[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
Harold was left speechless, and Lana was at a loss. “Ninian! What nonsense are you talking about?” Lana was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. She immediately stood up and tried to snatch her phone away.Ninian was clutching her phone tightly. After getting tickled by Lana, she giggled uncontrollably. Nerola shook her head when she saw this, feeling amused. “Pfft, this is scary. It’s so hard to deal with women.” At the end of the line, Harold sighed jokingly. All the anger in him had dissipated. After the call ended, Ninian finished her breakfast, and soon, Everett was waiting for her downstairs. As always, Zayn drove, while Everett and Ninian sat in the back. As she looked at Everett’s handsome, calm face, she narrowed her eyes and said, “Everett, is there anything you need to tell me?”He was stunned when he noticed how serious she looked. A trace of panic flashed through his profound gaze.‘Did she… find out about Paul?’He could not help but clutched his knee
Everett went through a rollercoaster of emotions and his feelings became complicated. He was moved by what Ninian had said. ‘I know her family is very important to her. And now, she just said that I’m as important as her family.’He felt touched by her words and felt as if he was on cloud nine. Even so, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness. ‘The better and kinder Ninian treats me, the more I feel myself plunging deeper into the darkness and guilt. ‘I’m always walking on eggshells, afraid that one day, my true colors and vicious side would be exposed. ‘I can’t imagine the expression on her face when she finds out my true colors.’He exhaled, suppressing the emotions in his chest.‘No, I must not let her find out my true colors.‘Paul is like my ticking time bomb. He can easily expose me.’ He was lost in his train of thought, trying to come up with countermeasures.Soon, the two of them arrived at the set.Ninian had become increasingly busier due to the increase in t
