Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1357

Chapter 1357 The Hofstead Family

Colton took the laptop over to take a look at Kendrick's information. The files contained some pieces of information that weren't available to the public, and these were the pieces of information that Colton had been looking for. The details that were available on the internet were merely things that Kendrick wanted others to know—these weren't details that everyone really wanted to find out about.

"He's from the Hofstead Family?" Colton mumbled to himself as he looked at Kendrick's past identity thoughtfully.

"Surprising, right? I was surprised, too. I can't believe he's part of the Hofstead Family." Beryl raised an eyebrow as he stared at Colton. When Beryl first found out about the news, he had been shocked as well. I can't believe that someone from the Hofstead Family managed to attain such a high position when most of their members ended up in prison or on the streets more than ten years ago, Beryl thought.

Colton's gaze darkened as he stared at the details listed on his laptop. He fixed his gaze on the few words that had caught his eye. The Hofstead Family used to work closely with the Gardners, but that was more than ten years ago. The Gardners had always held more power than the Hofsteads. However, the Hofsteads were a wild and greedy bunch—they were keen to surpass the Gardners, and they had attempted to attack the Gardners a few times in the past. Fortunately for the Gardners, Benjamin wasn't an easy target.

Naturally, Benjamin hadn't been pleased when the Hofsteads first provoked and attacked him back then. He got back at them a few times at the start, but the Hofsteads didn't seem to step down even after that. They continued to provoke the Gardners, and each time it happened, Benjamin would simply respond with a relatively merciful comeback. However, an accumulation of Benjamin's attacks eventually forced the Hofsteads into a corner. Eventually, the Hofsteads faced some severe issues in their internal divisions, resulting in the dissolution of their company. Some fewer savory activities that had been going on in their company were also exposed at this point in time, and the family went bankrupt after that. Several of their members were arrested and jailed.

"If Kendrick's from the Hofstead Family, that gives him a clear motive to get revenge for them. Everything makes sense, then." Colton remained silent for a long while, and Beryl finally came up with a statement before sighing to himself. Colton's probably out of it now because he's worried about Nicole. I'd never seen him act the way he did before I showed up earlier.

"Yeah. Stop investigating the others. I want to focus on knowing more about Kendrick," Colton announced in a deep voice. His eyes were bloodshot when he looked up to meet Beryl's gaze.
