Chapter 1072 Everett opened his eyes and met Ninian’s eyes.
Ninian could see a hint of frustration and boredom in his gaze.
‘He looks bored.
She was a little stunned.
‘I didn’t expect to see such emotion in him after getting the chance to see him again.
‘But why would he be bored?’
“Get ready. We’re starting soon.”
Everyone on the set started moving at a faster pace once the director spoke. Everett got up, and Ninian
did not have the energy to ponder on her emotion. She headed directly to the shooting area.
This drama was about the struggle between nations and beliefs. Ninian played Elliot White and Everett
played Abelardo Fitzgerald.
She had shoulder-length hair and wore a school uniform. Every little gesture she showed represented a

Her gaze was determined, and her tone was gentle and resolute. “If the government indulges in riches
and languishes in lavish lifestyles, the people suffer outside. The whole government is full of corruption.
It can’t protect the country or the people. The government is about to collapse, and the people are in
danger. We must forge a new path that is for the people.”
Everett looked at her solemnly with his dark pupil. His gaze was as deep as the sea.
He smiled contemptuously and put his hands in his pocket. He looked unruly and unrestrained. “How
are you going to forge a new path? How and what capital do you have to make it come true?
“Do you even know how society is now? There are separatists, plutocrats, state-owned businesses,
and four powerful families who control the entire industry.
“You’re just a woman. You’re powerless, have no rights, and only have a mere lofty ambition. You’ll be
easily crushed just by the command of someone powerful. Do you think you can truly forge a new path
that can save the country?”
He looked imposing, his gaze and the words he said felt as sharp as a knife.
Everyone on the set felt overwhelmed by it and held their breath subconsciously.
They all shifted their gaze to Ninian. ‘Can this delicate, beautiful girl play along with Everett’s acting?’ In
the camera, Everett stared at Ninian, and she did not try to avoid his gaze at all.
She was already in her character and was immersed in the drama. She was practically Elliot White, the
woman who would do anything for the sake of her nation and belief, even if she needed to shed her
blood.
She looked at Abelardo Fitzgerald, her classmate and crush. Her gaze remained gentle and
determined, forbearing and forgiving.
“Not only do I have high ambition, but I’m also highly enthusiastic and patriotic. I believe thousands of
scholars, including you, are the same as me.
“Thomas Paine once said youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals. As
James Wilson said, revolution is not a principle of discord, rancor, or war. It is a principle of melioration,
contentment, and peace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I must ensure to have countless followers after me. This isn’t the effort of one person or a group of
people, but the accumulation of youth from generation to generation.”
Ninian was gentle and down-to-earth, yet she was able to render everyone on the set speechless,
After a long pause, Abelardo said with sadness in his gaze, “… That’s only a pie in the sky.”
He sounded as if there was no hope in sight. Elliot smiled gently and looked to the horizon as she said
softly, “I can shed my blood for the country, but I will not die in regret.”
Abelardo watched her with emotions surging in his gaze. He felt groundbreaking, like a shoot ready to
sprout. At this moment, the camera screen froze, and it marked the end of the first scene of a rival
drama.
The director was very satisfied with the scene and immediately stopped the shooting to watch back the
recording.
After a short respite, Ninian finally let out a sigh of relief. The thought of her filming with Everett just
now made her heart beat rapidly, even her ears were red.
She looked at Everett, who was not far from her. She blushed, suppressing her excitement, and said,
“Ev—”
Just as she was about to speak, she paused.
He walked towards her and passed by her without even looking at her.
Ninian was speechless. She could almost hear her heart shattering.
