Chapter 997 After Adeena finished her breakfast, she returned to the Willis family with Ruth.
On the way, Ruth kept muttering, âI didnât expect Mr. Winters to actually be interested in you. Donât I just look slightly less attractive than you? Why didnât he even look at me?â
f Adeena glanced at her indifferently. âIf this is really love at first sight for you, Iâll arrange a few meetings with him for you.â
She had lived with Ruth for three years, so she knew that her sister was stupid and witless.
Ruth was slightly unpleasant, but she was not terribly wicked.
If Ruth truly liked Duke, Adeena was willing to create some opportunities for them. Obviously, it was mainly because she wanted to get out of the situation.
âForget it.â Ruth pouted. âI donât want a man whoâs divorced and has kids!â
The man was basically too cold. If she got together with him, she was afraid that she would be frozen to death. While she was materialistic , she did not want to live the rest of her life in grievance!
The two of them chatted all the way back to the Willis familyâs mansion. Right after they got out of the car, Clarence, who had been arrested yesterday, came forward. âHow did it go? Did Mr. Winters trouble you?â
âUncle Clarence , did you suffer in jail?â Adeena asked.â Did they just release you?â âThey didnât trouble me. Instead, they apologized to me.â Clarence frowned. âMr. Wintersâ assistant personally went to pick me up. He even said that it was a misunderstanding. To make it up to the Willis family, Winters Corporation is willing to collaborate with the Willis family on a project in Sea City.â
âIs this a new trap?â Mdm. Willis said in a deep voice.
The previous incident terrified everyone in the Willis family, and they dared not feel optimistic about this.
Kendry shook his head. âIf Winters Corporation really wants to deal with the Willis family, why would they resort to such trouble again?â
He raised his head and looked at Adeena. âDid Mr. Winters say anything when you went there today?â
âMr. Winters was extremely polite.â Ruth was unhappy, but she still spoke honestly. âWhen he saw Deena, he couldnât take his eyes off her. I guess he apologized to the Willis family because of Deena.
Uncle Clarence, the project in Sea City shouldnât be a trap. Mr. Winters canât even wait to please Deena, so why would he pull the same trick again?â
She sounded jealous, but it shocked everyone in the Willis family.
The thought that Mr. Winters might be aiming for this foster daughter of theirs had occurred to them, but they never expected it to be real.
Mr. Winters had rushed all the way to Cloud City and put in effort to set the whole thing up just for a woman. It was apparent how much Mr. Winters cared about her.
âGreat! This is great!â Jada held Adeenaâs hand. âYouâre outstanding . Youâre totally good enough for the CEO of Winters Corporation. I feel rest assured now!â
Ruth snorted. âMom, what are you thinking? Maybe Mr. Winters just wants to have fun.â
At the side, Kendryâs expression darkened.
If his foster daughter really went to Sea City to be with Mr. Winters, her background could be uncovered.
When that happened, the Willis family would really be doomed.
âDeena, do you want to be Mr. Wintersâ secretary?â Kendry asked.
Adeena nodded. âIâve signed the contract. Iâll start working in half a month.â
âThe project with Winters Corporation will also start in half a month,âClarence said. âWhen the time comes, Brady, go to Sea City with Deena. The two of you can take care of each other.â
âIâm going too!â There was a flash of light in Ruthâs eyes. âIâve never been to Sea City. I want to experience new things with Brady and Deena.â
Jada pulled her aside. âWhat kind of enjoyment are you going to find there? Isnât it good to just stay in Cloud City?â
âI merely want to go and have some fun.â Ruth acted cute. âBrady will be there to look after me. Dad, Mom, please donât worry.â So, it was confirmed.
