It was a huge amount of money!
âThe Everettâ was amazing! He had to be with Ninian forever!
Paul should just get lost!
Ninian and Everett walked at the front while Zayn and Lana walked at the back.
While Lana felt good about Everett, Zayn pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He softly said, âI heard that Paul came here and had a conflict with Ms. Winters. Do you know what happened?â
Lana was overwhelmed by the mug. When she was suddenly questioned, she became totally defenseless. She just said, âDonât talk about it! Paul Whittle is a pervert! Heâs insane! He actuallyâ¦â
She instantly stopped talking.
When she saw Zaynâs shrewd gaze, she immediately covered her mouth!
Ninian wanted to solve this on her own. If Ninian did not take the initiative to tell Everett, she could not reveal their secret! She could not be blinded by the profit and betray her revolutionary friendship with Ninian!
Lana smiled and pleasantly said, âHe⦠He just came to greet Ninian. I also donât know the details.
Youâll have to ask Ninian.â
Something crossed Zaynâs eyes. He did not expect this girl who looked innocent and naive to actually respond so quickly.
He hid the shrewdness in his eyes before he smiled warmly and said, âItâs okay, Iâm just asking. Donât be nervous.â
Lana secretly mocked him. How could she not be nervous?
To avoid being set up in the conversation and being a third wheel, Lana did not have dinner with them.
Instead, she left halfway through.
In the restaurant, Ninian and Everett were sitting in a room with excellent privacy while waiting for their food to be served.
Everett had brought his laptop along. At this time, he was typing on the keyboard and working.
âEverett, what are you busy with?â Ninian asked. Besides acting, he seemed to always be busy. He nearly did not have any personal time.
âSome work in Craig Corporation, andâ¦â Everett paused for a while before he chuckled in a low voice.
âAnd some collaborations with my future eldest brotherâinâlaw.â
âHmm?â When Ninian registered what he said, she instantly widened her eyes. âDo you meanâ¦â
âYour eldest brother, George Winters.â Everettâs expression was filled with some helplessness and admiration. He said, âThe Craig family has been having some business with the Winters family, and my brother, Duncan Craig, has been in charge of them. But now, George seems to be trying something out with Craig Corporation, so my brother has handed the business to me.â
âHuh?â Ninian felt slightly worried and asked, âDoes George know about our relationship?â
âI donât think so, but he must be suspecting something,â Everett said. âLast time, in Ufrya, I set up some traps to deviate George and Aldenâs tracking, but Alden is a genius on the Internet. He was able to discover traces of the Craig family.â
Ninian looked worried. She wrinkled her nose and said, What should we do? If my brothers find out about us, theyâll definitely oppose our relationship.â
With how strict her brothers were toward Melody and her, they would not agree with them being together based on Everettâs health alone.
(C Thinking about this, Ninian felt extremely agitated and also irritated for some reason.
âDonât panic. Iâm here.â Everett pinched her nose, and his expression was filled with doting affection.
Ninian felt slightly relaxed, but Everettâs phone suddenly rang.
Her expression changed slightly after she took a glance at the screen.
The incoming call showed Georgeâs number.
Everett was about to answer, but Ninian held his hand.
âDonât answer.â Ninian pouted with a pitiful gaze. âIâm scaredâ¦â
