Were they⦠Paul and Agnes?
The former actor and actress of âIn Full Bloomâ appeared there at the same time.
It was actually not strange for them to attend such an occasion together. However, it was strange that they looked very close as if they were discussing something .
Ninian was very sensitive toward peopleâs emotions. She could clearly feel that the aura lingering between them was of sorrow and grief.
It was obvious from their profound expressions and coldness that occasionally crossed their faces when they talked.
Ninianâs heart sank slightly when she recalled the anxiety that she vaguely felt before she came over.
She took out her phone and called Everett.
After all, these two people held some grudges against Everett and her.
She could rest assured since Harold was there with her, but she could not help but feel worried about Everett.
Her call was not answered.
Ninianâs heart rate increased slightly. She found Zaynâs contact number and made another call.
It was answered this time.
âMs. Winters, weâre on our way to your location, and weâll arrive in about twenty minutes. Mr. Craig is working, so it isnât convenient for him to answer your call for the time being.â
âYouâll arrive at the hotel in twenty more minutes?â Ninian was slightly surprised. âWhy are you coming over all of a sudden?â
She had sent Everett a message when she arrived at the banquet with Harold. At that time, Everett had asked her to have fun, saying that he could not come over for now due to work.
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Zayn did not explain. He just said, âItâs nothing. Mr. Craig just wants to keep you company in person.
You can relax. Be safe and stay by Young Master Haroldâs side.â
âOkay, Iâll wait for you.â Ninian hung up and became absentâminded.
Meanwhile, Zayn put away his phone and looked at Everett in the back passenger seat with a serious expression. âMr. Craig, Iâve already explained the matter to Ms. Winters, and the people weâve arranged should have also arrived at the hotel by now. We should be able to guarantee her safety.â
âNot just âshould,â itâs a must.â Everettâs voice was cold, and his eyes were full of hostility.
He never looked away from the laptop in his hands as his fingers tapped on the keyboard crazily. There was a sense of tension in the quiet car space, as though a storm was coming.
âDid you really discover that the person is at the hotel where Ms. Ninian is?â Zayn asked seriously. âDo we need to report this to Mr. Duncan Craig?â
Everett did not stop tying. When he saw the red dots that were flashing on the screen, he pursed his lips. âTell him.â
Zayn instantly sighed in relief. He immediately dialed a number and contacted the head of the Craig family, Duncan.
His call was answered in a minute.
When Zayn reported the issue to Duncan, the manâs tone became strangely cold and firm.
âIâve already arrived in Swafhy City, and my current location isnât far from the hotel. Iâll go there by myself. Ask the driver to make a turn and send Young Master Everett back.â
When Zayn heard that, his heart instantly skipped a beat.
He turned back, looked at Everettâs cold expression, and hesitantly said, âBut⦠Ms. Winters is thereâ¦â
âIâll go and protect the girl. Everett must not go and meet that person again,â Duncan said. âZayn, you know what the consequences are.â
Zayn remained silent.
He knew the consequences.
Aside from a few descendants in the Craig familyâs direct lineage, nobody else had personally witnessed the tragedy that year like him.
It was a nightmare that the Craig family members could not bear to remember.
