Puzzled, Jesse Kenwood asked Harry, “Do you have any grudges against Armand?”

Harry shrugged and answered, “No.”

“Then why do you want to provoke him?” Upon recalling the things that Harry had asked him to do in recent times, Jesse could not understand anything.

After that, Jesse advised Harry in a grave tone, “You better not offend someone like Armand. You don't stay in Jadeborough, so you have no idea how smart and scary Armand can be. No matter how meticulous we are, he'll be able to expose us if there's any trace of evidence.”

If Harry was not the one asking him to do all those things, Jesse would never dare to offend Armand.

Harry took a puff of his cigarette. The smoke blocked out his bright eyes. “Does he know a lot of politicians?”

“Yes, he does.” Jesse was from Jadeborough and used to work in the government intelligence agency. It would be easy for him to find out any information.

Jesse continued, “When Armand was younger, he set up Central Group in Jadeborough. Through that company, he met quite a number of people from both the military and political fields, but he hardly ever keeps in touch with them. I also heard that the last mayor of Jadeborough is a distant relative of Armand's grandma. When that mayor was incumbent, Armand has helped him several times.”

Harry chuckled and said, “I see. He's just a businessman. I don't think he's eligible to be with someone like Sally.”

“Didn't you mention that Armand has faked his death in order to shed his identity as a businessman so that he can go into politics?” Jesse took a guess and continued, “Otherwise, why will he reappear after his fake death as Robert's godson and even became the Deputy Minister of the Department of Public Information?”

Harry looked down, deep in thought.

After a long while, he took a sip of his brandy and stated, “I heard that Robert's son grew up with Sally, and they are planning to get married.”

To that, Jesse responded, “That's right. His son is Ethan Zane, but his country is more important than his love life. He has joined the border defense a long time ago. According to my investigation, Ethan hasn't gone home for six years. He only calls home once a year during the new year. Although Ethan and Sally are childhood sweethearts, it's impossible for them to continue their relationship since he hasn't returned home. Ever since Robert finds out that Sally is interested in Armand, he takes Armand in as his godson so as to maintain his relationship with the Loake family.”

Growing tired of standing, Jesse sat down on the stool. “Armand may not have any experience in the political field, but he's an intelligent and diplomatic man. Once he's qualified enough to be a politician, Robert can retire in peace.”

“Didn't you mention that Armand has faked his death in order to shed his identity as a businessman so that he can go into politics?” Jesse took a guess and continued, “Otherwise, why will he reappear after his fake death as Robert's godson and even became the Deputy Minister of the Department of Public Information?”

Harry snorted and gave Jesse a side glance. “Jesse, did you find this information, or are you just making a guess?”

“I derive from the information that I have collected. I also feel that Armand is aware of the relationship between the two families. In order for him to have a smooth transition into the political domain, he got to know Sally before that. After his fake death, he started seeing Sally. With the help of his father-in-law and godfather, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a politician.”
