Chapter 995

It had been three days since the CEO of Winters Corporation came to Cloud City.

He never left the hotel over the past two days, and the reporters at the entrance had finally lost their
patience, so the crowd was almost gone.

When Adeena and Ruth walked into the hotel, Jake hurried up to them. “Ms. Willis, I thought wouldn‘t
come.”

“Of course I‘d come,” Adeena said indifferently. “Mr. Wilson, you can contact the police and get them to
release my uncle now.”

Jake grinned and said, “Sure, Ms. Willis. I‘ll get it done now.”

As long as Ms. Willis came, everything was fine.

He pressed the floor number on the elevator and respectfully led the two of them upstairs.

Ruth felt very conflicted on the way.

Her father had been respectful toward this assistant yesterday, but this assistant was flattering Adeena
today.

Did Adeena and Mr. Winters really... yesterday?

No way!

She could not think any further!

Mr. Winters was the man she desired!



Ruth reapplied her lipstick and foundation in the elevator before she walked out of the elevator ahead
of Adeena.

Jake took the two of them to the presidential suite and gently knocked on the door. “Mr. Winters , Ms.
Willis is here.”

After he said that, he looked at Ruth. “Ms. Ruth Willis, let me take you to the resting lounge so that you
can wait there for a while.”

Ruth raised her chin. “I‘m here to see Mr. Winters. You can take my sister to the resting lounge.”

Jake was speechless.

Was this Ms. Willis a little witless?

“I came today to tell Mr. Winters my decision. Will it be a problem for me to take another person
inside?” Adeena asked with a straight face.

“Of course... not!”

Jake immediately lowered his head.

Mr. Winters never dared to oppose Mdm. Winters. He was just an assistant, so it was better for him to
listen to her request too.

Ruth scoffed. She loosened her collar, stood outside the presidential suite, and waited.

A few seconds later, the man‘s cold and deep voice rang out from the room. “Come in.”

Jake bowed and pushed the door open. Then he gestured respectfully to invite them inside. Ruth
bumped Adeena in the shoulder and stepped inside first.



Adeena pursed her lips indifferently.

If Ruth was there, Duke should not be able to drug her again.

She had to say that she was grateful for Ruth.

The two of them walked in one after another and saw Duke‘s back facing them. He was standing in
front of the French window.

He was not wearing his coat. He just had on a white shirt, and the white color reduced much of his
imposing aura. As such, he looked much gentler.

He turned around slowly, and the early morning sun shone in through the French window on his
exquisite features.

Ruth subconsciously gasped.

This man was terribly handsome!

“M–Mr. Winters.”

She could not help but call out to him.

Duke cast an unfriendly glance at her. “Who are you?”

Ruth was speechless, and she immediately introduced herself. “Mr. Winters, we met yesterday. I‘m the
Willis family‘s daughter. My name is Ruth Willis.”

“Who allowed you to come in?”

Duke appeared unhappy.



Today was his first date with Addy after four years. He did not want anyone to disturb them.

Ruth was terrified by his aggressive demeanor, so much so that her face turned pale. Ultimately, she
was just a girl in her early twenties. How could she bear this?

“Mr. Winters, please be more polite to my sister,” Adeena perfunctorily said with a deep frown. Ruth
held Adeena‘s hand tightly and nervously said, “ Don‘t make Mr. Winters angry. Don‘t you see how
upset he is?”

Oh, my goodness! This man was terrifying!

She suddenly felt that it was a terrible mistake to come along!
