Caleb immediately brought Braden to Ryland's study. In addition to repeating what he said previously, Braden also explained the love-hate relationship involved in detail which included why Charlotte used to have a position in the Jane Corporation and how he met Anne and so on.

This was simply like hitting the jackpot for the Stevens family. They were just in need of these data from Brine. For instance, they could only find little information on business information which could be found by any other people, not to mention people from rich families.

However, there were only a few people who knew the details. Those that were involved would definitely not tell them. Only people like Braden who was in the centre of it could tell them a thing or two.

"So the situation is like this, you've always thought that Shane would choose Avery after Avery and Rick fought. The truth is, in nicer terms, Avery is a sissy but in layman's terms, he's just a good-for-nothing," Braden snorted coldly. "People always say that he acts like a meek sheep to prey on actual predators, but I think he has been pretending to be a prey for too long. He even treats a potential threat like an ally when he sees one."

"Do you mean that Avery is as useless as Rick?" Caleb rolled his eyes in confusion.

"Hey, that's what you said, not me. If Avery was really incompetent, how could he make the whole Hart family submit to him? But on the contrary, if Avery was really powerful, why did he end up in Brine? Why didn't he send a few people to build the foundation first like you two, then move over? Why did he have to put himself in the front line?" Braden's question was very good.

Firstly, he had put the Stevens family on a pedestal. Naturally, the Stevens family would love it if he flattered them this way. Secondly, he didn't invalidate Avery or Rick. If he did, it would make him look too arrogant.

"Dad, I think what Braden is saying that he predicts Shane would choose Rick and not Avery, because Avery is not easy to control but Rick is. We could actually agree with Shane on this point." There was a glimmer in Caleb's eyes. "This time we could..."

"Shut up."

Caleb was stunned for a moment before falling into a deep silence.

Braden looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "I know what's going on with them and I know that they are investigating you. I also know a little about Avery's hatred towards you. Don't worry, I just like to make friends. If you want to talk with Shane, I'm happy to help you."

"Do you mean that you know Avery's hatred for us?" Ryland's eyes suddenly lit up. It's obvious he touched a nerve.

"Isn't it just his woman and his sister? In the end it's just these two matters right?" Braden asked nonchalantly. "It's just you and Avery that put this matter onto us. Who cares about your personal relationships? We are all on the same boat. Mr. Stevens, let me ask you a question, do you think I'm clean?"

Ryland laughed and applauded loudly. "Good point. Braden, do you really think you're not clean?"
