“What do we do, Hal?” When she saw George’s car, Ninian panicked. “I can’t let George find me here!”If George found out that she had sneakily returned to the country without letting him know and even went into the entertainment industry, he might just toss her out of the country again.She could not leave at this time, she had not properly thanked Everett yet!“Don’t worry, Ninian!” Harold tried to calm her down, but he was so worked up himself, that he was about to start pulling his hair out.If George found out Harold and the workshop had developed a new AI simulation android with Ninian’s face to replace her living abroad and deceive the Winters family, George would probably skin him alive. But now, it was too late to run. Behind them was the road to the Winters family’s mansion, and in front was George’s car. It was not like they could fly.“How about this?” Harold said quickly, “Ninian, hide behind my car seat, and the young lady next to you can climb up to the passenger s
‘Oh my god!! This drop-dead gorgeous man is talking to me!’Lana replied without hesitation, “I’m twenty this year!”George seemed a little surprised that she was an adult. His stern brows were raised slightly, but he did not say anything.He looked at Harold again. There was an unquestionable dignity in his low and calm voice. “You are all too young and immature. This kind of relationship will not last. Consider this carefully by yourselves.”After he was done speaking, George turned his head and looked straight ahead. The window moved up and gradually obscured his noble and calm face. The black vehicle started up and drove away from them. Ninian stuck her fuzzy head out from the corner. Her face was full of surprise.They had successfully evaded the clutches of the Great Demon King!The siblings looked at each other and clasped their hands together happily.Beside them, Lana was more excited than both of them. “Oh god, oh god! Ninian, that was your eldest brother? How can
Harold’s question made Ninian recall something.She furrowed her brows slightly, and her beautiful apricot eyes looked lost for a moment.“I don’t know either. I thought someone in our family found out about my return, but it turned out that that wasn’t the case. I also asked someone to investigate it, but they found nothing,” Ninian said. “If it weren’t for the fingerprints, or that colleague’s abnormal behavior, I would have thought it was all in my head.”When Lana heard this, she asked nervously, “What? What happened yesterday? Someone was watching you?”Ninian nodded and briefly explained what happened at that time.After Lana heard this, her face became a little strange.Harold observed the change in her emotion. His teasing eyes narrowed slightly and gained an edge that was unique to the children of the Winters family. “What do you know, girl?”“According to the time and place you mentioned, a name does come to mind,” Lana said, then she shook her head in denial. “I must
‘Why does it seem like she knows Everett very well?’But seeing how Ninian was shrinking herself into a little ball and trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, Lana decided not to say anything.The sky outside had turned dark.Harold took them to dinner before he sent Ninian and Lana to the apartment where they stayed.This was originally a place arranged by Younique Entertainment for Nerola Barlow. After Ninian returned to Sea City, she shared this place with Nerola. When she officially signed her contract with Younique Entertainment, Amber Ward reserved a room next door as a temporary residence for Ninian.However, Ninian had been busy these past few days, so she had not had the time to move in and still lived with Nerola.And this time, Lana, being Ninian’s assistant, naturally joined her as they were inseparable.“Hal, upstairs is where the girls live, so I won’t invite you to come upstairs!” Ninian jumped out of the car and waved at Harold, and her eyes twinkle
Unexpectedly, Lana, who was perplexed, looked at Ninian with a piercing gaze. Ninian did not plan to hide it from her. After all, she was her assistant now. It would be better for her to know some things. “Alright, alright. I’ll tell you.” She said helplessly and raised her hand, gesturing that she surrendered. She told Lana about her brief contact with Everett and why she entered the entertainment industry. Lana gradually understood. “Is this the legendary trope where the girl chases after the boy and promises her hand in marriage because he saved her?” Lana’s eyes lit up and said giggly. “This is just like a love story from a fairytale!”Ninian instantly felt embarrassed. “Lana! What are you thinking?” She blushed and rushed forward to cover Lana’s mouth. “As I told you, I want to thank him, that’s all. I owe him that. Plus, I entered the entertainment industry just to get close to my idol, not my husband! Stop talking nonsense!”“Aye, you’re blushing already!” Lana smi
‘Ninian neither looks like a regular fan who chases after her idol nor a damsel who is grateful for her rescuer. ‘She looks more like a girl who is worried about her first love.’These thoughts made Lana worried even more. ‘I can lightheartedly ship them like a fangirl, only because it won’t affect anyone else. And Ninian can feel happy about it, even though it is a small thing. ‘But now that I see that Ninian loves Everett more than just an idol, this is getting worrisome. And she still doesn’t know about it!‘Everett is great, but he should only be regarded as an idol. He’s withdrawn and indifferent, and there is almost no human emotion in his deep dark eyes. This cold and aloof boy is only to be her co-actor.’‘On the other hand, Ninian is innocent and beautiful. She’s meant to be doted on by everyone.‘A little princess like her should grow up carefree and meet a gentle and sensible prince when she comes of age. They’ll fall in love with each other, and she’ll be cared fo
“Oh, nothing.” Ninian smiled gently and did not talk much. “If you have any problems with filming, you can look for me. I have a few years of experience that might be of help to you.” Paul said with a smile, “And of course, if you have any problems outside of filming, you can find me, too. I’m your friend, don’t hesitate to find me, alright?”Ninian smiled when she saw how sincere Paul looked. “I know, thank you.”Paul looked a little dazed. He could not help but smile. “Why are you behaving so well?”She looked like a sweet little princess, gentle and obedient. She looked so adorable. “Huh?” Ninian raised her eyebrow a little, feeling amused. ‘No one at home ever says that I behave well.‘Mommy and Daddy say I’m a cunning little fox, and my brothers and sister say that I’m a sweet-looking demon.‘But on the outside, there are quite a lot of people who say that I’m a good girl. ‘It’s just an illusion, though.’ When Paul noticed Ninian was in a good mood, he became happ
Ninian headed to the restroom when she noticed not everyone was there yet. The discomfort that she felt finally disappeared when she washed her arms with cold water for three minutes. No one in her family knew that ever since the assault three years ago, she had become particularly sensitive to outsiders touching her, especially men. Her good upbringing kept her calm on the outside. But deep down, she could feel a wisp of disgust and rejection gradually growing in her heart. Fortunately, this time it was just an accident, and Paul was a close friend of hers. Her discomfort was not too severe, and she could just barely suppress it after rinsing her arm.Ninian returned to normalcy again when she headed back to the set. The shooting went by smoothly. When it ended, Ninian went to the restroom. But someone blocked her way.When she looked up, she saw Agnes staring at her with a hint of jealousy and resentment in her gaze. Agnes’ beautiful and elegant face showed a sinister and
