The netizens were extremely excited, while the press conference was quiet.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for what Duke was going to say.
The man glanced around the site with his sharp gaze, and his aura seemed to form an invisible net over everyone there.
âThe engagement is a rumor, and the so-called engagement invitation is also fake.â
Dukeâs words gave countless rich ladies in Sea City renewed hope. Before they could feel more joy, they heard something that broke their hearts even further.
âAdina Daugherty and I are not getting engaged. Weâre getting married.â
Buzz!
The quiet lobby erupted into chaos like bubbling boiled water.
The reporters thought they had misheard him, so they extended their microphones.
âMr. Winters, do you mean Ms. Adina Daugherty and you are getting married?â
âMr. Winters, is this Adina Daugherty the first daughter of the Daugherty family, also known as the most beautiful woman in Sea cityâ
âMr. Winters, will your wedding be on the sixth of next month.â
Duke raised his arm and brought it down, silencing the noisy crowd.
He indifferently said, âAdina and I have been married for five years. Weâre just holding a make-up wedding on the sixth of next month.â
âWhat?â
âHow is that possible?â
âI must have heard it wrongly!â
The things he said were akin to throwing a bomb that made everyone delirious and shocked.
Even the netizens who kept refreshing the page were aghast.
(What the f*ck?! There are no subtitles. I must have heard him wrongly!!
(Dukeâs pronunciation was so clear, and he said it twice. Nothingâs wrong. He and Adina are really getting married! Wait, no. They got married five years ago!)
(What the f*ck! Please forgive me. I donât know what language I can use to express my shock!]
(But didnât Adina sleep with a stranger five years ago and have two illegitimate kids? I heard that theyâre Tysonâs kids.]
(That rumor has been clarified for a long time, okay?]
(This still doesnât feel right. The timeline isnât lining upâ¦
After people at the press conference quietened down slightly, Duke held his microphone and resumed.
âIâm not a public figure, so I donât have to publicize my private affairs. But recent public opinions have been insulting toward my wife, so I have to step up and give an explanation. Let me make this clear again. Adina and I have been married for five years. Over the past five years, she has lived abroad with our kids. If any media or netizens create any malicious speculation and misinformation about my wife and my children, youâll be going against Winters Corporation. When that happens, the corporation and I will hold you legally responsible.â
âWhat?!â
âWhat the heck?!â
âIâm confused!â
The reporters on the site held up their microphones, and all of them were beyond shocked. The questions that they had prepared were useless right now.
They had many other questions that they wanted to ask, but they dared not move when they saw Dukeâs cold and fierce gaze.
The netizens, on the other hand, became agitated.
(The kids⦠Are the two kids⦠Dukeâs?]
(I called them illegitimate children. Will Winters Corporation come and cause me trouble?)
