Chapter 790
“The Halls was one of the worst hits. Doctor Sally’s father jumped off a building when he couldn’t handle the stress.
However, he didn’t die from it. Instead, his wife and his children had to suffer for it. Peter, who was less than sixteen
years old back then, had to bear the responsibility of keeping the family together. He would study and work part-
time a lot, and some of them were even…”
Silas couldn’t tell him due to the unsavory nature.
Conrad frowned and said nothing.
Silas then said, “Right, sir. Peter’s record back in university is a little weird.”
“How weird?”
“Other than attending the classes for his core subjects, he was almost non-existent on campus. And I couldn’t find
out what kind of part-time job he worked,” Silas said, still confused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeter was not even sixteen then and already had to bear his familial duties. Not only did he have to pay for his
parents’ living costs, he also had to finance Sally and his own tuition and living expenses.
During the period of time when he was in high school, he would work part time in bars at night. During school
breaks, he would mostly spend his time at work. Out of twenty-four hours, he spent eighteen of those at his
workplace.
Silas then said, “Don’t you think that it’s strange? Why did he stop working when he was in university? Where did he
get his money from?”
Conrad said, “He did not do his usual work during his university years.”
Silas quickly asked, “What kind of work then? Why can’t we find out anything about it?” Conrad remembered how
he was investigating Peter through the Hellish Training Camp, but he was stopped by the camp.
He was already suspecting that one of the three leaders of the camp knew about Peter.
However, he was one of the leaders, so he himself could be ruled out. As for the other two, he had no idea yet.
The leaders of the camp were also the top three members of the camp. They each had their own organization and
they did not interfere with each other’s business. They did not meet each other as well.
“Silas… Do you think Peter’s from the Hellish Training Camp as well?” Conrad asked Silas, sharing his suspicion.
Silas was stunned. “What? On what grounds, though? He looks quite weak.”
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be martial arts. It could be something else too,” Conrad said slowly.
“What, then?” Silas asked in confusion. He really couldn’t think of anything.
“Research,” Conrad said.
Silas suddenly realized something and said, “When the madam was accused of pushing Britney down the river, she
said she smelled something strange. Could it be some kind of drug?”
“That’s definitely it,” Conrad said before pausing for a bit. “When you reached the scene where Sally had
something happen to her, did you smell something different?”
“I did!” Silas nodded with his eyes open wide. “I smelled a strange scent too! But Peter was Doctor Sally’s older
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrother and he loved her, so he wouldn’t have hurt her… I knew it! Britney Thomas!”
Conrad patted Silas’s shoulder. “Send our men to keep an eye on them.”
“Sure!”
When Peter reached the Thomases’ household home, they treated him with respect. They believed that his work
would benefit the country, and it was quite an honorable career.
“So, how’s your salary right now?” Mrs. Thomas asked with a smile.
Peter said with a gentle expression, “Don’t worry about it. I won’t make Britney suffer with me. Other than my own
salary, I also work with others by conducting my own research on some other medicine. My income yielded from all
the profit sharing is quite good as well!”
Peter smiled. However, when he remembered the real Britney Thomas, he felt somewhat upset.
“Is Britney not home, yet?”
“She went out about an hour ago, saying that she wanted to buy some things. She should be back soon. Come, sit a
while. I’ll ask the servants to cook more. Do stay and have dinner with us!”
“Alright, sure,” Peter said. It hadn’t been more than a few minutes when Mr. Thomas came home.
