CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: SERAPHINA REDGRAVE IS NOT AN ORPHAN

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

"President Sterling." The butler thought for a while and then, trembling with fear, spoke up. "The master said he already realizes his mistake. He asked me to convey to you if you could let this go just this once. He promises never to do it again."

"Ha, what are you? And you dare to plead on his behalf?"

Having stayed in the Sterling Family for so long, the butler naturally knew that Ethan Sterling’s sore spot was the master. He dared not say more and obediently shut his mouth.

He truly was in a dilemma; if he didn’t speak up, the master would scold him, but if he did, the young master would give him the cold shoulder. It’s tough to be a butler these days.

Ethan Sterling stood motionless with a blank expression, slowly closing his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

"Go back and tell him right now that this is my mother’s home, the place where my mother lived. If I find him causing trouble here again, I won’t hesitate to send him to see my mother!"

"Yes, yes! President Sterling, please calm down, I’ll go right away!"

As if granted amnesty, the butler almost ran away from the scene.

Ethan Sterling looked at Nathan Ayers standing in the corner and irritably tugged off his clothes.

The old geezers at the company are probably just waiting for the day he dies to completely obliterate him.

"President Sterling, you didn’t rest well last night, did you?"

Nathan Ayers suddenly noticed the dark circles under his eyes.

"What? Not only is your brain not working well, but now even your eyesight is failing?"

Not a single good word came out of Ethan Sterling’s mouth, but Nathan Ayers was used to it. He could only remain silent, waiting for Ethan to process his terrible mood by himself.

Ethan Sterling, with a stern face, found himself particularly prone to losing control here. Rather than staying and fuming, it was better to head back to his Hibiscus Garden.

He suddenly thought of someone—what was that little guy up to now?

Not in vain for following Ethan Sterling for many years, Nathan Ayers suddenly produced a report and handed it to Ethan.

"President Sterling, you previously asked me to investigate Miss Redgrave’s matters. It’s strange, this young lady is quite difficult to trace. I exerted some effort and only managed to find out this much."

Nathan Ayers didn’t expect that, having failed to deal with Ethan Sterling, he couldn’t even handle that woman in Hibiscus Garden!

But speaking of which, when Ethan Sterling initially brought Seraphina Redgrave back from the forbidden grounds, he refused Nathan Ayers’ request to investigate her.

Recently, however, for some unknown reason, Ethan Sterling was urgently pressing Nathan to thoroughly investigate Seraphina Redgrave’s past.

With his experience, he could confidently guarantee that Ethan had indeed developed a different kind of feeling toward this enigmatic Seraphina Redgrave.

Even Ethan himself had not realized that his indulgence toward Seraphina had reached an outrageous degree.

But after flipping through all of Seraphina Redgrave’s records thoroughly, she was indeed just a lunatic with mental issues!

What on earth did Ethan Sterling want? It couldn’t actually be love, could it?

Hearing Nathan’s words, Ethan rubbed his forehead.

"Seraphina Redgrave is not an orphan."

Nathan did not ask how Ethan discovered this fact, knowing that his own intelligence was far from enough to match Ethan’s.

Nathan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and spoke slowly without haste.

"Seven years ago, the Redgrave Family beat Seraphina nearly to death and then sent her directly to the forbidden grounds. For some reason, the Redgrave Family had already erased all data concerning Seraphina, as if she never existed."

Here, Nathan glanced at Ethan, "But the strange thing is, why did the Redgrave Family send a teenage girl to the forbidden grounds seven years ago? What conspiracy lies within? What role did the Redgrave Family play in this?"

Under Z Nation’s current system, not all patients need to be sent to the forbidden grounds.

Only those most heinous and notoriously incorrigible villains, after repeated confirmation by the relevant government departments that they cannot be controlled, would be cautiously sent to the forbidden grounds.

Given the Redgrave Family’s influence at that time, directly sending Seraphina to the forbidden grounds shouldn’t have been something they could achieve.

A true orphan wouldn’t be worth such an effort from them.

If it wasn’t Seraphina who had problems, then it must be the Redgrave Family, or the people behind them, who had been plotting something seven years ago?

"The Redgrave Family? Which Redgrave Family?" Ethan had no impression at all.

"It’s Jonathan Redgrave, who’s been in the spotlight recently. He recently came to the company’s premises wanting to meet you. With the upcoming election, he’s suggesting a collaboration with you."

Nathan stared at the files in his hands, "He has a biological daughter named Mia Redgrave. She’s quite famous online, leveraging her looks to garner many votes for him."

"Recently, Mia Redgrave has been coming to the company every day, sticking to the same rhetoric. It’s all about hoping you’ll support her father in securing votes and doing charity work. I had people refuse her directly, yet she persists."

"In a household like that, how could someone as peculiar as Seraphina Redgrave emerge?"

For a moment, Ethan couldn’t find more suitable words to describe Seraphina Redgrave.

She always managed to perform jaw-dropping deeds in the most unexpected ways.

"Keep investigating! Even if you have to turn the entire Redgrave Family upside down, I want to know exactly what her origins are!"

Who "she" referred to was self-evident.

Nathan carefully analyzed Ethan’s expression, knowing he had said too much about the Redgrave Family. Ethan was now visibly annoyed, so Nathan unconsciously hid the files behind him.

Nathan’s little action didn’t escape Ethan’s sharp eyes.

"What now? Are you also learning to play the game of outward compliance but inner opposition? Hand them over!"

"President Sterling, these are about the Redgrave Family. Some news broke out about them last night, and I thought you might not be that interested."

Nathan chuckled awkwardly as he handed the files over to Ethan.
