Upon hearing the news, Jean glanced at Neera, who was accompanying the triplets in drawing, and then quietly walked away. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
Colin replied, “The specific details are still unclear. My subordinates reported that Keith, the head of the Watson family, and Maurice, the head of the Laker family, had a secret meeting at the club last night. They talked for about two hours before leaving. Upon returning, Maurice immediately called for a family meeting and dispatched some people. However, there has been no further action so far. But this situation is quite unfavorable for the Cox family.”
Even though Maurice held the fourth elder seat, the Laker family was considered to be one of the strongest.
If the Watson and Laker families were to join forces, it would spell trouble for the Cox family.
Jean’s eyes narrowed slightly, annoyance lurking in his gaze.
Recently, the news of these disputes had greatly affected Neera’s mood, and it really bothered him.
“Keep an eye on it,” he ordered after a moment of silence.
“Understood.” Colin accepted the order and asked, “Should I take action?”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jean said, “There’s no need for now. If the Cox family is still unaware, we’ll send a message when necessary. Remember, stick to the old rules. Don’t reveal your identity.”
“I understand.”
After a period of rest and recuperation, Avery’s health had significantly improved.
However, the situation of the Cox family was not so good as they gradually entered into an unfavorable predicament.
That day, just after Avery had finished his breakfast, he saw Ronald appear in a hurry, his face grave, clearly bearing some bad news.
“What happened?” Avery asked, a frown creasing his brow.
First, Ronald wiped the sweat from his brow, took a deep breath, and then hurriedly began to report, “Mr. Cox, we have a problem. Hector Zimmerman sent a message saying that the Zimmerman family’s headquarters was attacked last night. The attackers had strength in numbers, and they came in full force. In the end, they surrounded the Zimmerman family. They almost wiped out the Zimmerman family. If it weren’t for our death guards secretly protecting them, I’m afraid they would have been completely annihilated!”
Hector Zimmerman was the head of the Zimmerman family, and the Zimmerman family was an affiliated force of the Cox family, loyal to the Cox family for many years.
In the operation, the Zimmerman family was the most powerful ally of the Cox family, a force not to be underestimated. The Quigley family and the Hoffman family were severely hit by the Zimmerman family.
Upon hearing this news, Avery was taken aback, his expression suddenly turning somber. “Who was behind the surprise attack?”
As Ronald spoke, cold sweat trickled down his face, and his heart was filled with unease. “It’s unclear. The Zimmerman family didn’t manage to capture anyone. The other side was extremely well-prepared, and the Zimmerman family suffered significant losses. Even though our death guards stepped in, they could only barely
resist due to the overwhelming disparity in
Hector pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, raising his concerns with a heavy rt. “Mr. Cox, who do you think is behind this? Could it be the work of the Watson family? The Quigley and Hoffman families don’t seem to have this capability…”
Avery’s expression became even more solemn, his eyes filled with gathering storm clouds.
“The Quigley family and the Hoffman family don’t have the capability, and the Watson family also lacks strength,” Jean said in denial, his tone as cold as the winter wind in the night. “Right now, many of the Watson family’s forces are tied up by our people. It’s impossible for them to send out this many people again to attack the Zimmerman family. Besides, the Zimmerman family is not weak. To be able to bring them down to this level, the Watson family simply doesn’t have the capability.”
At that moment, Ronald was utterly confused, “If not the Watson family, then who could it be?”
A glint of cold light flashed through Avery’s eyes. “There’s only one possibility. Another power has intervened, siding with the Watson family.”
Ronald felt a tightening in his chest, sensing the situation was becoming increasingly complicated. “I’ll start investigating right away.”
However, the investigation yielded no results.
In the afternoon, Ronald reappeared before Avery. With a worried look on his face, Ronald spoke in an apologetic tone, “Apologies, Mr. Cox, we couldn’t find any information about their identities. They’ve been very covert, erasing their own tracks. We don’t know where to start…”
Avery’s brows were tightly knitted in worry.
Just as he was about to say something, Violet suddenly barged in.
“Satan! Look at this!” Violet held an opened envelope and a piece of paper densely filled with a string of characters.
Avery took it and found it to be a list.
The names on the list were not unfamiliar to him. They were all members of the Laker family.
He scanned it once and suddenly thought of something, raising his head to ask Violet, “Where did this come from?”
Violet still had a lollipop in her mouth, her cheek bulging on one side as she shook her head. “I’m not sure. I was bored, so I went fishing by the lake. When I returned, I found this envelope at my doorstep.”
There were no words on the envelope.
In other words, the person who left the envelope deliberately concealed their identity, simply wanting to convey this particular message.
Ronald also realized it, asking with a mix of doubt and belief, “Mr. Cox, could this list be the people we are currently investigating? Are they the ones who launched the surprise attack on the Zimmerman family?”
“That’s a possibility,” Avery said after a moment of contemplation. At this critical juncture, presenting such a list, only this explanation makes the most sense.
Ronald took the list from Avery and glanced at it. Instantly, Ronald recognized the names and uttered, “Aren’t these people from the Laker family? Why would the Laker family attack the Zimmerman family? They’ve never had any dealings with the Zimmerman family.”
Violet hopped onto the desk. sitting on the edge and swinging her legs leisurely. “Isn’t it obvious? If there’s no past
