Chapter 995
At that time, they were in the Richards Manor courtyard. It could be considered a special training
ground where they seldom went.
Back then, he stood outside while Hansen yed with his two sons in the room. He didn''t know
what they were ying, but it must have been interesting.
He was curious and went to have a look, and Alvin did not stop him from doing so.
He saw the father and son trio confronting each other. Jepherson stood in front of Santiago,
defending his brother. Back then, Santiago was young. He poked his head out to nce at Hansen.
The father and son faced each other for a while. Hansen called the two children over and told them
something as the two children nced at each other. Before Jepherson could speak, Santiago said,
"As long as Jepherson is well, I''m willing to do anything."
Later, the two sons of the Richards family changed. The eldest son, Jepherson, became calmer and
more reserved, turning into a man from a noble family in Capital City. He was well-
behaved and never got into trouble with others.
While the other sibling continued to run amok outside, causing chaos in Capital City.
Stuart did not understand the meaning of it when he was a child, but after Alvin''s exnation, he
understood one thing.
In a ce like Capital City, it wasmon to see the powerful oppressing the weak, However, that
was not the scariest thing that could happen. In fact, it was even more terrifying when there were
conflicts between parties and feuds between affluent and powerful families.
Alvin said that if one wanted to have a stable foothold in Capital City, then one had to have certain
abilities. It seemed like one had to climb up to the heavens to be able to reach the ground.
Back in the day, the Richards family was not the most powerful family in Capital City. As they
continued to expand their operations in Capital City, they did not win each and every one of their
matches and were just lucky. With Hansen''s shrewdness, few could defeat him. Thus, the title of the
wealthiest family in Capital City came to the Richards family.
However, the more powerful and influential one was, the more one was envied by others. The
wealthier the family, the more they were afraid of experiencing a downfall.
If something happened, then no one would have lent a helping hand.
People were selfish. Only blood rtives would be willing to help out.
One could only yield what one sowed. Only if could one give in could one maintain peace in the
world.
As the saying went, the higher one stood, the more miserable one would be if one fell.
Alvin had mentioned that it was too heavy of a burden for one person from the Richards family to
bear the weight of Capital City, so they would have two members of their family dominating it.
With that, Capital City belonged to the Richards Family.
Stuart didn''t understand those words at the time, but he knew that Hansen was a really terrifying
man.
Stuart gradually knew what Alvin had meant. He implied that one couldn''t bear the responsibility of
overseeing the whole of Capital City, meaning that Jepherson couldn''t withstand a stable hold of it
alone, with Santiago backing him up, as one stood in the light while the other guard in the dark.
Who would dare to challenge the two siblings sitting on the throne?
To put it nicely, the Richards family raised a second son, who was ignorant and ipetent, and
the first one, who was a shrewd and strong young man. In other words, they raised a devil in the
chaotic world who feared no one, and a dark and scheming Jepherson.
The two brothers guarded each of their territories. Who dared to provoke them if they were to join
forces?
That day, Stuart understood that the Richards family wanted to dominate Capital City in its entirety.
They had to keep Capital City within their grasp in the future.
Besides, Stuart had known since he was young that Jepherson''s temper was worse than
Santiago''s. Santiago had suffered a loss since he was a child. It waste autumn when Santiago
climbed over the wall to find someone to y with but was stopped by a group of people from the
Moore Family when he had been outside.
He was beaten up. Truthfully, it was not serious as he only had a p on the face. Santiago held a
grudge after he returned home.
Stuart didn''t notice anything serious about the wound. Santiago himself got into a fight with others
and had them suffer from worse injuries.
As a result, Jepherson got dressed and left
Richards Manor that night. He didn''te back for the whole night.
The next day, rumors had it that the Moore family''s kid had both his legs fractured for some reason,
and he had not been able to heal well. As for where the kid had gone, Stuart himself didn''t know as
well.
At that time, the Moore family was still incredibly powerful while the Richards family was a big deal
as well.
Since then, some said that Santiago had disabled the kid from the Moore Family. But no one dared
to confront that matter with the Richards family.
That was when Mr. Santiago''s name was upheld in Capital City.
It was quite intimidating to think that since he did not take the Moore family seriously, who else
would he have paid attention to?
"How''s the investigation going?" Jepherson patted Raeleigh and asked Stuart at the same time. The
coldness on his face showed how displeased he was with the incident.
The car had targeted Raeleigh. In other words, they were intending to kill her.
Jepherson took a look at Raeleigh before his gaze fell on Stuart. Stuart said, "The car has been
found. It was stolen."
"Stolen?" Jepherson furrowed his brows. "As long
as it didn''t magically appear out of nowhere, it
wouldn''t be difficult to find its owner."

"We''ve looked into it. Now, it seems that someone is trying to harm Raeleigh. It might be someone
from the Moore Family." Stuart had thoroughly investigated Raeleigh''s background. Although he
had not found anything about Raeleigh''s and Novalie''s rtionship or where the pair came from, it
seemed that someone had been following them for a long time, seeking an opportunity to frame
Raeleigh, rather than carrying out revenge by someone who had a grudge against Raeleigh.
"I discovered that when we came, the car was not stolen yet. The owner of the car is a young girl, a
student. The car was stolen in the underground parking lot of her own house. It means that these
people intended to make a move after knowing that we were around."
As Stuart analyzed the situation, Jepherson thought for a moment and asked, "Did you call
Santiago?"
"Yes. He didn''t say anything about it." Even Stuart himself couldn''t figure out Santiago''s thoughts.
He couldn''t even figure out Jepherson, much less Santiago.
Jepherson slightly frowned. "It''s possible, but it''s not Flynt who did it. He''s hospitalized now. First of
Jepherson patted Raeleigh as he said that. Stuart thought for a moment before saying, "Is it
Yousif?"
all, he doesn''t have the time, and the other reason
is that he doesn''t intend to kill Raeleigh. He wants
to make use of her to destroy the rtionship
between Zorion and me."
"Quirina is the crucial point. She hasn''t shown up yet. Search for her and her mother, Meica."
"Alright."
"If there''s nothing else, then please send someone to the orphanage. Tell them that I have
something to do and will personally handle the gifts in a few days. As for the money, you should go
ording to what we agreed on, and transfer the money to them. It''s going to be autumn soon, so
the children will need to buy some warm clothing."
"Young Master, you''re kind- hearted, and the children in the orphanage will be very grateful." Stuart
knew it well as he used to be an orphan.
Jepherson waved his hand while Stuart left the room.
Raeleigh turned over. Jepherson moved andy down. His feet couldn''t be lowered, so hey t,
trying to fall into sleep by closing his eyes.
After the anaesthetic started to wear off, Jepherson''s legs began to ache. The pain made him
unable to fall asleep. Soon, his forehead began to break out in a sweat.
