For the sake of benefits… Ronald’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Cox, perhaps the Laker family has been influenced by the Watson family to form an alliance against the Cox family!”
Avery’s eyes were as deep as dark iron, and he didn’t immediately respond.

Violet finished the last bit of candy, savoring the sweetness. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, her voice soft and pleasing to the ear. “Well, it’s not necessarily true. We don’t know who provided this list, and we can’t be certain of its authenticity. It doesn’t prove anything. It’s possible that someone is trying to create trouble, using us as pawns to attack the Laker family.”
Indeed, they couldn’t dismiss that possibility.
Ronald was momentarily confused, unsure of what was happening.
At that moment, Avery spoke clearly, “Regardless of the situation, this clue is valuable to us. The perpetrator who attacked the Zimmerman family must be another powerful force, and they definitely hold a position among the board of elders. Irwin, investigate the Laker family and see if they have been involved in any recent activities.”
Irwin, who was standing in the corner waiting for orders, immediately set off to carry out the task without delay.
Before long, he returned with news.
“Mr. Cox, the list on that paper is indeed true. The head of the Laker family has indeed met privately with the head of the Watson family, and they have already formed an alliance. On the night the
Zimmerman family was attacked, a large number of people from the Laker family disappeared without a trace. Most of the people in their various clubs also vanished. Such a simultaneous disappearance of so many people is definitely not a coincidence,” Irwin reported.
Avery had a plan in mind, and he let out a cold laugh. “The Laker family is also getting involved in this mess. It seems like they’re tired of living. I wonder what kind of benefits Keith, that old fellow, promised Maurice to persuade him to participate.”
The Laker family had always been the type to take a back seat or observe from a distance. They were the kind who waited to reap the benefits.
It appeared that they had noticed the recent vulnerability of the Cox family and wanted to take advantage of their misfortune.
The identified forces involved behind the scenes significantly reduced the threat to Avery. They’re eager to reap the benefits, but unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking. Now, what concerns me more is the person who provided this list.
“Has anyone checked who left this list at the door?” Avery asked.
Irwin, without being instructed, had already begun investigating the matter in advance, his face showing confusion. “I’ve already checked. It was a postman who delivered the letter. He said he didn’t know who asked him to deliver it. The person just left the money and the envelope at his doorstep, along with our address. He simply followed the instructions. As for the surveillance cameras, I’ve also looked into them. The recordings had been wiped clean, irretrievable, with no information left.”
Upon hearing this, Avery seemed lost in thought. “Now, this is interesting. That person is helping others without seeking recognition, yet they were able to investigate so thoroughly. They could uncover things that even the Cox family couldn’t find and even produced a list. It’s clear that their status is far from ordinary.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
At that moment, Irwin hesitated before saying, “Oh, by the way, Mr. Cox, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. I’ve always felt that during our trip to Adieu Island, someone was secretly helping us.”
Avery looked up at him. “How did you know?”
“At first, I wasn’t sure. I always felt like someone was following me in the shadows. Initially, I thought it was someone from the Jagger family, so I was very cautious. However, it seemed like they were just observing and never made a move, which made me doubt whether it was just my imagination. However, later on, when we arri at the Jagger family’s power base, you and Violet entered the Jagger family’s premises. While we were dealing with the Jagger family members outside, during the chaotic battle, we felt that there was another team mixed in helping us a great deal. That’s how we were able to fight our way into the Jagger family’s place. Later on, Violet you away. There must have been someone secretly helping us along the way. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone s smoothly. The Jagger family would have done everything in their power to stop you and Violet. When we were dealing with the aftermath at the Jagger family’s place, the group upstairs had already been taken care of by the time we got there. At first, I thought it was our people who did it. But after asking around, I found out it wasn’t. However, because you were still unconscious and the Cox family was busy with many things, we didn’t investiga further at that time,” Irwin replied.
An unexpected twist occurred, causing Avery’s expression to darken, his eyes reflecting a certain complexity. “I’v never encountered anyone like this before. Going through all the trouble to travel to Adieu Island to help the Cox family without seeking attention or expecting anything in return.”
Irwin nodded. “I find it strange too, especially with what happened today…”
Afterward, Irwin voiced his speculation, saying, “Mr. Cox, I believe that the person who helped us on Adieu Island and the one who provided the list today must be the same individual.”
Avery thought the same way. Both forces are secretly employing the same tactics to assist us. I refuse to believe in such a perfect coincidence. Obviously, this party has been of immense help to us. Regardless of whether it’s on Adieu Island or today, the power of the person behind the scenes is equally not to be underestimated. In Phison, there aren’t many who can achieve this.
The more Avery thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. What could possibly be the motive of someone who goes to such great lengths to help me time and time again yet refuses to reveal their identity?
