Chapter 1044 Adeena turned on her laptop and speedily tapped across the keyboard with her slim and
fair fingers.
Over the years, her hacking skills had improved a lot, so some small problems were not difficult for her
at all.
As long as something used to exist online, she would be able to track it down.
In less than five minutes, she found a photo of the most beautiful woman in Sea City and Mdm. Winters
of Winters Corporation.
“Gosh! This Mdm. Winters really looks exactly like you!” Brady said in disbelief.
He took a look at the picture before he glanced at Adeena, and his gaze was filled with shock.
Adeena observed the photo in silence.
The woman in the photo had an indifferent gaze and thin red lips. She emanated a ruthless air.
This woman did not just look like her, but they gave off the exact same aura.
She suddenly understood why the four children in the Winters family insisted that she became their
mother. It was because she resembled their mother.
She even understood why Duke fell in love with her at first sight.
It turned out that she was being treated as a substitute like Ruth.
Adeena slowly closed her laptop before she looked up at Brady. “I want to go back to Cloud City
tonight.”
She had wanted to leave tomorrow morning at first, but she suddenly did not want to stay any longer.
“I’m leaving too!”
Ruth grabbed her suitcase and walked out of the living
room.
She had become haggard in just two days. Her eyes were as swollen as walnuts, and she did not have
makeup on, which made her look more embarrassing.
Brady frowned. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Don’t ask. Don’t interfere with my business!” Ruth spoke in a muffled tone. She changed the subject
and said, “Adeena, you’re trending. The netizens say you look like Mdm. Winters. Is that true?”
Right after she spoke, a car suddenly stopped downstairs. The sound of the emergency brakes was
ear–piercing.
The three of them, who were standing by the balcony, turned around and looked over at the same time.
A man then stepped out from the driver‘s seat. He was wearing a black suit, and he looked dazzling
under the afternoon sunlight. The light loved him so much that it was completely focused on him. As
such, others could not take their eyes off him.
“He‘s come for you again!” Ruth said sarcastically. “Mr. Winters really likes you. He keeps going after
you every day. How long have you known each other? Why is he so affectionate with you?” As she
spoke, she paused abruptly and screamed, “I understand now!” Brady looked at her. “What do you
understand?”
“Winters Corporation dealt with the Willis family because of Adeena!” Ruth looked at Adeena with a
sharp gaze.“ Since you look like Mdm. Winters, Duke fell in love with you at first sight. To get you, he
dealt with Willis Corporation no matter the cost.” “Nonsense!” Brady said. “Ever since I came to Sea
City, Winters Corporation has helped me a lot.” “That‘s because he wants to court Adeena. It‘s all
related to her!”
At this time, Ruth felt conflicted.
Thanks to Adeena, Willis Corporation had been
suppressed by Winters Corporation. However, it was also because of Adeena that Willis Corporation
was slowly growing more stable in Sea City. Duke was truly affectionate toward Adeena.
What about her?
Ruth chuckled in resignation.
She fell for that man, but he told her that he had mistaken her for the wrong person.
She was a real joke.
How hilarious.
Buzz!
Adeena‘s phone vibrated.
She cast a glance at the incoming call and simply ended it.
She looked at the man who was standing downstairs, and she happened to look into his intense, black
eyes.
His eyes were filled with extremely strong affection, which she dared not ask for.

Adeena sat on the couch in the living room and sent him a text indifferently. (I won‘t meet you. Go
back.] [Addy, come downstairs. I‘ll give you an explanation.]
