Twenty minutes, as mentioned by Zayn in the call, had already passed, yet Everett had not arrived.Ninian’s heart became tightly clenched as a result.She obediently followed the bodyguards and walked toward the pavilion from the stone path in the garden.Soon, she stood in front of the man who resembled Everett.When she looked at him from a close distance, the 80% similar face gave her a visual impact as well.This man looked strangely young, like he was just in his thirties.He and Everett similarly owned handsome faces, but his features were not as noble and cold as Everett’s. His features were filled with ruthlessness, though.It was hard to cover up even with a friendly smile, thus it made him look more hypocritical.The two people behind him were considered Ninian’s old friends.Their gaze on her was filled with hatred and grievance too. The only difference was Agnes’ more cynical attitude and Paul’s heightened paranoia.But Ninian directly ignored them.She did not n
However, she continued to look shy and said, “Thank… Thank you for the compliment.”When Rowan heard this, the contempt in his eyes became stronger.When he noticed that Ninian seemed to let her guard down slowly, he purposely chatted with her and complimented her. When she finally smiled, he opened up the main topic of their conversation.“I hear that you’re in a relationship with my nephew. Do you know about his disease?”Coldness crossed Ninian’s heart.He was truly aiming for Everett.“Do you mean his slight paranoia?” Ninian looked a little embarrassed and said, “I know about it, and I can accept it. But my family might have a different opinion, so we’re still working hard.”“Paranoia?” Rowan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke.It was only after a while that he looked at Ninian’s anxious gaze and said, “So, you don’t know the truth, do you?”“The truth?” Ninian’s heart tightened. She thought that she could roughly ask about these matters. “What truth?” she asked f
The voice attracted the attention of everyone in the pavilion.“Everett… Everett Craig!”When Paul saw Everett, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. His expression instantly changed, and he let go of Ninian’s hand hastily.Ninian moved out of his grasp and immediately looked at Everett. Her eyes could not help but become teary, and her vision became blurry.For some reason, the moment she saw him, she felt conflicted and wanted to cry.Perhaps she was happy that he was fine and had reached the place safely. Perhaps she was happy that he had shown up in time and protected her once again. Perhaps she could imagine how cruel the past was when she only heard a part of it.At that moment, she felt extremely gloomy, but she also felt joy, grief, and sympathy for him.“Don’t cry.” By then, Everett had already walked up to her. His gaze was affectionate as he held her in his arms and gently kissed her soft hair.“Baby, I’m sorry! I’m late!”Harold, who had rushed over together with him,
He quirked his eyebrows and said in surprise, “What? How could this happen? Mr. Winters, don’t be anxious. I’ll help you to ask about it.”As he spoke, he turned sideways and asked the bodyguard, “What happened to Mr. Winters?”The bodyguard respectfully answered, “We don’t know.”Rowan turned back and looked at Harold. He flashed an apologetic smile and said, “Mr. Winters, you see… Did you misunderstand anything?”“You!” Harold’s expression instantly changed. When he wanted to move forward, he was pulled by someone.When he turned around, he saw a pair of cold and profound eyes, and the hatred in the eyes could nearly burn people.“I’ll leave Ninian to you,” Everett said indifferently. After he pushed Ninian into Harold’s arms, he directly walked up to Rowan.Ninian looked slightly anxious.However, Harold just glanced at Everett coldly and frowned. He did not object. Instead, he held Ninian’s shoulders, moved backward, and took her to a safe zone.At the pavilion, two men
Everett’s eyes were already red at the moment. He was like a beast that had targeted his prey, totally irrational.He moved forward again and lifted Rowan who was lying on the ground motionlessly. Then, he raised his hand and held it like a knife in an attempt to ruthlessly hit Rowan’s neck artery.“Everett! Be careful!”Everett turned back, and his pupils instantly shrank.The bodyguards rushed forward from the side, and all of them held sharp knives.Everett curled his lips into a sneer. “You’re finally here.”He knew it. Why would a timid person like Rowan make such a desperate attempt to fight him alone?He neatly avoided them, while Rowan also took this opportunity to run back to the bodyguards’ protection.Everett spat out some blood.He was also hit during the fight, but compared to Rowan’s injuries, his injuries did not matter.Everett raised his hand to wipe the blood off the corners of his lips before he snorted and said, “Rowan Craig, you’re still shameless as usua
But this was different.Her anxiety reminded her that she could not leave!Once she left, the subsequent situation would go out of control.Everett would do anything to catch Rowan.And Rowan would also fight him with death.Thinking of these, her teeth could not help but tremble.She looked at Everett and stared at his cold expression across the crowd. “No, I’m not leaving,” she said firmly.As if Everett heard her words, his expression changed slightly. He turned back and looked at her.“Go back,” he said.Ninian shook her head. She stared at him and asked, “Everett, what are you planning to do?”Everett did not answer, but he quickly gulped.“Tsk! What a beautiful love. You can go hand in hand in life and death.” They heard a sarcastic voice as Rowan sneered.His expression was distorted, and he said, “This is really disgusting! Hypocritical! Fake!”Everett turned back and glared at Rowan. His gaze was completely cold.“When someone is disgusting, his love is naturally
“Rowan Craig.” Everett stared at him coldly and said, “I want to challenge you as a member of the Craig family.”Right after he said that, all the bodyguards on the site were shocked.Even Rowan was in disbelief.“What did you say? Are you challenging me as a Craig family member?” Rowan nearly chuckled. “Little brat, do you know what you’re talking about?”Zayn’s expression instantly darkened. “Mr. Craig, please remain calm!”Yet, Everett ignored him. Instead, he stared into Rowan’s eyes unrelentingly.He said, “I’m very clear about my actions. So, are you brave enough to accept?”His words ticked Rowan off. He had an intense look and even seemed to be thinking in depth.Ninian looked at Harold helplessly.What did this mean? She did not understand at all.Did Everett just place a huge bet?Harold’s expression was profound. He stared at Everett and Rowan who were in a stalemate before he softly explained, “There’s a rule in the Craig family. When family members have argument
But Everett remained calm.Rowan narrowed his eyes and coldly said, “Go ahead. Be quick. Don’t delay my gathering with my nephew.”The implication was clear. He wanted his bodyguards to remove the bombs.The bodyguards behind him seemed unwilling, but they dared not say another word. All of them just left.Soon, the initially crowded pavilion became empty.Even Agnes and Paul, who had been lying on the ground, were dragged out by the bodyguards to make more space.Other than Everett and Rowan, only Harold and Ninian were left there.Everett finally looked at Ninian with a gentle expression. “Baby, I need you to keep an eye on them for me.”However, Ninian shook her head, her big almond eyes becoming watery.She knew that Everett wanted to dismiss her.But how could she leave?Rowan had given up his own undercard to gamble with Everett in this duel. Was Everett’s chances of winning really high?What if something happened to him?What should she do?“Be a good girl. I’ll be
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,
