Levant’s mind was buzzing. Did my dad really lie about this?
“I believe my third condition is nothing hard for you. If you can achieve this, I’ll detoxify another thirty
percent of their poison.”
Crystal Rose’s words caused the three to exchange glances with each other.
Not hard? How could killing someone not be hard?
Plus, the person she ordered them to kill was no other than Murphy. He was Levant’s father and also
the uncle of Evan and Davin. There was no way it was considered an easy task.
“You’re asking us to break into Wicked Palace to kill its owner. How is this not difficult? It’s nearly
mission impossible!” Davin sighed.
“I’m sure you can do it if you try. Of course, if you decide to stop their treatment, you can opt not to.”
After that, the woman turned back to the bamboo house.
Levant stared at Evan suspiciously. “Are you seriously considering killing your uncle for Nina’s
treatment?”
The man shot a look at him. “I’m just curious what he did for Crystal Rose to resent him so much.”
Levant was speechless, for he was also unsure of the answer.
“Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding between them. Before we came here, we even called Uncle
Morris to understand the situation. By his tone, he seemed not to be lying about not knowing her.”
After Davin finished his explanation, Levant pitched in, “I also think that this weird woman got it wrong.
There’s no way my dad would lie so blatantly!”
At that moment, Draven suddenly walked up to them and reminded them, “Mr. Seet, I was the one who
found out that there was history between Crystal Rose and the owner of Wicked Palace. There’s a
rumor circulating that Crystal Rose was not the woman’s initial name. She had changed her name upon
arriving at Nepenthe Valley from K Nation.”
Once Draven finished talking, Davin took a moment to think before asking, “So what you’re trying to
say is that Crystal Rose was using another name while in K Nation. Therefore, Uncle Morris would only
recognize her initial name and not Crystal Rose!”
“What was she called before?” Levant looked toward Draven for an answer.
After thinking for a moment, Draven answered, “I’m not sure about her full name, but her nickname was
called Jordyn.”
“Jordyn?” Levant repeated the name. “I’m not sure if my dad will know her.”
“You can ask him about it. If your dad knows her, that’ll be able to confirm that love and hatred exist
between them!”
“That’s right. You can call and confirm it with Uncle Morris.”
Upon hearing Evan and Davin’s prompting, Levant hesitated for a moment before giving Murphy a call.
The person on the other end picked up the call almost immediately.
“What’s the matter?”
“Dad, I wanted to ask if you know a certain someone called Jordyn?”
When Murphy heard that name, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression darkened. Immediately,
memories from the past flashed past his mind, causing him to feel nauseous.
“Dad, do you know her? Did you and her—”
“Why are you asking about her out of the blue?”
By his tone, it could practically be confirmed that Murphy knew about Jordyn.
“Dad, do you have a grudge against Jordyn? Did you abandon her back then?”
“It’s all in the past. Why are you still bringing it up?” Murphy’s voice was low.
“Dad, so you really did abandon her and let her down?”
Murphy hesitated for a moment before answering, “All right. If you have nothing else to say, I still have
some matters to settle.” After that, he hung up the call.
The three of them exchanged glances. It was obvious that Murphy knew who Jordyn was.
There was a huge possibility that Murphy was ashamed of his actions, seeing how he refused to bring
up the past.
“So… What should we do about it now?” Levant asked the duo.
“Is there a possibility that we could resolve the grudge between them?” Evan asked.
