Chapter 1099
The Middleton family was just a decoy, and there was someone else?
Laray''s words caused a stir.
If a family that as powerful as the Middleton was just a decoy ced by someone else, how much
power could this someone possess?
While cleaning his ear, Henry answered, "I don''t think you know the question. I''m asking about
Alisa. Don''t give me an answer about something else."

Laray looked around and said, "I think we''d better discuss this in private. If you don''t mind."
"There''s no need." Henry walked to the buffet table and took a slice of toast. While spreading butter
on it, he said, "Have you reached an agreement with Ailsa?"
Laray frowned and said, "Sir, I don''t know who you are, but it''s bad for both of us if we are talking
about it in public."
Henry didn''t respond for a while. He was enjoying his toast with his eyes closed. After a few
seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "I''ve left you breathing for too long."
Laray''s face suddenly changed. He immediately said, "Wait, I..."
But it was toote.
The shadow moved and came back, and Laray was lying in the blood pool.
Henry stretched again and said, "Why the Middleton family don''t know how to listen? Well, let''s y
a game then. People who pointed out a Middleton can leave. The rest will have to be killed with all
the Middletons."
Everyone''s faces changed. After witnessing what Henry had done, no one thought Henry was
bluffing.
As soon as Henry finished his words, someone pointed at the person standing next to her, "He is a
Middleton. Can I leave now?"
The person was a young woman.
"Of course," Henry nodded, "I am a man of my word. You can leave."
Upon hearing Henry''s answer, the young woman ran out of the hall as if someone was chasing her.
She escaped without anyone stopping her.
Seeing someone had got out, everyone was agitated.
Following the lead, people started to identify the Middletons. They had chosen their own lives over
the rtionship with the Middleton family.
One after another, the members of the Middleton family were identified. The guests left the hall
safely one after another.
"That''s enough!" Someone shouted. A man made himself heard. He wore a tuxedo and a pair of
gold-rimmed sses on his face, and his hair was already gray. "I''m in charge of the business of the
Middleton family. If you have questions, ask me."
People started to whisper when the man revealed himself.
"It''s Steadmann."
"He can''t sit back from this anymore."
Steadmann was Middleton castle''s housekeeper. He held high status in the family. Some younger
Middletons had to call him uncle with respect.
Steadmann had served the Middleton family for three generations, which made him hold a senior
position of the family.
Steadmann wanted to stop this farce directed by Henry. It was clear that Henry''s true purpose was
to iste the family. The people who had betrayed the Middleton family were from important
families of Yizhou Country. What happened at the party would create non-speakable frictions
between the familes. In the long run, the fiction would eventually cause the Middleton family to be
ousted by all the other families.
At the moment, with the power the family had possessed, the Middleton family posed as a more
powerful figure over all the other families. But the Gailli Family could hardly do anything if it was
isted. In decades, the family could fall to nothing.
Henry nced at Steadmann and put a cookie in his mouth. He asked, "I hope you can give me a
straight answer. What happened between the Middleton family and Ailsa?"
Steadmann took a deep breath and answered, "Three months ago, one of the younger Middletons
introduced to the family a woman from Yan Xia. Her name was Ailsa Xiahou. Ailsa imed that she
held a piece of research that could prolong human life expectancy, and she wanted to cooperate
with the Middleton family. In the biotech area, the Middleton family was the top one in Yizhou
Country. The family had never heard of such type of technology. You know, the one that can make
you live longer."
Henry nodded and sat down, "We are finally heading somewhere. Please continue."
Steadmann continued, "We reached an agreement with Ailsa. Agreement detailed that after the
technology was proven sessful, we would share it with the world with no additional condition
attached. We weren''t happy with the terms, but Alisa insisted, so we had to agree. This technology
would potentially bring a lot of capital. But the family didn''tck it. So we were happy with only the
fame."
Steadmann was remembering, "The research Ailsa brought in was very thorough. In the evaluation
process, we didn''t have any problems, and it was also proved inb tests. The technology could
alter the duration of the Cell Cycle. Such technology could lead to many scientific breakthroughs."
Henry had a thoughtful look on his face, "Alter the duration of the Cell Cycle? The technology can
be used to cure cancer?"
"Yes!" Steadmann nodded, "I can still see how excited Ailsa was when she heard the sess of the
experiment. In just two months, we had finished theb test of the technology. At the moment when
we were about to share the technology with the whole world, someone paid us a visit."
Steadmann looked at Henry with deep fear in his eyes, "We don''t know who they are, but they acted
in a simr fashion as you do. I believe you should know who they are better than me."
Henry leaned against the back of the chair and said, "Go on."
Steadmann swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "They warned us that we were not allowed to share this
technology with anyone for free. They even asked us to apply for a patent and sealed the
technology after announcing the technology to the world. They also said that we couldn''t keep Ailsa
alive. The Middleton family is powerlesspared to them, so we had to deal with Ailsa."
