Chester smoked a packet of cigarettes, his inner boredom was still hard to hide, and the moment Romeo pushed the door open and entered, he was almost smoked out by the strong smell of smoke.
Romeo frowned, "You want to see me, brother?"
"Yes."
Chester pushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "Keep an eye on your sister-in-law's matter personally."
Sister-in-law? Alina?
Romeo wrinkled his brow as he looked at Chester.
After their first separation, Romeo was not in favour of them having another destiny, especially since Alina had been married to Caleb.
Although she couldn't be blamed for that incident from start to finish, for the moment, Chester had only just returned to the Spinster family, which was even more complicated internally than the Ajax family.
"Miss Ajax is her sister, and under the shelter of Miss Ajax, she will surely be safe." Romeo said in a cold and sullen tone.
Chester's gaze towards him was darker.
"You seem to have forgotten that the cheapest thing in the Ajax family is kinship." So what if they are sisters by blood?
Romeo met Chester's gloomy gaze with a chill down his back.
Without waiting for him to speak, Chester continued, "Have you forgotten how Carson Ajax died?"
H was blown to bits in that vast change of power in the Ajax family.
The power change, however, was personally stirred up by Sienna, and many people were destroyed in that battle, both in the side branches and in the direct line.
And at the young age of sixteen, Sienna sat in the position of heir with absolute control.
Fewer families had been lost on that one road of fishy bloodshed.
What was a sister to her?
"But big brother...", "Go." Before Romeo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chester.
Romeo's brow knitted.
Looking into Chester's cold and sharp eyes, his back unconsciously broke out in layers of fine sweat at this moment.
In all the years, he had never seen Chester have that kind of sharp eyes.
"Romeo, you think of us that way too?"
He and Alina had a bumpy road ahead and Romeo was always by his side.
He couldn't have been more aware of what happened back then, but at this point, his hesitation was a questioning of them.
"Then why did you do that to her?" At this moment Romeo asked the most intuitive question in his mind.
Alina suffered the pain in the guardianship of her families, knowing that the man that night was Caleb.
No one knew what kind of pain he was in during that time, and Romeo saw it clearly.
He suffered to the point of self-harm.
If he loved her so much, then afterwards, after Vanessa's death, why did he take revenge on her in that way?
And at this moment, when Romeo asked why he had treated Alina that way at that time, under Chester's eyes was an unprecedented pain.
"Edison is not just son of grandpa."
Wass there something more complicated inside this?
Edison, a man of great depth and maliciousness, used to destroy all at the cost of all time.
