“Before Raina broke up with Georgie, she went missing for half a month,” Alden said, “Half a month before that, her father’s business went bankrupt, and he got drunk out of sadness. He drove her younger brother and fell into the river.”“What?”This change shocked Ninian and the others.“I remember that Raina’s family background was pretty good. Her mother died young, but she was close with her father and her younger brother. Her father pampered the siblings very much, so Raina was also quite cheerful and warm.” Harold could not help but sigh and say, “It’s so unexpected… that this would happen to her.”Ninian also nodded, and her eyes turned slightly red. “How could she bear such a tragedy? Raina was not even twenty at that time, right?”“Did George know about this?” Melody asked.Since she had broken up with George at this point, what did George do?“George didn’t know about it. Besides, he also went missing within half a month after Raina went missing,” Alden said.“What? Wh
When Melody looked at his cold and heartless side profile, she held his hand and shook her head. “Al, your thoughts are too extreme. It’s only because of the existence of love that there are grudges and harm. I think during the half a month that George went missing, Raina must have also gone through a period of torment. There must be a special reason that made her break up with Georgie after half a month. George isn’t the only person who got hurt in this relationship.”Alden held himself back for a while, but he still did not say anything in the end. He just looked down indifferently.“I think Mel is right.” Ninian nodded as well. “I really want to go and ask Raina what truly made her break up with George. Her performance in the cafe just now also proves that she actually can’t let him go.”“Grapie!” Alden suddenly looked at her sternly. “You can’t go and ask her. I won’t allow you to interfere with this.”“What?” Ninian was slightly surprised. She raised her head and looked at him
“Okay.” He raised his arms to surrender before he threw all his cigarettes and the lighter from his pocket into the trash can.“What should we do now?” he asked. He looked askance at his sister’s indifferent and gorgeous side profile, appearing helpless. “I can’t figure out their relationship. I can only leave this to you.”“I want to talk to Raina,” Melody said. “Although we can’t tell her about Grapie’s incident, I can at least understand what occupies her mind. I think she didn’t just break up because George didn’t accompany her. Something else must have happened that broke her heart completely.”“Sure,” Alden said casually. “If you can’t handle her, I’ll do it on my own.”He spoke leisurely, but coldness flashed in his eyes.Melody could not help but have goosebumps. “Al, you’re a leader in the National Security Network. Can you stop behaving like a dangerous person? It’s scary, okay?” she said.Alden replied, “Nonsense.”Was he dangerous?He was clearly a righteous person.
“You don’t say!” Harold said cheerfully. He was feeling extremely pleased with himself. Earlier, he had sworn that he would not compromise on Ninian’s request. But those words were thrown in the bin as if he had never said those words in his life.Everyone knew that Harold never took his oaths seriously. Soon, Harold and Ninian arrived at the hotel where Raina stayed. They ran into her at the stairs, saving them the trouble of looking for her. “Hal! Ninian!” Raina said in shock, “Why are you here?”“Hey, Raina. What a coincidence! It has been so long!” Ninian stammered from the sudden bout of nervousness.Harold patted her head to comfort her. He then looked at Raina with severity in his gaze. “Raina, we came here to look for you.”“Me?” Raina’s expression changed. She became cold and vigilant. “What for?”“Why don’t we go somewhere else to chat?” Harold said as he pointed to the passersby who were watching them. Ten minutes later, they were in a cafe beside the hotel.
