George understood how Colin was feeling and pitied him. They did grow up together, after all.
However, he did not say anything. He patted Colinâs shoulder and said, âWe wonât bring this up ever again. Donât worry.
Colin nodded. âSir, you always keep your promise. Please protect Young Lady Ninian.â
âHmm.â
George returned to his study room once everything settled down.
Less than half an hour later, Harold sneaked into the room.
âUm, Georgeâ¦â
George was not surprised to see him here. He cocked his eyebrow and said casually, âWhy are you here?â
âYou mentioned youâll contact the Craig family and ask about Everettâs situation. You also said that youâll help them to deal with Rowan. Is that true?â
âWhat are you up to?â
âHehe, Iâm just curious.â Harold smiled and said, âBy right, shouldnât you be hating the Craig family? Why are you willing to take the initiative to find out how Everett was doing and help them find Rowan? We donât usually stick our noses into another familyâs affairs.â
âGrapie will worry if I donât find out about Everettâs situation.â George rolled his eyes, which he rarely did. âI wish that bastard would suffer more.â
âHow dare he take Ninian away. He even put her in danger. I wish I could go to his ward and punch him!
âBut I donât have any other choice. I still have to âcareâ for him. Or else, Grapie will be worried sick.â
âHonestly, if not for his familyâs mess and his mental illness, I wouldâve liked this brat,â Harold muttered.
âI got to know Everett more and gained some understanding of him.
âEverett might be young, but heâs meticulous. Even as he schemed, he took us into account without us knowing. I canât help but feel impressed by his performance.
This time, I tried my best to be okay with the incident in the hotel, but it was a little gory.
âWhatâs more, even though he was unconscious, he saved Grapieâs life.
âIn such a dangerous situation, he was able to climb back up to the balcony. It might be luck, but his strength played a huge factor too.
âThis changed my view of Everett a little.â
âWhat are you muttering?â George asked.
âNothing!â Harold said sternly.
âIf George finds out that I slightly changed my mind. about Everett and wants to work against his idea, heâll definitely want to beat me to a pulp.â
âGeorge, why are you helping the Craig family with their family affair?â Harold asked giddily.
âAre you saying that itâs not good for me to interfere in other peopleâs family affairs?â George glared at him.
âNo, no. Iâm just curious!â
George narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of threat in his gaze. âHow dare he hook up with Ninian?
Are we nothing in his eyes?â
âThe Winters family go against Rowan, not for the sake of helping the Craig family or Everett. Iâm just settling scores with Rowan.
âGrapie was traumatized today, and I want Rowan to suffer a hundredfold!â
