My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 975

Chapter 975 However, Mdm. Willis lived in Clarence Willis' mansion and did not live them, so they would only meet two or three times a year. Adeena never treated Mdm. Willis with any importance. "Adeena, come here and see what I got for you." Jada gestured with her hand. "These are a pair of white jade pearl earrings, the best of their kind, and they go really well with your skin color."

Adeena glanced at them. Although she had never been much for jewelry, she could see at a glance that these earrings were indeed of high quality.

"Thank you, mother." She accepted the earrings, and inadvertently asked, "Mother, why are you suddenly giving me such precious things?" As she spoke, she stole a glance at Ruth. 'Such precious items are usually Ruth's possessions. Why would she give them to me?'

Ruth snorted and gently stroked whatever was in her right sleeve. 'What's so great about a pair of white jade pearl earrings? At most, it's just worth a few million

The Heart of the Ocean in her hand was the genuine first-rate luxury good. An ultra-rare treasure.

She had replaced the original with a fake. 'From now on, this Heart of the Ocean is mine...' Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ruth felt a little guilty, so she turned and retreated to her bedroom. "Wear these earrings for your grandmother's eightieth birthday banquet tomorrow," Jada said with a smile. "That's how your grandmother is, she has a sharp tongue. Don't take it to heart."

Adeena smiled and said, "I'm not part of the Willis family bloodline. I don't think Grandmother is going overboard with how she treats me. Thank you, Mother, for giving me such a precious gift. I'll go back to my room first to have a rest."

Jada smiled and nodded. It was not until Adeena had retired to her room did the smile disappeared completely from Jada's face.

She had given those earrings to Adeena in hopes that she would dress up more grandly tomorrow. It would be best if Brady took notice. That way, Jada would have nothing to worry about.

She really did not want to set Adeena up.

In Sea City, Melody rushed back to the Winters family's mansion that night itself. When she reached home, it was already 11:00 pm. Her three brothers had already gone to bed, and only the light from the study was still on. She hurried upstairs and pushed open the door to the study.

"Daddy!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, tears ran down her cheeks. Duke had been looking at a file, but when he heard his daughter's cry, he flew over to her. "Mel, what's wrong? Don't cry, Daddy's here..." Melody hugged Duke by the neck. The more she cried, the louder she became.

Duke picked up the nine-year-old girl in one arm and gently coaxed her, "Are you unhappy because I didn't fetch you from the airport?" Melody shook her head.

She began her world tour when she was six and had flown all over the world. She had said early on that she did not need her daddy or brothers to fetch her from the airport. How could she cry because of this? "Then, did someone bully you?" Duke continued to guess. He was not usually a patient man, but for his daughter, his patience was endless. Together with his soft cooing, he was nothing like the terrifying CEO, Mr. Winters. Melody continued to shake her head.

She was the young lady of the Winters family. Whenever she left the mansion, she would be escorted by as many as ten bodyguards. Who would dare to bully her? Melody spoke through her sobs, but she slowly got all the words out. "Daddy, 1-I found Mommy..."

Duke was completely stunned. He thought he had misheard her, so he slowly asked, "Mel, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly..."
