Colton took the laptop over to take a look at Kendrick's information. The files contained some pieces of
information that weren't available to the public, and these were the pieces of information that Colton
had been looking for. The details that were available on the internet were merely things that Kendrick
wanted others to know—these weren't details that everyone really wanted to find out about.
"He's from the Hofstead Family?" Colton mumbled to himself as he looked at Kendrick's past identity
thoughtfully.
"Surprising, right? I was surprised, too. I can't believe he's part of the Hofstead Family." Beryl raised an
eyebrow as he stared at Colton. When Beryl first found out about the news, he had been shocked as
well. I can't believe that someone from the Hofstead Family managed to attain such a high position
when most of their members ended up in prison or on the streets more than ten years ago, Beryl
thought.
Colton's gaze darkened as he stared at the details listed on his laptop. He fixed his gaze on the few
words that had caught his eye. The Hofstead Family used to work closely with the Gardners, but that
was more than ten years ago. The Gardners had always held more power than the Hofsteads.
However, the Hofsteads were a wild and greedy bunch—they were keen to surpass the Gardners, and
they had attempted to attack the Gardners a few times in the past. Fortunately for the Gardners,
Benjamin wasn't an easy target.
Naturally, Benjamin hadn't been pleased when the Hofsteads first provoked and attacked him back
then. He got back at them a few times at the start, but the Hofsteads didn't seem to step down even
after that. They continued to provoke the Gardners, and each time it happened, Benjamin would simply
respond with a relatively merciful comeback. However, an accumulation of Benjamin's attacks
eventually forced the Hofsteads into a corner. Eventually, the Hofsteads faced some severe issues in
their internal divisions, resulting in the dissolution of their company. Some fewer savory activities that
had been going on in their company were also exposed at this point in time, and the family went
bankrupt after that. Several of their members were arrested and jailed.
"If Kendrick's from the Hofstead Family, that gives him a clear motive to get revenge for them.
Everything makes sense, then." Colton remained silent for a long while, and Beryl finally came up with
a statement before sighing to himself. Colton's probably out of it now because he's worried about
Nicole. I'd never seen him act the way he did before I showed up earlier.
"Yeah. Stop investigating the others. I want to focus on knowing more about Kendrick," Colton
announced in a deep voice. His eyes were bloodshot when he looked up to meet Beryl's gaze.
Beryl nodded and kept quiet for a while before speaking. "I'll head off now. I'm staying next door, so you
can just call me if you need anything," he offered.
Colton didn't respond after that.
Beryl simply took the other man's silence as a response, and he turned to walk out after that. He didn't
take his laptop with him, as he knew that Colton would want to continue going through the files. I
should give him some time to think things through, Beryl figured. After Beryl headed off, Colton was left
all alone in his room.
Wendy had a bag of takeaway food in her hand as she paced along the corridors outside the room.
She had been standing outside for a while, but she hadn't heard any sounds coming from the room.
She was torn between announcing her presence and remaining silent when she heard sounds coming
from the door. She hastily straightened her figure as she thought, Colton is probably going to head out
to buy cigarettes or alcohol if he's going out at this hour. I'm supposed to keep an eye on him, so it's my
job to make sure that he doesn't harm himself in any way.
"Beryl?" Wendy was stunned when she saw the man stepping out of the room. She instinctively
glanced at the room door to make sure that it was Colton's room. That's the correct room number. Why
did Beryl walk out of Colton's room? A disturbing thought popped up in her mind then. Are they…
dating each other? Wendy curled her lips into a smirk at that thought.
When Beryl saw the smile on Wendy's face, he could immediately guess what she was thinking about.
He gave her a gentle flick on her forehead before speaking in an exasperated tone. "What are you
thinking about? I simply had some stuff to talk to your brother about. What's up?"
"Ah!" Wendy rubbed her forehead before glaring at Beryl. "Ugh." The two of them had started bickering
with one another ever since they were kids.
