Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1637



Elodie spoke slowly, "When Joseph left everything behind and walked away from the Burke family, even with his business acumen, it was impossible for him to have the capability and wealth to plan against the big four families within just a few years. There must have been a strong backer supporting Joseph. He once told me, 'Fortunes change, and so do people's hearts. Who could have guessed that person would have the last laugh?"

Listening to Elodie's seemingly disconnected words left everyone puzzled.

Sophie asked, "So, who do you suspect?"

"If you're asking me, my suspicion falls on... Wesley."

The moment she mentioned the name, everyone was stunned.

Their gazes quickly shifted to Adler.

Adler was flabbergasted, "My dad? How is that possible? My dad is just an old-fashioned man, not the best in business, and the least influential among the big families. To say he's unambitious would be putting it nicely! He's just a stubborn old rock. How could he possibly be the man behind The Silent Shadows?"© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Don't underestimate your dad. Now, everyone in the big families, including Sophie and Colby, as well as Gordon's parents, have faced disasters, yet the only issue in the Tredgold family is a mad Mrs. Tredgold. Your dad has always kept a low profile, but managed to stay unscathed till the end. I think the person Joseph referred to back then must be your father," Élodie explained.

Then, she changed her tone, "Of course, this is just my speculation, and I might be overthinking. But if it's really him, you're in for even more trouble."

"It's impossible. If the person behind this was really my dad, how could he possibly harm people from the big families?"

Adler refused to believe such a ludicrous scenario.

Elodie raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Adler, think about it. If the person behind all this is indeed your dad, but he allowed and even helped Joseph to harm the members of the other three families, what could be the reason?"

Silence fell around them.

Elodie continued, "Among the big families, the Tredgold family has always been the weakest. Legend has it that a hundred years ago, the Russell family were the strategists, the Costello family were the warlord's, the Aldridge family were the intelligence chiefs, and the Tredgold family was always the Costello family's lieutenant Essentially, the Tredgold family branched off from the Costello family. Over the years, your family has had the weakest voice. If your father harbored enough ambition, it would make sense for him to harbor resentment towards the other three families."

Elodie's reasoning was not without merit.

Adler was at a loss for words, unable to find a rebuttal.

Almost simultaneously, he recalled words his offen indifferent father had harshly.told him, "You are the young master of the Tredgold

family. Understand your identity net

stop acting like a lapdog to the

and

Costello family! You really are a fine son I've raised."

He remembered a fierce argument from years ago that led him to move out, and he hadn't returned home for years since.

His father also refused to speak to him.

The two were like strangers, rarely crossing paths.

In Adler's memory, the word "father" held no weight.

As a child, when school assignments often asked students to write about a family member, he never once wrote about his father.
