“I heard Mr. Winters calling her Ms. Willis. Since when was there a Willis family in Sea City?”
“There is one, but they‘re not a big family.”
“A woman‘s beauty is really her greatest weapon. Even Mr. Winters has fallen victim to it.”
“Speaking of him, do you remember the divorce scandal that went viral four years ago? No one has
heard anything from the couple anymore.”
“I think they’ve divorced for real. Or else, why hasn‘t Mdm. Winters made an appearance in public for
four years?”
“You got a point. Mdm. Winters, the most beautiful woman in Sea City, appeared on the news headlines
almost every month ever since she came back. Then, she disappeared for four years. It just isn‘t her
style. Perhaps she couldn‘t fit in after her divorce, so she went to settle abroad.”
“Hey, did you guys realize that Ms. Willis looks kind of similar to Mdm. Winters?”
“You‘re right...”
The ladies at the entrance of the banquet chatted, and behind them stood three children.
Harold clenched his fists. “For the past four years, Daddy hasn‘t been with any woman. Ms. Willis must
be Mommy!”
“I‘ve looked into it. We do indeed have a powerful family called the Willis in Cloud City.” Alden said
softly.
“The ladies just now said that Ms. Willis looks similar to Mommy. I think there‘s no doubting it. It‘s her.”
Harold pursed his lips. “But if she‘s Mommy, why did Daddy hide it from us?”
“Melody said Mommy lost her memories.” Alden said,“ Let‘s sit in a corner and observe it carefully once
we enter the banquet. We shouldn‘t act rashly. We might ruin Daddy‘s plan.” Harold nodded. “Okay, I‘ll
remain calm.” The three of them lowered their caps and joined the crowd.
As soon as Adeena entered the banquet, the staff who had been in charge of receiving her greeted her.
“Ms. Willis, you look much younger and more beautiful than when you are on–screen.”
They had been speaking to each other through video calls, but this was the first time the two had met
physically.
Adeena reached out to shake his hand. “Mr. Benkeran, it‘s an honor to meet you.”
Harris Benkeran was about to shake her hand when he suddenly felt someone watching him from
behind, and it gave him chills.
When he looked up, Duke, who was near them, stared at him with his sharp gaze.
Harris hurriedly pulled back his hand and tried to ignore the hostile gaze. “Ms. Willis, let‘s head to the
lounge and chat, shall we?” Just as Adeena was about to nod, Duke approached them. He was 1.86
meters tall. As soon as he came over, the chandelier was directly above his head, casting a shadow
over them.
He spoke casually, “Mr. Benkeran, why don‘t you let me talk to Ms. Willis for a moment?”
Harris was dumbfounded.
He was just a staff member. So, he did not recognize Duke.
Even so, he was no fool. From Duke‘s gaze, he had a feeling that Duke was quite possessive of
Adeena.
Duke‘s gaze was terrifying, and he could not handle the pressure of his gaze. “Alright. Ms. Willis, we‘ll
talk later.” Harris gulped and turned to welcome the other guests. Adeena pursed her lips. She
redirected her gaze to Duke and asked calmly, “May I know what you wanted to talk about, Mr.
Winters?”
“Ms. Willis, let‘s head to the lounge.”
Duke took the lead and strode toward the lounge. Adeena frowned. Countless people in the banquet
hall were watching Duke. Many men had their eyes on Adeena.
‘If I were to stay in the lounge for a long time with him, rumors would arise.
‘I‘ll be his secretary soon. If such rumors run rampant, my life in Sea City will be very tough.‘
