The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power
Chapter 719 Unraveling the Mystery

"This... is also one of the reasons I didn't want to go home." Shannon sighed.

"About seventeen or eighteen years ago, I met Cassius and wanted to marry him.

"But my father disapproved of our marriage because he considered Cassius beneath our family's status and not a suitable match.

"Later, I happened to overhear him and a few others having a secret conversation in the study room. So, I used that as leverage to force him to agree to our marriage." After hearing this, Kingsley put down his cutlery.

"Secret conversation? What important matter were they discussing that could make him agree to marry off his daughter?" he asked curiously.

Cassius chimed in, "Yes. You haven't told me the details all these years, and I've been very curious."

"They were discussing to kill someone." Shannon took a deep breath.

"It was an extremely heinous act, and I-I didn't want anyone to know about it."

Her eyes started to well up with tears.

"But today, the Timothys came to our door, trying to bring me home forcefully. And, Boss Nicholson, you saved Cassius. It's like saving our whole family.

"So, I'm willing to tell you what happened back then.

"I believe that once you hear it, you'll understand why I don't even want to see my father."

Kingsley nodded silently. He understood that Shannon feared he would see her as a heartless and ungrateful person.

That's why she chose to reveal the truth, seeking his protection for herself and her family.

"On that day, my father was in a good mood. He said he had acquired some information from the black market. And that information happens to confirm his suspicions," Shannon narrated slowly. "Seeing him in a good mood, I tried again to get his approval for my marriage with Cassius. But he simply waved his hand and chased me out of the study room. "However, I couldn't just accept that. I hid in a nearby room and waited until all his guests arrived. Then, I sneaked out and eavesdropped on their conversation." As she spoke, Shannon's mouth felt dry, so she picked up a glass of water and took a sip.

Kingsley took this opportunity to ask, "Who were the guests he invited?"

"I don't know them personally, but from what I heard, they were Lawson, Fox, Summers, and Jacob," Shannon replied.

"That night left a deep impression on me, so I remember it very clearly."

Boom!

Kingsley's mind was shaken to its core.

Lawson, Fox, Summers, and Jacob.

Who else could they be besides Jonah Lawson, Matt Fox, Randy Summers, and Felix Jacob?

He instinctively clenched his fists, and his emotions started to get chaotic.

Ever since he heard Cassius' words, he sensed that things might not be simple.

He even had a faint suspicion that the Timothy Family might be connected to the tragedy seventeen years ago.

And now, he could not believe that the Timothy Family was indeed tied to the death of his parents.

Sensing that Kingsley's emotions were off, Cassius cautiously asked, "Boss Nicholson, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Kingsley took a deep breath, calming himself down.

"Mrs. White, please continue."

Shannon nodded and continued. "I was hiding outside the door, listening to them plot to kill someone from The Nightingale Intelligence Agency. Oh, yes, that person was Nicholson too.

"My father said The NIA Agency's influence had grown too extensive and had touched the interests of certain individuals.

"He also promised those four people that he would share the remaining assets with them once they brought down The NIA Agency, making them successful and famous." After hearing this, Kingsley understood everything.

His father was the head of The NIA Agency, an intelligence organization that had conflicts with powerful figures. That's why Mr. Timothy was trying to replace a way to kill him.

As for what Shannon just mentioned, her father bought some information from the black market, which coincided with his suspicions.

Presumably, it was about the intelligence on The NIA Agency that he purchased from Vincent.
