My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 993

Chapter 993 Mdm. Willis sat silently in her armchair.

Kendry did not tell her about the incident four years ago in detail, but she knew that Ruth survived because of their foster daughter.

It would be unreasonable to force her to sacrifice herself for the Willis family now.

She just quietly hoped that the foster daughter would take the initiative to agree.

Ruth tried to speak up several times, but Kendry held her back. She was so worked up that her face turned red.

Jada clasped her fingers and appeared anxious, but she did not say anything.

Adina chuckled in a low voice.

Even her foster mother who loved her the most could push her away when it was necessary. In that case, she could leave the Willis family without worry after she repaid their kindness.

"Are we letting a woman save the great Willis family?" Hudson, who was always unserious, said.

He snorted. "There are still three men in the Willis family. No matter how oppressed we are, we shouldn't let

an adopted daughter stand up for us." "What nonsense are you talking about?" Hailey said angrily. "Your father's been taken to the police station because of this adopted daughter, and he could be abused. Why are you still defending her?"

As she spoke, she pinched Hudson's ear hard.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Hudson covered his ear and groaned.

"I think Hudson's right!" Ruth took the opportunity to say, "This is a Willis family affair. It's not Adeena's turn to step forth! Doesn't Mr. Winter just want a secretary? I'll be his secretary!"

Jada was shocked, and she quickly dragged her daughter back. "Do you know what being his secretary means? How could you even think about getting involved with such a thing?" "Mom! I want to be Mr. Winters' secretary. It's not a bad thing. Why do all of you look like you're facing a great enemy?" Ruth pouted.

"We'll handle this. Go back to your room now. If you continue to interfere with this..."

When Adeena heard how Jada gently coaxed Ruth, she pursed her lips slightly.

There truly was a difference between a foster mother and a biological mother.

No matter how great Jada had treated her, she could see the difference when it came to such matters.

Nevertheless, she still did not understand why Jada had treated her so well over the past three years. It did not remind her of how a mother would treat her daughter. Instead, it felt more like she was paying back a debt.

"It doesn't matter whether the Willis family has been targeted because of me or not. I still have a responsibility to solve this problem for the Willis family." Adeena smiled faintly. "Please have a good night. I'll go and meet Mr. Winters tomorrow."

After she spoke, she turned around and went back to her room.

"That's more like it," Hailey said coldly. "I hope Mr. Winters will keep his promise!".

"Mom, you're so unethical!" Hudson massaged his ear and said, "Deena's such a gorgeous girl. Her life will be ruined if she's sent to be an old man's secretary."

"Mr. Winters isn't an old man. He's so good-looking that he's a hundred times more handsome than you!" Ruth snorted from the side.

"Haha! I'm one of the four most handsome men in Cloud City. I'm outstanding, elegant, and talented. Who could be more handsome than me? Hang on..." A light flashed in Hudson's eyes. "Ruth, you're willing to take the

initiative to be Mr. Winters' secretary because you want to approach him, don't you? I was wondering why you would step up when the Willis family was in need. Looks like I didn't have to think too much about it!"

Just as the two of them were about to quarrel again, Mdm. Willis sternly said, "Enough. Go back to your

room!"

Adeena sat in her room, took out her phone, and simply scrolled through the news.

Duke's arrival in Cloud City for investment had already become local news, but the press never took any pictures

at all. They still used Duke's old photos from when he attended the press conference in Sea City.

The man was dressed in a black suit with a gray tie. His gaze was cold and sharp. His imposing manner in the pictures was no less than it was in real life.

Adeena keyed in the name "Duke Winters" in the search column, and his information came up very quickly.

The CEO of Winters Corporation was thirty years old this year. When he was eighteen, he officially became the person in charge of the corporation. Under his leadership, Winters Corporation reached new heights, which gained the admiration of many people.
