Duncan looked similar to Everett. The only difference was that Everett looked more introverted and subdued. As for Duncan, he gave off a really imposing feeling and made people feel pressured when they were around him.Duncan took a glance at Ninian and Harold. He greeted them with a nod and asked, “Where’s Everett?”“He… He’s at the hotel pavilion, fighting with Rowan. He challenged him…”“What on earth is he doing?!” Duncan’s expression was as cold as ice. He continued, “You’re grounded in the forbidden room for three months!”Zayn’s face turned pale. Even so, he did not fight back. He said in a soft voice politely, “Yes, sir!”As Duncan was about to head to the hotel, he stopped and turned to look at Ninian. Her face was pale. “Do you want to come along?”Harold’s expression changed slightly, and before he could stop her, she said firmly, “Okay!”Duncan looked impressed for a moment. He raised his hand. “Get down from there.”Ninian approached him, grabbed his hand, and ho

Everett looked timid and forlorn. It was as if he did not want the girl in front of him to get disappointed in him. So, he cautiously stepped forward. Ninian looked overjoyed. Right at the moment before he held her hand, Duncan, who was standing at the side, yelled, “Everett, look out!”Everett immediately turned, but before he could even see Rowan clearly, Rowan had already stood up and kicked him to the floor. In the next second, he pounced at Ninian. “Ninian!” Harold, who rushed over to the scene, shouted with a cracked voice. Ninian watched as Rowan pounced at her. Her face turned pale, and she took a step back. However, there was no use. He was too quick. Even Duncan, who had rushed over, could not stop him. At that critical moment, Everett grabbed his waist directly from behind at an unimaginable speed before he could stab Ninian.He slammed him to the side ruthlessly. They landed on the floor with full force. Once again, they were on the edge of the open-ai

“Bring me the mace. I need to punish you according to our house rules.”Harold was stunned when he heard this. He lifted his head abruptly. “G-George…”Colin brought out a quaint box and took out a huge mace. It was so huge that it looked like it could crush someone’s bones. “Harold, you disobeyed me, secretly brought Grapie back to Cairnstan, made Mel keep this a secret with you, got her involved with the Craig family, and got into such huge trouble. Tell me, do you deserve this punishment?” George said each word with immense force. As he spoke, his voice became as cold as ice. Harold shuddered as his face turned extremely pale. This was his first time seeing George get so mad. Currently, George held the most authority in the Winters family. He was the head of the Winters family. Harold was unable to refute his words. Even though his eyes were filled with fear, he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, I do!”“Thirty strokes for him,” Harold commanded. “Sir…” Colin looke

‘Why would George... ask this kind of question?’During this ordinary conversation, George did not give off the imposing aura unique to people who held superior positions anymore, and his expression was not calm either.It was then that Harold realized how young his brother was. ‘He... has a vulnerable side, too.’George, Harold, Alden, and Melody all came from the same mother, and George was only born a few minutes before them.But he assumed responsibility for everything.Whenever the people important to him ran into trouble or caused trouble, he was always their guardian god and shield. To his parents, he was their successor, the one his parents dared to entrust everything to.To his younger siblings, he was like a deity in their hearts. They depended on him but were also afraid of him. Thus, there were many things they were afraid to share with him.How sad would their big brother be if he found out about all those things?“I’m sorry, George,” said Harold with red-rimmed

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
