However, the Summer family disagreed.
All sorts of conflicts of interest combined with the weak and inability of the Summer family drove them t o extinction.
It was only natural in the business world, where the strong feasted on the weak.
However, 20 years later, the daughter of the Summer family was forced to become a mistress to one of the Ford men.
It was the woes and source of resentment between the Ford family of South City and the Summer family of Star Island.
Sebastian was the Summer family's maternal grandson, but he was the paternal grandson of the Ford family. What was he supposed to do then?
The dead could never come back alive. He could only rebuild and repair the family residence that remained on this island as an homage to them.
As for the hatred between the two families, Sebastian had killed almost all of the Ford family. Finally, it was only himself, his father, and his daughter that were left. Who else could he kill?
"Do you know my mother?" Sebastian asked out of the blue.
Harry lifted his head and gave it a moments' thought," The youngest daughter of the Summer family?"
Sebastian nodded.
Harry did not say anything.
He did know a bit about Grace Summer.
However, back then, Sean Ford was too powerful and influential. A leader of a small island like him had no power to change anything.
"Back then, your mother loved the young Director Ford very much. They were both willing adults... We can't interfere in their affairs. Besides, back then, I was just a teenager," Harry said.
"By mentioning your age back then, you mean to say you don't know about the secret or regret that my mother left behind on Star Island?" Sebastian asked.
Harry shook his head fervently, "I really have no idea, I swear I don’t!"
Sebastian did not say anything.
“Logically speaking, I...the Poole family in Kidon City and Old Master Shaw both sent me major reinforcements, in the number of soldiers and military. However, how could you...take over the entire Star Island so...so effortlessly?"
"Has it been a minute yet?" Sebastian asked.
Harry did not say anything else.
A second later, he dragged his wife and daughter and scrambled out.
There was no one else in Holden's spacious living room again but the family of three, Sebastian, Sabrina, Aino, and Holden.
Seeing his eldest brother be so terrified he almost wet himself, Holden felt endless contempt for him. He then looked at Sebastian fearlessly, as if he was ready t o embrace death like an old friend, "Mr. Sebastian! I'm also curious about the answer to the question my brother asked you earlier. I, Holden Payne, would like t o know how and what caused my defeat even if I am t o die today."
The corners of Sebastian's lips curled up coldly for an instant. He then looked at Holden in disdain, "You want to know how?"
Sitting beside Sebastian, Sabrina looked at her husband like a devout fan looking at her idol, “Dear, I want to know too. How did you silently take down the entire island?"
