Asa nodded.
“Yes, sir.”
Then she left.
Once Aaron was alone, he took a slow drag from his cigar.
And suddenly, an unfamiliar emotion began spreading through his chest.
Something he almost didn’t recognize.
Aaron wanted answers fast, and Gray didn’t dare waste any time.
Within just three hours, he had gone back through the entire chain of events.
Previously, when they investigated things in Harbor City, all their attention had been on the Wright family.
They had never expected that behind the Wrights, that person had actually...
The Wright family had been the perfect cover.
Every clue had pointed toward them.
And just like that, the truth had remained buried.
When Aaron read Gray's findings, the dark pressure already surrounding him became even heavier.
He closed his eyes for a moment.
“Clyde.”
The name came out through clenched teeth.
Cold fury flashed in his eyes, filling the entire study with danger.
The Clyde family had always been at odds with the Hogarths.
Over the years, no matter what business interests were involved, the two families had competed viciously against each other.
And the feud between them went all the way back to an attempted marriage alliance.
Back then, the Clyde family hadn’t been nearly as powerful as the Hogarths.
One of their daughters had set her sights on Michael Hogarth, hoping to marry into the family.
She had tried every manipulative trick she could think of to get close to him.
All it had done was make Michael despise her more.
Later, she went to see Michael one day and never returned.
By the time she was found, she was already dead.
The Clyde family became convinced Michael had killed her.
And given what kind of man Michael had been back then, it wasn’t exactly difficult to believe.
He certainly seemed capable of something like that.
From that point on, the two families became sworn enemies.
But if it really had been the Clyde family who targeted Aaron and Stella’s mother...
Why?
Michael had hidden her so carefully.
He had concealed her existence well even in Harbor City.
So how had the Clydes discovered her?
