Chapter 1310


    I was a little surprised and looked at him with uncertainty. "Are you talking about my grandmother


    Carol?"


    He nodded.


    "But isn''t she the adopted daughter of the Spencer family? Why is her surname Reid?"


    "Mrs. Spencer couldn''t give birth at that time, so she raised your grandmother as an adopted


    daughter. Originally, her surname was Spencer, but soon after Carol was adopted, Mrs. Spencer got


    pregnant with a child of her own. Later, the Spencer family changed Carol''s surname to Reid, after


    Mrs. Spencer''s maiden name."


    I nodded and gazed at him. "And then?"


    He looked at me and raised his hand to brush the hair on my forehead to one side and said, "After


    Carol married into the Milton family, the country began to develop vigorously in industrial production.


    The development of electrical appliances made oil a boon for your grandmother. The domestic oil


    mining rights were in the hands of your grandmother. So the Milton family took this opportunity to


    exploit it. For a moment, the Milton family became one of the most powerful families in Jarold City.


    Many families back then all fawned over them. The Milton family was so prosperous that many


    nobles in Jarold City wanted to get rid of them out of envy. However, the source of the Milton


    family''s wealth was your grandmother. Once they controlled your grandmother, it would be easy to


    exploit the oil industry. However, your grandmother knew of the impact of oil on the nation, so she


    nned to keep oil mining and extraction under strict control. However, the Milton family made a lot


    of money and did not want to listen to her advice. Therefore, your grandmother had to run away


    with the legal documents for oil mining rights inside a box."


    I guessed as I looked at him. "Could the box you''re talking about be the sandalwood box Grandma


    left for me?"This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He nodded. "That''s the box. Back then, Sebastian tried his best to get close to you because of that


    box."


    I recalled carefully. The first time I saw Sebastian was at Grandma''s grave. He stood in front of


    Grandma''s tombstone for a long time. At that time, I thought he was paying his respects and didn''t


    think much about it. Now on second thought, I couldn''t help but be a little suspicious of his motives.


    "But I''ve given the box to Sebastian!" I had never taken the box seriously, so I let him take it without


    thinking when he asked for it in Myanway.


    He looked at me and nodded. "I know!"


    I opened my eyes wide and said, "Then why are you so calm now?" Since that box had been taken


    away by Sebastian, I didn''t know what would happen. After so many years, although the right to oil


    extraction was controlled by the country, it had been private property. Without the formal handover


    ceremony, once this matter was exposed, the Milton family would not default on the right to exploit


    it.


    He looked at me with a faint smile. "I had prepared in advance, and switched out the box."


    I was stunned and spoke with surprise, "Sebastian will kill us if he found out. Although not a matter


    of life and death, it''s still a lot of money that can be pocketed. If the Milton family takes the money,


    they will get the chance and try their best to fight with the Roberts Group."


    Hendrix smiled faintly. "It looks like he hasn''t opened the box yet." I couldn''t help but look at him.


    "Why are you so sure that he won''t open it?"


    He looked at me and smiled. "After the box is opened, ording to the Milton family''s usual


    behavior, they will definitely rely on the box to contest the Roberts again, and then contact the


    state''s Treasury to apply for the legal right to extract oil once again. During this period, the Milton


    family will make a lot of money. It''s difficult for us not to know of such a thing."
