Chapter 359 Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Since he had this thought, Ambrose blurted out, "Dad, I haven't heard anything concrete yet, but it looks like Alaric's been getting real chummy with Neil lately. I'm worried he might wanna dig up the Storm Family case from seven years ago." "Alaric's as stubborn as a mule; he won't quit till he's totally crushed. And Neil? That guy's just as bad, never listens to anyone. If those two start gunning for us, shaking them off won't be a walk in the park." "Reopen the Storm Family case from seven years ago? Alaric must have a death wish!"

As he said this, Ambrose caught a deadly glint in Stuart's eyes, mixed with a scary darkness.

It was clear as day: if Alaric dared to investigate, he wouldn't come out in one piece.

"Dad, can I ask something?" Ambrose asked, treading carefully, "What's the beef between our Vale Family and the Storm Family? Why did you go all out seven years ago?" Ambrose genuinely had no clue. Back then, he was just a pawn, desperate for Stuart's approval, eager to get into the Vale Family, and more importantly, into the Vale Group.

Back then, Stuart gave him a shot to prove himself, to really test his chops, he sent him overseas to apply for a job at the Storm Group.

After landing the gig at the Storm Group, he was like a puppet, doing whatever Stuart ordered.

The only curveball in the whole deal was that he initially planned to use Stellan to win Brennan's trust, but ended up actually falling for Stellan.

The plan was cruising along; the Storm Family went bankrupt, and Brennan was disgraced. He thought that was the end of it.

That night, he got a call from Stuart, telling him to bring Brennan, who had been bailed out. Ambrose headed to the Storm Group that night, and just as he was about to hit the rooftop, he found out Brennan was already dead. He had no clue what went down on that rooftop, so deep down, he always felt uneasy about Brennan's death. He never meant for Brennan to die.

To be honest, even though Brennan initially opposed him being with Stellan, he later treated him pretty well after seeing his work skills.
