Chapter 127
She had to persuade her grandfather to abandon the idea of marrying her off to the Hills.
Herman looked puzzled and asked, “What do you mean?”
Without considering her parents’ worry for her, Hera immediately recounted how she and Skadi were
kidnapped by Crow.
Upon hearing this, Herman expressed disbelief. “Are you saying they wanted to kill Skadi? That… That
seems improbable, right?”
Hera asserted confidently, “It’s absolutely true. Hunter himself admitted it. If Nash hadn’t arrived in time
to save us, consequences would have been unimaginable!”
“Grandpa…”
Helena initially wanted to interject.
However, she remembered that Crow from Causeway Bay had indeed died.
Nash had saved Hera and Skadi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, Nash must have been the one who killed Crow.
Helena looked at Nash, who was looking back at her calmly.
“What is it?”
Herman heard Helena calling him and turned his head to ask.
Helena shook her head. “N-Nothing…”
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 Helena’s face.
“Since the Hills aren’t suitable, then reject their betrothal gifts!”
the
Herman said calmly, “However, you must be careful since Baroque is still involved in small
collaborations with the Hills. If this matter becomes a hindrance to Drake Group’s orders, the loss will
outweigh the gain!”
Hearing Herman’s words, a happy smile appeared on the faces of Hera’s 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 Haspard’s study in Hills Estate, the old man slammed his hand on the desk fiercely.
“This 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?”
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. “The Lees have the Skyes and the warden backing them. I’m afraid even the Watsons
can’t do anything about
them.”
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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaspard said coldly, “This is all caused by Hera Lewis. I get that we don’t dare to offend the Lees, but
can’t we do something about the Lewises?”
Geoffrey bitterly laughed and said, “Helena Lewis’ boyfriend is Kai Watson, and Baroque, Hera’s
family’s company, just signed a huge 300 million dollar project with Drake Group!”
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. “We should ask Hunt to give up on Hera, or it’ll eventually backfire!”
Although he also wanted to avenge his son, the Lewises’ backing was too strong, and he was
powerless.
Haspard closed his eyes and thought for a while. He then slowly opened his mouth. “I heard from Hunt
that Hera has a boyfriend now. Who is that man?”
Geoffrey thought for a while and said, “I heard that he seems to be from the mountains…”
Haspard sneered. “I refuse to believe that my grandson can’t compete with a hillbilly!”
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 father’s intention from his words and anxiously said, “Dad, don’t be stubborn
anymore. There are many good women in the world. We can easily arrange a marriage for Hunt!”
