However, she continued to look shy and said, âThank⦠Thank you for the compliment.â
When Rowan heard this, the contempt in his eyes became stronger.
When he noticed that Ninian seemed to let her guard down slowly, he purposely chatted with her and complimented her. When she finally smiled, he opened up the main topic of their conversation.
âI hear that youâre in a relationship with my nephew. Do you know about his disease?â
Coldness crossed Ninianâs heart.
He was truly aiming for Everett.
âDo you mean his slight paranoia?â Ninian looked a little embarrassed and said, âI know about it, and I can accept it. But my family might have a different opinion, so weâre still working hard.â
âParanoia?â Rowan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke.
It was only after a while that he looked at Ninianâs anxious gaze and said, âSo, you donât know the truth, do you?â
âThe truth?â Ninianâs heart tightened. She thought that she could roughly ask about these matters.
âWhat truth?â she asked fearfully.
âDidnât Everett tell you?â Rowanâs gaze became profound and ruthless. His tone was filled with strong hatred. âHe caused his motherâs death.â
It struck Ninianâs mind like lightning.
She just felt her mind buzz and go blank.
âWhat⦠What did you say?â
When the Craig family tragedy happened that year, Everettâs parents had died, Rowan had been chased out of the family, and Everett had fallen severely sick.
However, the truth included⦠Everett causing his motherâs death?
Ninian felt lost in an instant, but it only lasted for a second.
Soon, she regained her rationality. After she suppressed her shock, a thought occurred to her.
No way!
It was absolutely impossible!
Everett was not that kind of person! He looked cold and tough, but his heart was kinder than anyone elseâs!
His tactics were ruthless, but the people he dealt with were enemies who had taken the initiative to provoke him viciously!
He cared about his own family very much!
She could feel it from his tone whenever he talked about his elder brother.
This man must be lying. There had to be another story behind this.
Ninian raised her head in fear, and her almond eyes quickly became teary. She seemed to be extremely shocked. âNo⦠No⦠he wouldnâtâ¦â
âHe would.â Rowanâs gaze was ruthless, and he said, Thereâs something wrong with his emotions. Heâs a psychopath! Whenever he falls sick, he canât recognize anyone! He caused his biological mother to die!â
(C Ninian acted as if she believed him but still held a trace of hope. She stood up and said, âNo, that canât be true. I want to ask himâ¦â
âGo! Go ahead and ask him.â Rowanâs face became slightly distorted, and he said, âDig up his filthy and unbearable past. Dig it up and show him what heâs done! How could he still live so righteously?
How dare he pursue true love? He should atone for his sin! He should go to hell and atone for his sin!â
Ninian secretly thought that the manâs plan had gone wrong when she saw his expression.
He wanted to trigger her but triggered himself instead.
Ninian started to act crazy. She ran back like a mad woman, but Paul stopped her. He instantly grabbed her arm.
Ninian could not move out of his grasp. While she felt nervous, she heard a cold and ruthless voice.
âLet go of her!â
