“He’s Flint Morton. He’s a friend I met overseas. He came to Sea City yesterday, and he didn’t have a place to stay, so I let him stay the night,” she nonchalantly said with a straight face. When Ethan saw her honest expression, he sighed in relief. “He said that he was the master of this house.” “No, I didn’t say that!” Flint cowered and explained in a weak voice, “Mr. Xavier, you misheard me… What I meant was that it’s inappropriate for a guest like me to be dressed like this. I-I’ll go and get changed…” He ran away dejectedly. “Addy, you’re a single mother. It’s not appropriate to have a man stay overnight in your house. If he doesn’t have a place to stay, you can ask him to stay a night with the Xavier family,” Ethan said sincerely. Adina nodded obediently and said, “Ethan, don’t worry about me. I’ll go to the Xavier Corporation after I send the kids to preschool.” Flint stuck his head out and shouted, “Addy, you can go to work. I’ll send Alden and Mel to their preschoo

No wonder she could make his mother so fearful. Perhaps it was due to their biological relationship, but he could not hate this woman.However, once he remembered that the purpose of this woman's return was to mess the Daugherty family up, he could only suppress his good impression of her. His mom had given him life, so he had to protect her. When Adina stood on the stage, she could feel a constant sharp gaze on her. When she looked around, she could only see the crowd. Just as she was about to carefully pinpoint the source, a microphone was pointed at her. “Ms. Daugherty, we would like to know how your relationship with the Daugherty family is. Can you please share with us?” The previous incident had caused such a big fuss, and it was not officially over, so the crowd had been curious for a long time. Adina looked away before she calmly answered, “I’m a daughter of the Daugherty family, and that will never change. The family has transferred 25% of their shares to me, so

The muscular men's leader flashed her a despicable smile and questioned her first.“Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”Adina remained calm as she continued to move backward.The muscular men slowly walked toward her. “Ms. Daugherty, we heard that you’re the most beautiful woman in Sea City. We purposely came to see what makes you the most beautiful woman.”One of the muscular men suddenly raised his arm and grabbed Adina’s wrist.She was prepared. She threw the glass to the floor and used a sharp shard to scratch his wrist.“How dare you, b*tch!” The muscular man was angry, and he quickly rushed over.Adina grabbed his arm and slammed him over her shoulders.The man was so heavy. He should have weighed more than 400 pounds. She only managed to slam the man on the ground after she used almost all of her strength.“This b*tch knows martial arts!”The remaining three muscular men looked at each other and secretly broke into cold smirks. Luckily, they were prepared.As th

Over in the Daugherty Family, Dew threw a bunch of things onto the floor in a fit.“You’re all trash!”Her chest heaved with anger, and she wanted to smash everything in the room.Why did she keep failing again and again?Was she not just a woman? Was it so hard to kill a woman?“Stop, Dew. Don’t get angry.” Ruby walked over and patted her back. “There were security guards in Xavier Corporation’s building, so it was hard to do anything. Don’t blame them. We should think about how we can stop the four men from talking so that they won’t expose the Daugherty family.”Dew scoffed. “If they want their family line to end with their generation, they can expose the Daugherty family!”When she hired these men, she had their children controlled, so these men would not dare to say anything.“That b*tch, Adina, is really strong. I have to take some extreme measures. I’m really worried that she’ll find out about the two kids one day. If that happens, I’ll be completely doomed,” she said wi

“Mom, I don’t want your hands to be stained with blood. That’s why I said what I said.” George pursed his lips. “I’m sorry. I was rude. Please don’t mind me.”Dew sighed in relief.She was so afraid that George would chase her out.Luckily, this little b*stard was not that bold.She calmed down before she casually said, “Don’t worry. I won’t try to kill Adina again.”She had sent her people to deal with Adina today, but George found out. That meant somebody in the Winters family was keeping an eye on her.She could not give orders for things that would affect her image.Otherwise, George’s attitude toward her would worsen.“Why are you here again?”Harold was walking down from the second floor. When he saw Dew, his face was full of dissatisfaction.Dew’s emotions, which had finally calmed, were triggered again.However, she realized that she had lost composure once, so she could not forget herself again.She forced a faint smile and said, “Harold, I heard from Mr. Brown tha
