(âThereâs nothing to discuss.â Adinaâs expression turned hostile, and her voice was indifferent.
âAddy, if the kids are really members of the Osborne family, we really need to discuss this.â Mdm.
Daugherty sighed and said, âYou gave birth to the kids alone, and youâve worked so hard to raise them.
You canât just raise the kids for the Osborne family for nothing, right?â
âI said the kids are mine, and theyâre not related to anyone else. Iâm not raising the kids for anyone!â
Adinaâs voice was harsh, and she was also slightly impatient as she faced Mdm. Daugherty.
âAddy, Mr. Osborne says that heâll find a way to divorce his current wife, and heâll bring you and the kids back to the family in Central City. Then, youâll be the wife of the chairman of Osborne Corporation. How impressive will that be?! Is there anything bad about that?â Ruby acted like a caring mother as she advised Adina. âThe Osborne family is great. They have power in Central City, and Mr. Osborne likes you very much. When you marry him, not only will you be loved by your husband, but youâll also be accompanied by two kids. Who else in Central City will dare to look down on you?â Aaron scoffed and said, âAfter you join the Osborne family, you can also develop Daugherty Corporationâs market in Central City. This stone kills several birds. You better listen to us.â
Adina chuckled out of anger.
Was tonightâs dinner a trap to force her into marrying Tyson?
She pushed her chair away, stood up, and firmly said, âIf the Daugherty family wants to get involved in Central Cityâs circle, you can send Dew over. I believe that Tyson Osborne wonât turn her down.
Anyway, he just wants a lover whom he can keep outside. He can find anyone.â
As soon as she said that, Rubyâs expression changed.
However, Adina was not interested in watching the change in their expressions. She turned around and left in her high heels. âSuch a rebellious daughter!â
Aaron instantly slammed the table, and his face was full of anger. âSigh, Addy is really letting us down.â
Ruby sighed and looked at Mdm. Daugherty. âMom, when youâre free, please advise Addy. This is a great thing. Why is this girl turning it away? Does she really want to live the rest of her life on her own with the kids?â
âAlright, stop talking!â Mdm. Daugherty frowned and said, âI just didnât want Addy to raise the kids alone and tire herself, so I asked her to come home. What nonsense did you two just say? Tyson Osborne has a wife and a child. No matter what, it would be impossible for Addy to marry into the Osborne family. Donât you ever poke your noses in this matter again!â
Mdm. Daugherty got up and returned to her room with the help of her walking stick. Ruby felt wronged as she said, âDear, I was just suggesting it for Addyâs sake. Why donât they appreciate my sincerity?â
Aaron tapped on the table and pondered for a while before he said, âOsborne Corporation is developing like clockwork. This time, theyâve come to invest in Sea City, and countless big companies are seeking a connection with them. Daugherty Corporation canât miss this opportunity.â
âBut look at Addyâs temper. Itâd be good enough if she doesnât offend them. Would she still let the Daugherty family have a chance to befriend Tyson?â Ruby said coldly. âUnless, we bring the kids to Tyson. Maybe then, heâll collaborate with us.â
Aaron nodded. âIâm thinking of the same thing too. But that girl protects her kids too well. We might not have the opportunity to see the kids alone.â Rubyâs gaze was dark and profound. She repeatedly thought about what she should do about this.
As soon as she went back to her room, her phone vibrated. She cast a glance at the incoming call, and her astute demeanor instantly disappeared. She grinned and said, âDew, you should be very busy.
Where did you find the time to call me?â âMom, didnât you call Adina back for dinner tonight? How did it go?â âSigh, that little b*stard didnât even listen to your grandma. Besides, she refused to bring the kids back to the Daugherty family home. We couldnât find a chance.â Ruby sighed and said, â Letâs see how Tysonâs preparation is.â
