Chapter 2244


    Mario had worked his way up to this point on his own, and he was so astute that he noticed the eye


    contact between Sean, Jadon, and the rest.


    However, he pretended not to see it. Whether it was due to his rtionship with Jadon or the fact that


    he had always chosen to keep his nose out of any affairs in Ocean City, he would not spread today’s


    events.


    “Ol’ Winters, arrange a room for Mr. Lake to rest here for the night…” Jadon looked at Mario and said.


    Mario nodded and responded, “Of course, Mr. Lake is Greenview Hotel’s tinum member. We’ll


    naturally take good care of him.”


    “Let’s ignore him and drink then!” Jadon nced at the sleeping Titus and said with augh

    While Sean and others were drinking to their hearts’ content, Kennedy and Curtis sat at home with


    gloomy expressions. Only a few insect chirps rang outside the yard in the night.


    “Dad, are we just going to forget what happened today?” Curtis asked in a deep voice, hatred


    glimmering in his eyes.


    Kennedy nced at him, slowly got up, and looked up at the stars.


    “The Lake family is no longer what it used to be. With our power now, few people in Ocean City dare to


    oppose the Lake family! Sean’s just a little bastard from out of town. How dare he send me coffins


    because Michael, Theodore, and Jadon have his back!”


    “Tell me everything you know about Sean…” Kennedy said slowly.


    Although his voice was calm, it was icy.


    Curtis’s expression changed slightly before he slowly said,” As far as I know, Sean owns Optimus


    Security Services and Optimus Clinic. He seems to be a skilled doctor. He treated Theodore and


    Michael, which is why they’re with him. I don’t know his story with Jadon yet… Also, Optimus Security


    Services’ members are strong. They seem to have wiped out the Crimson as well.”


    Speaking of Crimson’s demise, Curtis clenched his hands tightly as his face darkened to the extreme.


    Crimson was the Lake family’s ace. Few people in Ocean City knew this.


    Over the years, Crimson had helped the Lake family eliminate theirpetitors. With their help


    destroyed, there was no way that Kennedy and Curtis were not angry.


    “Can you confirm that Optimus Security Services took down Crimson?” Kennedy asked in a cold voice,


    his piercing eyes locked on Curtis.


    Curtis froze. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “It’s highly likely. Christopher has


    asked Crimson’s assassins to kill Sean before. Other than that, Crimson hasn’t taken on any

    assignmentstely.”


    Kennedy nodded slightly and looked at Ocean City’s bright lights in the distance.


    His eyes full of the vicissitudes of life glimmered in the dark with an unknown brilliance. No one knew


    what the head of the Lake family was thinking.


    When Kennedy said nothing, Curtis left.


    In front of outsiders, he was the arrogant heir of the Lake family, but only he knew that he was an heir


    better kept under the table to Kennedy.


    The night was silent until the next morning.
