Everyone standing at the door was caught off guard by Ninianâs question.
George, who was stunned, had a dark expression.
âWhat are you talking about? Stop scaring yourself. Go and wash your face. Weâll talk later.â
She let out a sigh of relief when she heard what George said.
âI thoughtâ¦
Thankfully, itâs just a nightmare.â
She obediently went and washed her face, got dressed, and went to the living room.
The warm yellow light was switched on.
The atmosphere was tense when she saw everyone sitting there in the living room.
Ninian walked up to them nervously. After greeting them, she asked tentatively, âWell, whatâs the
matter?â
âItâs about Everett.â George said, âRowan has been captured.â
Her heart skipped a bit.
âRowan⦠has been captured?
âThe problematic Rowan Craig has finally been captured?â
She was in a trance and disbelief.
âYes, heâs currently being held in the dungeon under the Craig familyâs house.â George said, âEverett is interrogating him.â
She raised her head and looked worried.
Others may not know this, but she knew very well who Rowan was to Everett.
In his early years of ignorance, he regarded Rowan as his father. However, later on, his mother committed suicide and Rowan became his eternal nightmare.
âWill his symptoms show and lose control again if he were to see Rowan?â
âThat wonât do!â Ninian said sternly. âGeorge, I need to go to the Craig familyâs house. I need to see Everett.â
âThe house is under lockdown. Theyâve banned everyone from going in and out of the house. Even the Craig siblings were locked out from their home.â
George had a solemn expression as he said, âYou should know that the extended family is strictly forbidden. Even the children of their own families will be isolated. Unless itâs under one condition: a major situation which endangers the family.â
Ninianâs face instantly turned pale.
As a child of an aristocratic family, she naturally understood what George said.
âHow can this happen? What exactly happenedâ¦?â
She was a little at a loss, and she glanced over at George and Harold, pleading for help as her eyes teared up.
âWe donât know what happened as well.â Harold punched the couch and said angrily, âWe had clearly joined forces with the Craig family to eradicate
Rowanâs influence, and weâre halfway there. Everett even tried to capture Rowan on the Internet. I
thought it was over, but all of a sudden, the Craig family announced that their house is under
lockdown.â
Nerola, who was sitting beside George, looked doubtful.â Although my family isnât as powerful as the
top families such as the Winters and Craig families, still, I grew up in an upperâclass family. Iâm sure
Iâm able to get some sort of information from certain connections and channels.â
She said, âEveryone in my connection is discussing this matter. Many families are keeping a close eye
on them. They are lurking and waiting for the Craig family to fall apart.â
Ninian gritted her teeth even harder when she heard this.
âI must go there.â She said in a shuddering voice. â Something mustâve definitely happened over there.â
âIt may not be lifeâthreatening, but itâll aggravate his illness. I canât let him deal with this alone.â
As soon as she said this, she stood up and was ready to leave.
âGrapie!â Harold swiftly blocked her. âYou wonât be able to get in! The Craig familyâs mansion is close
shut. Even the Craig siblings couldnât get in, let alone outsiders like us.â
âButâ¦â
âYes, she can!â
Alden said sternly as he stood at the door.
