Chapter 316 There Was No Light In The Darkness
When the Fowler family met with a disaster in the past, the wealth that was eventually taken away was just a drop in the bucket.
In that chaotic era, Mailon’s ability to reach such heights on his own was itself a legendary existence.
He seemed to have lost, but in fact, he trapped all those who had been secretly targeting the Fowler family.

Even though several decades have passed by now, countless people still sought after the Fowler family’s wealth, but not a single person truly found it.
Hazel’s heart sank upon hearing the words, as the development of the situation was indeed related to interests.
“Don’t you want to avenge your grandfather?” The man’s voice was enticing, his black pupils staring intensely at the person in front of him.
She looked up and met his gaze, her almond–shaped eyes calm and serene, concealing her true emotions.
Hazel pretended to be indifferent and said, “Is it important to seek revenge when people have been asleep for decades?”
“However, Mr. Scott seemed quite eager for me to seek revenge, do you also desire to obtain that wealth?”
The curve at the corner of her eyes, raised, was filled with irony.
But these words did not change Ricky’s expression at all. He seemed to have known what her reaction would be when she found out. The phone on the table kept vibrating, but no one paid any attention.
Hazel got up on her own and didn’t show much interest in the bracelet on the coffee table.
Even without considering the value behind this bracelet, it is itself a valuable and rare treasure, which could be auctioned for billions.
“Didn’t you notice that there have been a lot more eyeliner around you recently?”
Hazel’s footsteps came to a halt as she stepped onto the carpet with her daughter’s matching fluffy slippers, creating a harmonious sight.
She turned around and looked at the man sitting on the sofa, his eyes slightly raised. “What do you want to say?”
Ricky: “We collaborated.”
Whether it was for personal gain or genuine affection, he did indeed have a strong interest in the Hazel in front of him.
She was the most transparent person he had ever met.
“I know you have immense power in Canada, but don’t forget, this is our homeland, where there is no light in the darkness. You may not be afraid yourself, but what about your daughter and son?”
Looking into her eyes, which were as cold and dark as ink, Hazel saw the determination to obtain power emanating from him.
“Businesses were no match for power, and power was only held by a few.”
His voice was cold and devoid of warmth, yet it hit the nail on the head in pointing out the current predicament.
The temperature of the water on the coffee table had reached the perfect taste. The slender fingers, with distinct joints, held the cup as effortlessly as holding power.
Ricky was not in a hurry to hear her response.
He had already made all the preparations as he would personally come to deliver the goods today.
People with weaknesses can only force themselves to keep moving forward.
Only by standing at the peak and looking down, making everyone fear one’s existence, can one better protect the people they want to protect.
After finishing the water in his glass, Ricky leisurely got up, his lips curved into a gentle and warm smile as he looked at her. His gaze swept over the black wooden box on the coffee table, but there was no greed for the wealth behind the bracelet in his eyes.
“Bracelet, returned to its rightful owner.”
Before leaving, he left his business card.
A plain black silver–stamped card with no patterns, only a string of phone numbers.
The living room returned to silence.
Hazel’s
‘s gaze lingered on the card on the black wooden box, seeing through the man’s actions, she didn’t expect that beneath his calm and composed facade, he was actually an arrogant person.

In the departing cat, Ricky saw a message with a pre–written note on it, consisting of four words
Hazel: We cooperated happily.
The man’s gloomy gaze withdrew from the screen of his phone and turned to the receding countryside scenery outside the window, with a slight smile on his lips.
The enemy’s enemy is indeed a friend, and this statement is not wrong

A few days ago, Johnson, who had temporarily returned to Canada to handle some matters, landed at Aspen Airport and immediately noticed a vaguely familiar woman, as requested by Hazel, he was also on his way to take Lucia back to the mansion.
Hazel saw him come back and handed Leila over to him to take care of.
She had to go to the Akron experimental base frequently these days.
Although it’s only a journey of one or two hours, since the child is still young, there will always be some increased risks when traveling by car.
Johnson had no objection to this.
The matters abroad have already been dealt with, and he directly took a long vacation for himself, just to stay at home and spend time with his children.
He suddenly said, “When I arrived, I saw Danna at the airport.”
Hazel, who was tidying up the documents, heard this and didn’t pause for a moment, not surprised by it.
“Ricky just arrived yesterday, she must have followed him here.”
“What did he come to do? Is he going to talk to you about that child groom thing again?”
“Let’s talk about collaboration,” she discussed Ricky’s matter with him, highlighting the key points.
Although Jasper had said it before, as long as they cooperated well, he would arrange for someone to protect the domestic experimental base. Given his position there, this statement undoubtedly equated to a get–out–of–jail–free card.
But yesterday Ricky told her a secret.
The most powerful person, apart from the Scott family, during the operation to besiege the Fowler family that year, was someone from the Sterling family.
Johnson knew her temperament, so since she agreed, it must have been a well–considered decision.
He also did not persuade her. Over the years, she and Leila lived in the country, and he also consciously developed his influence in the country. Gradually, he also gained some important connections.
But the entire northern region was almost evenly divided between the Sterling family and the Scott family.
Hazel smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t that easy to take advantage of either.”
Since those people all wanted to take a share from her, they also had to be mentally prepared to have a piece of flesh cut off by her.
A biting rabbit may not necessarily be weaker than a lion.
“Be careful in everything, there are many cockroaches and rats in dark places,” Johnson frowned, and his concern for her only grew stronger.
Hazel nodded, “I knew.”
The next morning, Johnson was by his daughter’s side, and Hazel went to the ZN Experimental Base with peace of mind.
Just as she was not far from leaving the village entrance, several black cars that had been lying in ambush emerged from the dense woods beside, directly surrounding Hazel’s car in the middle.
“Go out.” Hazel said impatiently.
As long as she held the big cake of the laboratory in her hands, the profit–seeking flies always lingered.
The Akron Experimental Gene arrived exactly at ten o’clock.
Hazel looked at another scrapped car, her expression on her face was far from good.
This was already not known how many cars had been hit.
Jadon had a piece of grass in his mouth, which he had casually pulled out. He had a neat crew cut, and there was a lingering coldness between his eyebrows.

“Ms. Robinson,” he said with a smile on his lips, cunningly resembling a fox.

She had doubted Jadon’s purpose of coming to the experimental base, but after investigation, she found that his every word and action really
seemed like he had come to work.
Not only him, but even those little followers who used to surround her before, worked harder than anyone else.
I didn’t know, I thought this experimental base belonged to Jadon.
Hazel paused in front of him, her gaze briefly flickering towards the sandy ground beside her, where Leila had dug a large hole. There was a momentary tenderness in her eyes.
As she heard the words behind the man, the warmth in her eyes instantly cooled down.
