Chapter 1310
I was a little surprised and looked at him with uncertainty. "Are you talking about my grandmotherCarol?"
He nodded.novelbin
"But isn't she the adopted daughter of the Spencer family? Why is her surname Reid?"
"Mrs. Spencer couldn't give birth at that time, so she raised your grandmother as an adopteddaughter. Originally, her surname was Spencer, but soon after Carol was adopted, Mrs. Spencer gotpregnant with a child of her own. Later, the Spencer family changed Carol's surname to Reid, afterMrs. Spencer's maiden name."
I nodded and gazed at him. "And then?"
He looked at me and raised his hand to brush the hair on my forehead to one side and said, "AfterCarol married into the Milton family, the country began to develop vigorously in industrial production.The development of electrical appliances made oil a boon for your grandmother. The domestic oilmining rights were in the hands of your grandmother. So the Milton family took this opportunity toexploit it. For a moment, the Milton family became one of the most powerful families in Jarold City.Many families back then all fawned over them. The Milton family was so prosperous that manynobles in Jarold City wanted to get rid of them out of envy. However, the source of the Miltonfamily's wealth was your grandmother. Once they controlled your grandmother, it would be easy toexploit the oil industry. However, your grandmother knew of the impact of oil on the nation, so sheplanned to keep oil mining and extraction under strict control. However, the Milton family made a lotof money and did not want to listen to her advice. Therefore, your grandmother had to run awaywith the legal documents for oil mining rights inside a box."
I guessed as I looked at him. "Could the box you're talking about be the sandalwood box Grandmaleft for me?"
He nodded. "That's the box. Back then, Sebastian tried his best to get close to you because of thatbox."
I recalled carefully. The first time I saw Sebastian was at Grandma's grave. He stood in front ofGrandma's tombstone for a long time. At that time, I thought he was paying his respects and didn'tthink much about it. Now on second thought, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his motives.
"But I've given the box to Sebastian!" I had never taken the box seriously, so I let him take it withoutthinking when he asked for it in Myanway.
He looked at me and nodded. "I know!"
I opened my eyes wide and said, "Then why are you so calm now?" Since that box had been takenaway by Sebastian, I didn't know what would happen. After so many years, although the right to oilextraction was controlled by the country, it had been private property. Without the formal handoverceremony, once this matter was exposed, the Milton family would not default on the right to exploitit.
He looked at me with a faint smile. "I had prepared in advance, and switched out the box."
I was stunned and spoke with surprise, "Sebastian will kill us if he found out. Although not a matterof life and death, it's still a lot of money that can be pocketed. If the Milton family takes the money,they will get the chance and try their best to fight with the Roberts Group."
Hendrix smiled faintly. "It looks like he hasn't opened the box yet." I couldn't help but look at him."Why are you so sure that he won't open it?"
He looked at me and smiled. "After the box is opened, according to the Milton family's usualbehavior, they will definitely rely on the box to contest the Roberts again, and then contact the
state's Treasury to apply for the legal right to extract oil once again. During this period, the Miltonfamily will make a lot of money. It's difficult for us not to know of such a thing."
