Chapter 1997


    Grayson walked toward the wall and pressed a button that was disguised as a brick. The wall


    suddenly moved and a secret drawer popped out.


    He picked up a pile of documents and returned.


    Jenson was in disbelief as he uttered, "These... Are these the files on my grandpa''s affairs and


    rtionships?"


    Grayson put the files on the table, ced his hand on the mountain of documents, and said, "This is


    only the information of the affairs that your Grandpa Jacob had. His siblings’ records are equally


    impressive."


    Jenson''s expression turned ugly as he murmured angrily, "He''s moribund but it doesn’t stop him


    from being a phnderer. He''s clearly not afraid of dying from exhaustion."


    Then, he pulled out the file on Madam Nephele from the stack and scanned through the document.


    Before long, Jenson threw Nephele Davis'' file on the table. His eyes widened as he said, "Madam


    Nephele is quite mysterious. Not only does she know how to use poison, but she has even


    managed to wiggle herself out of a few criminal charges. How could such a wise woman submit to


    Jacob Ares, a man with a family?"


    Grayson said, "After she got together with your grandfather, she became his right-hand woman. It


    didn''t take long for her to give birth to a daughter. However, the strange thing is that their daughter


    isn’t spoiled like the other children of the Ares family. Instead, they made her be a maid of the


    Ares family."


    Jenson was surprised. "Faith?"


    Grayson nodded.


    Jenson said, "Madam Nephele is strange and unpredictable. It''s hard to figure her out. It seems that


    I need to meet her myself."


    Grayson said, "You must be careful. Madam Nephele was under investigation for a few murders, but


    she was released because there was always insufficient evidence. I’ve seen the reports for those


    cases and I believe that she had something to do with all of them. The victims’ deaths were


    mysterious and seemed to b e caused by an animal. Sir, you have to be careful."


    Jenson said, "That’s interesting. I have to meet her, then."


    "I’ll send some bodyguards along to protect you."


    Jenson thought about it for a while and said, "I don’t want to alert her. I''ll go alone."

    Grayson was really worried. "Sir..."


    "I''ll be careful." Jenson walked off as soon as he said that.


    That night, Jenson quietly went to the backyard of Madam Nephele''s Mammoth Courtyard.


    Mammoth Courtyard had five entry points. It was built and inspired by the Renaissance. The front


    was a magnificent courtyard. However, the back was well hidden. It only had one floor and was


    surrounded by towering trees. It made the area look gloomy.


    Jenson climbed onto a tree in the corner of the backyard with the help of some equipment. The


    thick leaves were the perfect cover for him.


    Jenson could see the entire courtyard from here.


    The quaint and simple courtyard surprised Jenson.


    Madam Nephele did a good job managing their side of the family business. It was more than


    reasonable for her to ask Jacob Ares for afortable life.


    However, she sent her daughter to be a servant in the Ares family while she lived in a shabby yard.


    Did she despise prosperity and wealth?


    What a mysterious woman.


    Jenson looked for Madam Nephele, and finally, in a room in the north yard, he saw her.


    The window had a small opening. He saw Madam Nephele lowering her head and fidgeting with her


    cuffs. Suddenly, Madam Nephele raised her head without any warning and stared outside the


    window.


    Jenson was very surprised. He was well-hidden, but


    Madam Nephele seemed to have noticed him.
