Adina went back to the living room balcony. She took a look at Haroldâs painting. It was a painting of a withered lotus in winter, and it was already half-finished.
The brush strokes were still that of an amateur, but the artistic undertones were there.
Adina did not interrupt Haroldâs painting and quietly took a seat to the side.
The afternoon day flew by, and soon it was three oâclock in the afternoon.
Harold was about to complete his painting when the sound of a car engine was heard from the mansionâs entrance.
Dillon was so immersed in his fascination for Haroldâs painting skills that he did not pay any attention to the situation outside.

How could Daniel give up such an important thing for her sake? âLet me guess,â Adina said as she smiled, âThere is only a handful of news about me that are of value.Did she get evidence of my divorce? Or does she have a photograph of me with some man and believes Iâm having an affair? Or is she starting a rumor saying my quadruplets donât have the Wintersâ blood-â.
Fearing that Adina would say more outrageous things, Daniel finally admitted, âShe has a picture of you being really close with another man.â
âAnd for one picture, you would drop out from the succession contest?â Adina sneered.
âYour father has been trampled on by Zhenny for twenty years, and now itâs your turn.Why are you two so stupid?â Daniel became annoyed.
âYou can call me stupid, but leave my father out of it.â
âAlright.Youâre hopelessly stupid,â Adina said coldly.
â That man in the picture with me is Duke Winters, my husband, and the father of my children.If Jasmine publicizes that photograph, it will only help me clear the divorce rumors.You sacrificed so much for a groundless rumor.Is it worth it?â Their voices grew louder until Dillon finally heard them.
He promptly rushed to where they were.
âDaniel, what are you up to?â Dillon blurted out.
