She glared at Nina and stammered in anger, “Nina who have you been hanging out with in the countryside This guy is like that! And Jacqueline

Jessica had heard Jacqueline talk about wanting to kill her more than oner
Jessica thought, Why are all these people so violent? They were not talking about heating people up but killing people at the drop of a hat. They’re simply a group of sociopaths! Shouldn’t such people he locked up in jail?
Hmm? What about Jacqueline? When Jessica mentioned Jacqueline, Charlie’s que instantly turned sharp. He turned to stare directly at eves were cold with murderous intent, making Jessica feet avthough he had a hand around her throat that stopped her from breathing

“Hey, Charlie.” Seeing the murderous intent in Charlie’s eyes, Nina quickly tugged at his sleeve, trying to calm him down.
“Call me Sugar Pop” Charlie turned to look at Nina. His expression was still cold, but slightly less intente.
Nina blinked innocently and thought. I’m not the one who upset him. Why give me a hard time?
in attitude.
But she understood Charlie’s sudden change in
To others, war machines might seem like cold–blooded and heartless weapons, but they each had their own personalities. Some are silly, some are aloof, some are funny, and some are oddball
Charlie was the type whose personality could change suddenly. He could be funny and playful, but also aggressive and brutal. Most of the time, he was indifferent to the world and didn’t even get along too well with other war machines
However, Nina knew Charlie cared about Jacqueline a lot and listened to her.
Whenever Charlie had a conflict with someone, Jacqueline would always step in to mediate, and Charlie would obediently apologize.
Hence, bearing Jessica talk about Jacqueline with such a bad tone, Nina wasn’t surprised that Charlie got mad: Everyone has their weak spots, and Jacquelme was Charlie’s.
That was w

She was shorter than Charlie, so she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. “Sugar Pop, don’t cause trouble. Before Jacqueline left, she told me to warn you not to start any fights with anyone. You have to behave yourself.”
Charlie’s expression softened a little when he heard that. He glanced at Nina and asked with suspicion, “Why didn’t she come to tell me herself
Charlie was unhappy that Jacqueline went to Nine first and decided to confront her in the future.
Nina blinked innocently and said, “Oh. that’s a long story. I’ll explain later.”

Charlie also realized this wasn’t the place to talk. Without hesitation, he booked an arm around Nina’s neck and said, “Let’s go. Well talk outside.”
“Okay!” said Nina
And just like that, the two of them swaggered away, not even bothering to excuse themselves to the Woods family. It was a display of complete drgard for others
Once they were gone, the Woods family exchanged looks.
Humphrey and Greg had already noticed how extraordinary their younger sister was during the survival show With Jacqueline’s armval, they were even more certain she had a powerful background.
The ‘Sugar Pop seemed to be part of that circle too.
It was clear to Humphrey and Greg that those people had one thing in common. They were incredibly strong and extremely self–centered. They didn’t follow the usual social norms, acted however they wanted, and didn’t care about others‘ opinions
This made the two brothers suspect that these people must have been raised and trained in some isolated environment, with little exposure to the outside world, which explained their lack of social skills.

As for Darell, he wasn’t clueless either. Though he hadn’t said much, he had secretly watched the survival show in his spare time and had drawn similar conclusions as his sons.
Darell thought Nina was nothing like a girl from the countryside and she must have been through something more complicated than the thought.
The Woods father and sons didn’t say a word but silently concluded that Nina’s identity was anything but ordinary.
In sharp
p contrast, Rachel and Jessica Woods had very different reactions. Rachel simply found the whole situation a little odd but didn’t think much of it. However, Jessica was fuming.
As soon as Nina left, Jessica complained to Darell, “Dad! Look at Nina! She’s always hanging around shady people, even calling that guy Sugar Pop. And now she left without even saying a word to you. It’s outrageous! How can tolerate that?”
