When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 The Truth Is a Double-Edged Sword

"Back then..."

Everett frowned and wanted to say something, but then stopped, as if she didn't want to recall anymore, "It's been so long, it's better not to mention it again. The most important thing is to live in the moment!"

"No!"

Shirley shook her head, subconsciously clenched her fingers, and said with a painful expression, "Back then, the Wilson family was originally the head of the top eight families. Later, too much brutality brought it close to extermination. I always wanted to avenge my parents, but before Grandpa died, he repeatedly made me swear to let it go, so I stayed silent for so long."

"But it doesn't mean that things didn't happen. For many years after that, I often dreamed of my parents falling downstairs in bloody pieces. When I think of my parents dying so miserably, and that my enemies are still at large, I suffer in pain and can't sleep. What's more, my brother's incident makes me hate them even more, so I must know the truth and avenge my brother and parents. I believe the person who kidnapped my brother back then should be the same person who killed my parents!"

These things were like a huge mountain, pressing down in Shirley's heart for many years. Perhaps she looked calm on the surface, as if she had already come out of the shadow of the family extermination.

In fact, the pain was like a shadow, it followed her, and she never got rid of it for a day.

Ever since she met Larry and learned of his painful experience, her desire for revenge had been blazing.

"I originally planned to investigate the murderer with my brother, and then avenge the Wilson family, and give my parents peace. Who knew that Braden had an accident, so it delayed the progress of revenge. Now that he is slowly getting better, it is time for me to get back on track..."

At this point, she held Everett's hand, which was grinding coffee beans, tightly and said solemnly, "So, I know what I'm doing. Stop persuading me. I've made up my mind. I just hope you can tell me everything you know, which is the best explanation for my parents."

"Alas, you kid! The stubbornness in you is exactly the same as in your mother. Why can't you live in peace for just one day?"

Everett let out a long sigh. She knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she said, "Back then, the Wilson family was the most prominent family in Seatie City, as well as the head of the top eight families. Naturally, there were countless enemies. When your mother was pregnant, she kept it a secret. Only we close friends knew about it. Even when your mother gave birth to a boy and a girl, she only announced that she had one daughter, but in the end, the news was still leaked. Your brother was taken away. We initially estimated that it was done by an acquaintance."

"An acquaintance?"

"Yeah. Or else it would be impossible for them to know the hospital where your mother gave birth, let alone know that she actually had two babies and took your brother away."

"And? Did you find the person who kidnapped my brother?"

Shirley couldn't wait to ask.

Everett shook his head. "Everyone thought that your brother was dead.

Back then, the Wilson family had countless enemies, and was only close to the Stewart family. The Wilson family and the Stewart family expended considerable human and material resources in the investigation. In the end, the Stewart family found your brother's body and got some clues..."

"What clues?"

"The Stewart family caught the person who kidnapped your brother. Under torture, they found out that they were from the Robinson family. The Wilsons had sought Gatt Robinson, but the Robinsons maintained that the man who had been captured was a traitor to the Robinsons, and that he was already a lackey of the Stewart family. Originally, the Wilsons and the Stewarts were feuding with the Robinsons, so the truth of the matter remained unknown. No one knows for sure. In the end, they could only end up killing the traitor."

"From what you said, the Stewart family and the Wilson family are both suspected?"

Shirley was deep in thought, and her feelings were mixed. "The 'traitor' who was the only one who knew the truth was killed, which is equivalent to having no proof.”

"Yeah, so it's not easy to pursue this matter. If you pursue it further, it will affect your relationship with Mr. Stewart."

Everett said helplessly, "After that incident, the relationship between the Wilson family and the Stewart family has become distant. After many years, the Wilson family has become more and more declining, but the Stewart family has improved. In the generation of Charles and Braden, the Stewart family directly replaced the Wilson family and became the new head of the top eight families. It's sad that the Wilson family ended up bankrupt."