“At that time, everyone was in shock. Daddy was furious, and everyone else blamed themselves for it…”Ninian’s voice quivered as she recalled her dark past. Her usually lit-up bright eyes were now welling up with tears and looked dull. “George personally dealt with that man. He even… turned violent…“At that time, George was upset. Everyone… was also upset…”“Okay, Ninian. Enough!” Raina said out loud. She could not bear it anymore. “It’s all in the past now…”“I’d never once seen George work so hard. He blamed himself for the incident…” Ninian was deep into her memories. The shackles of trauma that kept her from moving on were not the incident itself, but instead, it was the guilt the family felt from the incident.Her face was pale and clenched her fingers as she said, “George and Alden barely slept, Mommy and Melody cried secretly, and Harold, the most cheerful person I know, did not smile for half a year…”“Grapie…” Harold looked at her pale face, her eyes couldn’t help b
“Alright, Grapie. Let’s get back to business,” Harold changed the topic, so she would not be left feeling awkward. “Oh, yes.” Ninian raised her head and smiled sheepishly. Her eyes lit up. “I’m sorry, Raina. It’s embarrassing to have you watch me act like this.”“No worries.” Raina smiled and shook her head as she returned to her seat. “Raina, we’ve now told you why George lost contact with you. Are there any other misunderstandings between the two of you?” Harold did not beat around the bush and spoke pointedly. Ninian blinked as she earnestly looked at Raina. When Raina showed how serious Ninian and Harold were, she could no longer put on a cold expression. She sighed helplessly and laughed, feeling amused.“What Ninian told me just now only lets me know that George didn’t abandon me to be the heir of the company. But this doesn’t change the fact that he won’t communicate and share certain things with me.“He either doesn’t trust me or he doesn’t find me that important. Mo
Raina took a deep breath as she quivered and said, “I might sound stupid for saying this, but even after half a month of heartbreak, I was still making excuses for George.”“He didn’t mean it, he’s just ignorant. If he had known about this, he would definitely be by my side. He’s not the kind of person who would leave me at times like this, even if he has no feelings for me. “Even during those times, I was still worried he had gotten into an accident. I resented God and wondered if he’d call it quits when he finally took all that I had from me.“But those thoughts stopped when I accidentally heard what the patient in the ward next to me said.” Raina’s gaze turned cold as she zoned out. “The VIP ward next door occasionally had bodyguards guarding it. One day, as I passed by the ward, I instinctively stopped when I heard them mentioning the Winters family. “A voice inside me told me to eavesdrop and listen to what they had to say and find out the truth. In the end, I now found out
Raina was stunned. She laughed at herself. “Did he say that? Did he say that he loves me? That’s impossible!” she laughed as her eyes gradually teared up. “If he did, why didn’t he come here on his own? If he loves me, why would he disappear without leaving a word to me? If he loves me, why would he be wary around me and avoid me at every chance he gets?“You said he loves me, but the way he looks at me, his words, and his actions never once showed that he does. She shook her head and smiled as her vision blurred. “Are you saying that true love means to avoid and hide from the person you love? I don’t believe you.”Her question also left Harold and Ninian speechless.George had broken Raina’s heart, lowering her self-confidence. She was certain that he did not love him, and that was determined to cut her off. They finally understood that she wanted to break up not because of a moment of misunderstanding or impulse, but instead, of an outbreak of suppressed feelings of disappoint
The screen was full of comments like, “I can’t accept this sadness.”When the host saw the audience overreacting, he smiled to smooth out the situation and said, “Have you forgotten? Ninian just said that she wanted to announce some good news!”His words reminded everyone at the venue.With that, almost everyone held their breath and listened to her.“Everett and I will be holding a wedding soon!”“What?!”“Ah! Awesome! The day has finally come!”“Sob! Ninian and Everett finally have a happy ending! I’m going to cry! They’re my youth! I’ve witnessed love that has gone the distance!”“You have my blessings! You have to be happy for the rest of your lives!”Their cheers grew louder and louder, almost overturning the whole award hall.Everett was standing backstage. When Ninian saw the scene, she turned back, looked into his eyes, and smiled.They were finally getting married.The eighth of September was a good day for their wedding.The headlines in the entertainment section
The Winters family fell silent again.Among the three sisters-in-law, Lana was already so moved that she wept. Raina and Nerola were stronger, but their eyes turned red too.The Winters brothers, who were initially touched, instantly appeared dissatisfied as a result.They were actually moved and crying for other men? Women, you were playing with fire!Naturally, the Winters brothers did not have a chance to vent their anger because Duke had already stood up.He walked to the similarly outstanding young men, who were standing side by side, and patted their shoulders. At this moment, he seemed to age a little. He did not look like the overlord who dominated the business industry in the past.“From now on, I’ll leave my two babies to you.”When Brooklyn and Everett heard this, they were taken aback, but their eyes were soon filled with excitement.Before they could respond, Duke had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Adina got up abruptly to accompany him.She turned back and l
