Everett found it hilarious, yet he felt slightly sorry for her.He tussled Ninian’s hair and comforted her. “Be good. We’ll just talk about the project. We won’t talk about other things.”Ninian became slightly relieved when she heard that.She did not stop him anymore and just stared at him seriously from the side. Her gaze was cautious and filled with worry.Everett could not bear it and did not answer the call. Instead, he threw his phone aside, moved forward, and held her in his arms.“I know what you’re worried about. Don’t be afraid. I’ll handle it well. You shouldn’t bear the pressure.” He kissed her head affectionately, while his deep gaze was full of perseverance.Everett never thought that he would be with her, so he had avoided the members of the Winters family.But things had progressed out of his expectation and gone off the rails.Therefore, he would take the initiative to approach the Winters family, and he would convince them one by one and get them to hand her
Meanwhile, in Winters Corporation’s headquarters, George’s gaze became cold and profound after he put down his phone.“Mr. Winters, Ms. Ninian—” “She must be hiding something from us,” George said in a low voice. “Was the person who showed up in Ufrya last time Everett from the Craig family? Why can’t we find out that particular information until now?”“Um…” His assistant, Calder Gibson, looked troubled. “Their skills are really advanced. It was only after we invited Mr. Alden for assistance that we discovered information related to the Craig family. But there is still no evidence that shows this is related to Mr. Everett Craig.” Calder paused for a moment before he carefully asked, “Mr. Winters, how do you know that he’s connected to Ms. Ninian?”George remained silent for a while without answering.Could he say this was a man’s sixth sense?As a control freak hovering over his sisters, he was extremely sensitive over these matters.“He saved Ninian when she was in trouble p
In the restaurant’s private room, Everett speedily typed on the laptop’s keyboard, creating rhythmic sounds.Ninian leaned next to him. When she saw codes on the screen that she did not understand, she felt a little lost.“What is this?”“I’m paying attention to information on your family. Harold has put aside his research and bought a flight ticket to Ufrya. I guess he’s going to catch you,” Everett explained. But he did not stop typing. He tapped on the keyboard as he said, “George just increased the royalty from a project that he has with the Craig family to 20%. Ninian, there’ll be a tough war for us very soon. Are you afraid?”Ninian widened her eyes, and surprise filled her watery eyes.However, her eyes crinkled in amusement very soon. “I’m not afraid. I find it exciting!”Everett had decided to fight the three of them alone!How amazing!Could a slave like her, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally salvage the situation and become superior?Everett looked at
She wanted to seek Harold in the afternoon to solve this problem.Ninian then forwarded all the messages from Paul to Harold.Then, she successfully received three question marks from him.Ninian did not explain. She just replied. [Hal, this is the schoolmate who has been going after me.]Harold was shocked.He had just returned from the laboratory and walked into the house. When he saw his sister’s message, he instantly became enraged.What kind of brat dared to set his mind on his baby sister?Did that brat think all the Winters family members were dead?Harold used his power to start stealing projects and resources from the Whittle family straight away. Within half an hour, his subordinate called him and said that the Whittle family could not bear it any longer. They fell apart, and their share prices dropped drastically.Harold was puzzled.Was that it? Was this a joke? What the heck?It was like an elephant stepping on an ant. They were too weak to be played with.Wh
Everett would not tell Ninian about the darkness that he had hidden in his heart.Over the years, he had figured out the characters of the Winters family members as he guarded her, and he nearly understood them completely.For the Winters family members, this was definitely not a good thing. It might seem like a threat.However, he could not stop his stalking. He cared about Ninian, so he paid insane attention to the people around her.Sometimes, dirty and unspoken thoughts would occupy his mind.He wanted all of them to disappear so that both of them would be left in the world. Nobody would disturb them again.Right then, he heard clear and melodious laughter. Ninian’s watery eyes shone, and her laughter was like a breeze that blew away those filthy thoughts that he had been suppressing.It also brought him back to this reality and his human body.Everett secretly breathed out and got rid of the gloominess in his heart. He held his phone and sent out the last message.At the
“Harold’s coming over?“Yes, okay. We’ll handle it. You don’t have to tell George.”After Melody hung up, she frowned slightly. She seemed a little absentminded.“Mel, what are you thinking about?” Brooklyn asked with concern. His handsome face was filled with curiosity.“I’m wondering if this has been planned by Everett.” Melody frowned and said, “Involve Harold and pull him to his side before he takes down George and Alden...“I wonder if he knew that George would ask Harold to come to my place and also knew that George would be suspicious of Grapie’s whereabouts, so he changed the robot’s program and delivered it in advance.“Every step has been so precise but also dangerous. It’s like walking on a wire. If he makes one wrong move, he’ll lose everything. Is this kind of person really suitable for Grapie? Have I made a mistake?”Melody felt a little lost and even doubted herself.“How can that be?” Brooklyn comforted her. “You’re supporting your sister’s pursuit for freedom a
Brooklyn instantly blushed.He dared not look at Melody’s serious gaze either.He quickly thought about it and felt that this might be a great opportunity for him to appropriately confess his feelings for her and let her slowly adapt to him.But before Brooklyn could answer, he heard Melody’s voice again.“You don’t have one, right?” Melody’s clear gaze was firm. “You’re such a good boy, so you won’t get into a relationship so early!”After Brooklyn choked on his words for a long while, he blurted out, “I’m not young anymore. I’m already twenty-three.”He may be Melody’s junior, but he was just three months younger than her. Besides, he matured early, and he was brilliant. He was both mentally and emotionally more mature than his peers.However, in Melody’s eyes, it was still considered early for him to fall in love.Brooklyn wanted to just give up and live his life like this. Who would have known that his senior would miss his point?Brooklyn hunched his shoulders and stroked
[If you dare to go after my baby again, I’ll kill you.]Right after he received an anonymous message, the company was suddenly attacked. All of this proved that Ninian had something to do with it.He had just started to pursue Ninian, but she had given him a really big surprise!Who was the person behind Ninian? Everett? Would Everett use the Craig family’s power to attack the Whittle family for a woman who had no power and status?No matter what, Paul dared not believe that Ninian would be capable enough to make Everett fall for her deeply!If he had known better, he would not have gone after her to avoid this unexpected disaster in his family.When Paul recalled the culprit, he immediately took out his phone and made a call.“You asked me to threaten Ninian with those photos, but Everett has attacked me! Our company is suffering a great amount of loss now. You have to come up with a solution for me!”“Why are you rushing?” A female voice rang out from the other end of the lin
