âOh no, has Alden gone mad because heâs too angry?!â
Ninian turned and saw Everettâs sly gaze. He then asked, How did I do?â
Ninian looked at him in resignation. âDuncan will hate you for it.â
âHe put up a weak front and sacrificed his brother to get Aldenâs approval.
âWhy did I even believe that heâs a righteous person?â
As they chatted a little more, his expression suddenly changed.
He smiled and said, âHoney, Iâm tired. You can go home first. Iâll rest.â
âYouâre tired? Are you hurt?â Ninian stood up nervously.
âIâm fine.â He shook his head with a calm expression. â Be good. Go home. Go and watch Duncan and Alden fight. See if they get injured.â
âOkay, then.â Ninian raised her hand and touched his head as she said, âJust call me if youâre feeling pain somewhere. Iâll accompany you.â
âOkay, I will.â
She smiled and left. After the basement door closed behind her, her expression changed.
Before the people outside reacted, she turned and took a look at Everett again before closing the door behind her. She looked patient and calm.
Although he had a smile and looked calm the whole time, she noticed his body tense up earlier, and it had continued to tense up for a long time.
He was pulling the satin that bound him tightly in silence.
He was trying his best to endure the pain.
Sure enough, even with the closed gate, she could hear Everett breathing heavily.
Her expression darkened. She turned to the Craig familyâs bodyguard and said hurriedly, âWhereâs Mr.
Craig? Call Mr. Craig and Alden here now! Hurry up!â
One of the bodyguards noticed something odd. They rushed out without saying a word.
The other bodyguard glanced at the iron gate next to him.
His expression changed as he said, âMs. Winters, Rowan is awake!â
Her face turned pale.
âI knew itâ¦
âRowan you bastard!â
She walked to Rowanâs basement room and said solemnly, âOpen the door.â
âButâ¦â The bodyguard hesitated.
âI said, open the door!â Ninian snapped.
This was her first time snapping in front of the Craig familyâs subordinate. Her expression was terrifying
as she emitted a murderous aura.
The bodyguard did not dare to go against her, so he instantly opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, she could smell an unspeakable pungent smell.
The room was cold and damp. It was stained with blood and had a stench of incontinence. The smell
was so strong that it could make people puke.
Ninian ordered the bodyguard to light up the room. She looked indifferent as she entered the room.
Rowan was suspended in the center of the room. His feet were not touching the ground, and he was
swaying from side to side in the air.
He squinted for some time, dazzled by the sudden bright light. He then slowly opened his eyes again.
He smiled strangely when he saw Ninian.
