Chapter 1188 The phone rang for a long time, but Harold did not dare pick it up.
In the end, he had no other choice. He closed his eyes, picked up the call, and answered while stuttering, âG Georgeâ¦â
SWE The person on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment before she chuckled in a clear and pleasant way. âWhatâs wrong with you, Harold?â
When he heard the familiar voice, Haroldâs eyes flew open in disbelief. âGrapie? Why did you call?â
âGeorge didnât call me? Why was I panicking, then?â âYeah. Itâs me. Didnât you see the caller ID?â
Ninianâs sweet voice traveled over. It was laced with amusement.
Haroldâs face instantly turned red. He felt awkward.
The reporters whom he ignored still surrounded him. Harold waved his hand at them to chase them away. âGo. Shoo!â
As he spoke, he started ordering the hotel staff, âGet rid of all the flowers. Theyâre embarrassing!â
Once he said that, he returned to the suite and slammed the door shut.
The reporters looked at each other at a loss outside the door.
TE AL âWas that the voice of one of the Winters daughters? I wonder which one of them it is. Her voice is so nice.â âYoung Lady Melody is an aloof beauty, and she often serves as a guest on major music events outside the country. Iâve seen her videos before. Itâs not quite the same as that voice.â
âSo, was that the most pampered youngest daughter of the Winters family who also happens to have her identity remain the most secretive?â
âHer voice is quite familiar. I think Iâve heard it somewhere before!â
âFigure out her identity! Information about the youngest daughter of the Winters family is more valuable than Young Master Harold!â
Once the reporters found their target, they left and intended to figure out Ninianâs identity. Meanwhile , while he stood behind the door, Harold had no idea that his precious sister was being targeted. He wanted to cry as he held his phone. âMy little princess, you gave me a scare! I thought that George figured out that I had returned to the country through the trending hashtag on Twitter and was calling me to kill me.â
âHey, why are you panicking so much?â Ninian said with a grin. âGeorge is in a closedâdoor meeting. He wonât come up without four to five hours gone. He doesnât know that youâre trending.â âWhat?â Harold pondered over her words and registered what she said. âSeriously, Grapie, do you know what Everett did? You little brat, how could you do this to your own brother with an outsider?! Ah! Iâm so mad!â
âIâll give you a kiss, Harold. Donât be mad anymore.â Ninian acted cute and spoke in a soft voice, âEverett said that you gave me a surprise, so we have to give you something in return. We have to reciprocate favors, right?â âHmph! That guy is so petty!â Harold huffed. âTell him to wait. Iâm not going to admit defeat like this!â âDonât be mad, Harold,â Ninian said, âEverett still has something for you. Do you want it?â âHeh! I donât want it!â .
âFine. Everett heard that you ran into some problems in a research project in your lab lately and couldnât solve them no matter what. He was just thinking about helping you,â Ninian said mournfully.
âLooks like you donât need it.â
âWhat? Wait! Hang on just a second!â Harold called out to her. âHow did he know that I have troubles in the lab? And are you sure that he can help me?â
T Haroldâs voice was full of doubt, but it also contained hope and curiosity that he could not hide. Ninianâs eyes crinkled up in amusement at the other side of the phone. She exchanged a look with Everett, as if they already knew this would happen.
âI donât quite know about this. Why donât you talk to Everett? I think he can give you some good suggestions.â
