Chapter 523
The Internet was swept up in a wave of opinion.
(Oh, my god! Where did this gossip come from? The
most beautiful woman in Sea City and the CEO of Winters Corporation? How can the two of them get e
ngaged? This has to be a rumor!
(Ms. Daugherty was the most beautiful woman in Sea City five years
ago. At that time, she was still an innocent girl, so perhaps she was good enough for Duke Winters bac
k then. But now... she‘s just a second hand woman. She‘s not good enough for Mr. Winters, right?]
(Besides, she still has
two illegitimate kids. Have you forgotten about the fuss between her and Tyson Osborne? if her kids do
n‘t belong to ‘Tyson, whose kids could they be? Duke Winters wouldn‘t raise someone else‘s kids, woul
d he?) (How could a woman with two illegitimate children become the future Mrs. Winters?) (This news
has to be a rumor. Someone is purposely spreading
rumors!) The netizens basically did not believe their engagement. While they discussed, they brought u
p Adina‘s past and insulted her repeatedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don‘t read it.” Duke turned off his phone, and he appeared serious. His expression
was cold and dark. “George, get them to delete the comments and also suppress the news.”
“Countless people are watching the Winters family. Your engagement will be exposed sooner or later.”
Mrs. Winters contemplated as she said, “Besides, the two of you are together every day, and the kids a
re already old enough. We can‘t just suppress all this by force. Why don‘t you take this chance”
Duke shook his head. “Once we announce it, the children will become the target of people with bad inte
ntions.
“But if you don‘t announce it, the netizens will find out one day. It‘s impossible to hide this,” Mrs. Winter
s said. “You also saw how the netizens described Alden and Melody. Those descriptions are really unpl
easant.”
Adina silently bit her bottom lip.
There had been too many voices like that since Alden and Melody were born.
The kids did not have a father. So–
called cultivated people would call them illegitimate children, while uncultured people would label them l
ittle b*stards.
Those two
children had suffered too much with her. Now, they had their father. Yet, why were people still calling th
em little b*stards?
“If George and
Harold become exposed to the netizens one day, they‘ll be called illegitimate sons too.” Mrs. Winters br
eathed in and said, “I have an idea. I wonder if you would hear me
out?»
Adina looked up and said, “Aunt Mabel, please feel free to voice your opinion.” “You should take this op
portunity to tell the netizens that you‘ve been married for a long time, and this is just a make-up
wedding.” Mrs. Winters’ gaze was serious as she said, “It‘s the only way to make the children
legitimate, and no one will dare to comment on them
anymore. Of course, I’m just raising this suggestion because I want to protect the kids. You can think
about it again.”
Adina paused for a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhile. She did not expect Mrs. Winters to bring up such a suggestion. The early engagement had caug
ht her off guard, and the engagement was now being changed to marriage?
She subconsciously looked at Duke.
Duke looked at her as well and slowly said, “Parents will always prioritize their children‘s safety, and I
am no different. I know after we
expose the kids, it will bring them hidden danger. But… I don‘t want them to live their lives labeled as ‘ill
egitimate children.‘ I wish to give them a clean background. Addy, I can protect the kids and you. We ca
n announce that we‘re already married. Once you‘re willing to marry me, we‘ll register our marriage. W
hat do you think?”
Adina stared at him blankly. After a long time, she finally said, “If we fake our marriage, we‘ll be expose
d one day, and it‘ll mean nothing. Let‘s register our marriage later, and you can hold a press conference
.” Duke‘s eyes were filled with excitement. “Addy, are you serious?” Adina‘s face turned red from his sta
re. She looked down and shyly said, “If you think I‘m not being serious, we can just not register our mar
riage.” “We‘re going! We‘ll register our marriage now!” Duke jumped off the bed but pulled his left leg. H
e was in so much pain that he grunted. Mrs. Winters immediately said, “You‘re already injured. Stop act
ing tough. I‘ll call a friend of mine in the Department of Civil Affairs. They‘ll help to deliver
your marriage certificate later.”
