Chapter 25

When Gavin mentioned the “clues about the destruction of the Clifford family,” a strange glint flashed in Brooke’s eyes.

His gaze suddenly changed and emitted a bizarre glow.

Although it was a brief moment and only a flash, Gavin still caught it and captured that moment.

He was certain Brooke knew something about the events and what had happened then.

The whole space was filled with the sound of Brooke coughing.

Brooke’s coughing became more pronounced and urgent.

The people from the Taylor family were instantly alarmed, rushing to his side.

He said anxiously, “Dad, how are you? How do you feel now? Are you alright? Please don’t get upset!”

“Please don’t get upset. There’s no need to get upset!”
