Chapter 1291
“Grapie.”
Adina acted quickly to stop her before she shook her head at Ninian.
Was this silly girl afraid that her father would kill Everett?
Ninian felt anxious, but she did not move forward again. She kept staring at Duke and Everett, as if she would
immediately rush forward as long as there was a conflict
between them.
When Duke saw that his beloved daughter already
changed sides and was taking the side of another man, he felt jealous, and his expression only became colder.
Everett broke out in cold sweat because of Duke’s aura, but he still straightened his back and refused to admit
defeat.
He raised his head and looked into Duke’s eyes. His gaze was firm and sincere.
“Mr. Winters, I guarantee you that I will not let Ninian get hurt again.

“What happened before is my fault, and you can punish me in any way you want. If this kind of situation happens
again, I’m willing to pay with my life.”
Every sentence of his was sincere. Although it was plain, it carried an invisible strength that made people
subconsciously feel shocked.
Duke’s gaze was still cold, profound, and awe–inspiring. He glanced at Everett and indifferently said, “I will
protect my own daughter. You don’t need to worry about her. You also don’t have the ability and qualifications to
worry about her.”
When Everett heard it, he also did not get angry. He just calmly and firmly said, “One day, I will make you hand her
over to me with absolutely no worries.”
Duke instantly chuckled angrily. His gaze was slightly cold as he said, “Young man, don’t gloat so much. Deal with
your own troubles first before you say this.”
When Duncan saw that Duke’s expression darkened slightly, he also stood forward to smooth out the situation.
“Hi, Mr. Winters. I’m Duncan Craig. I’m also Everett’s older brother.” Duncan smiled faintly and said, “When my
father was still alive, he said he had a good
relationship with you and Mrs. Winters. Today, you and Mrs. Winters have come to help us. If you don’t mind, we
would like to call you Uncle Duke.”
He was the head of the Craig family, but when he spoke, he kept a low profile and was humble.
No one would be rude to a friendly person, especially
when his status was also not low. Duke’s expression was slightly relieved. He nodded and said, “That’s all right,
Duncan.”
Right after he said that, the relationship between both parties turned from normal allies to long–standing friends.
Duncan and Everett’s parents had already passed away, so it was even impossible for Duke to mistreat them with
his status as a senior.
The tension and conflict of this meeting were over for the time being.
Ninian sighed in relief, but Adina discreetly glanced at her daughter, and she secretly sighed.
She could not keep this daughter by her side for much longer.
Ninian’s heart was already with the young man of the Craig family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuckily, before Adina came, she found out about Everett’s character, and she also met him in person. The longer
she looked at him, the more satisfied she felt.
Adina smiled faintly as she walked forward and held
Duke’s arm. She smiled and said, “Alright, let’s not stand at the entrance. Let’s go inside and get down to
business.”
Her words put an end to this conflict.
Duncan gratefully flashed a faint smile at her as an acknowledgment, and Everett also looked at her and politely
nodded.
He was not enthusiastic, but he was sincere.
Adina liked him even more.
Duncan and Everett invited the Winters family into the mansion.
The spacious meeting room was fully seated.
Duncan gave a short description of the current situation, and everyone became silent. When the Winters siblings
recalled the past incident when their mother was planted with a chip, they felt a pain in their hearts.
