The red light had turned green. | started the car.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be Jordan's instructions. He didn't get what he wanted in Limbia but instead caused
a lot of damage and gave the Fredericks huge problems. He's a vindictive person. Instructing Anthony to make a
scene is probably his way of declaring war with me."
| frowned. "He's a huge problem, indeed."
Theo sneered. "The Fredericks themselves are a huge problem. They won't hesitate to do anything in order to
reach their goal. Anyone who messes with them will end up in trouble."
After hearing what he said, | grew curious about the Fredericks.
"Do you know the Fredericks very well?"
Theo looked atand tolda story.
About 20 years ago, the Fredericks family's business was just a small textile company. It was far from the many
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtindustries it was running right now and the eye-popping annual earnings. Later, the company grew by leaps and
bounds thanks to a woman who married into the family.
Back then, the Zimmersons, one of the four rich families’, industrial chains were well-established and they ran a
large number of industries. However, the Zimmersons had very few children. A part of the industry was handed
over to an adopted daughter called Sandra Tyler. Although she was an adopted daughter, the Zimmersons
treated her like their own, so when she married beneath her to the Fredericks, the industries she managed

| was stunned and asked with uncertainty," Is the Sandra Tyler you're talking about my adopted mother?"
Theo nodded his head.
"Why is her last nTyler when she's the Zimmersons' adopted daughter?"
"At the time, Madam Tyler was childless for many years before she adopted your adopted mother. She was
originally surnamed Zimmerson, but when Madam Tyler later got pregnant, your adopted mother's surnwas
changed to her surname. I'm not sure why she changed her surname.”
| frowned. "Continue."
Theo touched the top of my head and gently said, "When your adopted mother married into the Fredericks, the
real estate industry was vigorously developed. Many people had only started joining the real estate industry at
the time. Your mother owned a lot of properties, so the Fredericks took the opportunity to develop very well in
the real estate industry. With that, the Fredericks grew to beca large enterprise. Many families started
getting associated with the Fredericks. However, one who stands too high is subject to many attacks. The
Fredericks family's’ foundation wasn't solid enough, so the consequences of such attention were that many
enterprises wanted to share a piece of the pie too.
"The Fredericks knew that in order to secure their wealth, they had to control your adopted mother until the last
bit of her worth was squeezed out of her. Your adopted mother saw how the Fredericks were just a bunch of
vicious wolves that did everything for money, so she refused to hand over the rest of her properties. The
Fredericks wouldn't give up, but fortunately, they were daunted by the Zimmersons' authority and dared not
force her. Your adopted mother knew she must not continue staying with the Fredericks and eventually left

| was startled and quickly asked, "Don't tellthe sandalwood box that my adopted mother gavecontains
the land titles?"
He nodded. "Or should | say that it contains the key to the land titles? When Jordan tried everything to approach
you, he was just doing it for the box."
| first met Jordan at Mother's graveyard. He stood in front of the tombstone for a very long tat the time, so |
thought he knew Mother. That was why he stopped in front of her grave for so long. I did not think too much
about it.
Casting my mind back to the look in his eyes at the time, | could not help but feel a profound fear.
| asked worriedly, "I've given Jordan the box."
| never really cared about the sandalwood box, so | agreed without even thinking about it when Jordan proposed
to trade for the box when we were abroad.
