My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 1212

Chapter 1212

Twenty minutes, as mentioned by Zayn in the call, had already passed, yet Everett had not arrived.

Ninian’s heart became tightly clenched as a result.

She obediently followed the bodyguards and walked toward the pavilion from the stone path in the garden.

Soon, she stood in front of the man who resembled Everett.

When she looked at him from a close distance, the 80% similar face gave her a visual impact as well.

This man looked strangely young, like he was just in his thirties.

He and Everett similarly owned handsome faces, but his features were not as noble and cold as Everett’s. His features were filled with ruthlessness, though.

It was hard to cover up even with a friendly smile, thus it made him look more hypocritical.

The two people behind him were considered Ninian’s old friends.

Their gaze on her was filled with hatred and grievance too. The only difference was Agnes‘ more cynical attitude and Paul’s heightened paranoia.

But Ninian directly ignored them.

She did not need to care about the two minions who were being used as tools at the moment.

She cast a sight on the man’s face, and her black eyes slowly teared up. She asked in a trembling voice, “Who… Who are you? What do you want with me?”

“Ms. Winters, don’t be nervous,” the man spoke with a smile. He seemed to be expressing his friendliness. “I think you probably know my identity. It’s fine if you can’t guess. I’m a former member of the Craig family, which has a lot of businesses with the Winters family.

“I heard that Mr. and Ms. Winters were attending a banquet here today, so I purposely waited and saw if we were lucky enough to meet up. This will make the relationship between our families closer too.”

He spoke in a friendly and official way, but Ninian found him very hypocritical.

Since he wanted to meet the members of the Winters family only because of his collaborations with the family, why did he not go to George and Alden? Why did he come to Harold and her who were not involved in the family business?

How could this so–called friendly collaborator know so clearly?

Unexpectedly, she was just a useless beautiful woman. Aside from her beauty, she only had her background and status.
