novelxo Chapter 1176
Chapter 1176 Everett went through a rollercoaster of emotions and his feelings became complicated. He was moved by what Ninian had said.
'I know her family is very important to her. And now, she just said that I'm as important as her family.' He felt touched by her words and felt as if he was on cloud nine.
Even so, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
The better and kinder Ninian treats me, the more I feel myself plunging deeper into the darkness and guilt. 'I'm always walking on eggshells, afraid that one day, my true colors and vicious side would be exposed.
'I can't imagine the expression on her face when she finds out my true colors.'
He exhaled, suppressing the emotions in his chest.
'No, I must not let her find out my true colors.
'Paul is like my ticking time bomb. He can easily expose me.'
He was lost in his train of thought, trying to come up with countermeasures.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the set.
Ninian had become increasingly busier due to the
increase in the number of scenes she had to shoot. After Everett sent her, his expression turned gloomy.
"How's Paul?" Everett asked.
Zayn was stunned for a moment before responding, "One of his arms and legs is crippled. He's been tossed to the place you mentioned last night. The Whittle family reached out to us, but they didn't dare to rescue him, at least for now."
Everett stood up with his hands behind his back. He clenched his fists and let out a heavy sigh.
"Let him go," he said.
After saying this, he headed to the lounge area.
Zayn watched as he left, feeling shocked. Then, he figured out what was going on. He looked increasingly worried as he turned and looked in the direction where Ninian was at.
'It's a surprise to see The Everett will go to such an extent for the sake of Ninian.
'If they stay together longer, perhaps his shadows and shackles will disappear completely, and he will be able to become normal again.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and
called a contact name saved as "Chairman Craig".
Ninian had no idea about this. She put in the effort to finish shooting. It was only during the intermission that she heard what other people had been gossiping about. "Is Paul dead? I heard that he comes from a powerful family background!"
"I heard his arms and legs are broken. What a tragedy."
"He was thrown to a place ungoverned by any authority. It's a place where all crimes happen. Many people get swindled and killed there! It's so scary!"
"Oh my gosh! Aren't the Whittle family worried? Which powerful person would dare to do such a thing?!"
"Who else? Do you remember the last actress who offended a certain someone? Her legs were broken and to this day, she hasn't recovered yet!"
