The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1220

"Tell me about it."

Michael was also too eager to know the truth.

Then, the man said quickly, "Zhang is not Beneon Zhang's last name, and his last name is Ramirez. He was the owner of a small furniture factory in Ocean City, and he was Carter's classmate. Later, his business failed for some reason. He used to drink with Carter, but then he disappeared after that."

Michael frowned slightly after listening to the whole thing.

"Anything suspicious other than this?"

"No, but strangely enough, before leaving Ocean City, he sent his wife and daughter away. Soon, he changed his name."

Michael's frown deepened when he heard this.

If his business had failed, why did he have to change his name? This meant that he had left Ocean City just because he wanted to hide, and he didn't want anyone to find out his true identity. However, this explanation didn't make sense either since his record for the past 20 years showed that he was just a manager in a casino. Not only that, the weirdest thing was that he did not even want his own child!

"Is there any other information we haven't found yet?" Michael asked again.

"Yes, we found out that Charlotte Ramirez is his biological daughter."

Michael narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"What? Who are you talking about?"

"Charlotte Ramirez."

Michael immediately thought about something once he heard his subordinate mentioning this name.

More than 20 years ago, Beneon met Carter. Furthermore, Carter was already poisoned before Beneon left Ocean City. 20 years later, Beneon's daughter, Charlotte met Walter, and the latter was poisoned too.

Was that a coincidence?

Moreover, they were father and daughter. So, how could this be just a coincidence?

Michael thought that this was impossible!

"Continue to investigate this. Make sure you find out when did Charlotte and Beneon start contacting each other."

"Yes, sir."

His subordinates then left quickly.

Meanwhile, Michael felt a headache coming when he thought about the work that he had left.

He rubbed his temples and then shook his head.

"Michael, something happened in your house."

Another one of his subordinates came in to report this.

After hearing this, Michael's eyes turned cold instantly.

Wait, something had happened in his house?

Did Valentina do something?

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was tense as no one dared to say anything.

"Where is she?" Michael asked.

"Our men managed to stop her, but she still hurt some of our men."

The subordinate did not dare to say anything further, but obviously, he sounded upset.

This woman who was pretending to be Valentina Brass made a fuss every day. Even though she knew she couldn't escape, she still never gave up. Thus, the men who were watching over her were already sick of her.

Everyone thought that Michael should've killed this woman right away. After all, her real identity was not Valentina Brass, nor was she the woman that Michael would never forget. However, Michael couldn't kill her because she looked too similar to the real Valentina.

Well, that woman did not go through cosmetic surgery. She just really looked like Valentina.

After hearing that, Michael turned around and head straight out.

"I'll leave everything here to you first."

Urgh! This woman!

Was she still refusing to give up?

At this thought, a cruel smile appeared on Michael's face, so anyone who saw this became scared right now.

Hence, no one dared to make a sound. Later, the tension in the air disappeared only when Michael left.

"Do you think boss will..."

One of the men started asking.

However, another subordinate shook his head and said, "How dare you talk about our boss like that? Are you trying to dig your own grave?"

The man's face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately stopped talking. He quickly looked around and made sure that no one else had heard his words before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Michael didn't hear what his men were saying. He returned to his villa in a huff and before entering the house, he could smell the metallic smell of the blood.

"Boss, you're back!"

Titus Lewis, the captain of the guards, came to greet him with a pale expression.

"How many of our men are injured?"

Michael's eyes were terribly cold as he asked this.

Then, Titus replied sadly, "Five, and these are the men that we chose personally last time. One of them bled a lot and was sent to the hospital, but I still don't know how he's doing right now."

Michael's expression turned scarier after hearing that.

"Where is she now?"

He gritted his mouth as he said the word 'she', and he couldn't wait to kill her now.

On the other hand, Titus was a little angry, but he held it back in front of Michael.

After all, Valentina had been restless, and she had even hurt many of Michael's men. Michael had placed her under house arrest, so Titus could understand why she wanted to run away. However, before everyone found out who she was and how to deal with her, she had injured everyone in the house.

Today, a lot of his men had been heavily injured. Hence, no one knew if that woman would kill someone next.

Therefore, the was like a ticking time bomb that could kill Michael and the whole place at any time.

At the thought of this, Titus felt very uneasy.

"Boss, I think this woman is too dangerous, so why don't we just kill her?"

As soon as he finished his words, Michael cast him a cold stare.

Hence, Titus felt as he couldn't move his whole body. In fact, the cold and murderous look that Michael was giving him made him realize that he had crossed the line.
