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.

While Brooke hadn’t spoken yet, his son, Jackson, who stood by, stepped forward and pointed at Gavin.

He said, “You want to know about the clues to the destruction of the Clifford family? But what are you doing in the Taylor family? Do you think that we knew about that?

“Furthermore, you even harmed the descendants and servants of the Taylor family. Back then, the Taylor family should have been involved in this matter and eradicated the bloodline of the Clifford family.”

A crisp sound rang out.

Before he could finish his sentence, a loud slap resounded as it struck Jackson across the face.

The one who delivered the slap was none other than Brooke, the

patriarch of the Taylor family.

“Dad? Why did you hit me?” Jackson looked at his father with a sense of grievance.

“Idiot!” Brooke scolded him in anger.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” said Brooke, coughing in between.

It seemed that Jackson’s attitude had infuriated Brooke, and he began to cough violently as the anger took a toll on his health.

While he was coughing, he continued his reprimand.

He said, “We, the Taylor family, have maintained a close relationship with the Clifford family for years.

“The incident of the Clifford family’s extermination – how could the Taylor family have been involved in destroying the Clifford family?” Brooke spoke, emphasizing the unlikelihood of their connection to the

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!”
