Chapter 539: A Traitor Meets a Traitor's Fate

Tina was momentarily stunned.

Did Brandon mean for her to carry through with this contract?

"Exactly as you think," Brandon pushed the contract towards Tina, "The Brookes family is no longer focusing on

bionic biology. They have their own matters to handle, and | know that the lasting success of the Hancock family

over the years is also because of this."

At this point, Brandon paused, his gaze deepening. After a moment, he continued, "The person who let the

Hancock family take over was your mother, Natalie, right?"

Tina nodded slightly but didn't say much.

The waters of the Brookes family were still murky, and she didn't want to stir up trouble.

"Tina, only the Brookes and Lyon families know about this bionic biology technology. Your mother managed to

realize this concept, and it's nearly identical to what the Brookes family had envisioned. I... | think she must have

seen the concept outline proposed by the Brookes family. I'm not saying she plagiarized or stole it, I'm just

saying..."

"Uncle Brandon, | understand what you mean," Tina said, smiling at Brandon.

She knew that Brandon had begun to suspect her identity.

Her mother's ability to propose this concept, matching the Brookes family's, could only prove she had been with

the Brookes.

If that was true, then could it prove she was Alina?

Brandon dared not say it out loud, fearing it might be another false hope.

Tina tucked the contract away, "Thank you, Uncle, | will continue to research this technology."

Brandon nodded, "Yes, | believe in you."

| also believe that you must be my niece, my sister's daughter.

But before we can settle this, a paternity test is necessary!

At the Hancock family...

Sonia's arrest was sudden, disrupting many of Max's plans.

Currently the only survivor of the Lyon family, Max had hoped to consolidate control over the Lyon family's old

shareholders with Sonia, which would save a lot of trouble.

And she could also retrieve the Lyon family head's ring from Tina; the contract was also in her possession...

Now under control, her murderous actions were even circulating online, causing too much public impact for

anyone to save her.

Max, pale with anger, thought he had an ace, but it turned out to be a dud.

"Dad, you're makingdizzy walking back and forth. What exactly happened? Did Sonia really kill Grandma

Lyon?" Grace had seen Max pacing early in the morning and was clueless about the situation. Right now, all she

could think about was her impending marriage to Jared.

Max sat down, "Grace, has Stephanie called you recently?"

"No. With such a big scandal in their family, they aren't in the mood to contact me, and | don't care to deal with

her. Jared has already cut ties with them, and she's of no use tonow," Grace said dismissively, sneering at

her once close friend. Useless people, why bother?

She was using Stephanie, and Stephanie was using her; it was a mutual arrangement.

Max frowned, "Grace, call Stephanie. Tell her to find a way to get close to Tina and retrieve the ring and the

contract left by Grandma Lyon. Tell her you can help her turn things around."

Grace was puzzled, "Dad, you still want to get involved with them? A family of suspects?"

"Just do it. These two items are crucial for our family. If successful, we won't be at Tina's mercy. Hurry, before

Tina discovers this."

Grace wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Max's terrified expression, she swallowed her words. She had

never seen Max look so scared before. Following Max's instructions, Grace called Stephanie, who readily agreed

to help for the sake of the Lyon family's wealth. Unbeknownst to them, Tina had heard their entire conversation

clearly. Tina took off her headphones, looked at the documents she had translated on the table, and chuckled.

"Max has been able to live peacefully all these years thanks to the GTO," Tina shook her head, thinking him

foolish. Even now, he wasn't thinking of his own safety but was still concerned about the contract.

Jared was staring at the computer screen, where three small red dots were progressively moving on the satellite

image, tightening into a circle around a factory in the center. "If he were wise, he would know that being loyal to

my master is the wisest choice," Jared said evenly. Tina curved her lips, "A traitor always meets a traitor's end."

Ten minutes later, Jared received a call from Stephanie. "Jared, it's Stephanie." She started crying as she spoke,

still unable to grasp what had happened. How had the Lyon family cto such a state? Jared turned on the

speakerphone. "What is it?"

"I don't know what to do, with all that's happened at home. Can | cto see you? | want to apologize to Tina,

lec”

"Go to the Hancock family, tell Grace | will bring what she wants," Jared said, then hung up. He no longer had the

patience to continue playing games with these fools.

Tina looked up at Jared, surprised, "What happened?" He suddenly stopped playing. Jared showed her the public

screen, displaying an urgent notice marked in red-Christopher, the Deputy Director of Ashbury headquarters, had

been suspended for negligence and unauthorized task delegation, among other breaches of department rules.

Tina frowned. They had finally noticed Jared's real purpose in Clearwater. Initially, Jared had cto Clearwater

under the guise of visiting the Lyon family, but privately, he was investigating a virus research base.

This mission was a top-secret document placed on Christopher's desk by a mysterious person, not dispatched

through the headquarters. Thus, Clearwater's headquarters was unaware of Jared's activities, including his

investigation of the docks. Now, their focus had shifted onto him. "The boss got suspended, probably took all the

blto protect me," Jared took a deep breath and continued, "We should be heading back soon. Once back, I'll

officially take the deputy's position." Tina nodded.

The position of Ashbury's headquarters' director had always been vacant, with the director constantly on

missions. Not even newcomers, nor Jared himself, had ever seen this mysterious director. Thus, the deputy

directorship at Ashbury headquarters was a position of equal power. With Christopher's suspension, Jared would

officially take over at Ashbury headquarters. The more power he was granted, the closer he got to the center of

power-and to the traitor's position.