“Uncle Duke,” Brooklyn and Everett greeted Duke at the same time.Brooklyn was older, so he moved a step forward first and said, “Uncle Duke, this is something that I prepared three years ago. All properties under my name, including shares that aren’t limited to the family business, properties, estates, stocks, etc… were transferred to Mel three years ago. Whether in the past or in the future, everything I have, including my life, will belong to her.”Melody was shocked when he said that.All his properties had been transferred to her? He never mentioned anything to her. He just silently gave her everything.“Daddy…” Melody looked at Duke, and her clear gaze was filled with helplessness which was rare.Brooklyn was the only person, other than her family, who was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Such love that was enthusiastic, reserved, hidden, yet deep and long-lasting made her heart seize.George took the documents from Brooklyn and passed them to Duke.Duke flipped t
At the same time, Alden replied to her.“Daddy and Mommy are just in the next city. The journey will take two hours.”Melody was speechless. She was right!There was murderous intent on the indifferent and delicate girl’s face.Good! Great! She wanted to see where her father could hide this time!When Ninian came out after putting her makeup on, it was still early. There were still two hours before the ceremony’s banquet.There was still half an hour left before her father came home. At this time, Melody secretly called Everett and Brooklyn to come over. They were fully prepared, and they just waited for Duke to return home.At the side, George, Raina, Harold, Lana, Alden, and Nerola were watching the show.After the Winters sisters worked hard, the three of their sisters-in-law were successfully bribed to support them to get married as soon as possible.Even the three of their henpecked brothers also took their sides.Now, the Winters siblings had everything ready. They we
Her words were audible in the live stream, and they instantly caused a big fuss.[Ninian has a kid!][Is “the Everett” a dad now?][Sob! I knew that they secretly got married!][How could they not live broadcast my husband and wife’s wedding?]The comments on the screen kept moving, while Ninian was clueless on the other side.She just said, “It’s our baby. Please make the necessary arrangements, thank you.”The comments became more frenzied.[?][!]A series of symbols occupied the whole screen. After Ninian hung up, they were still rolling.The netizens were worked up.By the time the venue’s staff realized this, it had become the top trending topic.[#The Everett and Ninian secretly got married!][#Baby Ninian has a kid!][#The Everett is a father now!]Crazy, screaming fans filled the bottom of the screams.The couple had been together for so long, and the fans had gotten used to them from not accepting them at the beginning.After all, Ninian grew up quickly befo
There was also “as long as a woman had a stable job and strong support from her family, she would be happy and relaxed even if she stayed single for her whole life.”She could go on.Besides, what was more cunning about Duke was that he would never post the quotes using his own account. He would use his wife’s, Adina’s WhatsApp, to post inspirational quotes and links every time.In the beginning, it caused the Winters siblings to panic for a time, and they thought that their mother opposed their marriage.They sighed in relief only after Alden unintentionally hacked his father’s account. He realized that his father had found the posts and forwarded them to his mother before posting them using his mother’s phone.It was fine. It was normal for the father-in-law to trouble his sons-in-law.It was the same theory as the mother-in-law having conflicts with her daughters-in-law.However, the roles changed in their family. It was the father who was being antagonistic toward the daught
Reverie’s smile was sincere and genuine.She initially helped Ninian only because she thought that Ninian was great. Besides, Ninian said she wanted to rely on herself before the casting, which also impressed and moved her.Unexpectedly, she gave herself an opportunity with her unintentional act. That made Reverie feel blessed and surprised.Hearing what she said, Ninian felt warm and comforted.Everyone thought that the entertainment industry was filthy and full of schemes.In reality, there were many people who pursued their dreams and worked very hard there. There were also many people who helped and supported each other.When there were people, there would be competition, but there would also be warmth and sincerity.Ninian filmed her scenes in an orderly manner.As for the Winters siblings, their relationships also developed smoothly.George had happily begun preparing for his wedding. Raina was not a pretentious person either, and the couple had discussions about how the
However, to the surprise of those haters, Ninian, who was acting for the first time, not only did not drop the ball on any of her performances in the Oscar-level mission, but she also managed to portray her own charm and personality in the character very well.From her gentleness and firmness at the start to the grandeur during the protest to her enthusiasm and passion even when captured by the enemy and taken to the execution ground, her character arc represented the experiences of countless revolutionary predecessors.She had absorbed the spirits of many ancestors into her body. Seeing her alone demonstrated the bravery and unstoppable power of Cairnstan’s youth.Before she was executed, she looked at the rising sun and showed a gentle and firm smile.In the end, gunshots rang out, and her body dropped to the ground. However, the sun rose all the way and illuminated the earth.Numerous people were moved and went wild at the scene where she smiled. It was not until everyone’s e
“What? What turn of events?” Nilson immediately asked. “We have defenders!”“Defenders? What defenders? Are you talking about soccer now?” With wide eyes, Nilson asked.“No, not those types of defenders! What I mean is that someone stepped in and is explaining on Ms. Winters’ behalf! But it’s not one of our people. It’s defenders from outside!” explained the staff. “What?” Nilson immediately stood up. “Let me see!”The staff quickly handed the phone over to him, and the website page on the screen kept on refreshing. [@ActressReverieWood: “I’ve worked with the Winters family’s little princess before. She has a lovely personality. She’s soft-spoken and well-behaved, and she has no temper at all. What surprised me the most was her acting skills. She was a rookie who was full of presence, and she could easily blend into the concept.
