Chapter 1212
Twenty minutes, as mentioned by Zayn in the call, had already passed, yet Everett had not arrived.
Ninian’s heart became tightly clenched as a result.
She obediently followed the bodyguards and walked toward the pavilion from the stone path in the garden.
Soon, she stood in front of the man who resembled Everett.
When she looked at him from a close distance, the 80% similar face gave her a visual impact as well.
This man looked strangely young, like he was just in his thirties.
He and Everett similarly owned handsome faces, but his features were not as noble and cold as Everett’s. His
features were filled with ruthlessness, though.
It was hard to cover up even with a friendly smile, thus it made him look more hypocritical.
The two people behind him were considered Ninian’s old friends.
Their gaze on her was filled with hatred and grievance too. The only difference was Agnes‘ more cynical attitude
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand Paul’s heightened paranoia.
But Ninian directly ignored them.
She did not need to care about the two minions who were being used as tools at the moment.
She cast a sight on the man’s face, and her black eyes slowly teared up. She asked in a trembling voice, “Who…
Who are you? What do you want with me?”
“Ms. Winters, don’t be nervous,” the man spoke with a smile. He seemed to be expressing his friendliness. “I think
you probably know my identity. It’s fine if you can’t guess. I’m a former member of the Craig family, which has a lot
of businesses with the Winters family.
“I heard that Mr. and Ms. Winters were attending a banquet here today, so I purposely waited and saw if we were
lucky enough to meet up. This will make the relationship between our families closer too.”
He spoke in a friendly and official way, but Ninian found him very hypocritical.
Since he wanted to meet the members of the Winters family only because of his collaborations with the family, why
did he not go to George and Alden? Why did he come to Harold and her who were not involved in the family
business?
Besides, Harold’s identity had been exposed some time ago, but she never exposed her identity at all. Even the
members of the Winters family did not know that she was
involved in the country’s entertainment industry and even attending the banquet today.
How could this so–called friendly collaborator know so clearly?
Not to mention, he also said that the Craig family cooperated with the Winters family, and he was just a former
member of the family.
She understood everything very well, yet she still looked frightened. “But… I don’t know about the family business
The former Young Master Rowan, who was the brother of the former head of the Craig family, Anthony, stared at
Ninian’s expression. When he saw that her eyes were full of fear and terror, contempt and mockery flashed in his
sharp eyes.
The younger generations of the Craig family were getting worse, and Everett was ridiculously blind.
He thought that the brat, Everett, had fallen for a goddess.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnexpectedly, she was just a useless beautiful woman. Aside from her beauty, she only had her background
and status.
Everett’s judgment was much worse than theirs in the past.
Rowan flashed a fake and hypocritical smile before he
said, “You don’t need to know. I just want to greet you in a friendly way.”
As he said that, he gestured to invite Ninian to sit on the bench at the side.
Only then did Ninian realize that there was a round table with round chairs in the pavilion. There were even snacks
and tea on the table.
Ninian schooled her expression, walked forward, and sat on a stone chair.
Rowan also sat down across from her.
“You’re actually quite bold. When you noticed something wrong with Agnes and Paul, you dared to chase after them
and probe. You even sent a drunk forerunner. You’re indeed Duke and Adina’s daughter. You’re quite brilliant.”
He flashed her a smile and complimented her like a friendly elderly, but he did not hide the contempt in his eyes
completely.
Ninian knew that he was actually mocking her for having little, unpresentable intelligence.
