Chapter 1259
[I got it.] Ninian replied and asked, [What about Rowan Craig now?]
[Don’t worry, he can’t hide any longer.]
[Okay.] After Ninian replied, she also did not ask again. She chatted with Everett for a while before she went back to the hotel very quickly.
After she hung up the call, she washed up and directly slept.
On the other side, Everett could not sleep.
It was already 5:00 am.
But the Craig family’s mansion was brightly lit.
Nearly all the elderlies of the Craig family were gathering here.
In the center, Duncan put on a black trench coat, and he emitted a cold aura.
“I invite all of you here because I have only one question.
“Who has provided help to Rowan Craig?
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s help in any sense or assistance. Even if you just get involved with him…
“If you confess now, I’ll let bygones be bygones. But if I
find out on my own, then…” Duncan’s eyes were cold and filled with killing intent. “I won’t spare anyone from his bloodline.”
His words made everyone in the room have cold shivers run down their spines.
They were the elderlies, but since Duncan got promoted to be the head of the family, his dignity had already reached the maximum level.
They also used to think of splitting the core family members like how they split the former head of the family, Anthony, from Rowan.
However, Duncan and Everett had always been united, and Everett was even more difficult to deal with.
After all, Duncan was the head of the family, so he would still have consideration. When Everett went insane, he was a mad guy who did not recognize anyone.
Luckily, Everett did not show up and question them this time.
But they already could not bear it even if there was just Duncan alone.
The atmosphere was suppressive, and the people just felt their backs being drenched in cold sweat. Facing Duncan’s question, no one dared to come out and admit to it.
After all, the core family members did not like the
collateral line of the family members for a very long time.
If they really admitted to it, who could guarantee that Duncan would really not look into them?
Besides, even if Duncan did not look into them, there was still Everett.
Everett the mad guy might still do something else!
They were worried, and they also held out for a chance.
Duncan was not that capable to be able to dig out all the things that they hid.
If he was really that brilliant, Rowan would not have escaped for such a long time.
While everyone plucked up their courage to be in a stalemate with Duncan, he glanced around and knew their thoughts. He curled his lips, and coldness was revealed in his eyes.
Did these people think that he was still as good- tempered as before?
At that time, he endured the insults and humiliation in order to retain the harmony in the Craig family because he was just promoted.
Now, Rowan harmed Everett once again. Did they think that he would still get over it so easily?
