Chapter 659 An Unexpected Event


    "Surely enough, three dayster, Matteo''s was dumbstruck."


    "On the morning of that day, no sooner had he popped into the office than the authorities came for an


    investigation. It was beyond his imagination that hispany would actually be involved with the


    framing of the Harvey Group. Moreover, in the face of arge amount of evidence, his legal team could


    not reverse the case. Finally, the Jones Group''s luxury cars were forced to be banned and withdrawn


    from the global market once and for all. Not only that, the one hundred million dors that he had


    earned previously was all used up to pay the fine."


    "The peak of his fury was the rumors spreading within the market due to the authorities'' investigation,


    and the news media seemed to have caught wind of the news long ago and swarmed to theirpany,


    having a field day. Influenced by this bad news, the Jones Group stock took a nosedive, and its market


    value had shrunk by a hundred million. In the absence of an external bailout, and as it was sudden, the


    Jones Group was seriously damaged."


    "His investment in Sky Sword Group was directly dismissed by Zoe, thereby rendering all his


    investments invalid."


    "Under the dual pressure, Jones Group was hit in the vital part. It was greatly weakened and could no


    longer be revived. In addition, his sons did not know much about management. Just like that, in the


    next few decades, Jones Group would be struggling to stay afloat. They would no longer be able to be


    as powerful as they were. The previous glory would have been gone with the wind."


    "It didn''t help that the incident of Oscar being castrated by someone had dumbfounded him that he


    immediately passed out. Matteo was so furious that hey in the bed pitifully,menting endlessly."


    "Later, hey down on the hospital bed,nguishing in his own mental anguish. When he recalled the


    past, he found out that the Jones Group was most glorious when cooperating with Zoe. At that time,


    the Harvey Group had been battered by Zoe, teetering at the edge of the precipice."


    "It was only then that he finally understood that he had offended Zoe, and what he did was over-the-


    top!"


    "He lowered his head and epted his fate. However, from then on, the name Zoe Yates and even


    the word ''women'' scared the sh*t out of him whenever he thought of them. Therefore, he also earnestly


    warned his descendants not to mess with Zoe. Even if they were poorer than before, it wouldn''t


    matter. However, of course, that was doomed to be only an afterthought."


    "After dealing with them, Zoe felt invigorated, and even her self-confidence had ratcheted a few more


    notches."


    "After Libby received the money, he became fiercely loyal to her."


    "On that day, Zoe was sitting in front of the window, staring at theputer screen."


    "All of a sudden, she frowned, and her face was full of coldness."


    "That afternoon, Harvey Manor announced Sophia''s death to the outside world. To her, this


    announcement was a piece of good news. After all, it would be best if Sophia passed away at that


    time."


    "The more chaotic the Harvey family became, the greater the chance for her."


    That was the effect she wanted.


    "However, when she saw the news below, her expression turned dark."


    "The headline of the news was about Sophia''s death, but the following news rattled her core."


    "Although the news of Ruth''s death came only after Sophia''s news, it still packed a punch. After all, it


    was a murder case, not to mention that it had taken ce in Harvey Manor. This was no small matter."


    "Her brows were knitted tightly, and her face was devoid of expression."


    "Libby, she called out loudly."


    "Anymand, Miss Yates? Libby answered and came in."


    "Libby, Letty and Liya went into Sophia''s bedroomst night, didn''t they? she asked sternly, frowning."


    Libby also came across the news and knew what Zoe was referring to. He was a little flustered.


    "Could be. He carefully spected. ""Yesterday, I passed your order to Letty and asked her to think of


    a way to interrogate Sophia''s personal maid, Ruth. They probably snuck into her roomst night and


    interrogated her. I don''t know what happened, but they might have ended up killing her."""


    "Libby was following this train of conjectures, but he didn''t know who killed Ruth."


    "Fool! Stupidity at its finest! Zoe gritted her teeth and mmed her palm on the table. Zoe angrily


    cursed, her face turning ck."


    "The day before, she had instructed Libby to inform Letty to find a way to interrogate Sophia''s servant,


    Ruth. This woman had always been by Sophia''s side and had won her trust. Such a secret matter


    could be something her descendants might not be privy to, but chances were, she might be aware of it.


    After all, Sophia needed to keep such an important piece of jewelry a secret for so many years. It was


    evident that Sophia couldn''t do it alone. The person whom she had chosen had had to be particrly


    loyal or had something extraordinary to do with her. She was definitely someone whom she had


    thought highly of."


    "Therefore, she thought of starting with Ruth by coercion and enticement to see if she could find out the


    whereabouts of the jewelry."


    "The Ocean Heart was the treasure of the Harvey family. She had heard about it before Mars'' death.


    Back then in Europe, when this treasure was being auctioned off, a few well-known families had sent


    people over to buy it because they wanted to bet on its reputation."


