Chapter 1352
For the sake of benefits… Ronald’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Cox, perhaps the Laker family has been influenced
by the Watson family to form an alliance against the Cox family!”
Avery’s eyes were as deep as dark iron, and he didn’t immediately respond.

Violet finished the last bit of candy, savoring the sweetness. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, her
voice soft and pleasing to the ear. “Well, it’s not necessarily true. We don’t know who provided this list,
and we can’t be certain of its authenticity. It doesn’t prove anything. It’s possible that someone is trying
to create trouble, using us as pawns to attack the Laker family.”
Indeed, they couldn’t dismiss that possibility.
Ronald was momentarily confused, unsure of what was happening.
At that moment, Avery spoke clearly, “Regardless of the situation, this clue is valuable to us. The
perpetrator who attacked the Zimmerman family must be another powerful force, and they definitely
hold a position among the board of elders. Irwin, investigate the Laker family and see if they have been
involved in any recent activities.”
Irwin, who was standing in the corner waiting for orders, immediately set off to carry out the task
without delay.
Before long, he returned with news.
“Mr. Cox, the list on that paper is indeed true. The head of the Laker family has indeed met privately
with the head of the Watson family, and they have already formed an alliance. On the night the
Zimmerman family was attacked, a large number of people from the Laker family disappeared without a
trace. Most of the people in their various clubs also vanished. Such a simultaneous disappearance of
so many people is definitely not a coincidence,” Irwin reported.
Avery had a plan in mind, and he let out a cold laugh. “The Laker family is also getting involved in this
mess. It seems like they’re tired of living. I wonder what kind of benefits Keith, that old fellow, promised
Maurice to persuade him to participate.”
The Laker family had always been the type to take a back seat or observe from a distance. They were
the kind who waited to reap the benefits.
It appeared that they had noticed the recent vulnerability of the Cox family and wanted to take
advantage of their misfortune.
The identified forces involved behind the scenes significantly reduced the threat to Avery. They’re
eager to reap the benefits, but unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking. Now, what concerns me more is
the person who provided this list.
“Has anyone checked who left this list at the door?” Avery asked.
Irwin, without being instructed, had already begun investigating the matter in advance, his face showing
confusion. “I’ve already checked. It was a postman who delivered the letter. He said he didn’t know who
asked him to deliver it. The person just left the money and the envelope at his doorstep, along with our
address. He simply followed the instructions. As for the surveillance cameras, I’ve also looked into
them. The recordings had been wiped clean, irretrievable, with no information left.”
Upon hearing this, Avery seemed lost in thought. “Now, this is interesting. That person is helping others
without seeking recognition, yet they were able to investigate so thoroughly. They could uncover things
that even the Cox family couldn’t find and even produced a list. It’s clear that their status is far from
ordinary.”
At that moment, Irwin hesitated before saying, “Oh, by the way, Mr. Cox, there’s something I’ve been
meaning to tell you. I’ve always felt that during our trip to Adieu Island, someone was secretly helpingnovelbin
us.”
Avery looked up at him. “How did you know?”
“At first, I wasn’t sure. I always felt like someone was following me in the shadows. Initially, I thought it
was someone from the Jagger family, so I was very cautious. However, it seemed like they were just
observing and never made a move, which made me doubt whether it was just my imagination.
However, later on, when we arri at the Jagger family’s power base, you and Violet entered the Jagger
family’s premises. While we were dealing with the Jagger family members outside, during the chaotic
battle, we felt that there was another team mixed in helping us a great deal. That’s how we were able to
fight our way into the Jagger family’s place. Later on, Violet you away. There must have been someone
secretly helping us along the way. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone s smoothly. The Jagger family
would have done everything in their power to stop you and Violet. When we were dealing with the
aftermath at the Jagger family’s place, the group upstairs had already been taken care of by the time
we got there. At first, I thought it was our people who did it. But after asking around, I found out it
wasn’t. However, because you were still unconscious and the Cox family was busy with many things,
we didn’t investiga further at that time,” Irwin replied.
An unexpected twist occurred, causing Avery’s expression to darken, his eyes reflecting a certain
complexity. “I’v never encountered anyone like this before. Going through all the trouble to travel to
Adieu Island to help the Cox family without seeking attention or expecting anything in return.”
Irwin nodded. “I find it strange too, especially with what happened today…”
Afterward, Irwin voiced his speculation, saying, “Mr. Cox, I believe that the person who helped us on
Adieu Island and the one who provided the list today must be the same individual.”
Avery thought the same way. Both forces are secretly employing the same tactics to assist us. I refuse
to believe in such a perfect coincidence. Obviously, this party has been of immense help to us.
Regardless of whether it’s on Adieu Island or today, the power of the person behind the scenes is
equally not to be underestimated. In Phison, there aren’t many who can achieve this.
The more Avery thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. What could possibly be the motive of
someone who goes to such great lengths to help me time and time again yet refuses to reveal their
identity?
