Chapter 731: Unimaginable Danger
Damian Knight gradually lost patience and directly asked Susan Stone what she meant.
Why was it because of Summer Monroe that she absolutely could not accept it?
Susan Stone sighed deeply, lowered her voice, and said, "Did you know that Summer Monroe’s father is not Henry Stanton?"
Damian Knight was stunned and said, "I know."
Hearing this, Susan Stone widened her eyes in surprise.
"You actually know?! How did you find out?"
Damian Knight saw fear spreading in Susan Stone’s eyes.
He found it strange, as he had never seen this person who never cared about others display such an expression when mentioning Summer Monroe’s background.
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, he replied, "Once, Henry Stanton wanted to treat Summer Monroe as a commodity and send her to my bed in exchange for Stanton Group’s interests. Summer Monroe felt that no real father would do such a thing, so she had Isaac Ross conduct a DNA test. It turned out that Henry Stanton was indeed not her biological father. But apparently, Henry Stanton doesn’t know about this."
Susan Stone let out a bitter laugh and said, "How would that fool know? Ever since Luna planned to marry Henry Stanton, everything was already within her plans. Unfortunately, she hadn’t calculated that she would die at their hands."
Damian Knight furrowed his brows tightly and said, "So you do know how Sadie’s mom died. Did her mother die at the hands of Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe?"
Susan Stone nodded and then shook her head, "I don’t know the specifics, but those two were definitely involved in the murder."
Damian Knight was confused, his voice carrying a hint of anger: "Weren’t you and Sadie’s mom once good friends? Why did you stand by when she was murdered and not help punish the culprits or find out the truth?"
"Because... the real mastermind is someone else, and none of us can provoke that person."
"Us?"
Susan Stone looked directly into Damian Knight’s eyes, nodding firmly, "Yes, us. Our entire Knight Group... no, even The Four Great Families of Crestfall united wouldn’t be a match for him."
"Who is he?"
"Do you know... Trevia?" Susan Stone clenched her palms to prevent herself from trembling.
"Trevia..." Damian Knight thought about it and nodded, "When I took world history classes at Crestfall University, the teacher once mentioned this country. It’s very strange; it still hasn’t opened up diplomatically, so we can’t get any information about it. All we know is that it’s very mysterious and has a long history, but we have no way of knowing how long their history truly is."
"It’s more than just mysterious..." Susan Stone sighed and said, "Logically, a place that remains closed off should have long been eliminated due to backwardness, but they have persisted. Moreover, it’s said that the people of their country possess some mysterious powers that cannot be explained scientifically."
Damian Knight dismissed it as a joke.
"It’s all just rumors, simply because they haven’t shown themselves, leading to all sorts of speculation from the outside."
Susan Stone chuckled quietly while shaking her head, "I’ve seen him... that man... anyway, it’s terrifying to even talk about it. What I can tell you is that Summer Monroe’s biological father is someone from Trevia. They don’t allow marriages with foreigners, supposedly to prevent their bloodline from spreading. That’s why Luna couldn’t marry into there in the end."
Damian Knight frowned and asked, "So you mean the ones who killed Sadie’s mom were people from Trevia?"
"Yes." Susan Stone nodded, then grabbed Damian Knight’s sleeve abruptly and said, "So you can fall in love with anyone, even if she’s penniless and offers you no help, but not Summer Monroe, anyone but her! She will bring unimaginable danger to our family!"
