"Interesting."
After reading the letter, Durant smiled and nodded slightly.
But the smile was far from friendly.
"It seems the killing of this group was justified, and the investigation into your family is certainly a precaution."
"What happened?"
Vivian tilted her head, looking at the letter in Durant's hand.
Durant casually set the letter aside,
"Your stepmother already sees me as an enemy and wants to join forces with the Hawk Clan to press me dead in the Northern Wasteland."
"Why?"
Vivian was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized, "Because my sister and I have become yours?"
"Your stepmother is worried that in Avril's name, I might fight for the family's inheritance."
Durant couldn't help but frown slightly when he mentioned this,
"Why has she suddenly developed such concerns?"
"Could it be... your father hasn't clearly passed the title to your younger brother?"
