Chapter 1058 The Mysterious Collaborator Was David
Cassie was in disbelief.
Sophia and Oliver were so young, yet they were already being targeted.
This time, they were lucky, but what about the next time?
She glared at Joseph with anger and hatred. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have let Sophia and Oliver stay with you, Joseph. You've ruined me, and now you want to harm the children. Why am I so unlucky to have met you in this life?"
Her words pierced Joseph's heart like a dagger.
His heart ached and tightened, but he could only continue, "It's not the Chamberlain family that wants to harm Sophia and Oliver."
Cassie sneered. "You just said Wyatt is an undercover in the Chamberlain family. If it's not the Chamberlains' doing , how does he know the truth?"
"Wyatt said Marcus has a very mysterious collaborator who has been helping him with a lot of shady dealings. That mysterious collaborator has a group of assassins from Neya City."
Cassie was stunned when she heard Neya City.
She remembered Spencer mentioning before that Rex, who was Megan's lover, was killed by assassins from Neya City. At that time, she suspected there was an unknown force behind Megan, but even after Spencer personally investigated in Neya City, he couldn't find out who was behind it.
"Cassie, Felix doesn't like me, so he wants to kill me," Joseph explained seriously, "In fact, in the struggle between the Hernandez family and the Chamberlain family, the Hernandez family has always been suppressed. The Hernandez Group's chip data was stolen, the Chamberlains made Richard a fool, Marcus abandoned my mom, and even Liam was killed by the Chamberlains ."
"What? The Chamberlains killed Liam?" Cassie was once again shocked by the news. "Isn't he Marcus's son?"
"He's not," Joseph said, enduring the pain, "Liam is actually my biological brother. My mom got drunk that night and mistook the person she slept with for Marcus. Marcus knew all along and wanted to use her pregnancy to get close to the Hernandez family. Later, I found out that Athena betrayed Dragon, and Liam was thrown off a cliff into the sea."
Cassie was stunned.
Although Liam had been missing for a long time, as long as there was no body, he might be alive. She never thought Liam was thrown into the sea by Marcus.
Could Marcus be so ruthless?
As Cassie thought about how Liam was gone, her eyes stung with pain.
She had always considered Liam a good friend.
It seemed that ever since she came back, the people around her were slowly disappearing.
Those who hadn't disappeared had become so unfamiliar that they scared her.
Joseph snapped out of his pain and said, "To the Chamberlain family, I've always been in a passive position. Now, they are high and mighty and wouldn't think of continuously suppressing me. I think it's unlikely that the Chamberlain family would want to harm Sophia and Oliver at this time. The reason Wyatt got the information was that he overheard the assassins from Neya City. It seems the Chamberlain family is unaware."
"You mean the person behind the scenes is just Marcus's mysterious collaborator, and the Chamberlain family didn't give this order." Cassie quickly caught on.
Joseph nodded, looking at her complexly. "The mysterious collaborator might be David."
Cassie was taken aback.
If it were before, she would have thought Joseph was slandering David, but Arthur's death made her uncertain.
She thought to herself, 'Would David be so cruel as to not even spare Sophia and Oliver? Moreover, they have grown up under his watch.'
"Do you have any evidence?" After a long time, she asked with difficulty.
"I don't." Joseph shook his head frustratedly. "Wyatt has only been undercover for a short time. It's already impressive that he got this much information. He can't be too aggressive, or he will be suspected. The reason I suspect David is that in recent years, David has always been invited to Felix's wedding banquet and every event from the Chamberlain family. He has no background or power, yet he suddenly rose to his current position. It's very likely he's been secretly working for the Chamberlain family."
Cassie's mind went blank.
In the afternoon, she saw a video of David having sex with Lola, and now she learned that he might be colluding with the Chamberlain family.
"And David has a motive," Joseph continued, "On Marigold's birthday, when I was with you in the bathroom, he was so angry that he lost control and beat you like that. It shows the malice in his heart. He wants to kill Sophia and Oliver, first to make me feel heart-wrenching, and second, if Sophia and Oliver die while under my care, you will hate me, and there will be no possibility between us."
Cassie's lips trembled slightly. She remembered the video in which David whipped Lola with a ferocious, very perverted look.
She thought to herself, 'Joseph is right. Since we did something wrong to David, he wouldn't let it go easily. He is so good at disguising himself. What is hidden behind his gentle expression? This afternoon, David wanted to take Sophia and Oliver out to eat. I told him that Joseph would bring Sophia and Oliver back to the Hernandez family today. Is it from that moment that he decided to act? Maybe it is my fault. I told Sophia and Oliver's whereabouts to him.'
"Cassie," Joseph called her, seeing her delicate face turn blanched. He reached out and held her hand, only to find it trembling and cold. "Cassie, I know you might not believe me, but..."
"You might be right," Cassie interrupted.
Joseph was stunned but not happy. Instead, he was more worried. "Did you find something, or did David do something to you again?"
"No." Cassie showed deep regret. She used to scold Joseph for his poor judgment, but she was the same as him. "In any case, he's a bit scary. I'm mainly worried about Sophia and Oliver."
"They shouldn't go to kindergarten for now. They should stay at the Hernandez Mansion. I'll have people protect there around the clock. As long as they don't go out, they won't be in danger." Joseph looked at her. "I'm still worried about you, Cassie. Leave David. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you stay with him. David has a purpose for getting close to you."
"I know. He wants to get back at me for having sex with you on the island after I got married." Cassie smiled bitterly.
"It's not just that." Joseph hesitated as what Cameron said was just a guess without evidence, so he could only say, "In any case, listen to me and leave him. If he doesn't want a divorce, I can be your lawyer and file for divorce."
