Chapter 678 What Was the Truth Behind the Kidnapping Back Then?

"The Hamilton family used to be a prestigious family in Frostgate, far surpassing the status of any business tycoon. In Frostgate, having money doesn't necessarily mean having power, but those with power can make the wealthy go bankrupt in an instant," Ben said, somewhat puzzled, as he handed the information about the Hamilton family to Jasmine in Douglas Group.

"Celeste, who is Ethan's mother, is the sole heir of this generation of the Hamilton family and Wesley's cherished daughter. Wesley and William had some interactions, and it was only because of William that Wesley agreed to let Celeste marry Howard. At that time, Wesley was at the peak of his power, and the Hamilton family had the capability to help the Douglas Group soar to new heights."

It was clear that the reason Celeste held more shares than Howard was because half of the Douglas Group belonged to the Hamilton family.

Wesley poured all his connections, resources, and efforts into helping the Douglas Group break through the encirclement of business associations like the Hawthorne family and achieve great success.

"The Hamilton family." Jasmine mused. "I've lived with the Wilson family for twenty- one years and have seen many wealthy heiresses and socialites. But I have no impression of the Hamilton family at all."

This indicated that the Hamilton family had already begun to decline by the time Jasmine could remember.

"From the time Celeste married Howard and gave birth to Ethan, the Hamilton family started to decline. First, Wesley died suddenly of a stroke, and then the Hamilton family split up, with several branches moving abroad. Only Juniper stayed with Celeste in San Fransisco. The once-renowned Hamilton family of Frostgate gradually faded away," Ben said, looking at Jasmine.

It was evident that the decline of the Hamilton family was not a coincidence.

The Hamilton family, Ethan's kidnapping, the rise of the Douglas family-someone was orchestrating events behind the scenes.

Each event seemed unrelated, but upon closer inspection, they were all connected. Juniper Hamilton sat on the Whites family couch with a serious expression. "Tom said something happened to Ethan. Do you know anything about this?"

Desmond, flipping through the newspaper, replied, "Your son's words are not reliable." Juniper threw a cushion at her husband's head. "Your son, your son! Your son's words are not reliable."

Desmond sighed, used to this routine, and quickly tried to appease her. "Fine, my son's words are not reliable. Is that okay?"

Juniper snorted, her face filled with worry. "Ethan is a poor child. Celeste died young, Wesley died suddenly, and his kidnapping when he was little is still an unsolved case. Over the years, living with Howard, he must have suffered a lot."
