Chapter 1011 âI heard Mr. Winters calling her Ms. Willis. Since when was there a Willis family in Sea City?â
âThere is one, but theyâre not a big family.â
âA womanâs beauty is really her greatest weapon. Even Mr. Winters has fallen victim to it.â
âSpeaking of him, do you remember the divorce scandal that went viral four years ago? No one has heard anything from the couple anymore.â
âI think theyâve divorced for real. Or else, why hasnât Mdm. Winters made an appearance in public for four years?â
âYou got a point. Mdm. Winters, the most beautiful woman in Sea City, appeared on the news headlines almost every month ever since she came back. Then, she disappeared for four years. It just isnât her style. Perhaps she couldnât fit in after her divorce, so she went to settle abroad.â
âHey, did you guys realize that Ms. Willis looks kind of similar to Mdm. Winters?â
âYouâre rightâ¦â
The ladies at the entrance of the banquet chatted, and behind them stood three children.
Harold clenched his fists. âFor the past four years, Daddy hasnât been with any woman. Ms. Willis must be Mommy!â
âIâve looked into it. We do indeed have a powerful family called the Willis in Cloud City.â Alden said softly.
âThe ladies just now said that Ms. Willis looks similar to Mommy. I think thereâs no doubting it. Itâs her.â
Harold pursed his lips. âBut if sheâs Mommy, why did Daddy hide it from us?â
âMelody said Mommy lost her memories.â Alden said,â Letâs sit in a corner and observe it carefully once we enter the banquet. We shouldnât act rashly. We might ruin Daddyâs plan.â Harold nodded. âOkay, Iâll remain calm.â The three of them lowered their caps and joined the crowd.
As soon as Adeena entered the banquet, the staff who had been in charge of receiving her greeted her.
âMs. Willis, you look much younger and more beautiful than when you are onâscreen.â
They had been speaking to each other through video calls, but this was the first time the two had met physically.
Adeena reached out to shake his hand. âMr. Benkeran, itâs an honor to meet you.â
Harris Benkeran was about to shake her hand when he suddenly felt someone watching him from behind, and it gave him chills.
When he looked up, Duke, who was near them, stared at him with his sharp gaze.
Harris hurriedly pulled back his hand and tried to ignore the hostile gaze. âMs. Willis, letâs head to the lounge and chat, shall we?â Just as Adeena was about to nod, Duke approached them. He was 1.86 meters tall. As soon as he came over, the chandelier was directly above his head, casting a shadow over them.
He spoke casually, âMr. Benkeran, why donât you let me talk to Ms. Willis for a moment?â
Harris was dumbfounded.
He was just a staff member. So, he did not recognize Duke.
Even so, he was no fool. From Dukeâs gaze, he had a feeling that Duke was quite possessive of Adeena.
Dukeâs gaze was terrifying, and he could not handle the pressure of his gaze. âAlright. Ms. Willis, weâll talk later.â Harris gulped and turned to welcome the other guests. Adeena pursed her lips. She redirected her gaze to Duke and asked calmly, âMay I know what you wanted to talk about, Mr. Winters?â
âMs. Willis, letâs head to the lounge.â
Duke took the lead and strode toward the lounge. Adeena frowned. Countless people in the banquet hall were watching Duke. Many men had their eyes on Adeena.
âIf I were to stay in the lounge for a long time with him, rumors would arise.
âIâll be his secretary soon. If such rumors run rampant, my life in Sea City will be very tough.â
