George handed her the phone, and she tapped on the screen. [Harold...]This took a lot of effort from her, and it seemed that if she was not careful, she would aggravate the injury on her back.George figured out what she meant and quickly said, “Harold is fine. I won’t punish him. I initially just wanted him to suffer ten strikes to make sure he learns his lesson, but I think I’ll just let it go.”George was not lying. He had been truly furious and wanted to teach Harold a lesson, but he only intended to give him ten strikes.He had planned to bear the remaining twenty strikes himself.After all, George was supposed to be in charge while their father was away. His siblings had ended up like this because he had not been strict enough with them, and he had the unavoidable responsibility of supervising them.But for the moment, in order to prevent Harold from getting punished, his sister would try to shield him, even with her weak body. George could not bear it and was unwilling to
There was one simple line on the screen.[George, Harold, help me ask how Everett is doing.]The word “Everett” promptly ticked the Winters brothers off. Ninian was like this because she was dragged into the Everett family’s affairs this time.By following the family doctor’s advice that Ninian must not be traumatized anymore, everyone in the Winters family hoped that she would not contact Everett again.The Craig family was still searching for Rowan’s whereabouts, which proved that Rowan’s influence was far greater than they had initially thought.He could stay in hiding for many years and cause such a mess when he revealed himself. He could even completely disappear again.He was not an easy target.George would never let his sister get involved in the Craig family’s conflict again!Moreover, there was a problem with Everett’s own emotions. George had seen how he acted when he lost control over himself. It was almost equivalent to a beast that had lost its mind and was bein
George understood how Colin was feeling and pitied him. They did grow up together, after all. However, he did not say anything. He patted Colin’s shoulder and said, “We won’t bring this up ever again. Don’t worry.”Colin nodded. “Sir, you always keep your promise. Please protect Young Lady Ninian.”“Hmm.”George returned to his study room once everything settled down. Less than half an hour later, Harold sneaked into the room. “Um, George…”George was not surprised to see him here. He cocked his eyebrow and said casually, “Why are you here?”“You mentioned you’ll contact the Craig family and ask about Everett’s situation. You also said that you’ll help them to deal with Rowan. Is that true?”“What are you up to?”“Hehe, I’m just curious.” Harold smiled and said, “By right, shouldn’t you be hating the Craig family? Why are you willing to take the initiative to find out how Everett was doing and help them find Rowan? We don’t usually stick our noses into another family’s aff
Ninian was not able to sleep well that night. The thought of Everett falling off the balcony was torturing her. As she recalled it, she had a feeling that she had a similar memory many years back. At that time, she was still young. It was vague, and she could not recall the memory in detail.There was this teenage boy who was courted by many people.They would also meet on the balcony. He might look skinny and short, but he grew tall pretty quickly. He did not talk much and would always watch her and hear her laugh. Her memory was so hazy that when she woke up from her dream, she could barely remember it. When she opened her eyes, she was laying sideways, facing the wall. She was panting, gasping for breath.“Grapie? You’re awake!”She turned over and saw George standing beside her bed. He tucked her in gently. “George…” She spoke in a hoarse voice, but he gestured for her to stop talking. “Don’t talk. Drink some warm water first.”He took a cup of warm water and p
George pursed his lips. He did not say anything as he felt a sour feeling in his heart. ‘My dear sister is blindly in love with another man. How could I be okay with that?’He changed the topic as he said, “Do you want to get some more sleep? Al and Mel will be back soon. I’ll wake you up when they arrive, okay?”[They are coming back too?] Ninian looked shocked. She typed on her phone and asked, [Did Al… know about me and Everett?]“I don’t think anyone can hide it from him. He already knows about it, and he’s on his way back. He’ll probably be home any minute from now.”Ever since she gave Alden’s contact number to one of the female artists from the entertainment industry, she had been over the moon and simped on him. Even so, she was blacked out and completely ignored by him. Finally, she gritted her teeth and texted, [Mr. Winters, Ninian is the one who gave me your contact number.]Sure enough, almost immediately, she was unblocked. Before she could message him, her phon
Ninian looked anxious. ‘This matter is obviously my own problem, but instead of asking me to take accountability, Harold took the responsibility. It’s unfair to him.‘This makes me feel even guiltier.’When Mrs. Tuffin noticed Ninian was trying to stand up, she hurriedly said, “Oh, please don’t move around! Your wound still hasn’t recovered.”Her siblings, who were outside the room, suddenly became quiet when they heard some noise from her room. Alden and Melody swiftly pushed the door and entered the room. Behind them were George, looking indifferent, and Harold, who looked aggrieved. “Grapie, you’re awake!”Melody stepped forward first. She squatted beside Ninian’s bed and held her hand, “Do you feel any pain? Are you feeling any better?”Alden was standing beside her. Although he didn’t say anything, he looked worried. “I’m… I’m fine…” Ninian said. Her voice was so hoarse that it made everyone worried. “Drink some water first.” Alden had already opened the thermos cup
‘I’m a grown-up now. I shouldn’t let other people bear the consequences of my actions. I might be in pain, but Hal feels the same too.‘I’m the one who begged Hal to help me. I even got him entangled after that. How can I let him bear the punishment alone?’Everyone in the room could not bear seeing Ninian in this state. Mrs. Tuffin could not help but cry. ‘Poor Young Lady Melody.’ Under such a tense atmosphere, Alden crouched down on one knee, and looked at Ninian seriously, “Grapie, are you sure you want to accept the punishment?”Her eyes welled up in tears and nodded vigorously.“Alright, then. Since you’re willing to admit that it’s your doing, I won’t be biased.” Alden said, “As a punishment, you must live abroad and never return.”Ninian was stunned. Alden continued, “Since this incident happened because of you, the easiest solution is to remove you from this place.”“We’re all worried that Rowan will attack you again and that you might be in danger again because of
‘God knows how frightened and helpless I felt when I saw how distressed Ninian was and how Rowan pounced at her with a knife in the surveillance video!‘I rarely ever felt this helpless in my life!‘It’s like I’m watching a tragedy happening in front of me, yet I couldn’t do anything at all.‘So what if I’m a genius? So what if I’m protecting the country in secret? ‘I can’t even protect my own sister. ‘Now that I have a chance, I will never put her in danger anymore.‘But when I first proposed this idea, it was rejected by George.‘As the eldest, George understands his brothers and sisters’ feelings. When I tried to punish Harold and even forced Ninian like this, he didn’t come forward and stop me. Instead, he gave me the power to carry on.’At that moment, George spoke up, “Al, I approve Grapie’s request.”Alden looked up at him with his bloodshot eyes.Melody and Harold looked at George. They were surprised, but they also understood why George had made the decision. Geo
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,
