Chapter 1178
Perhaps Soaver International as well? After all, if Frederick was gone, Steve would get a portion of his wealth according to the law which included children and parents. That was both reasonable and justifiable. All Steve had to do was to sacrifice one person to benefit his family. If that happened, Lamar would be the next one to suffer.
So, in the end, an outsider family would openly take over half of the Clements family's business.
Trevor unconsciously shivered. He thought he had experienced a lot and had seen much of the world, but he still felt disgusted. His eyes unconsciously fell on Frederick.
"Frederick?"
That time, his tone was obviously different. If things indeed turned out to be that way, they would have to take it seriously.
Frederick had thought of that with his hand on his forehead. In the past, he had always felt that there was a huge conspiracy enveloping him. Things had always been complex, messing his thoughts up. Right then, with a slight clue, his train of thought straightened out.
Frederick tapped lightly with his finger, but he did not make a sound.
He exchanged glances with Trevor, and Chet turned to look at him.
"Frederick, I've already asked someone to fetch Megan's hair. If it's verified, it's almost done. I'm afraid that the other party will find out and destroy the evidence, so I don't dare act rashly. As I have to do it in private, things will progress at a slower speed! Judging from the current evidence and clues, however, this is the largest possibility!"
If he was soft-hearted, he would probably be the next target.
Right then, Chet didn't dare say the last sentence out loud. On one hand, Chet was more inclined towards Frederick because of their relationship. Since it involved Frederick's family, he couldn't force Frederick into making a decision. On the other hand, the matter was a big deal. Chet was afraid that he would fail, and the consequences would be too serious for him to bear.
Similarly, Trevor dared not say anything.
The tapping suddenly stopped, and Frederick spoke up, "Do I want to solve the problem roughly or take the drastic measures to deal with it?"
"Uh?"novelbin
Chet exclaimed before Frederick told him his whole plan.
In an instant, Chet's jaw was wide agape. It seemed that he had been worried for nothing. With Frederick's brain, nothing was a problem for him if he was willing to think about solving it.
After giving it some thought, Trevor chimed in.
"If the plan is to be taken advantage of, Uncle Lamar will be the key. Won't this be too risky? To force Steve to a dead end and Mason into disowning him to the point of Mason turning against him so that the father and son hurt each other. Is that your plan to avenge Uncle Lamar? Isn't this too tough? Frederick, these are two living human beings, not puppet threads in your hands!"
It wasn't as if he could do anything he wanted!
Even so, it was definitely going to be an exciting show. He had to get his revenge. Just thinking about it made him feel good.
Chet nodded and echoed.
"The key is to have Master Christian cooperate and rely on Mason's kinship with Master Christian. Isn't this too unreliable? After all, Penny is his birth mother! Why would he trust us and not believe in his mother?"
Frederick snorted and explained.
"Actually, I think this gives us a higher chance of winning! The kindness to be repaid in raising one up is bigger than in giving birth. What's more, we' re merely guessing what he's is thinking. At least from the outlook, he loves Mason to the point of him giving Mason most of the company's authority. Since I can feel the imbalance, I'm sure Mason will be able to sense it as well, not to mention the family affection between father and son for over 20 years. I'm very sure that Penny didn't tell him that he is not a member of the Clements family!"
"Why not?"
Chet asked in confusion. That time, Trevor answered.
"It's simple! If he knows, why would he act so recklessly in his relationships? Wouldn't that be too much of a risk to take? If he knows what's going on, he will definitely not dare act so brashly, putting on airs as a young master of the Clements family no matter where he goes. He should learn from our former young master of the family by staying away from all women!""
The next second, Frederick rolled his eyes at him. Trevor chuckled, and Chet immediately understood.
"As he has nothing to fear, he caused so much trouble to the point of him being sued by a woman? Did Penny help him deal with everything in private?"
Chet suddenly sat up straight and said hurriedly.
"If Penny were to tell him the truth seeing how serious the matter is, our plan will be in vain, won't it?!"
"No, she won't!"
Chet was stunned by the three words that blurted out of Frederick's mouth without the slightest hesitation. All of a sudden, he realized how the spinning of his brain was a lot slower than his master's.
That time, there was no need for him to make a sound. Frederick had already taken the initiative to explain.
"No matter how skilled an actor is at
acting, one can't play a whole life drama! To keep a secret, the fewer people know about it, the better! Penny will never allow him to learn his identity because she is afraid that he will give himself away and lose everything! I am thinking that Hallie might not even know about this! That is why they are confident and fearless relying on the fact that they are part of the Clements family's bloodline. Now the most anxious person is Penny because she can't allow Christian to know about it!"
She was sure busy since she had to keep it all a secret while she cleaned up the mess. Frederick, however, had no idea if Steve's movements were out of his selfish motives or if the two of them had plotted them together.
In all fairness, although he didn't like the family and often bickered with them, Frederick had never regarded them as his enemies. After all, they were related. They could mind their own business. If they didn't make a move to provoke him, he wouldn't try to pick a fight with them!
They had gone too far. The current situation was not up to him. Being kind to the enemy was equivalent to being cruel to himself! He couldn't get into trouble. He had his wife and children to protect, so he must solve the matter thoroughly!
"Frederick, don't forget that DNA can explain everything. Their relationship can't be changed!" After thinking about it, Chet felt that the method was unreliable.
"Why don't we expose Steve's crimes? No matter what happened in the past, what happened to Megan alone can sentence him to death! Isn't it better to solve this problem once and for all?"
If they continued on exposing Mason's background, wouldn't it be enough to get rid of him from the list of heirs of the Clements family?
Chet still couldn't understand why Frederick wanted to manipulate such a complex method?
"Do you have any evidence? You should remember that there were two people in the car for the shooting incident! Except for Steve, who's the other person?"
Frederick reminded Chet. Chet and Trevor said at the same time, "Megan!"
"They are lovers. Megan got pregnant, and who caused it? We don't know! Perhaps it was not Megan who wanted Steve to stay by her side, but Steve who wanted to dampen her enthusiasm instead? In this world, the only thing that can tame a person and blind one would most probably be
love!"
Trevor nodded and added.
"It might probably be because Steve couldn't appease Megan's growing greediness, & he wanted to bury the secret, so he was provoked into killing Megan. It was killing two birds with one stone. Only the dead will keep the secret with them forever! This man is cruel. Husband and wife should always stay loyal to each other, but Steve was the one who took advantage of Megan and killed her!"
