Alden’s gaze was sharp and dangerous, while Everett looked calm. He then explained, “I’m sorry, Mr. Winters. I didn’t mean to look into your family’s secret. I found out about it by accident when I looked into Ninian’s disappearance when she was a child.“When I learned that Rowan had planted a biochip in me, it reminded me of Mrs. Winters. We were both victims, and be it for my sake or Ninian’s mother’s sake, I want to get to the bottom of this so that no one has to suffer like us in the future. So, we must join hands to root out the group that has been working behind this project of theirs.”After a long time, Alden’s vigilant and hostile gaze gradually faded. He then said, “You mentioned you’ve been following this case. So, do you have any clues about them?”“Yes.” Everett said without beating around the bush, “When Rowan was plotting to manipulate my body, I found some clues regarding his dealings and contacts.”“You have the clues. Why didn’t you investigate them yourself,
‘Oh no, has Alden gone mad because he’s too angry?!’Ninian turned and saw Everett’s sly gaze. He then asked, ‘How did I do?”Ninian looked at him in resignation. “Duncan will hate you for it.”‘He put up a weak front and sacrificed his brother to get Alden’s approval.‘Why did I even believe that he’s a righteous person?’As they chatted a little more, his expression suddenly changed. He smiled and said, “Honey, I’m tired. You can go home first. I’ll rest.”“You’re tired? Are you hurt?” Ninian stood up nervously.“I’m fine.” He shook his head with a calm expression. “Be good. Go home. Go and watch Duncan and Alden fight. See if they get injured.”“Okay, then.” Ninian raised her hand and touched his head as she said, “Just call me if you’re feeling pain somewhere. I’ll accompany you.”“Okay, I will.”She smiled and left. After the basement door closed behind her, her expression changed. Before the people outside reacted, she turned and took a look at Everett again before
“I knew you'd come, girl.”Rowan said as he laughed loudly, stretching the wound on his body. His expression was sinister and distorted with a hint of pain. His hoarse and mocking voice sounded like a ghost as it echoed in the empty secret room.Ninian looked at him coldly. After a while, she asked, “Are you done?”“Of course, not! I want to have the last laugh, too!” Rowan stared at her and smiled. “Are you here because you’re feeling sorry for your lover? Listen, if I want him alive, I will keep him alive. If I want him dead, I’ll make him kill himself! You better get on your knees and beg me. If you do, I’ll let him marry you. Or else you can watch him die!”When she heard this, she dug her fingernails into her palms under her sleeves. She forced herself to stay calm, and kept reminding herself, ‘Everett is currently locked up, and he can’t hurt himself. I must not get triggered by Rowan.’ She took a deep breath. She looked at him with an icy gaze and suddenly sneered, “Ar
Ninian’s eyes welled up immediately. She never would have guessed that Everett would try to bite his own tongue!Guilt slowly crept into her heart. She could not imagine what she would do if something bad happened to Everett as a result of her actions earlier.Duncan rushed over quickly with a towel in hand and forced Everett’s mouth open. There were already signs of bleeding within the mouth cavity.“Bite the towel, Everett!” Duncan said sharply. Everett continued to struggle and would not listen to any of the words.“Everett! Everett!” Ninian said anxiously while patting his face in an attempt to bring him back to consciousness. “Please listen to us, Everett. Open your mouth and bite the towel. Don’t worry, everything will be okay really soon!”Her words had an immediate effect. Despite being disoriented, Everett still obeyed and opened his mouth.Duncan quickly shoved the towel into his mouth. Ninian exhaled a sigh of relief. She even shed some tears of joy.Alden was w
When Rowan passes out, Everett could finally relax a little.“You can’t let him pass out as well,” Alden grumbled. “He has to stay awake and go meet Rowan in a normal state.”Only by convincing Rowan that the so-called chip is a hoax would they be able to completely destroy his psychological defences and reveal everything covered up behind the scenes.Otherwise, Everett would still have to endure some suffering.Both Duncan and Ninian fell silent after hearing that. Everett had already endured a lot while being tied up. How could he stand and face Rowan as if nothing had happened? It was an impossible idea. “We’ll talk about that later. Let’s take it slow for now,” Duncan lamented. “Everett has been through enough in these two days. I really can’t bring myself to force him to do it.”Also, it was not something that could not be forced. It was already difficult for a person under control to stay sane, let alone act unperturbed. “Where’s Everett’s laptop?” Alden asked. “He
“Oh no, I completely forgot about him...”Seeing the look on her face, Duncan hurriedly asked, “Who is it? Who’s still opposed to you and Everett getting together? Tell me, and I’ll give them a piece of my mind.”“You won’t be able to settle him, Duncan,” Ninian lamented. “That person is my dad.”“Your dad?”‘The business legend of the last generation, Duke Winters?’Duncan almost choked. Oh boy. He really could not deal with that man. Duncan immediately deflated. It was better for him to just leave Everett to deal with his father and mother-in-law when he got better.He decided to back out of this.Alden was nearly finished deciphering all the files acquired by Everett.The targeted location was a small town in Umerica.The other party had a professional team that specialized in researching this type of harmful chip in order to profit vastly. They were severely affected as a result of Adina’s incident, but they were not completely destroyed. Instead, they managed to s
Alden’s words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the secret room. Duncan was the first to stand up and asked, “What other way?”Ninian showed her eagerness as well, and even Everett, who had always been stoic, looked over.“George, my eldest brother, just called,” Alden explained. “He said that my parents had been conducting a study for years.“Now that the preliminary research has been successful, perhaps we can actually extract the implanted chip inside Everett’s body.” As soon as his words were out, Duncan’s face flushed with excitement. “I didn’t hear it wrongly, did I? What did you say? Can we remove the implanted chip in Everett’s body?!”“Alden? Is that true?” Ninian’s eyes were filled with disbelief as well. Everett’s expressions were a lot calmer than those two, but there were still unconcealable emotions swirling in his eyes.But he still remained composed. “Alden just said there’s a possibility, so we can still try it, but don’t set your expectat
“Stop crying, Grapie. I’ll help you solve all of your problems. My little princess must be happy at all times!” While stroking Ninian’s soft long hair, he expressed his distress. Ninian responded with a little whimper and nodded. “All right, don’t cry. There are so many people watching.” Adina laughed gently. “You’ll end up with an ugly face if you don’t stop crying.”Only then did Ninian come back to her senses. ‘Oh right! There are so many people watching.’She emerged from Adina’s arms flushed, her face red, and she was slightly awkward to meet everyone.Standing at the side was Everett, who had tidied himself up nicely. “Mr. And Mrs. Winters!” He walked over and politely said.Duke turned to face the source of the sound, and his gentle gaze sharpened in an instant. While releasing a degree of pressure, he asked, “So you’re Everett?”“Yes, Mr. Winters,” Everett said calmly, matching his gaze.“I heard you involved Grapie in an accident last time, causing her to lose her sp
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,
