Chapter 1278
Duncan looked at them coldly before saying in a low and stern voice, “Go back and do what you need to do. I’ll deal with the immediate family’s affair. You are not needed here.
“If you disobey me, you’re disobeying the head of the family.
“There’s no need for any interrogation or explanations. Do as I say. Now, scram!”
Duncan’s voice was cold and domineering. The rest of the family members who were still trying to raise a fuss. suddenly quietened down and stood still.
Even though there was still reluctance and anger in their gazes, no one dared to speak out or stop him.
It was truly horrifying to see the furious head of the family and the sick Everett.
None of them dared to protest anything anymore.
The gate was finally closed, once again.
The housekeeper stood at the door, looked at them, and said, “Everyone, please go back. Instead of staying here, it’s better to return and keep your posts. The Craig family needs everyone to work together to get through times like this.”
They were repressed, and later on, deterred by binding interests.
The members of the crowd were no fools. Even if they knew what this “conspiracy” was about, they still had to follow Duncan’s command.
When the rest of the family members who were still not content to let the matter rest saw Duncan’s trusted followers obeying his command, they had no choice but to comply as well.
The rest of the Craig family had finally retreated.
At the Craig family’s mansion, Duncan led the Winters siblings through the garden and into the main building.
He pressed the elevator button and went down to the basement.
“There are two rooms here. Rowan is held in one and Everett is in the other,” Duncan said indifferently.
Harold was shocked. “You put Everett in here?”
The Craig family’s mansion was similar to the Winters family’s mansion. They both had basements used for matters that the public must not know of.
Alden frowned and asked, “Does the biochip only trigger within a certain distance?”
Duncan looked at him in surprise. After a while, he said, As expected from the third son of the Winters family, no one can hide anything from you. Fortunately, we’re a family, not enemies. Otherwise, I’ll have to keep a close eye on you.”
The Winters siblings‘ expressions darkened when they heard this.
“You’re being funny, Mr. Craig. We will absolutely never be a family. You might need to take a number and queue up.” Alden said sarcastically.
“That’s right!” Harold said angrily, “Mr. Craig, let’s get back to business. If we talk too much, we might not be able to get things done.”
George was the calmest and most methodical of them all. But as he spoke, he dropped all pretenses, “I suggest we should go our own ways after this cooperation.”
Ninian did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw how cold her three brothers acted.
But now she was not in the mood to care about other things. The thought of Everett being in this basement and being manipulated by other people made her feel agitated.
So, she stepped forward and urged in a low voice, “Mr. Craig, please continue.”
