My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 825

Chapter 825 "Her face is really ruined. She isn't as beautiful as before."

"Even if the scars can be repaired with plastic surgeries, she won't have that natural face anymore. What a shame."

"I didn't expect Adina to be the illegitimate daughter of the Jones family too. This is breaking news."

"Most importantly, we didn't hear anything about it before the reunion banquet. I only realized that the Jones family was holding a reunion banquet after I arrived at the banquet hall." "Adina's current status is amazing. She's the only daughter of the Jones family, a relative of the Xavier family, and Mdm. Winters..."

"Mdm. Winters? I don't think so. No one from the Winters family came tonight. Clearly, Adina's falling out with them."

"It's true! We've been here so long, but I haven't seen a single member of the Winters family."

"They aren't divorced, are they?"

Adina did not even raise her brows as all kinds of whispers came from her surroundings.

When she decided to hold the reunion banquet, she already expected this situation, and she did not care. Dillon lowered his voice and asked, "Addy, why isn't anyone from the Winters family coming?" Adina smiled faintly and said, "Dad, don't worry. Duke and I are very close. I asked him not to come."

Dillon silently sighed.

He guessed that Addy made up such a white lie to make him feel at ease.

He would need to treat Addy much better and replace her a better man...

At this time...

About four reporters carrying cameras and microphones suddenly rushed over from the corner of the banquet hall.

"Ms. Daugherty, it's rumored that you and Mr. Winters are already divorced. Can you tell us what the real situation is?"

"Mr. Winters didn't show up for an important occasion like the Jones family's reunion banquet today. Does this mean there's a problem in your marriage?"

"Ms. Daugherty, you're still wearing a wedding ring. Does this mean that you're still holding on to this marriage?"

The questions from the reporters came one after another.

Adina cast a glance at the oceanic blue diamond ring on her finger, and she smiled faintly.

The ring had been properly placed in the cabinet previously, and she only put it on again after Duke returned.

That man's original wedding ring had long been lost, so she custom-made a new identical ring for him.

When she lowered her head and looked at the ring,

everyone could see the reluctance, nostalgia, regret, and gloom she felt. There had to be something wrong with their marriage for her to wear such an expression.

"Who allowed you to come in? Security guards, kick these reporters out!" Dillon yelled in anger, and about eight security guards instantly rushed in to bring the four reporters out.

He had enhanced the security measures in this banquet because he was afraid that reporters would rush in and ask some strange questions. Unexpectedly, something still went wrong. He looked at Adina apologetically. "I'm sorry, Addy. It's all because of my negligence."
