Chapter 325
The atmosphere in the office was tense even after Elder Master Goldmann had left. Nolan pulled a packet of cigarettes out of his drawer. It had been a long time since he last smoked, but he did not know why he had an urge to smoke right now. He clasped the cigarette between his lips and lit it up with a lighter.
He rose to his feet and walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window. He took a long drag and held the cigarette between his fingers.
It went without saying that he hated those people who had killed his mother to the core. However, had it not been for his great grandfather, his mother wouldn’t have gotten caught up in it
Even if the de Arma family was the main culprit, he knew that Maisie had nothing to do with them.
He allowed himself to get drowned in his own memories while the cigarette continued to bum in between his fingers. He tapped ash into the ashtray, and he figured that he should keep this matter a secret from Maisie.
Rowena was splashing herself with cold water to calm herself down inside the restroom.
No one would know about the thing that had happened that year: As long as she kept quiet, nobody would know about it. It had nothing to do with her…
“Help me!”
However, the scene was so vividly clear it was as if it had only happened yesterday.
The scene when Natasha had asked her to save her, the two men who had taken her away, and the tattoos on the back of their hands. She still remembered it clearly. It was ‘his’ people back then who..
Rowena had been there at that time. She could have saved Natasha from those two men, but she had flinched and backed away because she wanted nothing to do with it….
She had been afraid of being expelled from the Night Banquet because of this matter. She had not wanted Titus or Nolan to be disappointed in her, so she had chosen to tell lies and hide the truth. As a result, they had missed the best timing to save Nolan’s mother. 1
That man had also come to her because of this.
