Greg glanced at Nina with cold disdain. Her constant fussing and shouting only worsened his mood. He asked icily, “What’s y provoke you?”
Nina frowned and questioned, “What were you snickering about just now?”
Greg said. “Does it matter to you! Nina, why are your so nosy!”
Nina was furious at Greg’s words. “You sneered after Charlie spoke, and it was clearly meant for him. If you’re unhappy, just say it! Don’t be sarcastic, or FIl be forced to beat you up!”
Greg shot back, “Nina, are you out of your mind? Do you think I’m mocking you! If you can prove it, then show me the evidence. Don’t stir up
trouble for no reason.”
“Hal” Nina was pissed off. She thought Greg must be sick, seriously sick.
He clearly disliked Charlie, and she could sense it, yet he still refused to acknowledge it. How could someone be so unwilling to admit their
actions”
Nina rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront someone. “Greg, you really deserve a beating! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll think we’re easy to push around!”
“Nina, don’t be too arrogant! Who allowed you to be so rude to
o your older brother?” aid Greg.
“Who treats you as an older brother? You’re just Greg, not my older brother!” said Nina.
“Nina Greg called out.
“Why don’t you try pushing me again?” said Nina
The siblings stared at each other and drew their swords. The atmosphere instantly became anxious.
Humphrey sensed the tension and quickly turned to reprimand Greg. “Greg, what are you doing? Why are you arguing? Apologize to him right
Greg looked at his brother and sneered. He asked, “Apologize? What did I do wrong? Why do you want me to apologize!”
Humphrey was speechless. You’re so angry now. Who can’t tell that you don’t like Charlie? he thought.
However, Humphrey didn’t expect Greg to be so openly anxious. He was usually skilled at concealing his feelings, so this sudden shift seemed unusual for him. Greg was definitely acting strangely.
Seeing that Greg refused to apologize, Nina clenched her fists tightly
She stood up and strode forward, ready to teach Greg a lesson.. Just as she was about to move, someone grabbed her wrist.
“Charlie!” Nina turned around and was a little surprised that Charlie was pulling her along
However, Charlie smiled slowly and said, “Why are you so mad? Don’t get into an argument with your family because of me.”
Nina’s eyes widened at this and she quickly corrected him, “Greg is not my family! I don’t care about that Charlie, what are you talking about?”
“Is this the Clure who would kill and dismember people over the slightest disagreement? Why is he suddenly so nice? Nina thought, feeling
Unsettled.
With the atmosphere so tense, Charlie found it difficult to speak to Nina. Although Greg didn’t say anything, he didn’t harbor any ill intentions toward larr; in fact, lie seemed more jealous than anything else.
Charlie didn’t like Greg. He had a strong personality and acted recklessly, doing whatever he pleased. Coincidentally, they were very similar, which was why Charlie found him incredibly annoying
However, Curlie understood that Greg was just like him. Once someone like Greg cared for someone, he became fiercely protective, like an old hen guarding its chuck. Anyone who dared to threaten that chick would surely face his wrath
So, in Charlie’s eyes, even though he didn’t like Greg, he wasn’t entirely hopeless. Compared to his cruel and selfish family, Greg was at least decent
In the future, he might become a powerful force to protect Nina. Therefore, Charlie was determined not to be the reason the siblings fell out
Back on the deserted island, Jackie had also scolded Greg. However, she also hoped that this person would come to his senses and treat Nina sincerely.

Nina couldn’t help but shiver. Phew. It is still the same Charlie I knew who was definitely fierce!
After being “kindly” educated by Charlie, Nina became more honest.

Humphrey knew how to cooperate. He immediately reprimanded his younger brother, “Greg, why aren’t you apologizing to Charlie? What are you
Greg watched as Nina acted like a docile little sleep around Charlie, and he felt suffocated by the thought of spending the night in a hotel with them. He had already offered an out, and if he didn’t go along with it, no one would be happy.
So, Greg relented and said to Charlie, “Sorry, I was just targeting you carlier. But really, who named your Why did you choose the name Charlie? It souths kind of girly?”
Charlie shrugged and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a form of address. It’s just a casual name. If you think it’s not good to call me a Charlie, then call meTyler”
“Alright, Tyler Humphrey smiled, playing the peacemaker. “It’s just a minor conflict. I’m glad we talked it out. Nina, please don’t be upset Nina’s lips curled up. She glanced at Charlie again.
