Chapter 564 Do You Know Zack?

According to my understanding of Shawn, he was implying that either Aimes or Meredith thought toohighly of themselves. However, Aimes, who didn't understand him, eagerly asked, 'Are you referring tome or Meredith?'

Shawn proceeded to completely ignore Aimes. Seeing this, Kevin and Diego took their turn to talkAimes, who still stubbornly tagged Shawn and questioned him, out of it. Ian was the one whoeventually said what he thought in the group. 'Aimes, you said that Sunny would have died more than ahundred times if it weren't for Meredith, didn't you? Let me explain to you what flattering yourselfmeans! Those who work in this industry have long known that their life and death are not within theircontrol. Naturally, Sunny has mentally prepared himself to lose his life. In other words, it is his own lifeno matter if he is dead or alive! He had never begged Meredith to save him. It was Meredith… This isgoing to sound bad, but she was indeed the one who flattered herself and acted on her own. Also,Sunny saved her so many times as well. The favor they owe each other should be offset. You shouldn'tuse this kind of thing to pressure Sunny into feeling like he owes her his gratitude.'

'So, Meredith had always… She is now lying in a casket, for goodness' sake! Does his saying thatthere is no need for him to attend her funeral put an end to her 'self-flattery'? Are these words the onlything she got in exchange for her lifetime's worth of sacrifices? Ian, it must be easy for you to criticizeas a bystander. Oh, wait, I'm sure you know how it feels, now that Eve is in love with someone else.Neither you nor Meredith can't have what you want. Are you not flattering yourself by spending yourdays pestering Eve?'

'Aimes, this and that are different things.'

'Hmph! You bunch of cold-blooded animals.'

He immediately left the group after throwing that out.

He was disappointed in us.

He was so disappointed he didn't want to stay in this group any longer.

I could only lament to myself. I didn't think Aimes was at fault.

All he did was treat Meredith as a friend.

But then again, Shawn didn't do anything wrong either.

In fact, no one was at fault. Everyone had different fixations, circles, and friends they wanted to help.Simply put, people of different aspirations or principles couldn't get along. Aimes and I… The thought ofhow he always gave me the cold shoulder during the times we bumped into each other suddenly cameto mind.

The reason he had never liked me was because of Tracy and Meredith.

His friends were suffering and heartbroken because of me. Meredith, especially, had passed away.

But what did I ever do wrong?

LG was the one who kept picking a fight with me.

It was not like I had ever started something with her.

I took a deep breath and put down my phone. Right then, the butler at the castle sent me a message. 'Iwill personally send that child to Bryxton tomorrow, Ms. Felix. Is there anything else that you need?'

'All is good,' I replied.

I had been thinking about one thing all afternoon—who was the person who assassinated Nicholas'friend, Zack?

There were only a few men who were more powerful than Nicholas.

Furthermore, the Nicholas I knew wouldn't just sit back and wait.

He must be looking for the right time to strike.

Closing my eyes, I muttered to myself, "A blind lady… Zack the bodyguard… assassinated by his ownemployer… Whom could it be?" My thoughts suddenly led me to one key person.

Joseph.

As a bodyguard, Joseph would know this industry well. Thinking that he probably knew who thebodyguards of certain big figures were, I decided to give him a call.

"Ma'am," he respectfully greeted me as soon as he accepted the call.

"Joseph, I have something to ask you."

Again, he courteously answered, "Please do."

"How well do you know the private security industry?"

"I have always been in this industry. I know 80% of the industry and people because everyone isprivately in a group for bodyguards."

"A group for bodyguards?" I asked curiously. "What does that mean?"

Joseph's breath suddenly hitched. "Stop messing around," he breathed.

I was taken aback by what I heard. However, he quickly explained, "Apologies, ma'am. I'm at home,and she is… here. I will go to the balcony and continue the conversation."

By her, he meant Tracy.

They were now…

My cheeks turned pink at the realization that I was being a killjoy.

"It is a WhatsApp group where people in the same industry gather to communicate. Communication isadvanced now."

He took a second to calm down before he continued to explain. "At first, the Xenos Family forbade usfrom joining the group, but since Old Master James' passing, the person in charge told me to sneak in.

I replace out a lot of new things every day, which is why I know a lot about the industry. May I ask why areyou suddenly asking me this, ma'am? Is there a problem?"

"I want to know about someone."

"Please tell me, ma'am."

"I don't know his name, but I have heard people call him Zack. He was discharged from the army andhe had a blind fiancée. His close friend was Nicholas Forger. Do you know him?"

"Zack…" Joseph hesitantly repeated.

Noticing his odd reaction, I asked him again, "You know him?"

"If he was discharged from the army, had a blind fiancée, and was a friend of Nicholas Forger… Puttingall the together, I'm guessing you are talking about—"

As though realizing he said something he shouldn't, he came to an abrupt stop.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I know him, but the bodyguards signed a non-disclosure agreement back then. Wemust never talk about Zack no matter the place and time, or else we will be killed."

What Joseph says sounds grave.

And a non-disclosure agreement?

Who would let the bodyguards of the Xenos Family sign a non-disclosure agreement other than theXenoses themselves?!

I didn't hesitate to ask him again, "Was it my father or Shawn?"

"Miss, you are putting me on the spot," he reluctantly replied.

"Joseph, I am the lady of the Xenos—"

"Miss, this isn't as simple as it sounds." To my surprise, he cut me off. "Three other people and myselfhave been placed under surveillance after we signed the non-disclosure agreement. The agreementclearly states that we will be targeted if anyone other than ourselves learns about this. It is notsomething that can be changed just because you are the lady of the house now… Miss, there are toomany secrets and hidden truths from back then that you shouldn't dig into."

Other than Joseph, three other people knew Zack.

Just what kind of secret was it that they wanted to keep so badly?

I didn't get any useful clues from Joseph, but I was sure that the Xenoses were the ones who wanted tohide the truth.

Who exactly was the head of the Xenos Family?!

It was either my father or Shawn.

But why were they forbidding everyone from talking about Zack?

To be honest, I had guessed that Joseph wasn't the only one who knew the truth. I was sure thatAnthony, the person in charge of the Xenos Family, and Shawn knew too.

Furthermore, Joseph was clearly rejecting me.

It would be useless even if I pressured him with my position as the lady of the house.

I could already foresee how it would be the same way if I went and asked Anthony instead.

It seemed that Shawn was the only one I could ask.

But what if he's the one who planned this?

Won't I be invading his privacy if I ask him?

Who shall I try my luck on among the three of them?

After thinking about it, I decided Anthony was the one I should ask.

After all, I gave him all the power in the Xenos Family.

I was the only one he would be loyal to for the rest of his life.

If he ended up hiding things from me about this as Joseph did, that would mean that the person I chosewasn't up to mark. It wasn't that I was trying to make things tough for him. It was just that someone in

his position should never hide anything from me.

I only contacted him after I spent a long time mulling over it.

After he picked up the phone, he asked, "What are your orders, ma'am?"

"Do you know Zack?"