    "As this treasure was a legend in the business world, whoever got their hands on it, their family and


    business would be prosperous for five generations toe. At that time, many people went to the


    auction to admire it."


    "However, none of them ever received this treasure. Instead, for some inexplicable reason, the auction


    was canceled."


    "Regardless, the few business tycoonster found out that Madam Lilian had employed political means


    to obtain the Ocean Heart and sent it to Harvey Manor. This was a piece of gossip. However, after


    spending so much time abroad, Zoe had gone to the museum in person. She learnt from an elderly


    that this treasure was indeed auctioned off by Madam Lillian because there was a record of it in the


    museum. This could not be wrong. Since it was not mistaken, it was absolutely possible that she had


    sent it to Harvey Manor."


    "In any case, Zoe believed that such a valuable family treasure would be stored somewhere in the


    Ink Garden or Harvey Manor. Therefore, she sent Letty to snoop around as an undercover in Harvey


    Manor for many years, but she had never discovered anything unusual. Some older servants in Harvey


    Manor had once, after drinking, loosened their lips that the treasure could only be handed to her

    daughter-inw. Now that Sophia was dead, the treasure should have been handed to Belle."


    "Initially, she thought that she could win over Calvin by using Liya to push away Belle. Then, she would


    marry Calvin and procure this treasure. Nheless, she understood that it was impossible. Especially


    after being yed by Oscar, she was even more discouraged."


    "When Sergio had mentioned it, she instantly understood that he was also looking for the treasure."


    "So, was it Letty or Liya who had killed Ruth when they went into the Ink Garden for interrogation, or


    was it Sergio''s man who did it? She couldn''t make up her mind."


    Her original intention was to let Letty and Liya know the whereabouts of the Ocean Heart through Ruth.


    She didn''t want to alert the enemy and make a n to find itter. She didn''t expect that such a thing


    would happen. Ruth had been killed.


    "If Liya and Letty had done this, then it would be too stupid. What if Sergio did it?"


    "Miss Yates, don''t be too anxious. Many people want that treasure. I don''t think Letty and the others did


    it. It''s likely for Sergio''s men to do it. After all, he is still living in Harvey Manor. If we could think of


    interrogating Ruth, then why not Sergio? Perhaps, Ruth discovered his evil intentions, causing him to


    fly into a rage and kill her. Libbyforted her in a soft voice."


    "Zoe also had an uncertain expression on her face. ""Then, in your opinion, could it be that Sergio


    had found out the whereabouts of the treasure from Ruth and then killed her?"""


    "Libby rolled his small eyes, shook his head, and answered, ""Miss Yates, the possibility is next to zero.


    Sergio is still a high-ranking official. He may want fancy treasures, but he doesn''t have to resort to


    murder for it."""


    Libby''s words made Zoe''s heart turn cold.


    It was not a good sign that the treasure had been involved in a murder case before it was found.


    She was anxiously pacing back and forth in her room.


    "Miss Yates, I guess it''s very likely that Liya and Letty did it. I called them today, but I couldn''t get


    through to any of them. Obviously. they are scared to pieces, Libby informed in a panic."


    "Zoe finished smoking a cigarette and uttered indifferently, ""How about this? Libby, prepare


    something and head to Harvey Manor for Sophia''s memorial."""


    Alright. Libby agreed and left the room.


    "However, after a while, he turned back and asked softly, ""Miss Yates, what kind of things do we need


    to prepare for the memorial?"""


    "Zoe rolled her eyes at him. If Octavia were here, then there was no need for her to worry about


    these things at all. Octavia would prepare everything and just followed her. It was obvious that Zoe


    could no longer find such a thoughtful person. Thinking of this, she felt lost."


    "Was it because she did not cherish her, or had she been incited by Belle, that b*tch? Recalling


    Octavia''s help in the past, she was depressed and just waved her hand. ""Forget it. I will prepare it


    myself."""


    Libby immediately retreated when he heard this.


    "The dark night was swirling with sand and pebbles, hitting their faces and bodies, causing them to


    ache badly."


    "Calvin and Albie Williamson hid next to another hill. After a short while, they could feel the sand and


    stone in their mouths and noses."


    Their eyes were fixed on another hillside. Calvin picked up a binocrs and looked at it from time to


    time.


    "The night was getting deeper. The sun was scorchingly hot in war-torn country during the day, but


    sand and stones were sweeping in the evening. The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. It


    was surprisingly cold."


    "Mr. Harvey, they''re about to move. Albie Williamson notified him softly as he stared in front of him. He


    poked Calvin, who was beside him, with his finger. With his binocrs, Calvin looked over at the other


    side of the hill. Surely enough, an emergencymp and shlight appeared. His spirit was instantly


    roused."


    "All of this waiting was for this moment! Belle''s face appeared in his mind, as well as Jerry''s tender


    face. He gripped the gun in his hand tightly."
