Chapter 947

The group returned to the Brooks Villa again.

This time back, everyone's mood was different.

Half an hour ago, Nell and the rest arrived at the airport and were prepared to get on the plane, but Gideon suddenly received a phone call. He immediately informed them, so they got down from the plane together and hurried back to the village.

It turned out that Gideon had seen that something was off with Grandpa Brooks. Although the old man seemed to be open and straightforward, he was in fact hiding something.

However, he was not as direct as Nell as to confront the old man. Instead, he quietly arranged for two people to monitor the Brooks Villa for any movement.

Unexpectedly, right after they left, Gideon received the news.

His people said that Grandpa Brooks left the villa in the middle of the night and headed to the edge of the village.

Gideon knew that something was wrong, so he quickly brought the group and rushed over to the village. That was when they saw the scene of Grandpa Brooks speaking to the man in black.

At this point, how could they not understand?

Nell did not expect that things would turn out even more unpredictable than she initially thought.

At that moment, everyone was sitting in the living room of the villa, and the atmosphere was awkward.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Soon, Gregory pushed the door open and came in.

Vickie hurriedly walked over and asked, "How is it? Did you manage to catch that person?"

Gregory's expression was glum as he shook his head in despair.

Gideon was not surprised by this.

That was because the person did not look ordinary. Moreover, it was dark out and Gregory was unfamiliar with the terrain here. Thus, it was only natural that he would not be able to catch that person.

He turned to look at Grandpa Brooks.

"Grandpa Brooks, shouldn't you explain this matter to us?"

The old man’s face was also very grim.

At that time, Grandpa Brooks did not have his usual smug look. He just looked sorrowful as he sat there unmoving, like a statue.

Nell asked in a solemn voice, “Grandpa, since we already know of this matter, we can’t just let it be. Even if you don’t tell us, we’ll still find out, but it’ll just waste our efforts and time. We can still wait for a couple of months. Ask yourself, can you afford to wait so long? Can your great-granddaughter, Flora, afford it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old man visibly shivered.

After a while, he sighed quietly.

"I know I can’t hide it any longer, and I have no intention of deliberately hiding it from you anymore. I'm just wondering how I'm going to tell you about it."

The group of them frowned in unison.

Grandpa Brooks was silent for a while longer before he spoke slowly.

"The story begins 60 years ago...”

Sixty years ago, when times were still very turbulent, Grandpa Brooks was an orphan out on the streets and made a living in the chaotic world with his skills.

He met Old Madam Quinton and another man by accident. They supported each other in the chaotic world and became good friends.

Later, when Old Madam Quinton married Old Master Leith, she left them. While they wished her well, they did not bother to keep in contact with her because of their different statuses and paths.

The two men were as close as brothers, sharing the same blessings and hardships, and they survived the most chaotic period with great difficulty.

They made a lot of money by dealing with antiques and originally thought they would find a place to settle down and do business together. In the end, they had a disagreement.

Inevitably in this line of work, the two of them got involved with a lot of illegal things in between. Some of which were so big that it was not too much for them to be beheaded.

Although they earned a lot, they were constantly risking their lives for it.

Both of them were married and had children by then. The other wanted to settle down and Grandpa Brooks understood.

What he did not understand was why the other man had to tell his wife all those things that the two of them had done over the years.

In his opinion, this was a big problem.

That was because he always believed that there were no well-kept secrets in this world, and there was no one who would not betray the other. Even if they were husband and wife.

The only two kinds of people who would not betray each other were either the ones who did the deed together or the ones who were dead.

Therefore, Grandpa Brooks was tempted to kill his brother’s wife at that time. Due to this, they had a big fight and finally broke up.

Later, he accidentally discovered that the other man's brother-in-law was actually a police officer.

He panicked at the time. Coupled with his paranoia, he drank too much wine and originally wanted to go to his brother to talk to him again so that he could clean up the matter and not leave any trouble for himself.

Unfortunately, his brother was not home that day, and only his wife was home with their newborn child.

Grandpa Brooks and his brother’s wife quarreled over a few words, and in a fit of rage, he thought of the threat the woman posed and killed her by mistake.

He was dazed but sobered up by then. Just then, his brother came back and saw his wife lying in a pool of blood, and naturally, fought him to the death.

Grandpa Brooks had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts was said to be unmatched by anyone, so he killed his best friend as well.

In the end, he left behind a child less than a month old.

He originally thought of killing the child too, but perhaps because he was soft-hearted, or perhaps because he felt that a one-month-old child was no threat to him, he left the baby alone and stumbled away.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 946 Another Reason Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 That night, he packed up his things and left the city, never looking back and never mentioning the past again.

It was not until later when his two sons and daughter-in-law died in accidents.

At the time, he did not suspect anything because he was not in the same city as his sons. He had also inspected the bodies and found nothing wrong with them.

Then, there was the death of his grandson and his wife.

This time, however, he found something wrong.

Although they died in a car accident, he found out that the accident was caused by a person.

Someone had tampered with their car. That was why they lost their brakes, sped off the highway, crashed into the railing, rolled to the bottom of the hill, and were killed.

At that time, Grandpa Brooks became suspicious, but he did not connect it to the incident 60 years earlier.

That was because in his opinion, it had been so many years since that incident, and no one knew about it except for the heavens and himself.

The child, who was only a month old, let alone whether he survived or not, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to remember that Grandpa Brooks was the one who killed his parents.

Therefore, he never connected the car accident with that incident.
