Chapter 411
However, he hesitated about whether to tell Felix about this matter.
Seeing his expression change, Felix spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Drake, if I'm not mistaken, the Drake family also has a key, right?"
Timothy was silent for a few seconds before looking at Felix and saying, "Yes, but how does the Clinton family, being in Dawnridge, also have a key?"
Felix shook his head. "I don't know either. I only found out the Clinton family had a key after Thomas got it. The key was always managed by my grandmother, and she never mentioned it to me. Later, when I came to Thundertop, I learned that someone had asked the Clinton family to keep the key, so I returned it to that person."
As for who that person was, Felix had no intention of telling Timothy.
Timothy could see that Felix was hiding something, but he didn't press further.
"If Thomas really came for the key, there might be someone who knows about the forces behind him."
"Who?"
"Christopher Fay."
Felix's eyes flashed with surprise. "Mr. Drake, are you talking about Christopher?"
"Yes, but Christopher has been retired for many years. It's very difficult to meet him."
The Fay Family was also one of the four major families in Thundertop, but twenty years ago, the Fay Family suddenly started to keep a low profile. Although the Fay Family still had some influence in the business world today, it was still somewhat inferior compared to the other three families.
Even though the Fay Family seemed to be retreating from the spotlight, the other families in Thundertop still didn't dare to underestimate them.
"Mr. Drake, do you know where Christopher lives now?"
"I'm not sure, but if we send someone to investigate, we should be able to find out."
Felix nodded. "Then I'll trouble you with this matter, Mr. Drake. Once you find Christopher's address, please send it to me, and I'll go see him myself."
"No need. The Clinton Group has only been in Thundertop for a few years. Even if you have Christopher's address, he won't see you. I'll find a way to meet Christopher. I'll inform you as soon as I have any news."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."
After the two parted ways, Timothy went straight back to the Drake family.
Eliza was surprised to see Timothy return.
"Why are you back at this time?" Eliza asked.
"I have something important to tell you. Let's go to my study."
Ten minutes later, in the study.
Eliza's face turned extremely grim, and she said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that what happened twenty-six years ago is going to happen again?"
"I will do my best to prevent it. Have you hidden the key well?"
Eliza nodded. "Yes, I hid it in a place no one would ever think of."
"Good. If one day our children and I are captured and used to threaten you, you must not reveal the location of the key. If that person gets all the keys, it will be a disaster for everyone."
Hearing this, Eliza's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked, "If I could, I would rather we never got that key, so we wouldn't have to bear this burden."
Timothy was silent for a few seconds before saying slowly, "Someone has to bear this burden. If not us, then our son and daughter."
Eliza lowered her head, her body trembling slightly. "Twenty-six years ago, because of the key, Caleb almost didn't get a chance to come into this world. I didn't expect we would have to go through all that again."
Timothy held her in his arms and said softly, "It's not the worst yet. Don't be so pessimistic. I will do my best to protect this family."
"Okay."
After comforting Eliza for a while, Timothy returned to the company.
After calling his secretary Declan into the office, Timothy said in a low voice, "Find out where Christopher lives now. Remember, keep this matter low-key. I don't want anyone else to know about it."
Seeing his serious expression, Declan nodded. "Alright, I understand."
After Declan left, Timothy's face turned extremely cold.
He would never let what happened back then happen again!
An hour before the end of the workday, Constance suddenly received a call from Rebecca, inviting her to go shopping in the evening.
Both of them were usually busy, so they generally arranged to go shopping in the evening.
However, today Constance didn't really want to go and hesitated. "Rebecca, can we do it another day? I have something to do today."
Rebecca was a bit surprised. "What is it? Does it have to do with Felix?"
Constance bit her lip and softly said, "Yes."
"So it really has to do with him. Is it because of the recent rumors about many partners terminating their contracts with the Clinton Group?"
Constance was a bit surprised. "Even you know about it? It seems this matter is indeed widely known."
Saying this, Constance became even more worried about Felix.
Rebecca couldn't help but ask, "Constance, what do you mean by that? "
"I was just a bit surprised. After all, you're usually very busy, running between the company and the film crew every day, and don't have time to hear these things."
Rebecca snorted, "Even though I'm busy, I still care about business matters. You don't need to worry about this. The Clinton Group is a big company; nothing will happen. Besides, Felix's birthday seems to be coming up. Aren't you going to buy him a gift?"
Constance was taken aback. "How do you know his birthday?"
"Recently, while investing in a new movie, an actress who had met Felix at a business party fell for him at first sight and collected a lot of information about him. She's been fretting every day about whether to give Felix a birthday gift to get close to him."
Constance thought, 'I didn't expect Felix to be so charming, even attracting a female star.'
"Are you thinking that Felix is very charming?"
Constance was a bit helpless. "How did you know?"
"That's why I'm your best friend."
After a pause, Rebecca continued, "But if you really have feelings for Felix, you should seriously consider giving it another try. Recently, I've attended several parties, and many wealthy businessmen in Thundertop are planning to introduce their daughters to Felix. He's very popular."
The thought of Felix possibly being with another woman made Constance feel uncomfortable.
They hadn't even divorced yet, and people were already trying to set him up with someone else.
But then again, not many people knew they were married.
"Are you coming out tonight or not? If not, I'll ask someone else," Rebecca asked.
"I'll go! Come pick me up at my office building tonight."
But buying a birthday gift for Felix was just a side task; the main purpose was to accompany Rebecca.
Thinking this, Constance felt much better.
"OK, I'll be there on time."
At five o'clock in the evening, Constance got off work on time. As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Rebecca's Lamborghini parked by the roadside, attracting a lot of attention.
She walked to the car, opened the door, and got in.
As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, Rebecca stepped on the gas and merged into the traffic.
"Constance, it seems that in your heart, I'm becoming less important than Felix. If I hadn't told you his birthday was coming up, were you planning not to come out with me tonight?" Rebecca said.
