Chapter 507 Secret Ties

    “Let’s meet up. Bring Nn. Henry quickly texted Eliza an address. “Come to this ce. Both bof /bbyou/b.

    Then he hung up.

    His tone was sharper than Eliza had ever heard.

    He probably realized something.

    Eliza stayed quiet for a moment before turning to Nn. “That was Henry. He wants to meet.

    “Then let’s go.”

    It had been a long time since the three of themst sat down together.

    Eliza nodded.

    If something really was going on with the Foster family, they needed to get to the bottom of it. She and Nn didn’t hesitate–they left right away.

    Soon, they arrived at a small café, just like Henry had instructed.

    He’d already cleared out the staff. There wasn’t a single employee in sight.

    The café was empty except for the three of them.

    As Eliza and Nn took their seats across from him, Henry felt like he was caught in a memory.

    It looked just like the old days, back when the three of them used to sit together in high school. Only now, they were standing on opposite sides.

    “I asked you here because this is important,” Henry said. “I know you have the ring. I’m guessing you’ve already opened it up, haven’t you?”

    Henry knew both Eliza and Nn well.

    They weren’t the type to care about the ring’s mary value. So when the usual methods didn’t turn up anything, it made sense they’d dismantle it–and once they did, the secret inside would’vee to light.

    And now, Henry also had a pretty good idea what that secret was.

    “If you already know,” Eliza replied calmly, “then I won’t bother denying it. We know exactly what your family’s been up to. If this secret gets out, the Foster family won’tst the night.” out,

    And not just go under.

    The entire upper management would end up behind bars.

    It might even expose some high–profile figures in the process.

    Eliza wasn’t exaggerating.

    She knew full well–what they found in that video was enough to destroy an entire bcorporation/b.

    And the Foster family wasn’t the only one involved.

    Henry said, “The video has nothing to do with the Foster family. If you release it, innocent bpeople /bbwill /bbget /b

    hurt.”

    “What are you saying?” Eliza frowned. “You’re telling me the secret inside that ring has nothing to do with your family? Don’t give me that. If it had nothing to do with the Fosters, then why have you all been bso /bbon /bedgetely?”

    Felix had spent the past twenty years looking for that ring. Wasn’t that because the secret inside it was btied /bto the Foster family?

    “You’re making assumptions,” Henry said. “You think the secret in that ring belongs to us just because bmy /bfather has been searching for it all these years. And because your mother once broke off an engagement with him, you think it’s all connected, right? Not to mention everything that’s gone down at ire University these past few years. Don’t tell me you never wondered who’s been bankrolling the ce. You

    know the answer.”

    The Foster family had been backing ire University for years, and in return, the school consistently bsent /bits top graduates to work at the Foster–run hospital downtown.

    The connection was obvious.

    But Henry shook his head. “My dad didn’t want the ring to cover up some dark family secret. He wanted to protect Aunt Wendy.”

    “Madam Wendy?”

    Wendy’s face shed through Eliza’s mind.

    What did ishe /iihave /iito /iido /iwith iany /iiof /iithis/ii? /i

    Henry continued, “Aunt Wendy was brilliant–ambitious, strong, and stubborn. She had plenty of guys chasing after her, but she fell for her personal bodyguard. She was ready to give up everything to be with him. Back then, love was all that mattered to her. But the Foster family was in trouble–we needed a strategic marriage to stay afloat. So she was forced to marry a man much older than her. Meanwhile, her bodyguard was told to stay away. He spiraled into depression and died. Later, her husband passed away, and she was left a wealthy widow. She inherited everything and used it to pull the Foster family through the crisis. We owe her our survival. That’s why, even when she started going off the rails, my dad kept covering for her. All the shady stuff? It wasn’t him. He tried to stop her over and over, but she wouldn’t listen. So he found another way–he tried to make up for it by doing good. The Foster family was never involved in anything violent or criminal.”

    “So you’re saying everything at ire University… the experiments… None of it had anything to do with the Foster family, and it was all Madam Wendy?”
