Chapter 75 The Past 

Is she my sisterinlaw?Svetla took a few steps back, her expression filled with despair. What would you do if I didn’t call her?” 

Then let’s not meet again in the future.” 

Did you really say that?Svetla’s body visibly shook

When did I ever deceive you?Maxwell’s face was filled with disappointment

Alright, don’t you regret it.” Svetla said, and then she pushed the door and ran out

Camila turned around and saw Gideon seemingly smile

She suddenly realized that it was Gideon who had angered Svetla by throwing that roll of toilet paper. Was he doing it on purpose

Maxwell walked over and stood in front of Gideon, looking guilty

Grandfather, I’m sorry for making you suffer.”

It’s not too late for you to understand now,Gideon said with relief

Grandpa, are you feeling better now?Camila only realized this at that moment. It turns out Gideon was just pretending earlier

How did Maxwell know

At this moment, Maxwell said he was hungry and asked her to go buy some food

Camila knew they had something to say, so she left the ward

As soon as Camila left, Maxwell couldn’t wait to ask, Grandfather, I want to know the truth of that year.” 

Gideon sighed

There were some things that I didn’t want to tell you, because it involved your uncle Adam.” 

Maxwell frowned and dared not interrupt

Adam was an ambitious person. I remember when he first joined Starling Realty, he wanted ten percent of the shares. Later, I agreed to it, considering your mother’s face, but then he said he wanted an additional five percent.” 

He was too greedy!” 

What happened next?Maxwell felt that his uncle was not the same kind of person

Later, he introduced a real estate developer to collaborate with Starling Realty in developing a largescale property. Within a month of starting the project, he embezzled 50 million dollars from Starling Realty and fled.” 

Your father’s hair turned white overnight, and he went everywhere looking for clues. Finally, after three months of effort, he found the real estate developer. That person had gotten into trouble for another case and was caught by the Police.” 

Did my parents go to see him on that business trip?Maxwell had a faint memory of that incident

Yes, after they found that person, they asked about the whereabouts of the money. The person said the money had already been transferred overseas by your uncle, and he was just a scapegoat.” 

Did my parents personally tell you?” 

Not bad, that’s what they said to me in the phone call before they came back. I didn’t expect them to have an accident on the way back.” 

You said that my uncle colluded with the real estate 

developer and embezzled that money? Then why didn’t you report it later?” 

I couldn’t focus on anything after your parents had an accident. After I dealt with their affairs, I went to look for that real estate developer. He had already been released on bail and gone missing.” 

Later, Adam immigrated. Actually, Svetla wanted to go with him at that time. But seeing that you had just lost your parents, it would be good for you to have Svetla stay and keep you company. So, in order to keep her here, I made a deal with Adam.” 

What transaction?” 

I gave him a 15% stake in Starling Realty.” 

Grandpa, how could you do this?Maxwell certainly knew the value of Starling Realty, but he never expected Gideon to go to such lengths for him

Everything of mine was and will be yours. For you, not to mention one Starling Realty, even ten Starling Realties, I would be willing to give up.” 

Grandpa!Maxwell’s eyes welled up with tears

I have made up my mind, I should hand over Starling Realty to you, but the death of your parents has always been a burden on my heart.” 

Over the years, I have always suspected that the incident back then was not an accident. I suspect that your uncle is involved in this matter, so I am afraid that he will use Svetla to deceive your trust. In the end, both Starling Realty and Startak Gaming may be deceived by him

If someone had told Gideon these words in the past, he might 

not have believed them. But ever since he witnessed Svetla’s actions upon her return this time, he feels that his 

grandfather was right

I really didn’t expect Svetla to change like this after going abroad for a few years. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let her return to Louiswick.” 

You were wrong,Gideon sneered, It was me who sent someone to put her on the plane back then. Do you think it was Alan who ruined her because he couldn’t win her love?” 

The Conner family, although somewhat unconventional, never did anything wrong. It was your uncle who did the things back then.” 

What? How can it be him?” 

You didn’t expect it, did you? I was also shocked at that time

It was your cousin Dimon who arranged it, with the intention of using nude photos to threaten Svetla and make her help investigate the current investment situation of Starling Realty.” 

He had always suspected that there was more to the bankruptcy of Starling Realty back then. This is because the current Starling Realty is a newly established company after the bankruptcy and merger. As a shareholder of Starling Realty, his 15% stake had long become useless, so he was always unwilling to accept it

What did she find out then?” 

She had already opened my safe, where there were multiple shareholding proxy agreements. Fortunately, she hadn’t discovered them yet, and I caught her. Then she wanted to seek my forgiveness. I told her that as long as she told the truth, I would guarantee not to tell you about this matter.” 

But later on, I didn’t expect that Dimon would post her photos online. But I couldn’t tolerate her staying by your side anymore, so I sent her away.” 

That being said, she was also a victim,Maxwell’s eyes held a hint of compassion

Do you sympathize with her?Gideon sneered coldly, She is too ambitious and that’s why she gets taken advantage of, so you don’t need to pity her.” 

Maxwell nodded

I knew, Grandpa.” 

Gideon was relieved to see that Maxwell had listened

attentively

Tomorrow, I had Ken transfer all the shares of Starling Realty to your name and also change the legal representative. In that case, the authorization letter that Svetla had me sign yesterday would be useless.” 

What kind of authorization letter is that?” 

That was a power of attorney from a law firm called Wisdom Law Firm. I suspected that she wanted the law firm to use my authorization to investigate the situation of Starling Realty.” 

That was the law firm opened by Dimon,Maxwell heard Svetla tell him

When Camila came back with latenight snacks, Maxwell and Gideon had already finished their conversation. Gideon asked them to go back early

On the way back, Maxwell looked heavyhearted. Although he had always felt that his parentsdeath was not an accident, he had never considered that it could be related to his uncle

In addition, Svetla’s recent performance has also greatly impacted his inner self

It seemed that overnight, he had lost more loved ones around 

him

Camila was not affected by his emotions, anyway she only saw herself as Maxwell’s assistant now. After six months, she repaid Maxwell’s money and left
