‘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
“You’ve tried to hide it from them for so long before. I’m just afraid that they won’t let it slide.” Duncan frowned. “If they go too far, don’t put up with it. Fight back, and if something happens, I’ll support you.”Everett felt amused when he heard this. He just agreed without talking back to him, which was a rare sight. Duncan seemed a little restless. He was more anxious than Everett, who wanted to meet his future brothers-in-law.“I need to check if we have enough money for a dowry for the Winters family.” He said, “If you can make that girl give you her hand in marriage, I’ll give her half of the land the Craig family owned as a dowry.”Everett smiled and shook his head.“Don’t worry. I’ve saved some money myself. I can still afford some betrothal gifts.”‘It’s just that, right now, this is not the biggest problem.’Everett lowered his gaze, looking a little down. ‘A few days ago, Ninian was in danger because of me. The Craig family saw this with their own eyes. What’s
Duncan returned to his indifferent demeanor and went downstairs to welcome the Winters family personally. At that exact moment, George and the other Winters siblings entered the building. Immediately, a smile appeared on his stern face as he greeted him, “George, welcome! It’s been a long while!”George stretched out his hand and showed a refined and impeccable smile. They shook hands as he said, “Mr. Craig, you’re being too polite.”The two chatted for a while, and finally got to the main point.“Ninian had an accident at the banquet a few days ago, and your brother saved her life. So, we’re here as a family to visit and thank him.”George’s remark estranged their relationship with the Craig family. It made them look like they were here solely here to visit and thank Everett, that was all. As for why Ninian got into the accident, everyone knew it by heart without needing to point it out clearly. Duncan narrowed his eyes when he noticed George’s unfriendliness.He smiled
Ninian replayed the scene of Everett jumping off the building in her head like a looping nightmare. Even right now, as she thought about it, she could feel her chest tighten again and her breathing became rapid. She forcibly suppressed her emotions as she followed after her siblings. After they entered the exclusive elevator, they went straight to the floor where Everett’s ward was. After all, it is a private hospital owned by the Craig family. The ward where Everett stayed had a wonderful, natural environment.It was like a huge suite, and even after a group of people walked in, it did not look crowded at all.Harold was acquainted with Everett, but because he was still not on good terms with George and Alden, he did not dare to walk up front. He followed them from behind. When George and Alden walked into the ward, they saw a young man standing in the middle of the ward.Even though Everett was a young man, he looked level-headed and exceptional. His gaze looked calm and d
‘How dare he touch Grapie like this right in front of us?!‘Are we nothing to you?’Alden’s gaze was cold. He had a strong urge to take Everett’s hand off Ninian.Everett knew that he had lost his composure. He pursed his lips, let go of Ninian’s hand, and took a step back. But Ninian held on to him. She held his hand and gently shook her head, signaling that she was okay. He did not expect her to fight back in front of her siblings. He looked surprised and was at a loss.The two of them stared at each other in silence. The rest of the Winters siblings became restless. “Grapie, what are you doing?” Harold was the first to exclaim. He approached her and grabbed her. “Let go! Let go now!”George pursed his lips and his expression was cold. “Ninian Winters, come here.”Harold quickly pulled Ninian and made her stand behind George. He stepped forward, standing in between Everett and her. Duncan, who was standing nearby, had a different reaction from the Winters’ siblings.
Duncan’s expression darkened slightly. He looked at Everett with a troubled, but worried gaze.Ninian also pushed Harold away before she moved forward.When she saw Everett’s off gaze, she felt extremely anxious. Her voice was even hoarse and unpleasant. “Wait… for me…” Her voice made Everett become clearly stunned. Then, the darkness in his eyes instantly disappeared. He stared into her eyes, and he asked with an uncertain tone, “Ninian, what happened to your voice?”Ninian’s eyes turned red. She bit her bottom lip without speaking again.Everett’s gaze instantly became dark. The corners of his eyes also turned slightly red. He firmly said, “Speak again. I want to hear you.”Ninian opened her mouth, but she could not make a sound. Her tears just fell from her eyes.Duncan also understood that there was something wrong. When he glanced at the Winters siblings, he saw sadness in their expressions. They could not possibly hide that sadness.He could only look at George.George’
“But…” Harold wanted to speak up, but he was interrupted by Melody. “I don’t want to hear so many excuses. I just hope that we can respect my sister’s opinion.”The Winters brothers’ expressions froze at the same time. They looked at each other, and they relented in unison after they saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.Alden was the first to leave. Harold looked at the others before helplessly shaking his head and leaving.George looked at Ninian’s pale face, and he wanted to say something, but he did not speak in the end. He just stroked her head to comfort her before he immediately left.Melody sighed in relief. When she raised her head, she saw Ninian’s happy and grateful gaze.“Have a nice chat.” Melody sighed before she walked out.Duncan naturally did not object. He silently walked out of the room and closed the door for them.The noisy environment instantly became silent.Ninian and Everett stood still without making any move.Ninian stared at Everett’s face de
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,
