Chapter 476
Chapter 476 The Mahoney Family That Has Disappeared
“I own Universe Group. So what if I turn it upside down? It’s none of your business anyway,” Gerald
nced at Howard and Adrien beside him and said indifferently.
Hearing Gerald’s words, Howard and Adrien were shocked. Their expressions changed abruptly.
They were among the richest in Anta. However,pared to otherrge enterprises and rich families
in the country, they were nothing.
Before Cayden was in trouble, what Cayden was worth was far greater than Howard and Adrien.
“How … is this possible? You are the boss of Universe Group behind the scenes? I don’t believe it!”
Howard said in disbelief.
“What do I care if you believe me or not?” Gerald shrugged indifferently.
Next to them, Cayden was on the phone. He walked to a rtively quiet corner. After hanging up the
phone, he ran back, looking excited. He pulled Gerald’s hand and said, “Gerald, it’s done. I will go to
Sacramento the day after tomorrow to sign the agreement with Mr. Hanson. Thank you so much this
time.”
Gerald smiled and said, “Don’t mention it.”
Gerald then looked at Howard and Adrien and said to Cayden, “Please get these two out now. I have
something to ask you.”
Cayden raised his head and looked coldly at Howard and Adrien. He said indifferently, “Adrien, I have
already sessfully gotten the investment now, and I believe thepany can manage the crisis. I
don’t need to trouble you anymore. You may go back.”
Adrien and Howard seemed embarrassed. Howard then looked at Joselyn next to him.
Joselyn said coldly, “Forget it. No more agreement between us.”
Howard and Adrien gritted their teeth and looked at Gerald, yet they did not dare to act up.
With just a phone call, Gerald managed to have Universe Group invest 1.6 billion dors in Cayden’s
company. Obviously, Gerald was telling the truth.
The boss behind Universe Group was so mysterious that it never urred to them that it was actually
such a young man.
Suddenly, Cayden said indifferently, “By the way, Adrien, you take advantage of me while I’m in a crisis.
Rest assured. I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll see you in business.”

Adrien’s expression changed slightly. He thought, damn! Both Cayden and I do business in Anta.
This time he has a crisis, and I want to rip him off. Now that he has survived the crisis, I’m sure he’ll get
even with me. Thinking of this, he panicked slightly.
There was already a gap between Adrien and Cayden’spanies. And now, Cayden even obtained a
large investment from Universe Group.
Adrien figured that he might have to suffer from now on.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the impatience on Cayden’s
face, he could only smile bitterly deep down and then walk out.
After he left, Cayden let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, thank you.”
“It’s nothing. Well…” Gerald said and nced at Joselyn secretly.
Joselyn was sizing Gerald up strangely, finding him kind of weird.
When she met Gerald’s eyes, her pretty face slightly flushed.
Cayden coughed and said, “Joselyn, you should go back to the office. I have something to discuss with
Gerald.” Joselyn muttered, “Is there anything that I can’t hear? Is it really necessary to talk behind my
back? Come on!”
Although she wasining, she still obediently walked out. After she left, Cayden said, “I wonder
why you are here.”
Before Gerald said anything, Belinda took off her sunsses and looked at Cayden. The corners of her
mouth slightly raised as she said, “Mr. Fenn, do you still remember me?”
Gerald looked at Belinda in surprise. Apparently, judging from Belinda’s words, she knew Cayden.
Then Cayden found it made sense. ording to Belinda, the Charlton family was also a top family in
Anta about forty years ago. Also, she and Cayden were about the same age, and both of them were
among the richest. Knowing each other was nothing but normal.
“You are…” Cayden sized Belinda up. Then he said suspiciously, “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I don’t remember
you.”
Belinda smiled and said, “Belinda.”
Cayden’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Belinda in shock and said, “You are Ms.
Charlton!”
Belinda nodded and said, “Yes.”
“How… How is this possible? You look so young.” Cayden was shocked. Then he said, “And… I
thought you died in the ident 40 years ago.”
Belinda looked like she was only in her thirties, which waspletely impossible for Cayden, who was
the same age as her.
Although Cayden was among the richest, he did not have many connections with the underworld. The
only one he had contact with was Gerald.
Belinda smiled and said, “I survived by luck.”
“You know each other?” Gerald asked.
Cayden nodded and said, “Yes. I started my business about 40 years ago. In fact, Ms. Charlton’s family
was my first investor. They invested 32 thousand dors, and mypany thrived thanks to that. When
I wanted to repay them, unfortunately, something happened to Ms. Charlton’s family…”
Gerald thought, 32 thousand dors in the 80s is a lot of money.
I’m stunned. I have no idea there was such a connection between Cayden and Belinda.
He smiled and said, “What a coincidence. We came here this time regarding the 40–year–old incident
you just mentioned. We are interested in the other major party, the Mahoney family. They seem to have
disappeared in Anta. Do you know where they are now?”
Cayden sighed and said, “It’s in fact very strange. The Mahoney family has always had a great
influence in Anta. After the downfall of Ms. Charlton’s family, they became the top family in Anta,
and their status was unchallenged. Besides, they could be said to be one of the most prestigious
families in the country. However, about 20 years ago…”
He exhaled and continued, “About 20 years ago, the Mahoney family disappeared overnight.”
“Disappeared overnight? What does that mean?” Gerald asked with a frown.
“At the beginning of the 21st century, all the people living in the Mahoney’s home disappeared. As a
result, many of the Mahoney family’s industries were in great turmoil. Later, some people took over
their businesses. After that, those from the Mahoney family were rarely seen in Anta. Or it’s possible
that even if they showed up, others didn’t know they were from the Mahoney family. Anyway, their
previous house was empty, and it wasn’t until around 2005 that some people moved in. Maybe they
bought the ce or something else,” Cayden said after thinking.
Then he continued while deep in thought, “There must still be members of the Mahoney family. It’s just
that they somehow suddenly became incognito. I’m sure their properties are certainly still in their
names, but they have chosen not to manage them themselves.”
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, “Although people im that I’m the richest man in Anta, I
feel that the Mahoney family is still very influential in Anta given their invisible family business.”
Gerald was speechless when he heard Cayden’s words. He thought, what the heck? Is the Mahoney
family one of the recluse families?
“Is there any way to find out where they live now?” Gerald asked.
Cayden stroked his nose and said, “How about this? I’ll try to find out for you. Maybe we can find some
clues through their previous industries.”
Gerald nodded and said, “OK. Thanks. The sooner the better.”
Cayden nodded and said, “Don’t mention it. By the way, I have arranged your hotel. When you are
done, you can go to the hotel and check in directly. I have arranged two rooms for you, just like you
requested.”
Gerald nodded and said, “Alright.”
After Gerald instructed Cayden a few words, he and Belinda took a car from Cayden. After asking for
the address of the hotel, they left Cayden’spany. When they went downstairs, Belinda thought for
a while and said, “Let’s pay a visit to the Mahoney family’s old house.”
