Chapter 474 -474: What are you holding in your hand?

Brandon Piers did not want Abigail to fall into self-blame, nor did he think this matter was Abigail’s responsibility.

Successfully changing the topic, Abigail suddenly remembered something. “How did you investigate in this direction? Was it because those drugs had already been used in competitions?”

“Do you remember Ruby Green? She had a problem with her leg and later appeared twice unharmed. Once at the engagement ceremony and once at the charity auction evening. I suspected she had injected forbidden drugs. By coincidence, I discovered the source of the drugs, which were privately sold by a researcher in the laboratory,” Brandon said at the time. He was just suspicious and did not expect to uncover so much.

“Then he must have sold a semi-finished product.” Abigail pondered for a while before responding. If it were her formulated drugs, it could not have such significant side effects.

She had seen Ruby Green’s leg at the charity auction and had suspected that she used forbidden drugs, but she did not expect those drugs to have been leaked from Sincere’s laboratory.

Her feelings were complicated for a moment.

Then a thought flashed through her mind, and her almond eyes widened suddenly. “Do you think… they might actually not know the dosage ratios?”

Ruby Green’s situation made Abigail think that there was a problem with the dosage ratio, which caused Ruby Green’s nerve death. But she immediately shook her head; it should not be. She had left the formula with her senior brother.

Brandon observed Abigail’s ever-changing expressions and thought for a moment. “Maybe it’s not that they don’t know the ratio, but Dr. Smith’s ratio didn’t meet their requirements for competition, so they conducted new experiments, and Ruby Green inadvertently became an experiment subject.”

Abigail looked at the man in disbelief.

“I will have someone check if Sincere Hospital has had other cases similar to Ruby Green’s during this period,” Brandon said, feeling that his guess was more in line with those people’s interests.

Abigail thought for a moment. “Also check if any unexpected champions in those competitions had physical problems afterward.”

Maybe something could be discovered.

Just thinking that the person behind this might be her senior brother made Abigail feel uneasy.

She had always thought that her senior brother, with his character, would never return to the Foster family, much less get involved in the power struggle within Foster. She did not expect him to be deeply involved in ways she did not know.

With a sigh, Abigail did not know how to describe her feelings.

“Okay,” Brandon agreed. He reached out and pinched Abigail’s cheek. “Don’t overthink. You have me now. Compared to the Piers family, the Foster family is nothing.”

“But your uncle…”

“A mere clown,” Brandon said dismissively, completely forgetting how last time Uncle Piers and Jeffrey Foster nearly ended his life. Without Abigail, he would have returned to the earth already.

Abigail, of course, had not forgotten and knew the complexity of the Piers family and Brandon’s isolated state. Suddenly remembering something, she said, “Wait for me here.”

Brandon did not understand. “Hmm?”

“Just wait for me.” Abigail did not say more, getting off Brandon and rushing out of the study.

Brandon watched his little chubby figure leave, bewildered. What was she so rushed to do?

As Brandon wondered, a call from Alex came in. “What’s happening?”

“Master Piers teamed up with Interpol and rescued Daniel Piers, causing significant damage to the SIS sect. As for the funds, don’t worry; our people have already destroyed them. Neither the SIS nor Master Piers got them. But I am worried he will suspect you. Also, young Master Piers was severely shocked, and the hospital reports he hasn’t woken up yet,” Alex reported with some concern.

This time, Master Piers suffered losses at the hands of the second young master, and Daniel was physically and mentally traumatized. It would take at least a year or more to recover, and Master Piers would not let the second young master off.

“I understand. Thoroughly clean up the loose ends. Don’t let anyone start watching. Assign someone to look after Miss and… mother.” Mentioning “mother,” Brandon let out a heavy sigh.

“Yes, sir.” Alex acknowledged.

Brandon hung up and furrowed his brows slightly. If Uncle partnered with the Foster family, it would not be a small play, likely not just for money.

As he pondered, Pullan entered. “Second young master, Special Assistant Max and Secretary Max have arrived and wish to see you.”

“Now? Let them in.” Brandon frowned. Why were Kennan Max and Kelvin Max visiting the manor at this time?

“Yes.” Pullan went out to relay the message.

In no time, the two walked in. Brandon saw the travel-stained brothers and knew it was not a small matter. He frowned and asked, “What happened?”

Kennan Max knelt down with a thud. “Second young master, please punish me.”

“State the matter,” Brandon said, displeased.

“Master Piers suddenly attacked the families of the remaining three shareholders simultaneously. Our people were diverted, and by the time they arrived, it was too late.” Kennan Max confessed with guilt. His people had been watching the three, guarding against Master Piers. But they were caught off guard.

He had been careless.

“Even after his son suffered so much, he still thought about scheming against us. It seems Daniel’s value in his heart is not that high,” Brandon said coldly.

He had guessed that his uncle would sooner or later target some small shareholders but did not expect the attack to happen when Daniel had an accident. From F Nation, he could extend his hand so far, it seemed all premeditated—old fox!

“Second young master, what should we do? The hospital arrangements still need time. You know Master Piers’s methods. If those people don’t comply, they likely won’t survive,” Kelvin Max, who sided with his kneeling brother, stepped forward and asked. He always felt the second young master was too kind-hearted. If they had acted tough initially, Master Piers wouldn’t have struck first.

But now, with Master Piers seizing the opportunity, even the most cunning shareholders won’t hold out long, since holding shares means nothing if you are dead.

Brandon did not respond immediately, feeling some regret. He should not have listened to his grandfather and left those useless old men. Now, without support, he had to find ways to rescue them.

However, lamenting was useless. The accident with the three shareholders disrupted his plans. If their shares were acquired by his uncle, it would be a hassle.

This time, with such a significant incident involving Daniel, his uncle’s temper would not allow him to swallow it. Returning to the country, he would surely act. Brandon could only follow the Midsummer Trust path.

“Second young master, please punish me,” Kennan Max implored. His face was wooden, showing little emotion, but his eyes were full of guilt.

Kelvin Max also felt deeply remorseful for his negligence.

At that moment, Abigail came in with a contract. Seeing Pullan’s stern face at the door, Kennan Max kneeling inside, and usually composed Kelvin Max with his head down, she turned to Brandon with concern. “What happened?”

For Kennan Max to kneel, it must be serious. Abigail was worried.

Brandon glanced at Kennan Max on the ground. “Get up.”

“Thank you, second young master.” Kennan Max stood up, still looking guilty.

Abigail held the contract, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

Brandon looked at her, “What are you holding?”
