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 exnations. 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, andter 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’smand.
When the rest of the family members who were still not content to let the matter rest saw Duncan’s
trusted
followers obeying hismand, they had no choice but toply 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 simr to the Winters family’s mansion. They both had basements
used for matters that the public must not know of.
It was also known as the underground prison.
It was cold, damp, and enclosed with high walls on all sides with no windows. The only opening it had
was a small one at the iron door, which was used to deliver
meals for the prisoners.
The prisoners in there would neither hear a sound nor see any light. They could only feel the endless
passage of time.
This was’the most torturous ce a person could be.
Harold was not surprised that Rowan was imprisoned here. However, he did not expect Everett to be
ced here as well.
‘Is Duncan truly his brother?
‘Did they have some kind of internal dispute?”
Harold became even more puzzled.
Duncan looked at Harold with askance. His expression darkened and said angrily, “Do you really think
I’ll put Everett in here? He wanted it, and right now, he needs to stay put for the time being!”
“What do you mean?” Harold was at a loss.
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 tough 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 manipted by other people made her feel agitated.
So, she stepped forward and urged in a low voice, “Mr. Craig, please continue.”
