Griffon picked up his phone again and lowered his cold gaze as he silently checked the timeline.
The time when Elder mated Eliza happened to be the same time when Sumasa went to Aronland to seek help from the Carmine pack.
The timing of Elder’s mating was so coincidental that it could be said to be seamlessly connected. What’s even more
incredible was…
Before Elder mated Eliza, Tara was born. She was only four years younger than Rosalie.
Based on this timeline, it could be inferred that Elder had already cheated before he kicked out Sumasa and her daughters.
If this was really the truth of the matter, then Elder was a despicable person who was ungrateful and abandoned his she-wolf and pups.
“Sir, Peter has sent another message saying that Elder had a secret wife before mating Eliza. His secret wife’s name is Sarah Sinclair. She helped fund the Thorin pack after it fell or
hard times.”
Sumasa was actually a secretly mated wife. No wonder nobody knew about her.
Based on Peter’s latest update, it seemed that Griffon’s a*sumption was likely correct.
Sumasa mated into a wealthy pack and also helped to invest in the Thorin pack.
Four years later, Elder cheated on Sumasa with Eliza.
Then Griffon could understand why the Carmines would say that Sumasa was deceived and lost all her a*sets.
Tara and Taya looked alike.
And they did resemble Elder.
Half-siblings with some resemblance to their father’s facial features and expressions were quite normal.
After untangling the complex relationships, Griffon suddenly felt a bit depressed.
Taya’s background was not very good. Both her maternal and paternal packs were not good people.
How painful would it be for her to know that her mother was abandoned by her pack and then by her husband?
There was no need to recognize or even know the existence of such pack members.
Anyway, for the rest of their lives, Griffon would protect Taya, take care of her, and wouldn’t let anyone bully her.
He would just let these miscellaneous people remain in the records forever.
Griffon put down his phone and stared coldly up at Zack.
“Don’t let Taya know about these, and don’t let anyone else find it out. Plus, find out Johnny’s purpose for looking for
Rosalie as soon as possible!”
If Griffon found that Johnny was trying to harm Rosalie and Taya, he wouldn’t let Johnny go and give him a strike first.
Zack was efficient. He came to see Griffon the next day. However, the outcome was somewhat disappointing.
“Alpha, I only found out that Johnny’s mother is very ill, which is why she asked Johnny to look for Sumasa’s daughter. Only Johnny, his mother, and his sister know the specific reasons. Even the Carmines don’t know about it.”
The Brook pack was considered the most prominent pack overseas, surpa*sing packs such as the Carmine and Sherwood packs in terms of social status.
Before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Johnny, the head of the Brook pack, was just influential as Griffon.
Even though the Brook pack lost the business battle against the Knight pack back then, under Johnny’s leadership, they quickly made a comeback.
After Johnny fell ill, he often couldn’t think clearly and would become extremely agitated if he dwelled on things too much.
Johnny often lamented about his poor physical condition and bad luck, which was why he repeatedly lost to Griffon.
If Johnny had not fallen ill, he would have been a formidable opponent for Griffon.
So, information about the Brook pack was hard to come by unless intentionally disclosed, as their secrets were buried deep within their hearts.
Griffon understood this naturally and did not blame Zack. He simply instructed Zack to continue investigating and find it out no matter what.
Zack thought for a moment and realized that if he wanted to investigate, he would need to create a fake identity to get close to Johnny’s sister in order to possibly gather information.
As for Johnny’s dying mother, she was being cared for in a strictly guarded hospital and Zack cannot even enter. Therefore, Zack can only target Johnny’s sister.
“Sir, I’ll ask Stefan to protect you and Mrs. Knight on your honeymoon. I will go and investigate Johnny’s motives first.”
“Okay.”
Griffon cleared his throat and responded without parting his lips.
Zack turned around and walked out, but then he seemed to remember something. He stopped in his tracks and turned back to Griffon.
“Oh, by the way, sir, last time you asked what Master Davies’ first love looked like, didn’t you? Peter happened to be back at headquarters last night, so I asked him to take a sneak peek at the photo that Master Davies had hidden. He took a picture of it and sent it to me. Do you want to see it?”
As Griffon was about to get up to look for Taya, he heard Zack and sat back down again.
Then he lifted his fingers and beckoned to Zack.
“Show me!”
Zack immediately held up his phone and handed it to Griffon.
The photo had turned yellow, but it had been well-preserved and was not damaged.
The woman in the photo stood under a magnolia tree, facing the dappled sunlight, with a serene smile on her face.
face that appeared slightly immature at
the age of 18. One could still see that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
When Master Davies first saw Taya, he was shocked and called out to her.
At that time, Griffon mistakenly thought that Master Davies became so excited upon seeing Taya because Taya looked exactly like Ashley.
But now, the woman in the photo with the name Ashley written on it looked completely different from Taya. They had two completely different faces.
Jocelyn had said that Taya had a striking resemblance to Sumasa’s before her disfigurement.
If Master Davies’ first love was Taya’s mother, Master Davies would definitely approach Taya and introduce himself upon
meeting Taya.
But at that moment, Master Davies only got excited for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. He didn’t go
to Taya or even say a word.
It suggested that Master Davies probably only knew Sumasa before she was disfigured, and their meeting was likely a
reunion of old friends.
Griffon thought for a moment and realized that Ashley
probably just shared the same last name as Sumasa, and they didn’t have anything to do with each other.
Who was this woman named Ashley then?
“Sir…”
Zack swallowed and pointed at the photo, bravely saying,
“I feel like…this woman named Ashley looks somewhat like you!”
Her and Griffon’s facial features all had a striking resemblance.
Upon hearing this, Griffon’ fingers froze on the photo, his gaze turning cold as he stared intensely at the person in the picture.
He did resemble her a bit, but so what? It was not like Master Davies’ first love had anything to do with him, right?
After Griffon resolved his previous doubts, he became
impatient and raised his finger, waving it towards Zack.
“Tell Peter to be careful and not let Master Davies know that he took the photo without permission.””
When it comes to Master Davies’ first love, it was always dangerous. It was best to be cautious and avoid harming innocent people.
“Yes.”
Zack didn’t say anything more but just quickly nodded his head when he found that Griffon didn’t take his words seriously.
When Zack turned around, he wanted to tell Griffon that he had been intermittently investigating the truth about his elder brother’s death.
But now there were so many things going on. Zack found it was better not to bother Griffon with this kind of thing and decided to investigate it by himself when he had time.
The top priority right now was to find out Johnny’s purpose. Everything else could be put on hold for the time being.
