Chapter 238 The Daughter Of Harvey However, Sterling's death was not the end. Ever since Kallum and Sterling's incident, peace was destined to elude the Fairchild Manor.
"Did you find out who it was?" Kallum, busy with work, lifted his head and cast a glance at his subordinate.
Derek respectfully said, "The Wolford family." That was both an unexpected yet anticipated answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Sterling's death, the Wolford family was greatly weakened. However, the reason a clan was firm and unshakeable lay in its deep-rooted and accumulated foundation. The Wolford family, at their level, couldn't be easily destroyed. Not even the president had such power.
However, in order to fill the void left by Sterling, Harvey racked his brains. He had no choice but to select an heir from his own children and nephews as a bargaining chip, asking his closest family members to help him cover the loss.
In the end, he chose the son of his incredibly wealthy younger brother. No one knew that Harvey had a daughter, so when Sterling passed away, his brother, Kyven Wolford was easily lured by the tantalizing promise Harvey made. Not only did Kyven offer his youngest son, but he also contributed a significant amount of money. This provided a much-needed relief to Harvey's rapidly dwindling funds, securing his position as the head of the Wolford family.
Then, as a vindictive man, he seized the opportunity to meddle with the Fairchild family. What Kallum needed to do was stop him from doing so.
"It's confirmed that those people with Quincy are Harvey's subordinates. Old Mr. Yancey, what do you think is the relationship between Harvey and Quincy?" Kallum asked with a playful tone, though he had his suspicions.
As Calista's "nemesis" who was always on her radar, Quincy had been under surveillance by a man dispatched by Kallum since the day she left the country. Stago, when Quincy was kidnapped and subsequently rescued, everything was kept under wraps. However, since Kallum had someone watching Quincy, he naturally didn't miss such a significant incident. Upon sinvestigation, he discovered that the kidnapper was Sterling, while the rescuer was Harvey. This was quite intriguing.
Shaun, given his age and experience, was naturally shrewd. "Harvey is renowned for his ruthlessness. After Sterling's death, he acted as if the man never existed, focusing solely on filling the company's void. Yet, he treated Quincy, someone of no value to him, kindly. Coupled with the fact that Sterling had someone kidnap Quincy before his death, it speaks volumes about the situation." Kallum chuckled. "Everyone said that Harvey was born with a physical defect and unlikely to have any descendants. Who would have thought that after all these years, there's actually one who slipped through the net?" This was something Shaun couldn't comprehend. "Logically, even though Quincy's a girl, Harvey, given his situation, can't complain either. He should cherish her like a treasure, so why didn't he acknowledge her as his daughter?" A glint of wisdom flashed through Kallum's purple eyes. He chuckled languidly, his tone tinged with mischief. "The only possibility is that this child cat an inconvenient time, or that she's a blemish on his life. But even so, he was afraid that Quincy would be the only child he'd ever have, so he kept her. Regardless, the story behind this must be quite intriguing, and it could also serve as a great counterattack!" Kallum curled his lips into a smirk. "What do you think would happen if we released this news after Harvey gets the money from his younger brother?" Shaun also laughed. "Harvey will definitely be entangled in a mess. His younger brother would realize he's been swindled and would demand money from him. However, getting Harvey to cough up the urgently needed money would be impossible. When that tcomes, it's certain to get ugly. Whether Harvey can continue being the head of the family is another matter altogether." Kallum chuckled mockingly. "Serves him right for trying to take advantage ofwhile I was ill when he himself is still on the verge of collapse. Of course, this is just our speculation. But I believe it will turn out to be true. All we need now is a piece of evidence." Derek, who hardly spoke, muttered quietly, "I'll go." Kallum nodded in approval. "As soon as possible." Derek immediately left.
Shaun watched as Derek walked away, nodding in approval. "Derek is quite impressive. No wonder Ms. Calista is fond of him. He's diligent and quiet. A promising individual indeed." Kallum, who was brimming with enthusiasm and confidence, suddenly frowned and wore a strange expression. "Callie is fond of him?" He pursed his lips before he could finish his sentence, as if to say Derek wasn't all that great, which was why he didn't praise the latter earlier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShaun burst into hearty laughter, his wrinkled face wearing a teasing expression. "Mr. Kallum, I must you've I say, youngmore like an ordinary young man since you fell ill.
Although I've watched you grow up, I've never felt as close to you as I do now."
Kallum snorted. Older people are so sentimental and chatty. Perhaps should consider sending him to the Fairchild family's nursing home. Shaun added, "I believe Ms. Calista would prefer the current you, too." Kallum's eyes lit up. Despite his old age, Old Mr. Yancey still has a keen eye for things. His retirement can wait.
Sterling's body was thoroughly incinerated after they collected m ugh blood samples em from him.
When Calista returned, she saw that Kallum was still at work.
"Your health isn't as good as it used to be, my dear brother. You should reduce your physical activities and workload," Calista said in slight exasperation.
