Theo chuckled, and that eased the atmosphere greatly.
The red light had turned green. I started the car.
"If I’m not mistaken, it must be Jordan’s instructions. He didn’t get what he wanted in Limbia but instead caused a lot of damage and gave the Fredericks huge problems. He's a vindictive person.
Instructing Anthony to make a scene is probably his way of declaring war with me."
I frowned. "He’s a huge problem, indeed."
Theo sneered. "The Fredericks themselves are a huge problem. They won’t hesitate to do anything in order to reach their goal. Anyone who messes with them will end up in trouble."
After hearing what he said, I grew curious about the Fredericks.
"Do you know the Fredericks very well?"
Theo looked at me and told me a story.
About 20 years ago, the Fredericks family's business was just a small textile company. It was far from the many industries it was running right now and the eye-popping annual earnings. Later, the company grew by leaps and bounds thanks to a woman who married into the family.
Back then, the Zimmersons, one of the four rich families', industrial chains were well-established and they ran a large number of industries. However, the Zimmersons had very few children. A part of the industry was handed over to an adopted daughter called Sandra Tyler. Although she was an adopted daughter, the Zimmersons treated her like their own, so when she married beneath her to the Fredericks, the industries she managed became her dowry.
I was stunned and asked with uncertainty," Is the Sandra Tyler you're talking about my adopted mother?"
