Chapter 127
She had to persuade her grandfather to abandon the idea of marrying her off to the Hills.
Herman looked puzzled and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Without considering her parentsâ worry for her, Hera immediately recounted how she and Skadi were kidnapped by Crow.
Upon hearing this, Herman expressed disbelief. âAre you saying they wanted to kill Skadi? That⦠That seems improbable, right?â
Hera asserted confidently, âItâs absolutely true. Hunter himself admitted it. If Nash hadnât arrived in time to save us, consequences would have been unimaginable!â
âGrandpaâ¦â
Helena initially wanted to interject.
However, she remembered that Crow from Causeway Bay had indeed died.
Nash had saved Hera and Skadi.
Therefore, Nash must have been the one who killed Crow.
Helena looked at Nash, who was looking back at her calmly.
âWhat is it?â
Herman heard Helena calling him and turned his head to ask.
Helena shook her head. âN-Nothingâ¦â
Nash killed Crow.
That meant he had offended Howard of the Green Bamboo Association.
The Lanes surely would not let Nash off the hook.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Helenaâs face.
âSince the Hills arenât suitable, then reject their betrothal gifts!â
the
Herman said calmly, âHowever, you must be careful since Baroque is still involved in small collaborations with the Hills. If this matter becomes a hindrance to Drake Groupâs orders, the loss will outweigh the gain!â
Hearing Hermanâs words, a happy smile appeared on the faces of Heraâs family.
After the dinner ended, everyone went back to their own rooms.
Maria arranged a guest room for Nash.
Hera and Nash could only chat via their phones.
In Haspardâs study in Hills Estate, the old man slammed his hand on the desk fiercely.
âThis is absolutely outrageous! I was only away from Jonford for one day and such a thing had happened⦠Do the Lees think nothing of us?â
Haspard was away on a business trip yesterday and did not return until this afternoon.
As soon as he got home, he heard that Hunter had been beaten up and had three ribs broken.
Geoffrey sighed. âThe Lees have the Skyes and the warden backing them. Iâm afraid even the Watsons canât do anything about
them.â
As soon as Hunter was admitted to the hospital yesterday, he received a call from the hospital.
Upon learning that it was the Lees who attacked, he did not dare to lose his temper one bit.
Haspard said coldly, âThis is all caused by Hera Lewis. I get that we donât dare to offend the Lees, but canât we do something about the Lewises?â
Geoffrey bitterly laughed and said, âHelena Lewisâ boyfriend is Kai Watson, and Baroque, Heraâs familyâs company, just signed a huge 300 million dollar project with Drake Group!â
Hearing this, Haspard slammed his fist onto the desk.
In this case, they truly did not have the guts to lay a finger on the Lewises.
Geoffrey sighed. âWe should ask Hunt to give up on Hera, or itâll eventually backfire!â
Although he also wanted to avenge his son, the Lewisesâ backing was too strong, and he was powerless.
Haspard closed his eyes and thought for a while. He then slowly opened his mouth. âI heard from Hunt that Hera has a boyfriend now. Who is that man?â
Geoffrey thought for a while and said, âI heard that he seems to be from the mountainsâ¦â
Haspard sneered. âI refuse to believe that my grandson canât compete with a hillbilly!â
The Hills, after all, had a net worth of 1.5 billion.
Hunter was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. How could he be inferior to a wild boy from the mountains?
Geoffrey discerned his fatherâs intention from his words and anxiously said, âDad, donât be stubborn anymore. There are many good women in the world. We can easily arrange a marriage for Hunt!â
