“Or else, why would you two react this way?”Harold and Ninian instantly hid their curious look when they heard Alden’s question. They straightened up and said, “No, we know nothing!”“Oh, really?” Alden said sullenly as he looked at the two of them sternly with his cold gaze. “I heard that George went to Raina’s hotel last night. Before he went there, two people dropped by at that hotel earlier. Harold, Ninian, why don’t we take a guess who they are?”Harold and Ninian kept quiet. “You two…” Melody was shocked. When she noticed how guilty the two of them looked, her gaze turned cold. “I see. So, the two of you went behind our backs and looked for Raina. How dare you!”Melody was usually indifferent. It was rare to see her getting so worked up like this. This time, Harold and Ninian’s expressions darkened, and they looked miserable. They did not dare to look into her eyes. “Mel…” Ninian pursed her lips and acted pitifully. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again next time…”Harold p
“Is that George?” Ninian muttered to herself. “Am I hallucinating or something?”‘George has always looked sullen and indifferent. His visage could even terrify the executives in the Winters Corporation to tears. ‘Today, he’s actually buying roses in a florist by the roadside and is having serious discussions with the owner.‘If I were to take a picture of him like this and post it for the employees at the company to see, things would be chaotic! His reputation as an indifferent boss would be ruined!’As Ninian thought of it, she heard the sound of cameras clicking. Her eyes widened when she turned to look. The carefree Harold, taciturn Alden, and soft-spoken Melody were doing the same thing at the moment. They were holding their phones and taking photos of George frantically. Ninian was left speechless. “Guys, what are you doing?” Ninian was perplexed. “We’re taking pictures of evidence.” Melody sounded excited. “We rarely get any leverage on him. Aren’t you going to ge
She was able to switch between being a wolf to a puppy at will.‘My dear sister is quite silly when it comes to emotions. She doesn’t suspect a thing, hehehe...’Ninian was so happy.“Grapie,” Alden said suddenly. His tone was cold and solemn. “You’re still young, so you’re not allowed to be in a relationship yet. You need to distance yourself from those who try to get closer to you with ulterior motives. When you’re older, we will filter through your suitors for you, understand?”“Huh?” After blanking out for a moment, Ninian nodded obediently. “...Okay.”Harold looked back at her. He thought of something, which caused him to bear a contemplative look on the serious expression he rarely wore. After taking a deep look at her, he did not say anymore.Ninian shivered, feeling as though her brothers had their sights set on her.She smiled in embarrassment and said, “If I don’t understand, then I’m supposed to ask, right? When will I be considered a grown-up? When I reach big sister
George had arrived, and he had not come alone.He was escorted by Raina. Or rather, Raina was forcibly being dragged along by him.From their seats, his younger siblings shot him inquisitive looks. George remained calm and was shamelessly unbothered by it. On the other hand, Raina was very much embarrassed. After she nodded politely at Harold and the others, she turned her head away and ignored George.Harold and Ninian gave him a thumbs-up in unison.The orchestra began their tuning.Melody’s performance would start soon. The audience were already seated and waited eagerly.Ninian was waiting as well, but she suddenly felt someone’s gaze on her.She turned her head reflexively and stared at the corner where the gaze had come from...But there was nothing there.It was relatively dark there, and although Ninian saw rows of listeners sitting there, she could not recognize them or detect anything unusual about them.Beside her, Alden noticed her odd behavior and asked, “Grapi
Outside the theater, people came and went on the streets in an endless flow.Everett’s car slid into the center of a group of cars and drove quickly into the distance.Behind them were several discreet black cars pursuing them.“Mr. Craig, he’s from the Winters family.”Everett’s expression was a little cold as he frantically typed codes on his computer. When he heard this, he did not even lift his head. He only said, “Take the river bridge route and lose them there.”The river was near downtown, and it was always crowded at this time.Fortunately, the Craig family’s chauffeur was very experienced and had prepared well in advance. He had thoroughly checked the surrounding routes, and they had other vehicles prepared to receive them on each road. The next moment, he took the bridge route and drove down it at a very fast and dangerous speed. Afterward, using the crowd to conceal themselves, they changed to a different car and went in the other direction, successfully throwing o
Alden’s sentence immediately drew everyone’s attention to Ninian.George was the first to ask, “Grapie, what’s going on?”Harold and Melody also approached her with obvious worry and puzzlement in their eyes.Ninian nervously clenched her fists under her siblings’ stares and even felt like cowering a little.‘What do I do? Should I tell them my theory? That person really looked like Everett! But how could Everett have been here during the concert? If I really told them, then are they going to investigate Everett one after another? Will this give Everett more trouble?’“Grapie, you have to tell me the truth,” Alden said with a serious face, “The person just now is definitely not an ordinary person. His hacking skills are about the same level as mine, which means that he definitely has someone powerful supporting him. This kind of person has even attended Melody’s concert because he has his sights set on you. I’m certain this won’t spell anything good for you, and at the same time,
Melody’s concert would run for three days, and today was the first day.Instead of staying with her family, she returned to the orchestra to practice and rehearse.Ninian sat on the sofa in the suite while holding her chin. She watched George trying to woo Raina outside; she watched Harold fighting in an online game for glory and victory with his teammates; and she watched as Alden continued to indulge in work, unable to detach himself from it...She sighed deeply.‘It’s so boring.’“I’m going to my Mel’s place to watch her practice.” After Ninian said this, she picked up her purse and walked straight out of the door.Behind her, Alden raised his head from the document, and there was a dark gleam in his eyes.After leaving the hotel, Ninian looked behind—no one had followed her out. She breathed a sigh of relief. Ninian immediately took out her mobile phone and started texting Zayn.It was impossible for Zayn to be unaware of Everett being here.‘At the concert, Everett must h
While Ninian was in a daze, Everett suddenly took a step back. He pulled down his cap and whispered, “Be careful”. As he was about to leave, Ninian’s agile hand grabbed his arm. He was shocked, and when he turned back, their eyes met. “Um… Sorry…” She recalled that he hated coming in contact with other people.She felt awkward. However, Everett was not looking at her hand. Instead, he was looking behind her vigilantly. She turned back and looked, only to see a few figures emerging from the shadows. “Damn it!” Ninian exclaimed. ‘Those are my family’s bodyguards!‘No wonder Hal and Al let me out. They’ve secretly sent their men to follow me!’Everett, who had obviously noticed their presence, pulled his hand away, ready to leave. He did not plan to expose his identity to the Winters family just yet. But just as he pulled his hand back, Ninian swiftly grasped it.“Follow me!”She clutched his hand tightly as she led him into a small alley. Everett looked at her delica
