“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
After Everett sent Ninian back to her apartment, he waited for a while.It was not until she switched on the lights in her room that he turned back, got into the car, and drove back to his house.Since he had been filming in the studio throughout the year, he had bought a house there so that he could live nearby.After he took his shower, he lay in bed. When he read the goodnight message sent by Ninian, the joy in his eyes became brighter.He scrolled down their conversation. It was all about the couple’s daily routine, and there were some selfies from Ninian.Earlier, she had told him with a smile that since he had kept a photo of her from so many years ago, he should keep her current photos.He smiled faintly while he saved her selfies one by one. He encrypted the album and locked them in his heart.Just then, someone knocked on his bedroom door.He hid the delight in the eyes and schooled his expression into his usual indifference. “Come in.”Zayn carried a metal plate and
Just as Zayn’s guard was raised, Everett’s gaze refocused, as if he had gradually returned to his senses. Even so, he still maintained an icy cold expression. “What do you think?”Zayn let out a sigh of relief when he heard Everett speak. ‘Luckily, he suppressed his emotions.‘Regardless of whether the medicine is working, or it’s Ms. Winters’ influence over him during this period of time, he’s able to rapidly suppress his emotions and control his mind when he encounters something that crosses his boundaries.‘This is a strategic breakthrough.’Zayn relaxed as he said, “The Whittle family’s company was attacked by the Craig family, and things aren’t looking well for them. If we were to act rashly once again, I don’t think we’ll be able to conceal your relationship with Ms. Winters.”Everett pursed his lips. A dark look appeared in his eyes.“Their goal for harming the Whittle family is most definitely due to an important reason, but it’s for a trivial goal that they hurt Paul,”
“Whittle Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy last night.” Nerola explained without hesitation. “And Paul seems to be missing. Some say that the company’s shareholders accidentally got him injured and he had gone abroad for treatment. In contrast, some say that he was caught by a mysterious organization and was taken to a place ungoverned by any authority. I’m still not sure about this. These are just what I heard from the rumors.” “Hey, I’ve also gotten news about Paul!” Lana, who just pulled out her phone and read through her notifications, exclaimed, “The crew set informed us that he won’t be participating in any future shooting.”“What?!”Ninian frowned as she wondered, ‘Did Harold do this? It’s impossible. He won’t act so ruthlessly.‘He might teach Paul and the Whittle family a lesson, but he will never hurt him too much or do anything that puts his life at risk.‘These rumors must be wrong.’“He won’t be participating in any future shooting? What about the previou
“You do have some additional scenes to shoot.” Everett did not elaborate any further as he continued, “I’m going to fetch you now. You’ll know once we reach the set.” “Oh, okay.” Ninian did not ask much. She just nodded obediently.She looked confused after she hung up. “You got additional scenes to shoot?!” Lana was overjoyed when she heard this. “Many people love your character. If you get more screen time, you’ll gain more fans!”Nerola nodded. “If you get additional scenes, this means that someone recommended you. Did The Everett do that?”Ninian shook her head and said certainly, “He would’ve talked to me about it first before doing anything.”At the back of her mind, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. It might have something to do with Paul’s disappearance.’Or new plots are added to replace Paul’s character, meaning his character and mine will be merged into one.’Ninian’s eyes twitch all of a sudden. She picked up her phone and gave Harold a call.
It was her sister, Melody. Ever since Melody returned, she rarely took the initiative to call Ninian. They had been keeping in touch through WhatsApp.‘It’s bright as day, and Melody is calling shortly after Harold found out about me returning to Cairnstan. Is the cat out of the bag already?’Ninian picked up the call guiltily. “Hello, Melody…”“Ninian Winters! Is your network connection better now?” On the other end, a male voice said as he gritted his teeth. Even so, his voice remained pleasant to the ear. ‘This voice is so familiar.’It was her dearest second brother, Harold. She was surprised, at first. Her expression gradually turned bitter. “You’re so cruel, Hal. You’ve even gone to Ufrya!”‘If Hal can get hold of Melody’s phone, this only means that he was with her now. ‘What’s more, he made Mel feel so guilty that she gave him her phone! This is horrifying!’Ninian took in a sharp breath. “What a sororal sisterhood you two have.” Harold gritted his teeth. He w
