“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
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. Most actors, including myself, admire someone as talented as her.]A few short clips were attached under the tweet, all of which were from the show,
