    Chapter 1219


    But Everett remained calm.


    Rowan narrowed his eyes and coldly said, “Go ahead. Be quick. Don’t dy my gathering with my


    nephew.”


    The implication was clear. He wanted his bodyguards to remove the bombs.


    The bodyguards behind him seemed unwilling, but they dared not say another word. All of them just


    left.


    Soon, the initially crowded pavilion became empty.


    Even Agnes and Paul, who had been lying on the ground, were dragged out by the bodyguards to


    make more space.


    Other than Everett and Rowan, only Harold and Ninian were left there.


    Everett finally looked at Ninian with a gentle expression. “Baby, I need you to keep an eye on them for


    me.”


    However, Ninian shook her head, her big almond eyes


    bing watery.


    She knew that Everett wanted to dismiss her.


    But how could she leave?


    Rowan had given up his own undercard to gamble with Everett in this duel. Was Everett’s chances of


    winning


    really high?


    What if something happened to him?


    What should she do?


    “Be a good girl. I’ll be with you soon.” Everett nced at every inch of her face with a tender gaze, as


    though he wanted to remember her deeply.


    Then, he looked at Harold with a pleading look in his eyes.


    Harold did not look like his usual unserious and unreliable self either. He had a very serious


    expression. The two men stared at each other, and that was all she


    wrote.


    After Harold gave Everett a solemn nod, he turned to the side and carried Ninian, overpowering her


    easily before walking outside.


    “Hal… Hal, I can’t leave…”


    Ninian struggled and spoke as she sobbed. Her vision was blurred by her tears.


    Harold did not stop walking. He just softly said, “Don’t distract him. You should believe in him.”


    That sentence stopped all of Ninian’s resistance.

    She gripped Harold’s shirt tightly and looked over his shoulder at Everett. She could not stop weeping.


    Thest moment she vaguely saw was of Rowan rushing


    toward Everett. A silvery light shed in his sleeve.


    It… was a sharp knife.


    Harold changed directions, and she entered the corridor. She could no longer see the situation there.


    Ninian’s emotions were out of control. She sobbed before she bit Harold’s shoulder.


    “Good girl, don’t be afraid.” Haroldforted her softly. “You need to have faith in him.”


    Ninian wept and trembled.


    Have faith in him…


    Yeah, she needed to have faith in him. She had to wait for


    him.

    Ninian tried her best to calm down. She suppressed her fear and sadness, then forced herself to calmly


    say, “Hal, you can put me down.”


    “Grapie…” Harold said with concern.


    Ninian said, “Hal, trust me. I just want to help him. He told me he wanted me to watch the situation


    here. I want to help him.”


    When Harold heard this, he sighed in relief. After he put her down, he tussled her long hair. “Our


    Grapie has really grown up.”


    While Harold helped out, the Winters family also arranged for arge group of people there.


    Rowan’s people led the way, and the people from the Winters family, as well as Everett’s people,


    checked every corner, one by one. Soon, they cleaned out all of the explosive kits.


    Meanwhile, the duel in the pavilion was at its most critical point.
