The man Gerald had asked Carissa to look into was named Clifford Murphy.

One of the Murphy family’s ancestors had once fought alongside the founding king, earning the hereditary title of the Marquis of Doveshire. But for reasons unknown, Clifford fell out of favor with Sigmund, and his noble rank was reduced to the Earl of Paxford. After that, he moved out of the capital to live in seclusion near Ebonflow. By now, few in the capital likely remembered him,

“He never married, and the Murphy family business belongs to him,” said Claire.

Carissa’s eyes widened in surprise. “He’s the one behind the Murphy family business?”

The Murphy family business in Ebonflow was known to be immensely lucrative. While it didn’t rival the Spencer family, it involved many industries, with extensive connections.

There were many people in Starhaven with the surname Murphy, but since Clifford had long since secluded himself, refusing to see visitors, no one suspected that he was the true owner of the Murphy family business.

A well–established name, the Murphy family business had been around for over a century. Before Clifford left the capital, no one had known his family was involved in business at all.

Claire quickly explained, “The Murphy family business wasn’t always his. When Mr. Murphy arrived in Ebonflow, the business was struggling. It had severe financial troubles and was on the verge of collapsing. At that point, Mr. Murphy bought the business.”
