Standing beside his Land Rover, Logan looked up and said to ra, “Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”


    She shouldn’t have gotten too close to Horace’s enemy, but for some reason, ra didn’t hate Logan. She even had a feeling of indescribable closeness for him, so she agreed.


    She also had a lot of questions about Logan, she would like to know something, and perhaps Logan can answer that.


    Thinking of this, she nodded, Logan quickly opened the door like a gentleman, and let ra sit in.


    After sitting down, Logan quickly started the car.


    On the way, Logan said, “ra, I didn’t expect that you are Aunt Helena’s daughter.”


    ra nodded and said, “Yeah, I didn’t think my mom would know you either.”


    “I guess we have something inmon.”


    Logan gave ra a meaningful look. He found that ra’s profile was more beautiful than her front.


    Logan turned to look at the road ahead, the red light, and the car stopped.


    Logan suddenly said, “When I was young, Aunt Helena treated me very well and loved me very much. Unfortunately… It was cut short. I didn’t expect to see her again today.”


    “I heard from my mom, and she told me a lot of things that happened when you were young.”


    “That I was naughty?”


    ra replied, “No, my mother said you were very well-behaved, and smart, she liked you a lot and Laura too.”


    ra thought Logan would talk about Laura’s past, but he didn’t.


    Logan seemed to be more interested in ra and asked, “Where were you when Aunt Helens was working as a nanny at our house? Why didn’t I see you once?”


    “At the Middleton’s,” ra exined. “My mother said you didn’t like outsiders, so she sent me to the Middleton’s.”


    “Sorry.”


    “Why?”


    “If it weren’t for us, you probably wouldn’t be living at the Middleton’s House,” Logan told her earnestly. “I know a lot about the Middleton, and I don’t think they would be very nice to you.”


    “You were just a kid, anyway, it’s all over now.” ra was starting to get over it, “After all, Horace gave them hell for what my stepmother did, so I don’t hate them anymore.”


    The conversation was fine without mentioning Horace, but once she did, Logan turned into an alerted panther immediately.


    Logan said stiffly, “Who can tell if Horace is doing it for you or for something else? Don’t be so naive. Think of him so perfect. He’s a hypocrite!”


    ra didn’t like anyone badmouthing Horace in front of her, not one word.


    ra frowned. “Logan, don’t get so excited when you mention Horace, okay? Do you really know the whole incident back then? Maybe it’s not what you think.”


    “You are always so protective of Horace every time. Stupid girl!” Logan said mercilessly. “I’ve never seen such a stubborn woman like you. Stupid! You’re so stupid!”


    ra thought it would be pointless to talk about it any longer.


    She could only calm her tone, “Logan, let me off the car. I can walk back home.”


    Logan sensed the tension in the car. ra must have misunderstood him. But in fact, he was not against her.


    Logan said, “Please don’t take me wrong. I do not hate you. I only dislike Horace.”


    ra was embarrassed and said, “You may have misunderstood Horace. Didn’t the Hutchinson family look into it?”


    Logan was silent for a moment, and ra didn’t ask any more questions.


    Suddenly, Logan said, “At that time, the Hutchinson family was also in a difficult time and didn’t have much energy to investigate the matter.”


    ra was surprised that the Hutchinson family of the big three would have a hard time?


    Logan didn’t borate on the difficult times of the Hutchinson family, which he probably found difficult to talk about.


    ra returned to the magazine publishingpany.


    She didn’t know why she cared about Logan’s words so much, she wanted to get to the bottom of this.


    ra remembered that Stephanie had been at the magazine publishingpany for the longest, and perhaps she can shed some light on the Hutchinson family’s past.


    Stephanie recalled, and then looked through her old notebooks to answer ra’s questions.


    Stephanie said, “Ten years ago, the Hutchinson family was facing an unprecedented business crisis. Severalrge foreign conglomerates had suppressed the Hutchinson family group and were about to be swallowed up by other city conglomerates. The Hutchinson family group was almost at the end of its tether and was at stake.”


    Stephanie added, “As I recall, it was quite a big deal because the three Stratmont families were all connected. The crisis had also rmed people from the Jakovich and Kirnd families, but they have not stepped in to save them. They have been waiting and watching.”


    ra interjected, “Why aren’t they helping the Hutchinson family? I thought they were friends.”


    “That’s right. They would havee to the rescue. However, that year, the world economy was in crisis, and the two families were having a hard time as well. Therefore, they could only wait and see. They didn’t want the Hutchinson’s business to be acquired.”


    ra listened carefully to the story.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Stephanie added, “It’s not over yet.”


    “Anything else?” ra asked.


    “It’s not directly rted to thepany being crushed,” Stephanie said. “But Laura was kidnapped and disappeared at that very moment. What do you think the Hutchinson family was doing?”


    So behind the original kidnapping case, there were so many other factors. ra thought.


    Stephanie said, “Because Laura and Horace…”


    She hesitated, not knowing whether to tell ra about the kidnapping.


    ra said, “Stephanie, it’s okay. I heard about the kidnapping from Horace.”


    Stephanie was relieved, she continued, “Luckily Kirnd was there to help. Although Laura died in the fire, the Hutchinson family was unexpectedly helped by the Kirnd in the kidnapping case and was able to pull through. Otherwise, the Hutchinson family would be lost now.”


    Yeah. The Hutchinson family had been dismissed as a thing of the past.


    But ra has a hunch that the Hutchinson family’seback was just around the corner, as long as Logan did it well.


    ra said, “It must be because of Russell.”


    She thought Grandpa Russell must have been a legend in business.


    But Stephanie shook her head and dismissed ra’s idea.


    “You’re wrong, ra,” Stephanie said. “It wasn’t Russell. He was too sick to save the Hutchinson family back then, when Horace had been kidnapped.”


    “So…”


    Stephanie continued, “It’s Sean Kirnd, Horace’s older brother.”
