Chapter 198 - 198. Smith Family

A few days later.

Brian's house.

It was now two o'clock in the afternoon, Kevin entered the magnificent mansion with hasty steps.

"Where is Mr. Brian?" Kevin asked stopping his steps when he passed a Maid.

"He is upstairs."

Hearing that, Kevin nodded and then continued his steps which had been stopped.

Knock...knock...knock...

Kevin knocked on the door.

"Enter." A male voice was heard from inside the room, Kevin immediately opened the door.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he still didn't move from his place. The man was still in a reclining position while smoking a cigarette. The windows were tightly closed and the light in the room was slightly dim, making the atmosphere seem gloomy.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, sir."

"Say."

"Someone sent this to you, sir," Kevin said as he placed an envelope on the table in front of Brian.

"Open it, and see what's inside," Brian pleaded.

"Okay," Kevin then opened the envelope, his brow furrowed when he found some papers inside.

Without waiting any longer, he immediately checked the contents, and at the same time, Kevin froze on the spot.

"Sir, I think you'll have to see it," Kevin said and at the same time, Brian opened his eyes, grabbed the paper that was handed to him. Just a glance and his hands were already tightly clenched.

It was a letter containing the divorce suit from Anna. Not only that but some of the things he has done in the past few years are also clearly imprinted there. Although it was not explained what he meant, Brian knew very well that it was a threat if he didn't sign the letter. All kinds of murder, arms smuggling, and human organ transactions are printed very clearly there, even the time and place are also mentioned.

Yes, for the past five years, ever since he was made Mr. Javier's son, that man was no longer the Brian he used to be. Being the son of a famous mafia in Italy, of course, he has done a lot of dirty things. And all that time, no one had bothered him like this, not to mention that he did all of this with the utmost care and secrecy. How can someone find out so easily?

It seems the current situation is no longer as easy as he imagined.

"Who sent this?" Brian asked, squeezing the paper in his hand, there's no way Anna dared to threaten him like this, there must be someone standing behind the woman. Or also someone who wants the same thing with him? Who knows. Everything is still vague.

Just by looking at the contents of the envelope, Brian already knew that now he wasn't the only one who knew Anna's real identity.

"I don't know, sir. I found it in the car," Kevin replied.

"Has the Smith family been aware of that woman's whereabouts in this country?" Brian asked.

"Not yet Sir, the people I assigned to guard at the airport, have never seen a single person from the Smith family arrive."

"Okay, don't let this news reach my father."

"Yes sir."

"Immediately find the woman's whereabouts, and bring her to me at all costs," Brian ordered.

"Yes sir."

Devan's Room || D.A Group

No one knows how many times Devan has taken a shaky breath in the room since earlier his focus has only been on the laptop screen. Read the contents of his email inbox many times. a few days ago he had received some information regarding what he had asked his men to do, and today he had received all the information, regarding Anna, Brian, and what had happened to them both in the past five years, including Nicho, the man that helps the woman, and it made Devan's breath sound heavy, the occasional frown visible on his forehead.

"Smith Family," Devan muttered, he had said those two words ten times in the span of only a few minutes.

After reading the entire contents of the email, Devan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Now he no longer wondered why Anna's father had gone and left her when her mother had just died. That's because, from the start, Anna was not their biological child.

"Claire Smith, that's your name, honey," he muttered again.

'Smith' was just that word, everyone who heard it would refer to the richest families in Australia and France, famous families who never had the slightest bad news about them. The generosity of the Smith family made the family widely known by all circles.

However, twenty years ago, a tragic incident happened to the family. When their five-year-old daughter, Jason Smith, who is the head of the family, had a tragic accident with his wife while on a trip out of town, and since then, their daughter has been missing somewhere.

The news of the death of the family is still often a hot topic of discussion among people. Maybe because of their kindness?

Even though the extended family has carried out various kinds of investigations, as well as the search for the only daughter of the husband and wife, they have yet to find enlightenment.

Since then, all of Smith's business and wealth fell into Aaron Smith's hands for a while until the princess was found again. Aaron Smith is the younger brother of Jason Smith.

The man had searched everywhere, sent his people to various surrounding countries but the result was the same.

And that made Aaron start to despair.

In the end, he decided to make a contest.

"A third of the Smith family's fortune will go to whoever discovers the whereabouts of the Princess."

The competition was held by Aaron starting this year, a few months ago to be exact. And it made all circles into an uproar looking for the whereabouts of the Princess 'Claire Smith'.

If it is compared, a third of Smith's wealth may never run out even to a hundred generations. That's only a third, not the whole.

So with that contest, try to say whose heart is not moved. All people, from businessmen, state officials, to people who work in the dark world join in the search for the whereabouts of the only daughter of the family.

All that information made Devan's head almost explode. That means Brian forced Anna to marry just because he wanted the wealth of the Smith family. Not a third but a whole.

"That's so cute," he mumbled, taking a shaky breath. His eyes never left a photo of a five-year-old little girl printed on his laptop screen, as well as a photo of a birthmark to the little girl's photo.

A birthmark he had seen so many times on Anna's body.
