Chapter 1219
But Everett remained calm.
Rowan narrowed his eyes and coldly said, “Go ahead. Be quick. Don’t delay my gathering with my nephew.”
The implication was clear. He wanted his bodyguards to remove the bombs.
The bodyguards behind him seemed unwilling, but they dared not say another word. All of them just left.
Soon, the initially crowded pavilion became empty.
Even Agnes and Paul, who had been lying on the ground, were dragged out by the bodyguards to make more
space.
Other than Everett and Rowan, only Harold and Ninian were left there.
Everett finally looked at Ninian with a gentle expression. “Baby, I need you to keep an eye on them for me.”
However, Ninian shook her head, her big almond eyes becoming watery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew that Everett wanted to dismiss her.
But how could she leave?
Rowan had given up his own undercard to gamble with Everett in this duel. Was Everett’s chances of winning really
high?
What if something happened to him?
What should she do?
“Be a good girl. I’ll be with you soon.” Everett glanced at every inch of her face with a tender gaze, as though he
wanted to remember her deeply.
Then, he looked at Harold with a pleading look in his eyes.
Harold did not look like his usual unserious and unreliable self either. He had a very serious expression. The two
men stared at each other, and that was all she wrote.
After Harold gave Everett a solemn nod, he turned to the side and carried Ninian, overpowering her easily before
walking outside.
“Hal… Hal, I can’t leave…”
Ninian struggled and spoke as she sobbed. Her vision was blurred by her tears.
Harold did not stop walking. He just softly said, “Don’t distract him. You should believe in him.”
That sentence stopped all of Ninian’s resistance.
She gripped Harold’s shirt tightly and looked over his shoulder at Everett. She could not stop weeping.
The last moment she vaguely saw was of Rowan rushing
toward Everett. A silvery light flashed in his sleeve.
It… was a sharp knife.
Harold changed directions, and she entered the corridor. She could no longer see the situation there.
Ninian’s emotions were out of control. She sobbed before she bit Harold’s shoulder.
“Good girl, don’t be afraid.” Harold comforted her softly. “You need to have faith in him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNinian wept and trembled.
Have faith in him…
Yeah, she needed to have faith in him. She had to wait for him.
Ninian tried her best to calm down. She suppressed her fear and sadness, then forced herself to calmly say, “Hal,
you can put me down.”
“Grapie…” Harold said with concern.
Ninian said, “Hal, trust me. I just want to help him. He told me he wanted me to watch the situation here. I want to
help him.”
When Harold heard this, he sighed in relief. After he put her down, he tussled her long hair. “Our Grapie has really
grown up.”
While Harold helped out, the Winters family also arranged for a large group of people there.
Rowan’s people led the way, and the people from the Winters family, as well as Everett’s people, checked every
corner, one by one. Soon, they cleaned out all of the explosive kits.
Meanwhile, the duel in the pavilion was at its most critical point.
