Holding the key in his hand, James scrutinized it.
“What does the treasure chest unearthed from the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid at the border of the Southern Plains have to do with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge?”
James muttered silently.
He believed it was not a coincidence that Scarlett had bumped into him while having the key on her.
He had been trailing a murderous intent he sensed when he encountered Scarlett.
However, the murderous intent disappeared when he reached the underground parking lot. It was there where he met Scarlett.
He was sure she was not the one with the murderous intent.
James believed someone else had arranged for it.
He had been watching on the sidelines since the beginning of the grave robbery.
He exterminated everyone and instructed Scarlett to bring the key to Cansington and to allow the box to be carried away all over the place.
Whew!
James took a deep breath.
The first step to getting to the bottom of this was to locate the box. By opening the box and finding out what was in it, he would understand its relationship with the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.”
After contemplating for a while, James spoke, “Mr. Quinn.”
“Yes, James?” Newton nodded.
James continued, “You’ve been by my grandfather’s side for decades. Even after the incident, you returned to bury the Cadens even though you risked getting caught. Since I didn’t reward you with anything, I’ll offer you the businesses that used to belong to the Cadens.”
“I can’t accept your gift, James.”
Newton stood up immediately and hurriedly waved. “James, this is too big of a gift. I cannot accept it.”
James lightly waved and interrupted Newton, “To me, money isn’t everything. But it’s different for you. You have a family to feed, after all.”
“I…”
“Alright now, you can bring your family to Cansington. After that, you can officially take over the former businesses of the Cadens from the Great Four. The Cadens were once the most influential family in Cansington and had a combined wealth of fifty billion dollars. These should be enough for the rest of your life.”
“T-Thank you, James.”
