Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181

As Harold hesitated, Melody watched as his expression changed, trying to guess what he was thinking about.

“Give her half a month.” Melody said, “Hal, we’ll fix a time. It’s best if we’re able to resolve this matter in half a month. Or else, we’ll tell George. What do you think?”

He pondered for a moment before saying between his gritted teeth, “Okay, that’s set!”

Melody breathed a sigh of relief.

She then sent all the information about Everett to Harold. The more he read, the darker his expression became.

When he reached the end and found out what happened to Paul, he frowned.

‘I know Paul harassed Grapie, and I taught the Whittle family a lesson. I thought it was over, but turns out, Everett resolved this matter privately from his own end. What he did to Paul was relentless and ruthless.

‘I don’t sympathize with Paul, but what Everett did to him and how he threatened the Whittle family caught me off guard. Even so, I have severe doubts about this.

‘He was able to find Paul in the house besieged by the shareholders, beat him into a pulp, and throw him into an ungoverned place, while the Whittle family knew about it all along. Not only did he tell them to not call for help, he even asked them to keep it a secret.

‘I must not underestimate this man.

‘I’m sure Everett has a hold over the Whittle family. It must’ve been important enough to make them give up their own son just so they can protect it from getting exposed.

‘The Craig family and Winters family have similar family backgrounds. Although it’s a small matter to resolve matters with a lower–ranking family like the Whittle family, even the Winters family can’t always guarantee that they can end the Whittle family for good in such a short time and make Paul pay such a price.

‘He’s a deep thinker.

‘Well, if we think of him as an ally, George, Alden, and I will definitely appreciate him. But if we think of him as a rival, we’ll feel envious.

‘If we think of him as our future brother-in-law, we will never agree to that idea.

‘Our two little princesses in our family will never become victims of a commercial marriage. We want them to live pleasant and happy lives.

‘And most importantly, a peaceful one.

‘We would rather let Mel and Grapie marry into a less prominent family than marry someone this complicated.

“They’re too innocent to control a man like Everett. They’re still young and affectionate towards each other. They might be able to get along now, but what will happen if their relationship continues in the long run?

‘If Everett were to change his mind, he would break Ninian’s heart into pieces.

‘With the way he handles matters and the rate that he is maturing, as Ninian’s brothers, we might not be able to help her when the time comes.

‘We will constantly worry about her.‘

“Grapie must not be with Everett.” Harold said in a serious tone, “Mel, she asked you to help her find a psychologist, didn’t she? Go find her one. Let the psychologist persuade her, so she can come back to her senses.”

Melody stayed silent and nodded.

Harold’s gaze darkened as he narrowed his eyes. “Everett Craig, right? I’ll go meet him.”
