Zivon, for one, never liked it when people meddled in his business, especially when he was trying to keep something a secret. With that in mind, he quickly glared at her while asking, “What do you know?”
“Now, now, there’s no need to be mad, Young Master Burton. I’ve just noticed that you’ve signed a contract under your name instead of the Burton Group’s name during one of your collaborations… With that said, I’m assuming you plan to leave the Burton Group and set up your own company? I, for one, think it’s a good thing, and that it’s the perfect time to do so,” explained Sophia, prompting Zivon to squint before looking away.
It was a short while later when he replied, “Those are my personal plans. That aside, I was asking you whether you knew about the person who took those pictures and exposed all this.”
This left Sophia slightly stunned. So that was what he was asking about… In the end, she looked down before saying, “None of this seems coincidental, that’s for sure… I have a feeling that you’ve been watched for the longest time… and now that something as big as this has come up, it isn’t surprising for either that old fox or your stepmom to make a move. After all, her son just returned.”
Mrs. Burton and Hershel had been without an heir for the longest time, and it was even determined that the duo had difficulties in conceiving children. Because of that, when Ava learned of Zivon’s existence, she had immediately brought him back to the Burton Manor…
However, Mrs. Burton got pregnant that same year. Alas, that child was nowhere near as smart as Zivon was, and in the end, Mrs. Burton had no choice but to send him abroad to study. Though everyone who knew was told that he was sent over to pursue the study of true art, the fact remained that he was only sent away so that nobody else would ever learn of him.
Though Zivon didn’t remember his half-brother much, he did know what Mrs. Burton was planning… and if that man truly returned, then things would certainly be set into motion.
With that in mind, he shook his head before replying, “…So you had the same thoughts as I did. I guess there’s nothing more to talk about, then. I’ll go check on Maison.”
Following that, Zivon left the room, prompting Sophia to frown slightly. The fact that he hadn’t assumed that she had the same thoughts as him… Did that mean that he had initially suspected her? Clenching her fists slightly, she then walked out of the house and drove away…
