“Did you know that in the last letter, she wrote that she had given birth to a baby boy? When Ireceived it, everyone in the country was abuzz about the news of that scoundrel’s extravagantwedding to the high-ranking official's daughter. However, there was no mention of it in my sister'sletter! She was a fool. A fool that kept protecting that jerk until her last dying breath!” Janice burstout tearfully. Even to that day, the mere mention of that incident made her tremble with anger andsadness.

It hurt so much that she could barely breathe.

What he did was unforgivable and inhumane. He deserves nothing less than to be hacked into amillion tiny pieces!

No one knew the state Felicity was in when she had her child, but it was not too difficult to imaginethat she must have felt hopeless. That was because her son was sent away soon after that.

The baby was supposed to be her only source of hope in living on. In the end, he became theJadesons’ youngest son in The Ataraxy.

Thereafter, there was no news of Felicity ever again.

No one knew what happened to her.

When Janice went looking for her in Jadeborough and met the man who had almost become herbrother-in-law, he merely replied, “She's gone.”

She's gone? That's it? She went looking for him while she was pregnant, and he thinks he can brushme off just like that?

Not believing a word he said, Janice confronted him with the letters Felicity had written. She warnedhim that if he did not hand over her sister and nephew, she would expose his despicable actions tothe world!

Alfred's career had just taken off, and he had just married a woman with family connections thatcould further his career.

Hence, he was infuriated.

Alfred had Janice restrained, then sent someone to Xenhall to poison her father, causing him tobecome paralyzed. It was sad to see the brave and daring man that even Jonathan had admiredgreatly end up like that. After that, Alfred threatened to kill Janice and her parents if she everrevealed anything.

It was a bitter pill to swallow, but Janice had no other choice than to let it go.

Empty-handed with a heart full of hatred and resentment, she left Jadeborough and returned toXenhall.

The terrible blow was too much for her parents, and they passed away not too long after that.Janice was devastated. After her parents’ funeral, the hatred within her could no longer besuppressed. Six years later, she finally went to Jadeborough again.

By then, Alfred was already in the White House.

That time, Janice knew better. Instead of going straight to Alfred, she made her investigationsdiscreetly and set her sights on winning over the only family who could take on the White House,the Jadesons.

Hence, she thought of ways to get closer to Kingston's father, who was from Gossamer Creek.

He was not anyone important in the Jadeson family. After all, the Jadesons in Gossamer Creek weremerely part of the extended family. Moreover, he was only in his twenties, so he did not have muchpower or authority in the family, to begin with.

Nonetheless, Janice still chose him for only one reason. It was because she had learned of amysterious organization in Jadeborough called The Coffee Shop. They were recruiting skilledfighters, and she wanted to join

Kingston's father was the best choice because he was not particularly close to the Jadesons.

Soon after, both of her wishes came true.

Two years later, she gave birth to Kingston and had also proven herself to be an invaluable asset toThe Coffee Shop. Thus, she was able to obtain more information.

As part of her job, she also had to work for Alfred.

"So, that was when you found out your sister's son was at The Ataraxy?” Devin asked.

"Yeah. The Coffee Shop was indeed working for Alfred. However, he didn’t know that they had all ofhis information. Eventually, I gained a reputation for being reliable and tight-lipped, and the task ofkeeping an eye on Alfred was entrusted to me. That was how I found out he'd sneak off to meetColton once every three months,” Janice said with a satirical expression on her face.

How ironic indeed. He thought he had reached the pinnacle of his career and was untouchable.Never in his wildest dreams could he imagine that the very people who worked for him would endup taking his life.

Devin did not press further.

She did not need to say anything for him to guess what happened after that.

The Coffee Shop is the most central intelligence organization for those guys. Since she was a corefigure in the organization, she would've found out sooner or later that Colton is not her sister's son.Eventually, she would've also learned about Isaac. As for her sister...

Devin narrowed his eyes as he thought about Baylor, who joined The Coffee Shop too and woundup suffering a terrible death because of that matter. At the same time, he was reminded of Alfred,who was forsaken and used as a scapegoat.

It all became clear to him. That must have something to do with Janice.

Suddenly, the piercing sound of sirens filled the villa.

When Devin heard the noise, he looked up at once. “What's that?"

Before he could get a clear look, Janice scowled. “D*mn it! They're here! This man manages theplace! He must've triggered the security system!”
