In the restaurantâs private room, Everett speedily typed on the laptopâs keyboard, creating rhythmic sounds. Ninian leaned next to him. When she saw codes on the screen that she did not understand , she felt a little lost. âWhat is this?â
âIâm paying attention to information on your family. Harold has put aside his research and bought a flight ticket to Ufrya. I guess heâs going to catch you,â Everett explained. But he did not stop typing. He tapped on the keyboard as he said, âGeorge just increased the royalty from a project that he has with the Craig family to 20%. Ninian, thereâll be a tough war for us very soon. Are you afraid?â
Ninian widened her eyes, and surprise filled her watery eyes.
However, her eyes crinkled in amusement very soon.â. Iâm not afraid. I find it exciting!â
Everett had decided to fight the three of them alone!
How amazing! Could a slave like her, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally salvage the situation and become superior?
Everett looked at her and also smiled.
He knew that she would not be afraid.
Ninian appeared soft and obedient, but the blood of the Winters family flowed in her body. She was definitely not that naive and submissive.
Despite being under her brothersâ strict control, she could still sneak back and be in a relationship. That proved how opinionated and witty she was. With her support and her being by his side , Everett felt that he had a higher possibility of winning.
âWhat are we going to do then?â Ninian asked excitedly.â Harold is going to catch me? Itâs so exciting!â
Everett could not help but chuckle in a low voice.
âWhy are you not nervous now?â
âYouâre here, right?â Ninian grinned and said, âIf you can beat them, Iâll cheer for you. If you canâtâ¦â
âWhat will happen?â âIâll pretend to surrender! Iâll pretend to be their undercover agent! Haha!â As Ninian spoke, she laughed. Her bright eyes were filled with tears, and they were misty and extremely attractive.
Something also flashed in Everettâs eyes as she smiled. âThatâs not okay,â he said. âEverything can be discussed when youâre with me. If you leave me, I will make all kinds of mistakes.â
His voice was extremely soft, as though he was forcefully suppressing the beast in his heart without letting others realize that there was something wrong.
Ninian did not seem to notice anything. She just held her face, sat beside him, and said, âYou have to buck up and work hard to rescue me from the castle!â
âDonât worry.â Everettâs eyes were full of battle intent. âI will,â he said.
He would ground her in the place that uniquely belonged to him.
When Ninian saw that he was typing codes seriously, she no longer disturbed him. She also did not want to ask him how he planned to solve the issue of Harold going to Ufrya and George wanting to call Melody and her later.
She hummed a song while she took out her phone and started surfing the Internet.
She suddenly received a message on her WhatsApp. After she tapped it open, her expression changed slightly.
It was a message from Paul. He was urging her to make a decision.
[Have you made up your mind? Do you want to be with me?]
The message also came with a lot of pictures, which demonstrated the wealth and power of the Whittle family and the benefit that he could bring to her.
The corners of Ninianâs lips twitched slightly, and she was instantly speechless.
Not to mention her personal wealth and the profit given by Winters Corporation every year, the pocket money and presents given by her brothers and sister on her birthday every year were already more than the Whittle familyâs properties, okay?
There was really something wrong with Paulâs head.
Ninian pouted.
Since Harold was so free and ready to catch her in Ufrya, she could find something for him to work on.
