on it, and his tears rolled down soundlessly.“I hate Dad the most…” Harold cried while he yelled.Dad was horrible! He was always so strict with him. He did not even allow him to leave the house, and he made him stay at home to learn those boring things… He wanted to sneak out. He wanted to see Auntie Adina. He wanted to touch Melody’s face… The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt.Suddenly, his phone rang.He

Since Ruby still wanted to play up the illusion of mother-daughter harmony, she was willing to cooperate.She was hugged by Ruby for a while before she pushed her away. She said with grief, “Mom, I also miss you very much. When I wandered outside and was homeless for the past four years, what I missed the most is your love and protection for me. Now I’m back. Will you still love and pamper me like in the past?”Pride could be seen in Ruby’s eyes.Adina the brat was indeed the same as four years ago. As long as she pretended to show some concern, this brat would jump into the trap she set up.Did this stupid brat still want to take revenge on the Daugherty family?Ha! No way!Ruby’s smile only widened. She held Adina’s hand and affectionately said, “Of course. I always love you like my own daughter. No matter what mistakes you make, I’ll still love and pamper you.”As she spoke, she held Adina’s hand and walked into the house.A few people were already sitting at the round dinin

Adina’s gaze became colder.Even while Ruby worked hard to maintain the pretense of a loving mother, her father just exposed his true self.She naturally knew it was impossible to get her shares of the Daugherty Corporation. No, based on the shamelessness of the Daugherty family, it was impossible for her to get back the shares if she did this.But she insisted on asking it at this time. It was also good to cause some trouble for these people.She bit her bottom lip, and she pitifully said, “Dad, I do not want to be the heir, but can you return the shares of Daugherty Corporation to me? That’s the heritage my mother left for me. I hope you can give it back to me.”Aaron’s expression became darker.Initially, he begrudgingly put up with this daughter, but it looked like there was no need to keep her.She humiliated the family five years ago, and she should have died in the fire.As soon as she came back, she just caused trouble. If she was still alive, she would only bring more

Dew immediately denied it.She ruthlessly glared at Adina, and she hoped this bi*ch would sensibly leave earlier!However, she was destined to feel disappointed.Adina chuckled.Now she knew that the Daugherty family had climbed on the Winters family, but Duke did not seem to like Dew.But she did not know why Duke still wanted to stay here and deal with the Daugherty family members when he clearly did not like Dew.But all this was none of her business.She just needed to know that the Daugherty family wanted to maintain their dignity in front of Duke.She smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Winters, we were discussing the shares of the Daugherty Corporation. You can also be our witness.”Duke seemed to be interested. “Oh, what kind of witness?”“Addy!” Ruby angrily interrupted Adina. “This is the family matter of the Daugherty family. You shouldn’t let anyone else know about it.”But Old Mrs. Daugherty suddenly said, “Duke is also like our family. It’s nothing for him to know.”

Old Mrs. Daugherty no longer had the strength to support herself. She got to her feet with the help of the housekeeper.Adina also got up. She held Old Mrs. Daugherty’s right hand. “Grandma, I’ll help you in.”Old Mrs. Daugherty nodded. Then, the two of them went into the resting lounge.The atmosphere dining hall was still chirpy.This was the first time Duke visited the Daugherty family, so all the family members thought that the marriage between the family and the Winters family was a done deal.“Duke, they have recently released a new movie. You should go and watch it with Dew in the afternoon,” Ruby grinned and said, “After the movie, you can go shopping for a while before you have a candlelight dinner. How romantic that would be!”Dew shyly lowered her head. She wanted it, but she still said, “Duke should be very busy in the afternoon. How would we have the time for a movie?”“Well, no matter how busy you are, you still have to take some time to cultivate the relationship
