Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: Unraveling the Mystery of One’s Origin 2

He spoke calmly and methodically, yet the words left the Housekeeper, who stood by, somewhat agitated.

"No! Young Master Leon, you cannot not marry Lady Nina!"

Five years ago, when Young Master Leon was rescued from the seawater, the Master had exhausted every means to revive him, who was half-dead. For Lady Nina, he had placed all his bets on Young Master Leon. Now that the Master has passed away, he refuses to marry Lady Nina—how can this be acceptable!

Seeing him suddenly become agitated, Clayton Howard couldn’t help but slightly raise an eyebrow while sitting on the sofa.

Even if he wanted to go against his grandfather’s promise, why would the Housekeeper be so agitated?

And, what exactly is Nina to Grandpa? Why must he marry her into the Harrison Family?

These series of questions were still puzzling Clayton Howard.

Over the past five years, Grandpa has indeed treated him well, but if he really were Grandpa’s own grandson, it would naturally be fine, but what about Nina? She has no blood relation to the Harrison Family, so why does Grandpa care so much about her?

If it was to form a marriage alliance to strengthen the company, that would be understandable, but Nina is not a daughter of prominent families; she is a woman who grew up in an orphanage—what could be so valuable that he must marry her?

Clayton Howard raised an eyebrow, quite puzzled by the Housekeeper’s agitation.

"Why?"

The Housekeeper paused, and his demeanor calmed down a lot.

At this moment, Nina Adams also came down from the staircase and approached the sofa.

The Housekeeper frowned, clearly harboring some hidden concerns.

He looked troubled, glanced at Camila Walker and Nina Adams standing nearby, then turned his head towards Clayton Howard, "Young Master, please come with me, I have something to give you."

After speaking, the Housekeeper turned and walked towards his own room.

Watching his retreating figure, Clayton Howard fell silent for a few seconds before placing down Belinda Howard from his lap, handed her over to Camila Walker, and then walked towards the direction of the Housekeeper.

Watching the two depart, Camila Walker fell into a daze.

Inside the Living Room, suddenly only the three of them remained.

Belinda Howard didn’t quite understand the matters of adults; since Nina Adams approached, she focused solely on her, and unconsciously shrank back behind Camila Walker.

Thinking back to Nina’s cruelty towards her yesterday, it was impossible not to be scared, after all, she was still just a little girl.

Sensing her daughter’s withdrawal, Camila Walker lowered her head and realized that her daughter had been watching Nina; she knew she was scared of her.

She led her aside and sat down on the sofa.

"Shall we wait for Daddy to come out, alright?" she said with a smile, trying to divert her daughter’s fear.

At this moment, Nina Adams also turned her head. When she saw the composed mother and daughter sitting on the sofa, she walked over, her tone filled with sarcasm.

"You really think of this place as your own home? The Master hasn’t even invited you to sit, how embarrassing for you?" she crossed her arms and looked down at Camila Walker in the sofa.

Regarding her condescending master attitude, Camila Walker just gently turned her head, calmly lifting her eyes to meet hers, "Regarding the master of this house, although I am not, nor are you necessarily, right?"

Her tone was composed, yet she struck back leaving Nina Adams speechless!

Not wanting to be looked down upon by Camila Walker, Nina Adams put away her angry expression, and instead scoffed coldly, "How funny, don’t you know? Although I don’t carry the Harrison surname, in this house, I too can act as the Female Host, understand?"
