Adeena glanced at the gift box. It was from one of the most luxurious brands in the world.
All these things combined would be worth at least two or three hundred thousand. She could not
understand what was so attractive about Ruth that would make Daniel spend so much time, money,
and effort on her.
“The Jones family is not an insignificant family. He‘s very generous and has graceful table manners,
like a prince straight out of a painting. He can‘t be a bad person,” Ruth said.
“This is my personal affair, so keep your nose out of it. That‘s right, what about Duke? Where has he
gone?”
She quickly changed the subject.
If Adeena continued asking questions, Ruth‘s ignorance of the situation would be exposed.
She felt nervous for some reason and did not want this sweet happiness that had fallen from the sky to
suddenly be ruined...
Adeena frowned and said, “Duke is busy with work. He‘ll be back soon.”
At that moment, Brady was at a subsidiary company of
Winters Corporation.
The CEO of this subsidiary company was George. A year ago, he had taken over this subsidiary
company, which was the largest in Winters Corporation, and now managed most of the key projects for
the company.
Brady looked at the two eight – or nine–year–old children in front of him and was confused for a
moment.
‘Does Winter Corporation not have enough manpower? Why did they send two children to discuss the
project with him?‘
“Mr. Willis, I am the head manager for this project. My name is George Winters,” George said
indifferently as he introduced himself.
Alden slowly said, “I am the chief planner, Alden Winters.”
“H–how do you do?” Brady smiled dryly and said, “Have you looked at the project proposal?”
“This is an old city renovation project. The early stages of the relocation work have already been done,
so the next step is planning the construction of commercial buildings. I have looked through the
proposal from Willis Corporation, but it is still lacking...” George flipped open the proposal and stated in
detail, “The areas for afforestation are insufficient, the man–made lake could easily become a sewage
ditch, and here...”
As he listened to George discuss the work, Brady’s expression slowly turned from confusion to shock.
‘Sea City kids are insane! Even a nine–year–old is more knowledgeable than an adult like me…‘
The proposal discussions were concluded within half an hour.
With sincere admiration, Brady said, “Mr. Winters, you’re truly outstanding. I’ll go back and revise this
according to your suggestions-”
“Mr. Willis, I heard that you came to Sea City on a business trip with your sister,” George said slowly.
Brady did not know why he asked this, but he answered sincerely, “Yes, I came here with my sister.
She came to Sea City on business for the IoT Exhibition.”
“We also attended the dinner at the exhibition, and happened to bump into Ms. Willis,” Alden said
cutely. ” However, I heard from Ms. Willis that she’s not the biological daughter of the Willis family.”
“She’s an adopted daughter. Our family has been taking care of her for three years now,” Brady
responded smoothly.
“The Pierson family has an adopted daughter, too.” Alden’s eyes flashed, and he coolly said, “That
adopted daughter grew up with the Pierson family and had always been like a servant to them. She’s
twenty years old now and is being forced to marry a divorced old man. The life of an adopted daughter
is not easy...”
“The Willis family isn‘t like that!” said Brady quickly.
“ Ever since Adeena joined our family three years ago, we‘ve treated her as though she were our own,
and my second aunt loves her very much. Even if the Willis family has any bad motives, it‘s impossible
for us to do anything against Adeena. She‘s really excellent. Even though she has amnesia , it didn‘t
stop her from setting up her own company. That IoT company was only established three years ago,
but it has become one of the most outstanding companies in Cloud City... My apologies, I was just
rambling!”
Brady immediately shut his mouth, feeling somewhat apprehensive. It was mainly because he greatly
admired Adeena. Whenever someone asked about her, he could not help but sing her praises.
“Go on. Tell me more,” George said, “Our company happens to have some business related to this
matter.”
Brady‘s eyes shone. “Adeena actually wants to expand her business to Sea City. If she could
collaborate with Winters Corporation, she‘d be ecstatic.”
