Chapter 508 er 508 Marve rose, and her face flushed with anger.
âHow could you not know? Youâre the head of the Hackett family, with access to so much information. The fact that you know about these events proves youâve been investigating all these years. You must know whoâs behind it!â
Levi was suddenly seized by a violent coughing Seeing this, Maeve realized she had been too harsh She immediately stepped forward to help him catch his breath.
âIâI just want to know who killed my parents,â she stamnigred.
âMarve, stop asking, Levi said, his face pullid and lined with exhaustion. âIt wouldnât change anything even if you knew. Isnât it better to find peace and move on with your ble?â
âIâm the heiress of the Scott family, and it was my parents who were killed. I have the right to know everything!â she blurted.
Sering Marieâs resolve, Levi gripped the tableâs edge, straining to support himself as he leaned heavily against his wheelchair.
âI can share about the four major families, but I truly donât know who killed your parents, just like Iâm still clueless about who was responsible for the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer after the long search,â he uttered.
Leviâs expression appeared earnest and truthful.
After a moment of silence, Maeve inquired, âDo you know the full story about those four families from back then?â
âI have a general understanding of it,â Led replied.
âThe Spencers, with their military power, held absolute authority. The Hacketts, on the other hand, possessed the strongest network. The Scott family, under Mr.Otis Scottâs leadership, served as renowned strategists.
âMeanwhile, the Fosters, who began as deputies to the Spencers, were known for their wealth and close bonds to the Spencers, making their place among the four major families..
Maeve listened quietly. She had heard Philip mention the Scott familyâs former glory under Otis leadership. It was his astute planning that had allowed the Scotts to settle down and establish such a formidable business in Seathburn City Levi continued, âThe Spencers, Hacketts, Scotts, and Fosters worked as one, dominating Seath burn City together.
âThere were rumors that their rapid rise to power was fuelled by a treasure from the late 17th century, which gave them immense wealth. With such financial might, it was effortless for them to dominate the city.â
âA treasure from the late 17th century? Thatâs unbelievable âMarve commented, incredulous, but Leviâs steady gaze kept her from dismissing it outright âPlease, continue. I wonât interrupt.â
âThough it sounds impossible, such rumors often have a basis in truth. Seathburn City does harbor a secret that has drawn the attraction of many covetous eyes. The Normans abroad and the Jeffersons in Lentimas City are two examples.â
Leviâs words left Maeve deep in thought.
This shed light on a mystery that had long troubled her: why Conner, despite his comfortable life in Lentimas City, would spend over a decade trying to ingratiate himself with the Ramoz family just to gain a foothold in Seathburn City.
With his considerable wealth, he wouldnât have needed to go to such lengths.
She queried. âConner is after the rumored treasure of Seathburn City, but why did he align himself with the Ramoz family? Are they one of the original major families?â
âThey donât measure up,â Levi sald flatly.
Marwe agreed. If the Bamoz family were truly one of the four major families, they wouldnât be submissive to Sergio.
âThe Hanoz family is indeed old and has a legacy that stretches back to the same era as the four major families. Their ancestors were skilled and resibent, which allowed them to survive and build a substantial family business.
âHowever, they were never one of the original tour. Instead, they were more like trusted aides who eventually branched out from the Fosters,â Levi explained
