âMr. Winters wants me to be his secretary.â
Adeena pursed her lips.
She knew the meaning behind the request, so she believed that Kendry would too.
She wanted to know what the Willis family thought about Kendry paused for a while.
The moment he saw his foster daughterâs gaze, he understood her intention of telling him everything.
She was trying to see if the Willis family was worthy of her sacrifice.
âDeena, youâre our foster daughter. Youâre also Ms. Willis like Ruth. Pushing our daughters out for honor is something the Willis family wonât do.â Kendry sighed.â Weâll go back and discuss this with your grandma. There has to be another solution.â
âIâll do it!â Ruth suddenly said. âI can be Mr. Wintersâ secretary.â
âStop talking nonsense!â Kendry said coldly.
âIâm serious!â Ruth anxiously replied. âDeenaâs adopted, so we naturally canât let her make such a huge sacrifice.
But Iâm a member of the Willis family. As long as I can help my family, Iâm willing to even sacrifice my life.â Adeena and Kendry were speechless. Kendry had watched his daughter grow up, so he knew what was on her mind.
She must have fallen for Mr. Wintersâ good looks. âWeâll go back and discuss this with Grandma first.â
Adeena knew what Ruth was thinking too. She pursed her lips indifferently and walked out first.
Kendry grabbed his daughterâs arm. âRuth, listen. Do not get involved. This is none of your business!â
âWhy is it none of my business? Iâm your daughter. Iâm obligated to do something for the family!â Ruth said righteously. âBesides, Dad, arenât you always telling me that the Willis family owes Adeena? If thatâs the case, just let me replace her this time to repay her kindness.â Kendry was furious thanks to his daughter. âYou mustnât say that to Adeena.â
Adeena had always thought that she owed the Willis family for saving her life.
In reality, the Willis family had used Adeenaâs blood to save Ruth. They even caused the death of Adeenaâs baby. It was likely that only Adeena could solve the Willis familyâs crisis this time.
âDad, donât stop me!â Ruth quickly caught up to Adeena. âDeena, hurry up and tell me what you discussed with Mr. Winters.â
Adeena got into the back passenger seat, while Ruth quickly hopped into the car as well. She kept hounding Adeena with questions.
âAfter he drugged you, did he do anything over the top?â Adeena faked a smile. âYou seem to be very concerned about Mr. Winters and me.â
âDeena, he must have had bad intentions when he asked you to be his secretary.â There was a glint in Ruthâs eyes. âYouâre so pretty, so itâs devastating for you to be with a divorced man with kids. But Iâm different. Iâm a member of the Willis family, so itâs nothing for me to sacrifice for my familyâs sake. Let me be Mr. Wintersâ secretary for you.â
Adeena was at a loss for words.
