Even if Adeena sat in the corner of the banquet hall, she would still be the most eye–catching presence
among the guests. She said calmly, “Mother, I don‘t want to marry anyone.”
“What are you talking about, silly?” Jada held her hand. “It‘s been a customary rule for thousands of
years that men and women get married when they are of age. Since we raised you, it‘s our
responsibility to help you find a good husband from a good family. Mr. Finnian is an excellent option.
You can try to date him.”
“That‘s right, Adeena. The Finnian family is a very powerful family in Cloud City. It‘s a blessing to get
married to Mr. Finnian” Jada‘s other daughter said with a sweet smile. Even so, there was a hint of
jealousy in her smile. ‘Adeena was adopted by the Willis family four years ago. She lived a suppressed
life under the family, yet she still acts so arrogantly. ‘The most enviable thing is her face. She‘s
gorgeous, and there is not a single flaw on her fair face.
‘She has a faint aura that no one dares to look directly at her. Even so, they could not help looking at
her frequently.‘ Adeena frowned.
‘I seriously don‘t want to get married. I‘ve never thought about it at all.
‘I‘ve always felt like I‘ve something to do, and someone to meet...
‘I‘ve tried to recall for the past three years, but I just can‘t...
‘When I woke up, the Willis family asked my name. I wanted to tell them that I‘m Adina Daugherty.
This name has been engraved in my mind. Even if I lose my memories, I‘ll remember my name...‘
On that day they found her, Jada held her hand and said softly, “The Willis family rescued you from the
seaside. You were badly hurt. We spent a huge sum of money on your exchange transfusion. You‘re on
the verge of dying and your health is not looking good. We see the possibility of high medical expenses
to support you in the future, but I‘m sticking with you. We‘re adopting you. From now on, your name will
be Adeena Willis.”
Adina lost her memory and did not know who she was. So, she took the opportunity and lived with the
Willis family.
“I‘ve lived with them for three years. Day after day, year after year, life is peaceful, except for...‘
Adeena shifted her gaze and looked at her younger sister by name, Ruth Willis. ‘Ruth is the eldest
daughter in the Willis family. She hates me the most. She always discreetly makes things difficult for
me.
‘However, since the Willis family saved my life, I won‘t give Ruth a hard time. After all, she‘s younger
than I am.‘
“Adeena, why are you looking at me?” Ruth touched her face. “Do I have something on my face?”
Adeena smiled. “I remember you mentioning that you like Mr. Finnian. If that‘s the case, why don‘t you
get Ruth to marry Mr. Finnian instead?” Jada‘s face instantly stiffened. She then sighed, “The Willis
family and Finnian family are family friends. I‘ve proposed to Ruth to get married into the Finnian family
before. Unfortunately, she failed to make their second son fall in love with her, so the marriage was
delayed again and again. But Deena, you are different. You‘re beautiful and generous. They‘ll accept
you.”
Adeena pursed her lips.
They sound as if it‘s a privilege to get accepted by the Finnian family. I don‘t need that.‘ She said
calmly, “A noble person doesn‘t take away something that another person loves. Since Ruth has
feelings for Mr. Finnian, I don‘t want to get involved with him.” Right after she was done speaking, she
stood up and went to the restroom. Ruth clenched her fist. “Mother, your adoptive daughter acts like
your biological daughter more than me, your actual daughter.” Jada held her hand and said gently,
“Ruth, no matter what, Adeena is your savior. We won‘t owe her anything after finding her a good
family to get married into.”
“We saved her too, didn‘t we?” Ruth sneered, “If Dad hadn’t happened to go to the coast to rescue her,
she would‘ve been eaten by sharks a long time ago.”
