Chapter 70 Riding Coattails

Whenever Alistair wanted, he could access the "Time Snapshot" content as videos on his phone.

Unfortunately, while the snapshots confirmed his suspicions that Liam, Rebecca, and Celeste were all guilty, they couldn't be used

It was sadly ironic. While other families shared loving parent-child relationships, his had devolved into open warfare.

What Alistair had forgotten, though, was that he wasn't just someone with the system. He'd also unknowingly secured powerful backing.

Caroline was already investigating Liam's financial transactions from six years ago to prove Alistair had been set up. She was also "accidentally" digging up leverage that could keep Liam firmly under control.

This saved Alistair 200 system credits.
