The death of Thomasin the bem spread quickly like wildfire.


    Folding the newspaper, with the expression on his face turned increasingly agitated, he understood the feeling of being at risk for the first time.


    Since the day whenthe HT Pharmaceutical Group(HTPG)fell, Thomashad been sent into the bem, and was killed that evening.


    If his death was not due to suicide, then the identity of the murder would then be clear enough – Leowas the only one who had the motives to do so.


    “The things you want are here, Mr. Lawson.” At this moment, a man with a in look strode into the living room, and delivered a sealed package to Peter.


    “Anynews?” Peter asked after a pause.


    The man nodded, “I’m profession, Mr. Lawson.”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Very good!” Petersaid with joy, and gave the man a bank card.


    He was a private detective hired byPeterwith a huge sum of money, and his dutywasto spy on each single movement of Leo.


    He had to figure out why Leo, a pathetic good-for-nothing fromthe Ford family, was able to wield so much power.


    In haste, Peterunwrapped the package, and there were a few photographs drifted down from the inside.


    In the photograph, there was the image of Leo, who was having dinner with her daughter Emiliaand her wife Lydiain a restaurant.


    Looking at the pictures, Peterwas dumbfounded, and wondered how the two got together.


    Standing aside, the detective said, “ording to their behavior and facial expressions, I think they are a couple, and as for Leo, I think the reason why he could bring you so many troubles is that there is someone behind supporting him.”


    With the photograph in hand, Peter’s facewas distorted with anger.


    “It’s you, Lydia! You are the one behind that little shit, you wanton bitch covered with a skin of delicacy and dignity!”


    Peterhad once attended the wedding ceremony of Lydia, and knew that her husband was a bigwig supported by a strong military background. However, she chose to stay with Leo, and thus many of his bewilderment would then be resolved.


    Peterughed with a fiendish smile, “Now, I’ve got something on you, Lydia! How dare you ever y with another boy when your husband is not around? If a man as poor as Leocould ever stand by your side, then every single man around the world will be qualified enough to do so!”


    Giggling for the rapid progress of the thing, he came up with a vicious n in his mind.


    “Greetings, Mr. Lawson. Old Mr. Lawsonis looking for you.”Suddenly, the butler came in and said to Peter.


    “OK.” Peternodded, telling the detective to leave and then stepping inside the study.


    “I heard that you were looking for me, father.” Looking at a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa and reading newspaper, Peter said.


    Although he was in his fifties, his skin was kept tightened and smooth.


    With dashing eyebrows, bright eyes and a delicate gold-rimmed ss, he looked cultivated and literate.


    “I have heard about everything.” The man, whose name wasGrayson Lawson, said inly, “Once, Ithought I can still have hopes of you. However, it seems that you are still inferior toKate.”


    Hearing that, Peter looked ahead open-eyed, with a shadow of hostility and wrath hid inside of his eyes.


    “However, she is a woman after all.” Looking at Peter,Graysonsaid, “And she don’t pump the same blood as we do, so she shall never be the one leading the whole family.”


    “Yes, exactly!”With a wrathful expression on his face, Petershouted, “She is not one of us! She is only someone entrusted to grandpa by his friend! But why did grandpa hand over the leading position to her?”


    “Is that really what your grandpa wanted?” Graysonlooked at Peterseriously, and then sighed, “Kate, this little girl is even smarter than some of the mature men in our family.”


    “When she was old enough to know that she was nothing more than an outsider to us, she changed her second name to ‘Lawson’ in order to please us. And as for the car ident when she was fifteen, it was merely a showscripted y directed by herself in order to convey the information that she would never put her hands in the business ofthe Grayson family. Just think about it – will a girl who dared to murder herself ever conceal her own ambition?”


    “We have never considered her as one of our family, and, in turn, shewasalso watchful and alert in the face of us. The old man had long realized her essence, and tried everything he could to drive her out of the family. The best way, was to marry her off to a small family, and the most ideal candidate would be Leo ofthe Ford family.”


    “However, she had long seen through the n of the old man as well, and said she would only ept the proposal if themanshe was marrying was going to be adopted intothe Grayson family. As a result, the whole n hasactually aplished her on the contrary.”


    Saying so,Graysonoffered a helpless sigh.


    If Leowere here, he would be most likely to be shocked, since it was exactly the truth behind his marriage withKate.


    As for the rest of the story, it had been clear for everyone.Katetookadvantage of Leo and obtained the business secrets ofthe Ford family. After the disappearance of Leoat his wedding ceremony withKate,Katethen rampantly put her hands to devourthe Ford family’s business and annexed more than half of the family’s property. From then on, she thus became stronger and stronger.


    As her strength and influence grew day by day,Katesoon exposed no more of her ambition, and dominated the whole family at the end.


    Graysonsighed to Peter, “What makes the disparity between you andKateis experience and sophistication. You are too haughty, my son, and you still need some real challenges to make yourself grow, only by which you can narrow the gap between you and the woman.”


    Hearing the truth from his dad and looking at him nkly for a long period, Peterfound himself dumbfounded.


    “It would be beneficial for you to learn from your previous failure.”Graysoncasted Peter a meaningful eye, and continued, “Whether you are going to seed or not is totally up to your further actions.”


    “I shall not let you down, dad.” Answered Peter.


    Then, Peterleft the study, with a sullen and ill-affected face.


    He waspletely irritated by his loss of Kate and the unpredictable attitude ofLydia.


    He couldn’t wait anymore to implement the scheme in his mind.


    At that moment, the butler stepped inside againand said, “There a a guest who wants to see you, Mr. Lawson.”


    Knitting his brows, he remembered that no one had been appointed to visit today.


    “No, I don’t want to see him.” He rejected directly.


    “But the guest said his second name was Reyes.” Answered the butler.


    With the expression on her face changed, he said after a while of hesitation, “Let him in.”


    Soon, a nice-looking man dressed in a white suite came in with a smiling face.


    Looking at the face of the man, Peterwas stunned, “You are…”


    He thought the man was Cedric, but he was not.


    “It’s my honor to be able to see you, Mr. Lawson. My name isEddie.” Bending down a little, the man made an elegant bow and said.


    “Eddie?”


    The familiar name of the man seemed to ur to Peterabout something. Soon, as his face turned pale, Peteryelled, “You are the psychopath who molested my cousinKate!”


    “Ah, your sister, a beautiful and delicatedy. However, I have never molested her, and I was just, you know, appreciating her beauty.” Without being irritated by his words, Eddielooked ahead with unvarnished adoration in his eyes, “However, I’m here looking for you today, not Miss. Lawson.”


    “And what brings you to me?”Asked Peter.


    “I believe that you have already heard the news of my father’s death, and it seems that we have amon enemy,” Said Eddie, “which means that we are all thinking about the same thing.”


    “But can you bring me?” Peter stared at him with sharp eyes and asked.


    Eddiegrinned, and took out a photograph of Lydia, “Do you want her, Mr. Lawson?”


    In a sudden, as Petercaught sight of the picture, the look on his face thenturned panic as if his mind was read.


    At the next moment, with aharsh hissing sound, Eddieteared that picture apart, and then made a phone call in front of Peter.


    “I want her, now!” Eddiesaid to the phone.
